“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!”

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 have a wonderful 6 year old Shiba Inu and have been caring for a wide variety of pets since my kids were very young. We currently also have a 15 year old hermit crab, a rabbit we keep in a separate room, and have previously cared for several fish, frogs, and 5 large Blue Swedish ducks. We frequently dog sit for our friends and neighbors. Someone will always be available to watch or play with the dogs due to remote work and flexibility. We are typically up early and start out with a walk. Once we are confident the dogs are getting along, we can let them out in the yard together; otherwise, we make sure to give each of them their private space. We provide water inside and out and change it often - your dog can have its own bowls. We typically feed our dog 2 x per day but can accommodate any variation for your dog. We also provide some doggie treats, if permitted. We have portable fencing should the dogs need to be separated inside or out. We have a fenced in yard and garden and a very well behaved Shiba Inu. Dogs will always get a good amount of attention and have plenty to do. They are allowed on the couch if it's alright with you, and we have a crate if needed. The location is very quiet with few cars.

About: I grew up with Rottweilers and started helping my dad care for our family dog from a young age, including as he got older. I also have a two-year-old dog of my own, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Altogether, I have around six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I recently moved from Sweden to Bethesda and currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving your dog the attention they need. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s normal routine, whether that means long walks and lots of exercise, shorter walks, playing with their favorite toys, or just keeping them company and giving them plenty of cuddles. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and house rules so your dog can feel as comfortable as possible. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs. My wife always jokes that dogs seem to come say hello to me before they greet her. If there’s a dog at a party, that’s usually where you’ll find me! I recently moved to Bethesda from Sweden and have a very flexible schedule as I’m settling into my new life here. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and different routines throughout the day. I live in an apartment in Bethesda and have plenty of great areas nearby for both long and short walks. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any house rules you have. I’ll also make sure you receive regular updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.

“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.”

“Khadija is amazing! Given the pandemic, I had to book a sitter for my trip without meeting them beforehand, as my previous sitter was not available. Despite this, Khadija was consistently responsive during the booking phase and throughout the stay. My cat Rory was super happy and calm when I returned after 8 days and it was clear that he was looked after from Khadija's regular updates. Will be super happy to request Khadija to care for and play with Rory in the future. THANK YOU!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines. I am also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication administration, extra patience, or special accommodations to keep them comfortable and safe. My goal is not only to meet a pet's basic needs but to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their family is away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and I'm the kind of sitter who genuinely enjoys building a bond with the pets I care for. Whether it's helping a puppy burn off energy and stay on schedule or giving a senior pet the extra patience and comfort they deserve, I tailor my care to each animal's unique needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pet parents should never have to wonder how their furry family member is doing, so I provide frequent updates and photos. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I love animals and enjoy the companionship they bring. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand how important routines are, so I work hard to keep pets comfortable and on their normal schedule. Whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra activity or a senior pet who needs a little more patience and care, I'm happy to adjust my routine to meet their needs and make them feel loved and secure. 🐶🐱💕 What sets you apart from other sitters? Be sure to include any special skills like training puppies or senior care. I want to respond in the best way. If this is for a pet-sitting profile, you want to highlight reliability, communication, and any special care you provide. Here's a strong response you can personalize: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving a beloved pet with someone else requires trust, so I make communication a priority by providing regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies who require consistency, supervision, and reinforcement of basic training routines. I am also comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication administration, extra patience, or special accommodations to keep them comfortable and safe. My goal is not only to meet a pet's basic needs but to make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their family is away.

My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. ❤️🐾 How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? Here's a professional yet personable response: Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, administering medications, or evening check-ins, I am committed to maintaining the routine your pet is accustomed to. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I make reliability a priority. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, which makes walks and exercise an enjoyable part of my day. Caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. 🐾❤️ For a more warm and personal approach: Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I love animals and enjoy the companionship they bring.

Whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra activity or a senior pet who needs a little more patience and care, I'm happy to adjust my routine to meet their needs and make them feel loved and secure. 🐶🐱💕 How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and bedtime routines. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's environment and the owner's instructions. I know pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their routine while providing companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and enrichment. I make sure they have opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special requirements so they receive personalized care and feel like part of the family while they're with me. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship.

I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

Michael is my favorite pet-sitter that I've hired on Rover. From the very first meet and greet, Michael impressed me as warm, thorough, and completely focused on task. His wonderfully detailed notes on the visits with my girls warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. He went the extra mile to get my skittish Pixie-cat to warm up and play, and documented their play thoroughly. I would recommend him to anyone and happily and enthusiastically hire him to care for my babies in the future.

Highly recommend! Quantairra was flexible with my last-minute booking and provided updates after each visit. My scaredy cat, who normally hides under my bed whenever new people come over, actually came out on the first day, let Quantairra pet her and engaged in some playtime. Honestly, that alone deserves 5 stars!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Chevy Chase

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chevy Chase is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 17,013 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chevy Chase. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chevy Chase. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 .

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.
