“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
About: I have always had pets since childhood and adore all kinds, even exotics! I have 3 years of veterinary medicine experience and I am comfortable with temperaments, body language, senior pet care, wound care and medication administration. I am able to stop in to care for pets before and after work as well as more frequently depending on distance. I will hangout for a little to make our friend feel a little less lonely if you’re on a trip! I ensure that all items are out of reach and that all medication and food are given (plus some treats!). Making the pet comfortable and happy is my goal!
“Kat is Amazing. This was her first visit with our dog Fergus and je had a great time. She arrived at our agreed time and took wonderful care of our boy. We will definitely be using Kat again to care for our boy.”
“Alexis was very attentive to our 3 cats. We will definitely book her again. Our cats range from young to old and they all loved her. She’s responsible and trustworthy.”
“Elizabeth was extremely caring and responsible for our two cats during a month long trip during the winter (including bad weather). We would definitely recommend her for providing care for any fur family members.”
“As always, Colleen was great. Daily visits and photos to show how well my cat was being treated. Additionally, she took the job over the holidays when I really needed to go out of town for a family matter and I didn't know if I would be able to get a cat sitter. She's the best!”
“We hope that Danielle can continue to help us out with our dog. She was very responsive to our inquiries and made our first time using Rover a breeze. She took great care of our dog and we felt at ease going away for the weekend knowing Danielle was watching our pup!!”
“Rachel was wonderful. My dogs were excited every time she visited. She left copious notes on what they were up to. She cleaned up any messes they made and kept them happy, healthy and safe.”
“Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dog and cat. Her experience and knowledge came into play when our dog got a little sick, and she was on top of everything! Rachel paid extra attention and time with our pup, treated her like a princess, and helped us not feel stressed about it. We knew our pets were in such good hands. She’s very thorough with notes and pics with every visit.”
“Aria was amazing! She took such good care of our puppy and still made sure our older dogs got plenty of love and attention too. She kept in touch with great communication, which I really appreciated. Everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home. Definitely booking with her again!”
About: I currently work at a pet store, meaning I work with all types of animals, but dogs being the most common one. I am the perfect fit for your fur babies. I am still a high school student, but I work for a pet store meaning I care for pets while at work and at home! I will be very slow and careful when first meeting your pets. When going outside I will make sure they are leashed and or harnessed.
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She stepped in last minute after I had a cancellation and was so stressed about finding someone. She took great care of my 3 kitties and was great with communication. I very much appreciated the picture updates and detailed notes she left for me each day. I would highly recommend her services and look forwarded to booking her in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Victoria and I am currently working at a local animal hospital. I have grown up around animals, and always had pets as my sidekicks! My love for animals has grown over the years leading me to attending Wilson College for veterinary medicine and now working in the field. With the experiences from college and previous pet care jobs, I am sure your pet will be in great care! I am able to provide any extra care needed; ex: dietary changes, injections, medication administration, etc. Willing to make your companion feel right at home and get the best care. Oh, and pet parents will always get updates on their babies! Currently working 10hr days Monday-Thursday. Off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weekends would be mostly ideal. Could potentially work something out if needed during the week. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Availability to use full basement living area to host a pet that needs separated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,052 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethesda. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
