About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I had my first dog, adopted from Dogs XL, in 2014. I love big dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. All breeds and types (with a preferred love for rescues!). I love learning the personalities of new animals, and learning their quirks and how they show their love. I just graduated from college and am currently looking for long-term employment. Due to only having part-time gigs right now, your animal will have frequent walks, supervised time outside, and pets. I am willing to be flexible in my schedule for home visits too, coming as frequently as desired. I have a fenced yard and no other animals in the house, but two parents, a brother, and myself (all pet lovers), so there will be lots of people to keep your animals company and play.
About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
“This was our second time booking Teffni, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! We have three cats and Teffni is so patient and attentive with each of their personalities. She also carefully managed their different food routines. We loved getting regular updates and photos during each visit. We came home to three content, well-cared-for cats. We’ll definitely continue booking with Teffni! Highly recommend!”
“Jonathan is very friendly and nice. He came to meet and see puppies before the actual book to get to know them. He’s well taken care of them and dogs are very happy. He did a big favor for us. I truly recommend him as dog sitter.”
About: Grew up on a farm with a variety of animals, always had a pet in my life. Understand the nonverbal queues of cats and dogs. I am currently in nursing school through the army therefore I am available most weekends and holidays, possibly weekdays after 6 pm, for special occasions. I can follow the exact routine that you set, less stress for you and less stress on them, respecting their space and I prioritize safety.
“Thanks for caring for the kitties, they look serene and well-fed 😍. Thanks for the photos and communication. I felt very comfortable while away knowing they were in reliable hands.”
“Hyunjung was amazing with our kitty Luna! She kept such great care of her during her check ins while we were away for the weekend. She was timely, attentive, and took tons of good quality (and adorable) photos of Luna. Highly recommend and appreciated her amazing level of care.”
About: Hello! I'm Ellie and am available for occasional walking & drop-in visits. I love dogs and have been doing river for the last 5 years! I can also board and do doggy daycare (I do own a medium sized 10 year old Thurman as well but he loves new buddies!). I have 2 dog loving kids so for all boarding clients - dogs need to be kid-friendly. I love dogs - I will take them on long walks and plenty of playtime/pets! I've always loved dogs and used to volunteer with dogs at animal shelters and I used to work for a pet sitting company where I took care of all types of dogs and cats on the regular! Right now I welcome all sizes and I used to own large Goldens growing up :) Let me know if you have any questions! I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“Larquana was great with our 2 cats! She played with them and even our scaredy let her pet him. She was consistent with photos, updates, and general communication. Much appreciated!”
“Drew was amazing! First time in a long time— my dogs just welcomed someone with no issues :)… I highly recommend him as a dog sitter. His attention to details is also significant.”
“Vidya is an absolutely amazing pet sitter who cared for our cat while we were away on vacation. The attention to detail leading up to our booking, and care, concern, and communication during the pet visits, put me at ease knowing my cat, newly diagnosed with feline diabetes, was in capable hands. She navigated the medical instructions and precautions of his condition with both expert professionalism and a loving hand, and at the end of the visit, I received a lovely handwritten note full of thoughtful details that I so appreciated. Most importantly, my cat was in good cheer and health upon our return home, and I could tell that the twice daily visits from his sitter and her interactions with him while there greatly reduced the stress our time away usually causes. And so, it is because of this experience and the many more that I hope to have in the future that I whole heartedly recommend Vidya.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chevy Chase
Caden was great and super flexible while pet sitting my three pets on short notice!! My dog is very shy/reactive and he was very accommodating and understanding of what she needed to be introduced. Caden took thorough and kind care of my two cats and one dog, was timely, and kept my apartment in excellent shape. I’ve never seen such a neat litter box!! I’m excited to hire him again.
Leila was fantastic and took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was prompt, professional, and very friendly with the cats. She provided regular updates and did an excellent job with their medications. I appreciated knowing they were in such good hands while I was gone.
Abigail was amazing! I have four cats and needed 1 drop in visit each day for food/water/litter box. I really appreciated the recaps each day with pictures. It was a huge relief knowing my fur babies were in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be using her for future bookings.
I needed someone to drop in for an hour for several days while I was out of town. Alyssa was always so punctual and gave me the best updates. My cat was so happy and the key hand off was a breeze. I highly recommend Alyssa. She’s very responsible and kind, and I will book her again :)

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,902 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chevy Chase. 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 Chevy Chase. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
