“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 have always been an animal lover. I have cared for two wonderful dogs growing up, along with a family cat. Unfortunately, all have passed on after many loving years in my family. I currently keep several reptiles due to time constraints with my research career, but I look forward to when my life settles and I can adopt another dog. I am currently between research positions until October. I enjoy spending time with animals so much that I wanted to spend my summer working in animal care. Since I am between research positions, I have plenty of free time to spend with all kinds of animals. I used to care for two family dogs, one of whom was extremely energetic. I would spend a good amount of time outside on the weekends playing to tire out our family’s energetic dog. I am extremely active and frequently go for runs around the area and love spending time with dogs outside on either walks or in a backyard.
“Ashley was an absolute dream, and I know Minerva has taken to her in making her own little rituals with her. I look forward to them being reunited when I have to leave town again!”
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.
“Krystian is always great with our pet’s! They love the care and attention they receive when he comes to check in on them. I always get lots of pictures from the visits. They are always super happy which makes me happy.”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love animals. I’m highly responsible and always give lots of love and attention to the pets in my care. I work in the legal field and work from my home office Monday through Friday. I’m available during the week and some weekends. Your pet will always receive great care in my home. I have a private dog park at my condo that is rarely busy. Your pets can be crated or roam free in my home. They are also allowed to lounge on my large sectional.
“Astrid was fantastic with Nigel and the fish. She made the whole process easy with great communication throughout. Nigel really connected with her and she sent us lots of pictures of her visits. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I have been caring for all kinds of pets growing up and loved it ever since. I have experience caring for blind elderly cats, old dogs who need extra love, precious leopard geckos and everything in between. I care for any pet as if it was one my own 3 cats :). My schedule is very open because I am currently in between jobs, but I'll always make time for pet care if needed. Odd times or schedules are always welcome. I care for our cats in our house by making sure they're comfortable and have lots of enrichment to keep them occupied and entertained. Keeping things tidy so no kitty gets into something they're not supposed to get into is a habit I take everywhere.
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Helena, a lifelong dog lover and experienced owner of a large, high-energy dog. I know that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup enjoys a long walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs. I’m comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. You can count on me to treat your dog like one of my own. I’ll provide plenty of updates, photos, and reliable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available any day of the week. I know last minute needs happen so I am available same day if needed. Hope to see you soon! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep fresh water available, clean up after walks, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. I’ll also send photo updates and messages so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and will always use safe leash-handling practices.
About: We are a family of four (kids are 12 and 15), plus Nash our 6 year old Australian Shepard who loves walks and snuggles. Before Nash (and even before kids!), we had Riley, our sweet black lab who left us too soon. Over the years, we have fostered dogs, cared for our friends' dogs, given millions of belly rubs and logged many miles of dog walks around our lovely neighborhood. We'll provide a caring and friendly environment, a fenced in backyard and a built-in furry playmate! I have an irregular schedule, but work from home >50% of the time. Both kids loves dogs and can also help in the afternoons and on weekends. We'll provide pics of your pup playing and on walks. Your pup will have a fenced-in yard and run of the house to play and rest. We will follow whatever schedule they are used to, can have them play with our dog or provide separation if you prefer. While the kids may help, all pup care will be done 100% by me.
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
About: I am available weekends. I will make sure to take great care of all dogs when going on walks. I will also make sure to pay special attention to any details and information about the dogs. Whenever I am faced with certain situations, I will do my best to resolve all issues and take care of the problem. I also really enjoy helping others and helping out with taking care of dogs. I do not mind going on walks with multiple dogs so if someone has more than one dog that they would like to have go on a walk, I would be happy to take the other dogs on a walk as well. I will be reachable at all times by phone. I am available most weekends, as I work full time during the week. I also have a dog of my own and have cared for pets in the past. I would take care of a pet following the guidance at any clients home and maintain responsibility and will always be respectful of any home I am in.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Bethesda
Ashley was great with my cat and dog! My dog is very nervous and she took her time letting Tot warm up to her. Ashley accommodated a short notice booking which was amazing, and she was prompt, kept me updated and checked over everything I asked her to. I would highly recommend her!
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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Bethesda stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 .

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.

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.
