“Apprehension and worry runs very high when you are giving keys to your home to a total stranger and asking them to take care of your family members. Communicating with Sophia put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, but she also went above and beyond by tending to my outside animal visitors Throughout her visits, Sophia maintained clear communication, updating me regularly on how everything was going. Knowing that my pets were in such capable hands allowed me to enjoy my time away. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her attention to detail and caring nature makes her a standout choice for anyone looking to entrust their beloved pets to someone who truly cares.”

“Julianna was wonderful with Wilbur! Our dog needs special care, as he is epileptic, and we certainly felt comfortable leaving him in Julianna’s care :) grateful to have found someone we could count on to come and check on our pup!”

“Nuha was super easy to work with. She got along immediately with my cats, follows directions, and responded quickly. She was very thorough in cleaning the litter box and found time to play with my cats and take pictures. I would have no hesitation recommending her to take care of your pet”

“Jacqueline watched our two cats with daily drop in visits. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned, and the apartment was well taken care of. She is quick to respond, a good communicator, and responsible. We recommend Jacqueline as a cat sitter!”

“This was my first time hiring a sitter, and Anna came through with flying colors! She came right on time, took extra care with my diabetic kitty, and kept me up to date. I'm so grateful!”

“Our cat always has a great time with Aubree! We were so glad to learn Aubree was available to do drop in visits while we were away. Holo was in good hands while we were gone and Aubree sent us lots of pictures and updates. Thanks so much!”

“It is pleasure working with Lingshan. She is punctual, responds promptly, keeps me updated of the visits and is very reliable. I also appreciated extra time that she spent with my Golden. She is of great help when I am away at work.”

“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!”

“Thank you Carolina for taking such good care of our baby! Winnie struggles with eating and Carolina made sure to encourage her to eat and provide her with lots of snuggles and play time.”

“5 stars!!! I am beyond grateful for the care Melissa gave my two cats, Rey and London. From the very first intro visit, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and loving she is with animals. My cats are my babies, and leaving them is never easy, but she made the entire experience feel safe, calm, and reassuring. One of my cats needs daily inhaler medication, which can be stressful for both cat and sitter, and she handled it with so much patience, gentleness, and confidence. Rey also needs to get a special diet and a miralax for constipation mixed in, all of which were administered exactly as prescribed by Melissa. Knowing Rey was in such caring hands truly meant everything to me. London is a very shy cat and doesn’t trust most humans easily, so I was especially touched by how quickly he warmed up to her. It took only a couple of visits for him to feel fully comfortable around her, which says so much about her calm, respectful, and intuitive approach with animals. Melissa was incredibly reliable and thoughtful, and her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell she wasn’t just “checking in”... She was truly caring for them! I came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved cats, and that speaks volumes. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same love and care you would, look no further. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again, and I feel so lucky to have found someone I trust this much with Rey and London.”

“Ariana was a wonderful cat sitter. She watched our two cats during the first time we were away from them, and they were very well taken care of. She followed our instructions and preferences and sent great updates and pictures.”

“Rachel has been helping us take care of our two sweet, energetic doggos! They have big personalities and she has been excellent adapting to their needs and routines. She always sends pictures and videos of them playing and by the end of her visits they are all tuckered out from the fun. She’s also enthusiastic and easy to communicate with, which has made this a great experience for us humans. Definitely recommend her services!”

“Lin did an amazing job looking after our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She quickly got our super shy cat to come out of hiding and play with toys. We got great daily photos of the cats. We will definitely have Lin cat sit again.”

“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!”


“Jason was wonderful!! Our first time with him and we are very happy! He made friends with our babies in no time, and had a lot of patience with the shy ones ? Thanks Jason for this great experience!”

“Xin was amazing with our shy cats. They sometimes won’t come out when they meet new people, but they were very comfortable with Xin. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be booking again.”

About: With over 30 years of experience, I have spent a lot of time with large dog breeds. I grew up with German Shepherds and shepherd mixes, and currently have a 65-pound female German Shepherd. My past electrical contracting business required me to be trusted in customers' homes, which is why I can guarantee your peace of mind. You can always count on me to be reliable and put the safety of your pet and home first. I'm here to give your family pet the care they need, whether it's a good long walk for exercise or a game of fetch to burn off some energy. My services also include drop-in visits for feeding and giving medication. If you ever need it, I can even provide pet transportation to get your furry friend where they need to go. I also have experience with backyard chickens if your coop needs an egg sweep. I'm semi-retired and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility! I'm an early riser and can do morning walks, as well as appointments during the day and early evening. Check my schedule for exact times As a former contracting business owner, I have extensive experience providing personalized, in-home service to customers. After successfully selling the business to my employees, I'm now focusing on new adventures.
North Bethesda pet parents share their Rover experiences
Astrid is the best. My cats adore her and it's always great to know they're in safe hands when I travel. I've been able to rely on her for several years now to look in on my cats while I travel, and I'll continue to request her as long as she's interested! She really is fantastic.

Robyn did dropins for our cat while we were away for the holidays. Before the booking started our cat had to go on a new medication and Robyn was great at trying different things to get her to take her medicine. Robyn was very communicative and we came home to a happy cat.
This is our second time with Aubree. Our cats always seem excited for her to arrive. She’s fabulous at communicating with us about how they are doing and spends lots of time playing with our cats and making sure they are well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking her again.

Melissa was an absolute godsend. Our cats are extremely shy, yet Melissa took extra TLC to ensure they were fed, played with, and comfortable during our two week trip out of the country. I would not hesitate to book with Melissa again for our catsitting needs.

If I could give Tsaitami 10 stars I would! I was very nervous to leave my cats alone, especially because they're nervous around new people, but Tsaitami had them eating out of the palm of her hand, loving on her immediately! Tsaitami clearly knows animals, and by the way my shy girls took right to her shows she has a calm, loving, gentle demeanor. I received many updates and photos, all of which showed my cats happy and calm, giving me peace of mind when I am away. Should i ever need a pet sitter in the future, I will certainly be re-booking with Tsaitami, and highly recommend others do the same. Thanks for everything, Tsaitami!

We and our cats love having Natalie check in on them when we’re out of town. Natalie has looked after them 4 or 5 times now, and the cats and house always seem to be well taken care of when we get home. Natalie always spends time playing with them, including on holidays when we’ve been away, and she sends a bunch of great pictures after every visit to the house.

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!

Breawna is great! She communicates promptly and is very reliable. When a mirror unexpectedly fell, she let us know right away that our cat was okay and even helped clean everything up. It was incredibly reassuring to have her there, and we truly appreciate her care for our cat!
