“Drew was AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet Lady. She’s 12 years old and needs extra care and attention, and Drew went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of during each visit. Communication was excellent, and the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable sitter!”
“We utilized Kevin’s services for the first time during my outpatient surgery for a drop in visit. He inspires trust, which is extremely important on a day like that. He followed all arrangements well & kept us apprised. We certainly hope to hire him again!”
“We have had many sitters for our cats over the years through Rover that have been great. After our normal sitter moved, we booked Vidya for a two week trip for check ins with our cat and her level of professionalism, kindness to our cats, attention to detail and thoroughness is above and beyond even the best sitters we’ve ever had. Her updates were both endearing and hilarious. She made so many observations on how our cats were behaving and adjustments to her care. We also had an issue with the lock on our door and she went above and beyond to get it sorted. I would give her 10 stars if there was such a thing”
“Sam was wonderful. We needed someone to take care of our dog on relatively short notice for a cross country trip for the holidays and Sam was not only able to come check on and walk her twice a day but when we unexpectedly needed Luna out of the house for a few days, Sam was able to bring her home as well. Really excellent caretaker, flexible, and we will absolutely keep Sam in mind for all future needs!”
About: Hello there! I'm Jenn, and I've been caring for dogs since about 2012. Many of my early experiences came from families my mom worked for while nannying and managing their households. While she kept everything running smoothly inside the home, I naturally gravitated toward spending time with the dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for many wonderful pups: • Koni (German Shepherd) – A loyal and gentle boy I cared for from adulthood through his senior years. Caring for him taught me patience and attentiveness when supporting older dogs. • Romeo (Golden Retriever) & Henry (Shih Tzu) – Two sweet pups from the same household who I helped care for from puppyhood. Looking after them taught me how to balance the needs of dogs with very different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. • Lacie (Medium-sized mixed breed) – A young adult dog who was the best of both worlds: very active and playful outside, but also a needy lap dog at home. She taught me how to balance exercise with affection and downtime. • Three German Shepherd–Black Lab mix puppies (3 weeks old) – Tiny foster puppies that required the same level of attention as a human baby. Caring for them gave me hands-on experience with very young dogs and early development. • Casper (English Golden Retriever) – The gentlest and sweetest boy, and definitely one of my favorites. He’s very affectionate and loves companionship, which reinforced how important routine, attention, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I’m experienced and happy to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I look forward to getting to know your furry friend and becoming their next buddy! I work in Bethesda, MD Monday through Friday, but I can take my break during the day to visit, feed, and walk your dog :) Depending on their temperament, there’s also the possibility of bringing your dog to my office! • Cozy office space: Bed, food, water, treats, and toys available • Safe travel: Fully equipped to transport dogs safely in my car • Nearby park: Perfect for extra walks and playtime during the day I’ll care for your dog through the evening, giving attention, cuddles, and play sessions after work :) On weekends, I dedicate my time to longer walks, games, and extra TLC. Even during the workweek, though, I take frequent breaks to give pets love, attention, and companionship so they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Your dog’s safety and well-being — both physical and mental — are my top priorities. Before I begin care, I like to meet you and your dog in person and do a walkthrough. Depending on the type of care, this may include: • Their temperament and typical routine • A walkthrough of your home • Food and medication schedules • Locations of necessary supplies • Your veterinarian’s contact information • Any other details specific to your dog’s needs I’ll also ask about your dog’s favorite ways to stay active, play, and feel comfortable. Every dog is unique, and understanding these details helps me provide care that keeps them happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated.
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.
“Amanda was amazing with our 7 month golden retriever puppy! I was traveling for work and needed someone to come by twice a day to take our pup out and we were really happy with Amanda. She was very communicative and we appreciated her updates after each visit.”
“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”
“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.”

Mary is absolutely wonderful! I know that my cat Athena is in the best hands when under her care. Mary is always responsive, provides thorough updates, and snaps adorable photos. She has a repeat customer here and I would absolutely recommend her to care for other’s pets!!
I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! Leaving Liam is always stressful, but Jennifer gave us total peace of mind from day one. She strictly followed his feeding routine and litter schedule, and sent us updates regularly. Professional, punctual, and a genuine cat person. We will definitely be booking them again!
Kayla took fabulous care of Laguna when I had to leave town unexpectedly. Laguna had never had anyone come to the apartment before and Kayla was not only willing but it's clear she took good care of my girl in the drop-ins because when I got home she was happy and looking behind me like she was looking for Kayla.
Karen did an excellent job taking care of Chester and Kate. She spent time brushing, petting and playing with them. We enjoyed seeing Karen's daily updates and photos. In addition to taking great care of our kitties, Karen took packages for us. Thank you for all of your great work and support! Job well done!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Chevy Chase is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 16,904 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
