“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.”
About: I provide calm, structured in-home pet care for households that value reliability, consistency, and a peaceful environment for their pets. With a professional background in high-responsibility roles, I bring a high level of discretion, attention to detail, and dependability into every home I care for. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine consistent and your home running smoothly while you’re away. I specialize in overnight house sitting and structured care for pets who thrive in familiar environments. Care includes feeding, walks, companionship, routine updates, and maintaining a clean, secure home environment. I am attentive without being intrusive, and I provide clear, thoughtful updates so you can travel with confidence knowing everything is handled. I work best with clients who value calm, organized care and clear communication. I take a limited number of bookings to ensure each household receives focused, high-quality attention. Rates reflect the level of care, consistency, and professionalism provided. I offer flexible availability that can accommodate early mornings and evening drop-ins. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific routine, whether that’s consistent feeding times, daily walks, or medication schedules. Ideal for professionals, frequent travelers, and households that value dependable, respectful care. I’ll make sure your pet’s day stays on track and stress-free, keeping their normal rhythm while you’re away. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I maintain a calm, secure environment and pay close attention to details like locked gates, leash checks, and hydration during walks. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort levels so that every interaction feels safe and positive. I’m also comfortable following special care instructions for pets with medical or behavioral needs, including anxious, anxiety, nervousness, skittishness, and reactivity, including dogs who may seem aggressive at first but are simply scared or unsure. You can count on me for honesty, communication, and dependable care, every single visit. For house sitting stays, I kindly ask that the guest bedroom and bathroom be clean and ready for my arrival, fresh linens, tidy surfaces, and clear space. This helps me provide the best care for your pet throughout the stay.
“Maya is awesome! We needed a sitter in a pinch and she made an effort to fit in a meet and greet right away. She followed directions perfectly with our cat and was super responsive and easy to communicate with! Will def book again. Thanks, Maya!”
“Christina is GREAT. She took great care of our senior dog. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!! She handled his strict medication and diet plan perfectly, and everything was done exactly as instructed!! It’s clear that Christina is a true dog person: patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 5 years, and I love giving my attention to dogs and cats! I’m easy-going and would love to chat with you about how to best meet your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I understand our pets are just like our children so they should be treated with the same love & care. I can give them medicine as needed or watch out for any concerns you might have. If I watch your animal for an extended period of time, I will send you pictures and updates too! I work in person from 9-5pm daily in Silver Spring but I’m more than happy to take care of your pets before and after though. On weekends, I like to explore the DMV area as much as possible, but I will always make sure your pet’s needs are taken care of first. I always take care of the pets I’m watching before I start work for the day. Every pet is different so there’s not a one size fits all description, but I will make sure your pet is well-loved in your absence.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid. It all started with walking an older neighbor's dog, Hawk. At the time, I just thought it was nice that my neighbor trusted me to walk and play with him. Looking back, I realize that arrangement was mutually beneficial and served as my introduction to dog care. Since then, I've become the go-to person for family and friends to watch their pets, especially dogs. Most recently, I had the pleasure of caring for my great furphew while my niece settled into college life. I plan to adopt a puppy or dog one day. I'm just waiting until I'm sure I'm ready for the commitment. Until then, I'm happy to be a pup aunt! My availability recently changed. I'm generally available on weekends in the morning and afternoon. I try to keep my calendar updated, but will respond quickly if I'm unavailable for a request. I'm not able to provide care in my apartment, but I'm willing to drop in at your home and play for a bit, refill food and water, or let your dog out to explore and potty. Just let me know what you need, and I'll let you know if I can help.
“Kelly dropped in to check on our two large senior dogs and did a great job. She was responsive, careful to follow the instructions, and beforehand asked good questions to get to know their routines and needs. The dogs seemed to take to her very quickly too. Thank you!”
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
About: With a lifetime of furloving experience, I offer peace of mind for your pets and your home. I specialize in puppy, elder, and epilepsy care and epilepsy. Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Potomac families count on me for reliable house sitting, engaging dog walks, and attentive drop-in visits. I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal care, behavior, as well as house management and security. Pet care is my top priority and dictates my schedule. For first time stays, please notify me of any special requests to ensure a smooth transition. My routine follows your pets feeding and walk times, often incorporating extra strolls and potty breaks throughout the day. For overnight stay requests, separate guest room accommodations are required. Upon arrival, your home should have empty garbage and recycling bins, stocked with bathroom and kitchen essentials (ie: hand soap, paper towels), an empty kitchen sink, and no perishable foods that will expire during the stay.
