About: As I have evolved, I've found connecting and caring for fur babies brings pure joy. I am here to support your journey with your loved pets. I'm a yoga instructor and teach only on Wednesdays. Im available other weekdays and weekends, anytime after 11am usually. Im able to adjust per requests. I would prefer to care for pets in client's home, where they can be most comfortable with all resources readily available. I'm available to take dogs for walks/day sit.
About: I have had many different dogs over the years and cared for more than one dog at a time, which makes me very comfortable in caring for your fur babies and understanding their many personalities. Also, I believe socialization is very important for all dogs so if you are comfortable, I am able to take them to a dog park (I have one near my home). This will allow them to create new friends and make their experience more enjoyable. Overall, I am trying to avoid getting another pet, so if you let me care for your fur baby I would heavily appreciate it :D As you can tell from my photos I treat all pets like they are a part of my family. Rest assured your baby and I will become best friends. I am a remote worker which allows me more time to care for your babies and a lot of flexibility. I believe this would be a mutually beneficial relationship as I'd be able to enjoy my day playing with dogs, while you won't be worried about taking your dog out. If you ever need to board your dog I am available on the weekends and if you need a house sitter because it would make your fur baby more comfortable I am flexible on those dates as well. I have a multitude of toys, treats, and puzzles to keep them engaged and happy. I also have a dog park which tends to not be busy which allows for running and fetch time in a safe environment.
“Christopher was great! He was so easy to work with and our dogs really loved being with him. We have three dogs and he didn’t bat an eye. He was never late and always sent video or pictures of them playing. We hired him for two weeks straight and he was very consistent. Super happy to have him for our dog care.”
“This is our second time using Mark and he is just fantastic! Our two cats are very comfortable with him and he gives great updates with lots of photos, always willing to go the extra mile without even asking, and just a really kind and reliable person overall. We look forward to continuing to use him in the future!”
“Aubree was great as always! I booked her for a more extensive period this time around and I can tell my cat Penelope was very happy and safe under her care. She was very flexible and communicative and provided plenty of detailed updates and photos of Penelope, which were much appreciated. Will definitely book again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Natalie! I’m a special needs teacher and currently pursuing my master’s at Loyola University Maryland. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and cared for many pups through sitting, walking, and administering medications. A few years ago, I lost my beloved pitbull, Dozer, and I still miss the companionship every day. Caring for other dogs has been the best way to keep that love alive. I’m patient, calm, and very comfortable with dogs who have anxiety or need a little extra support. Whether your pup needs long walks, structured routines, or just someone who will sit with them and make them feel safe, I’m here to help. I’d love to be part of your dog’s world. I work full‑time from 7:45–3:45, but my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are completely open for pet care. I’m also available for holidays. Whether your pup needs walks, drop‑ins, or extra companionship, I make sure their care fits smoothly into my routine so they always get consistent attention. I would treat my client's pets the same way I have treated mine and my family and friends. Making sure they get proper exercise, have gone to the bathroom, was fed, has clean water, etc. And last but not least a lot of fun and love!
“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.”
“Abigail took excellent care of our 2 Vizslas. She reliably arrived for each of the 3 visits per day, reported to me anything of concern, and provided daily photos of the dogs. My wife and I are very satisfied with Abigail handling of our dogs.”
“Rachel was so wonderful and saved me from having to cancel a trip. I had previously arranged care for my dog that fell through at the last minute. Rachel was more than happy to step in and helped me come up with an alternate plan so he would be well cared for while I was gone.”
About: I've been caring for my Labrador Pit Bull mix for the past six years, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure he stays happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Caring for an energetic, medium-to-large dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've house-sat for neighbors' cats and looked after family members' cats, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention while their owners were away. I've always been an animal person and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to provide patient, friendly, and reliable care so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping pets company. I understand the importance of sticking to a pet's regular routine and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. In your home, I'll respect your space, keep it clean, and follow all care instructions carefully. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.
“Astrid took care of our cat, Penny, for a week and we could not be happier with her service. Check ins/outs daily with pics. Penny is a very social cat and Astrid loved playing with her and making sure she was getting attention each day. We will definitely be using Astrid when we go on vacation in the future. Peace of mind! Thank you!”
About: Hi, my name is Tselmuun! I’m an accountant based in Rockville, where I live with my family and my cat, Noche. I work hybrid with office days in DC, so I have limited availability on Mondays/Fridays/weekends to care for your fur buddies 😊 My Pet Care Background: Growing up, my family had dogs, and after graduating college, I rescued Noche in November 2020. He’s been my best friend and a huge source of comfort, especially during the pandemic. Along with caring for Noche, I’ve also pet-sat for my friends, neighbors, and roommates when they were out of town or unavailable. I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us, and I promise to care for yours as if they were my own. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry friends!🐾 I currently work as an accountant with a hybrid schedule, which gives me availability on my remote days (Mondays and Fridays)! Though I have limited availability, I’m committed to caring for your precious animals as if they were my own. I live in a two-story house in a quiet, safe neighborhood, ideal for ensuring your pet's comfort and security. We have a beautiful lake and running trail nearby, perfect for walking your dogs and giving them some fresh air. My home also features a fenced yard, providing a secure space for playtime and outdoor relaxation. I take pride in maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment where your fur babies can feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
“I had never use pet service but we had just moved and all of a sudden needed help during the day to let our dogs out - Rachel was great - good with our elderly dogs, made sure she knew what they needed before she had her first appt with them, sent me photos when she arrived and let me know how visit went. I was so relieved. Thank you!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was in middle school for neighbors, families I nannied for, and friends. I have experience with kittens as well as senior dogs and everything in between. I currently work full-time, but have a very flexible in person versus remote schedule most weeks. I am able to decide which day I am where. I provide pets with the daily routines that they are accustomed to to make your time away from home as easy as possible for them.
“I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!”

Natalie is a wonderful and I’d highly recommend her for anyone with a puppy. She’s great with our 3 month old terrier mix. I’m pretty sure our puppy is more excited to see Natalie walk in than she is to see her own family members come home! Natalie’s also easy to communicate and schedule with and is very reliable. Five stars!
Ilana was fantastic.Ilana took excellent care of my dog Duke while I was out of town for three days. She was reliable, professional, and clearly cared about Duke’s well-being. She handled feeding and walking him twice a day, and giving his daily medication without any issues. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ilana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Danny was a God-send! He was super responsive, accommodating, conscientious, and responsible. He was also wonderful with our dog, Mojito, who looks out the door every afternoon as if waiting for Danny. 😃 I can't recommend Danny enough and will definitely be using him again.
Jefferson is fantastic! Very responsive and quite knowledgable about German Shepherds! Our puppy really enjoyed meeting him and we've subsequently booked him for recurring visits. He's even working with him on some puppy training, learning/reinforcing commands. I would highly recommend Jefferson for your pet care needs!

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.
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 North Bethesda 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
