“Julianna was great with Amber and very communicative! She updated me daily and made sure to give her lots of treats and playtime. This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we worked with her!”
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
“Khadija was an amazing sitter for my weekend away. She sent pictures and videos very check-in and my cats who are typically very shy around new people were very friendly with her!”
“Jennifer is wonderful. This was the first time she took care of our cat, and it went well. She is easy to communicate with. We will definitely request her again.”
About: Four years ago I adopted a corgi named Pippin. When I got him, I did not know his history or what environment he was raised in. He came to me incredibly reactive to other dogs, but over time I was able to train him to handle encounters in a safe manner. For the next few years he will be living with my wife while she attends grad school. I would love to care for your dog until my little guy comes back home. I will provide personalized and attentive care to your pup the way I would for my own Pippin. I work an M-F office job that is 10 minutes from my apartment. My evenings and weekends are completely free, but my job still allows me to come home midday to check on your pup if you need any weekday care. My apartment is incredibly pet friendly. My own dog is living with my wife while she attends grad school so I will be able to provide all the care and attention your dog deserves. My apartment is located near a variety of parks and trails, so they will get some wonderful exercise.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5 years old - from walking to pet sitting. I love pets! I myself have a cat, but want a dog one day. For now, I am happy loving on other people’s pups and cats! I can come in before work (early, from 6-9am) and anytime after (about 3pm!), all days of the week except Sunday. I love pets so it will be my daily serotonin! I am careful and detail oriented. I will follow instructions to a T and take excellent care of your pup/cat according to your instructions!
About: I have had many dogs over the years, all adopted. Have fostered dogs too. Your pet will have access to several dog beds. My cairn and I would love to watch your dog with you are away. I am recently retired so am home most of the time. So your pet will get care and attention all day long that includes one daily walk. Additional walks available for a fee. I have a stockade fenced in back yard. I go outside several times during the day to hang on my deck and let my dog explore and play.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!
“I’m so grateful Armanush could come visit our cats during the four weeks we were away. It gave me peace of mind seeing photos and knowing they had company and interaction. I would ask her to watch my cats again for sure! Thank you very much, Anush!”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and empathy I have for both cats and their owners. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I treat every cat with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own cat, Lucre. I enjoy spending quality time with each cat, respecting their personality and making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for cats, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, cleaning, and play routines. I am committed to providing attentive care and making sure your cat feels comfortable while you are away. Your cat's safety and well-being are my top priorities. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and the home remains secure. I pay close attention to each cat's behavior and comfort level, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
About: I have had all three sizes of dogs in my life, small, medium, and large. Although no longer with me, living at my parents farm, I still enjoy all they have taught me about being a perfect pet owner. I enjoy being active with dogs , playing , running , and just relaxing and giving some treats. Your dog will be in good hands at all times. I work a full time job , but I have all afternoon to take care of your friend(doggy). I work around what your pet needs or what you as a owner want for your buddy. I currently live in an apartment, with a small living room. When I used to have my dogs , brushing their fur was a big part since they were double coated dogs. Daily exercise for their wellbeing and making sure they ate at the right times with the appropriate amounts for their weight. I understand the struggle of having an allergic dog , spring allergies. And the constant care and supervision you need to have when it comes to making sure your dog does not do certain behaviors.
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
“What can I say beyond the fact that Elizabeth was AMAZING with my cat son! My fur baby is incredibly shy and hides when new people are introduced into his space. I was extremely nervous about leaving him so long (approximately 11 days) with a sitter, but I’m so glad that Elizabeth assuaged those fears! On her first solo visit, she managed to coax the fur baby out of hiding spot and engaged with him. Her subsequent visits were full if pics with a not-so-why cat, a talkative cat (I thought he was only vocal with me!) and a cat wanting to be touched. She was patient and caring in dealing with my cat, and I greatly appreciate that. I cannot say enough about her cat sitting skills, seriously. Elizabeth is definitely a go-to for your cat sitting needs!”
“Aimee Rose has taken the time to get to know Lucy so that Lucy is comfortable with her after just a few visits. I am very happy to know the two of them are getting to know each other.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chevy Chase
Annika is always so sweet and amazing with Brooklyn!! 🥹💕 She’s been watching her since she was only 8 weeks old and now she’s almost 17 weeks, so I love that she’s been there since the beginning and has gotten to watch her grow! She always has great communication and sends me the cutest pictures and updates. I also really appreciate that she reinforces the things I’m teaching Brooklyn like her commands, sit, her name, etc. She actually takes the time to engage with her and work with her which means so much to me. I always know my baby is in good hands with Annika! 💕🐶
Joanne is a great sitter, she did an excellent job with my Hershey! She stayed in contact with me throughout the evening, checked in with updates regarding Hershey, and shared pictures. This was my first time using a sitter through Rover and I’m so glad I lucked out with Joanne. Her experience with pets was perfect for Hershey (and me lol) since he’s still a young puppy and used to being with me mostly. I will definitely work with her again!
Syd was absolutely wonderful. She was incredibly trustworthy, diligent, and conscientious, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in her care. She followed their instructions carefully, was attentive to the little details, and was consistently reliable and communicative. It gave me such peace of mind to know I could count on her, especially with one of my dogs needing a little extra care. I’m so grateful for how thoughtfully she looked after them and would recommend her without hesitation.
Anna and I count ourselves lucky to have worked with Abigail. She was amazing taking care of our little Sundae and communicative through out the entire time. We know now we have a phenomenal caretaker and will be using her services going forward. Recommend her highly.
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.
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 🤎🐾

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
