“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle for six days. It was our first time leaving him with a pet sitter, so we were quite nervous. From the moment we met Diana, her warm, friendly and caring personality immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos, videos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she cared for our dog as if he were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Diana was warm and kind even before I made the booking—she explained everything clearly and her gentle tone made me feel instantly at ease. On the day I dropped Brownie off, she welcomed us into her home, showed me around, and gave Brownie the chance to meet her dog. It was lovely to see how they slowly got to know each other. The environment was clean, calm, and very comfortable, which gave me peace of mind to leave Brownie in her care. While I was away on my trip, Diana sent short updates and photos everyday— just enough to reassure me that Brownie was doing well and enjoying her time. I felt completely at ease thanks to her thoughtful messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your small dog, I highly recommend Diana!”
“Gingers stay with Adva and her family was great! We received pictures frequently and they were flexible about changing pick up and drop off times. Their yard was perfect and I know ginger felt right at home with them. Would highly recommend this house for your pet and definitely hope to have ginger stay with them again in the future! ”
“Cal & Kelly T did an excellent job taking care of my dog Jenna! Jenna is a timid small dog; she is a rescue who is nervous in new situations. They calmed her apprehensions and made her feel at home. They gave her belly rubs and petted her all the time. I particularly liked the many photos and videos they provided. When I picked her up she was happy and healthy. I will use them again and am recommending their services to others.”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“Arianna was fantastic with our dog! She took great care of him, made sure he got regular walks, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our vacation. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. Reliable, communicative, and attentive—highly recommend!”
“Eric kept me apprised of my puppy, Penny, throughout her stay. She appeared to be comfortable and happy. Upon her return home she seemed her usual self assuring me that she was happy with Eric as well.”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”
“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”
“My baby came home healthier and happier than with any past sitter. She’s also exhausted! Evidence of how much love and attention she got from Meri. Thank you Meri for taking such great care of Billie and for the excellent communication!”
“Bryn took such wonderful care of Leo over the weekend—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leo had an amazing time with her and absolutely loved spending time with her dog, Kepler. It was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. In fact, Leo enjoyed his stay so much that he didn’t even want to come back home! That says everything about how great Bryn is. If there were more than 5 stars, we would gladly give them to her. We will 100% be booking with Bryn again in the future. She is truly the best on the entire Rover website!”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”

This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter, and I was very nervous. Diana kindly put me at ease and sent photos (and video!) of my puppy throughout his stay with her and her adorable family. My puppy came back to me clean, smelling fresh, and (most importantly to me) with his temperament unchanged. Highly recommended!
Jason, and his wife, treated our dogs as family. That was the best part for my wife and I as we could tell that our girls were being treated with love and care. Their home is set up well for dogs and Honey feel in love with one of their dog beds (it's a Casper) and several of the pictures Jason shared showed her hard asleep on the bed. Fozzy loves her frisbee time so we brought one and Jason entertained her, and exhausted her, daily with play time. Again, we got pictures of Fozzy with the frisbee in her mouth and what looked like a smile on her face. Highly recommend Jason and we will definitely be booking with him in the future.
This was our first time leaving our dog with Shuli. She was great! She kept us up to date on how he was doing during his stay with texts videos and photos throughout. He got generous walks and even enjoyed the company of another visiting dog. We will definitely be using Shuli in the future.
Nicole was so wonderful with our dog who we left with her for the weekend. She was very communicative with lots of great photos and made sure our dog had a great time! We highly recommend Nicole and will be very happy to trust her with watching our dog again in the future!
Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is no easy task, but Milad proved to be an absolute godsend. Leaving our two-year-old Bernedoodle, Boukia, for a full month while dealing with intense travel was daunting, but Milad made the entire experience seamless and worry-free. Boukia is our high-energy baby pup with a big personality (and a serious habit of trying to mouth and chew everything in sight!), but Milad handled her energy with so much patience, love, and structure. He went above and beyond to keep her mentally engaged and spoiled—stocking up on her favorite chews, puzzle toys, and playing endless games of tug-of-war/fetch. He even took the time to learn and reinforce her Greek commands keeping her training sharp throughout the stay. From daily updates about their hiking/tennis court/garden adventures to their outing at the scenic Glenview Mansion in Rockville, it was clear Boukia wasn't just being looked after—she was truly loved and living her best life. When flight delays unexpectedly extended our trip by five days, Milad didn't hesitate for a second to accommodate us and keep Boukia safe and happy. Milad is a master caregiver and an incredible communicator. While many sitters use the phrase 'treated like family,' Milad actually sets the standard. The constant stream of video updates and the way he connected with Boukia gave us total peace of mind—it truly felt like our own love was surrounding her while we were away, and it feels as though that kind of care is exceptionally rare to find. Without a shadow of a doubt, we recommend Milad to anyone!
Karen is a fabulous dog sitter. Our labradoodle had his first stay for five nights with Karen and her family and he did so well! Karen gave lots of walk, play time in the fenced yard and he just seemed to be very happy being in a comfortable, loving home environment. She sent great photos and communicated just the right amount! We will absolutely be rebooking and we are so glad to have found Karen.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in North Bethesda is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $68 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 7,958 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in North Bethesda can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Bethesda home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your North Bethesda.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your North Bethesda sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