“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 ❤️”
About: I’ve trained and taken care of dogs since I was 15(now 32). Have experience with puppy and senior as well as medical needs. Apollo is my 2.5 year old lab who is incredibly friendly to people and animals. Great walking partner! Please let me know if your dog is not good with other dogs. I currently work full time remotely. I’m mostly available on the weekends and week days after 4pm but can sneak out for lunch visits and walks. With experience and genuine care, I offer a safe, structured, and dependable environment where your pets can relax, play, and feel completely at home as well as a great play partner with Apollo.
“We have used Tamara twice and she always takes great care of our kitty. She is very communicative (even if she is running a few minutes late) and sends photos to show our kitty is doing okay despite we are away. We look forward to using her again!”
“Shakuntala is such a joy to work with! Our puppy Ares adores her and looks forward to their time together each day! She is informative, kind, and loving to Ares. She takes the best photos too which is so great to see when we are away at work :) I would HIGHLY recommend her to take care of anyone’s pets as she picks up on their routines so quickly and makes sure that both the owners and pet are happy at all times! We are so thankful to have met Shakuntala and can’t wait to see all the great times and memories she will be making with Ares.”
About: I love dogs. All sizes but I have a soft spot for small dogs. I'm the type that like to do long walks and go to doggie parks. Im currently working full time but I know some people work late nights and their puppies need some loving and affection while they are gone. Im that person to give it. Im free from 5:30 to 9pm. Monday through Friday and 10am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday I know how hard it is to trust someone with your baby (I see all pets as babies) so I take this responsibility very serious. I want you to know how caring and responsible and understanding of the importance of taking care of your puppy. I have some puppy toys and a crate for certain times of the day. Doggy parks are a must as well. Plus im very energetic and love playing
About: We go all throughout the DMV! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. We provide attentive care, daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of love and companionship. I am committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a team (my family) that helps me! I also work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply some companionship, I can accommodate their routine and provide regular updates while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to be available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. In your home, I will respect your pet’s established schedule and environment while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of animals in my home my whole life, from large dogs to guinea pigs! I have experience taking care of animals with various medical issues, anxious dogs, senior animals, and i’ve volunteered at local animal shelters. No animal too big or small! I’m currently working full time, but I am able to stay overnight and check in on your pet anytime after 3pm. I am available at any time during weekends as well. I take the safety of your animal very seriously. I ask you to please let me know if your animal has any special needs, issues with other animals, anxiety, etc. so that I can provide them with the best and most informed care possible.
About: My passion is making sure pets are cared for to the utmost quality. My pet sitting journey started by walking my neighbors dogs when I was just 12 years old and continued dog walking/pet sitting for family members/friends/clients until graduating college. My pet sitting has grown over the years and I definitely have grown more in love with it. I have a lot of cat sitting experience as well and have always cared for my grandma’s cats when she needs the extra help. I’m currently only pet sitting part-time. I am available after 5pm Monday to Thursday and after 12pm on Fridays. I’m available all weekends. This can be variable as I will also have days off from work which will allow me to have more availability. I live in a spacious 700 sq ft studio by myself. I also don’t have any pets that live with me. I live in a very dog friendly community with a dog park and large fields of grass perfect for off-leash time. I do also have large windows perfect for bird watching for my meow-er companions :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chevy Chase
Karen was excellent! Highly recommend. She dropped in to care for my dog during the workday over the course of two weeks while my husband was away on a trip. My dog adored Karen. She was very responsive and took excellent care of him. I would definitely rebook with Karen.
Yuki provided the highest quality of care to our lovely puppy. Although she can still be a stubborn puppy at times, Yuki was patient with her and gave our pup the best time ever! Yuki also went out of her way to provide extra treats and gifts for Luna knowing that it would help Luna in the long run. 100% found my go to dog sitter for the coming future.
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Chevy Chase is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
