About: I've cared for three pets since 2018, all hyper Boston Terriers, and I understand dogs with temperament and behavior issues. I love all animals (but dogs are my favorite). Current and future availability is extensive. I'm taking a year off from school and working to earn money. I have no plans to travel and will be available 7 days a week. I regularly walk, feed and play with my Boston Terrier. And, of course, his safety is the upmost importance to me. He's my companion and greatest friend.
“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”
“Natalia has been great with our cats, making sure that they are happy and cared for while we are away. It's been touching to see one of our timid cats open up to her. We love the text and picture updates.”
“Natalie is great. She has checked in on our two cats multiple times while we’ve been out of town and she does an excellent job. Natalie gives them lots of attention and based on the adorable pictures she sends, they like interacting with her.”
“Vidya is fantastic. We always feel such peace of mind when she’s taking care of our cats because she is so attentive and responsive. Our older cat has been very sick and she was incredibly caring.”
“Michaela has been a wonderful cat sitter for our two kitties! She is very responsive, responsible, and conscientious. You can tell from the pictures she sends that she enjoys taking care of and playing with our little guys—and they’re happy to be with her as well! We’ll definitely call on Michaela again — she’s terrific!”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”
“Lingshan did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs! She was very responsive, kept me updated, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them, and I would absolutely hire her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with dogs and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to owning dogs, I've also fostered cats, which has given me experience helping animals adjust to new environments and providing patient, attentive care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work with each client’s schedule to make sure their pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s individual needs and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if provided), and any special preferences. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and positive attention so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would give my own.
“Jonathan was very responsive and took great care of our cats and dogs. He sent us several videos and photos of our pets each time he visited. We would book him again and would recommend him to others.”
“Landy has been walking our dogs every day for the last weeks and we are so happy. One dog recently had ACL surgery and requires some support on her walk and Landy does a great job managing that situation and providing them with daily love. She sends pictures and is really easy to work with. Best of all, the pups clearly love her.”

Syd was amazing with my two furbabies while we were on our vacation. She cared for one very active and high energy dog along with a senior dog that isn’t getting around much. Both have very different care needs and Syd was able to accommodate both. All updates and pictures were timely and she even highlighted changes she noticed in my senior dog for my awareness. I absolutely recommend Syd for your
Michaela is a wonderful person. She took exceptional care of my doggy, Peppy! He had a fun day with her! She texted me when she was on her way, arrived on time, and followed all of my detailed directions. I am so proud of how well he did too. Before her first day caring for him, she met me and I discussed everything with her. I could tell she cared. She took initiative on wanting to learn everything about him and asked great questions. We even went for a little walk. Watching her interact with Peppy made me feel very safe and confident. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby bear. He is excited to spend time with you again soon 🤎🐾
Chedda was amazing with my dogs! She was reliable, followed all of my instructions, kept them entertained, and went above and beyond during her visits. My dogs took to her right away, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again!
Tenzin was excellent, very conscientious and communicative. She did everything I asked of her, and my pets (a dog and 2 cats) seemed to love her. She wasn't fazed at all by my 120 lb dog or my 6.5 lb cat; she handled both extremes with skill, confidence and care. I'll be looking to rebook her regularly from now on if possible!
Sunny enjoyed another wonderful week with Evan. He’s very observant with Sunny’s mood and energy level and adjusts her walk accordingly. He knows how to entice Sunny to get up and move around so she can get her daily steps in. Always very appreciative of his help with my senior dog!
Rachel is an excellent care person : kind and caring. She also gave us wonderful photos of the dogs. during her stay there was a strong thunderstorm which frightened the dogs. There was also a dead squirrel in the yard - which had never happened before. Rachel handled it all well: letting me know what was happening. i would trust her and use her again.
As always Angela has been an amazing sitter to my little Rosie. I go on a lot of work trips and this time I extended with some person vacation. I never had to worry about Rosie because I knew she was in good hands. Angela is excellent with communicating and providing updates. Thank you Angela you really are the best! ❤️
Justin stayed in our home for five days and cared for our two dogs and two cats while we were away. We have a fairly complicated pet situation, including an older dog who can be wary of strangers and requires medication, as well as two cats living on different levels of the house, one of whom also needs medication. We had never left all of our pets for this length of time before, so it was important to find someone we could trust. Justin communicated well throughout our trip, kept us updated, and handled our pets’ routines and medication schedules responsibly. He managed a lot of moving parts and took good care of the animals and our home while we were away. We appreciated his reliability and the peace of mind he provided during our first extended time away from our pets.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Chevy Chase stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chevy Chase choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Chevy Chase with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
