About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.
“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 🤎🐾”
“Lo did a great job taking care of our geriatric zoo - above and beyond in a snow storm, 3 different medication regimens, and ensuring our fur babies were happy and well cared for.”
About: i've been around dogs and cats my entire life — we're talking 20+ years of walks, belly rubs, and figuring out which cat wants attention and which one wants to be left alone. I'm the person friends and neighbors call when they go out of town because they know their pets are in good hands. I keep things simple: stick to your pet's routine, keep them active and happy, and send you updates so you're not worrying. Big dogs, tiny dogs, bossy cats — I'm good with all of them. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Your pet will always be in good hands when they are being watched by me :) I'm in a condo so it's nice and chill — no crazy noise, just a cozy spot where your pet can relax and hang out with me. Great for dogs and cats who like a mellow vibe. There's good walking areas nearby so your dog won't be cooped up all day. And if I'm coming to your place, I'll keep everything buttoned up and stick to whatever routine you've got going
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.
“Teffni did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Ollie, daily updates shared happy playtime & loving scratches during her visits. She even indulged him with his balcony time (mid winter in DC) and his secret love of drinking from the bathroom sink ! My apartment was well looked after and pet items kept neat and well stocked for his needs. Thank you so much for loving him in my absence!”
“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”
“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!”
“Bianca really helped us out at the last minute with checking on our cat Brisa while we were gone for a few days. She was able to take up the info we left quickly and without any preceding intro visit. We really appreciate the attention she paid to Brisa and making sure to send great updates. We would hire her again without a second thought!”
“Nicole took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend and hope to work with her again next time I'm away!”
“Drew did an excellent job caring for our corgi over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated his willingness to do a meet and greet in advance. He was polite, professional, friendly and communicative. All of our directions were followed to the letter and we came home to a tidy space and a happy dog :)”
“Vidya was attentive, communicative, and so engaged with my cat! I never worried about how he was doing as I knew he was well-cared for. As a generally anxious person, I felt so secure knowing Vidya was with my cat. Would schedule again!”

Daria was amazing with our cats! They're often very skittish and shy, but Daria's care and patience won them over quickly. She's a very thorough and reliable sitter, making sure the kitties got lots of love and attention, giving detailed reports of her visits, and sending lots of pictures. Would highly recommend!
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.
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
Katherine was a kind and thoughtful sitter and I highly recommend her. I had a family emergency that required be to leave town quickly and Katherine accommodated the fast request and took great care of my two babies. She followed my directions for their care and went the extra mile to ensure that they felt loved and cared for while I was away.
Abigail, a 4th grade school teacher, was a wonderful pet sitter! She was diligent, reliable, and caring. She spent extra time with our cat Teddy, and emptied the trash before we came home. Teddy was clearly well taken care of, and I never worried about him. Thank you, Abigail!!
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 🤎🐾
Edgar was fantastic! He took great care of Bagel and Badger while we were away and kept us updated with photos and notes after each visit. He clearly spent quality time with them and provided lots of attention and enrichment rather than simply stopping by to take care of the basics. The cats really enjoyed him and were clearly comfortable and happy in his care. Edgar was reliable, communicative, and attentive, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!
We booked Quantairra pretty last minute before a trip. She came the next day to meet us and our cat, Cash. She was attentive and we felt good about leaving Cash in her hands! Quantairra sent us photos and a helpful report in each Rover report, which we really appreciated, and Cash was doing great when we got back. She also cleaned up a couple messes for us which we really appreciate. Thanks Quantairra!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Chevy Chase on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 17,280 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Chevy Chase. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
