“Melissa was wonderful- kind, responsive, and most importantly, the pups loved her. She was very thoughtful in asking all the right questions in our meeting and I very much trusted her taking care of my two older dogs. I will definitely use her as much as needed and strongly recommend her! Thank you Melissa for your kindness and professionalism.”
“Lingshan is a fantastic choice for your pet, and peace of mind. She’s very thorough and cares greatly about her caregiving, she’s very responsive and flexible! Churro always responds well to her. Thank you Lingshan!”
“Julianna was great! She was very communicative and responsive when I had questions about my cat. I got lots of photos and my pet seemed very content - would definitely rebook with Julianna!”
“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Incredibly kind, compassionate and professional pet sitter. Natalie cared for our five kitty crew while away and not only provided them each with great care and attention, but she was always wonderfully communicative, followed instructions exactly and wanted to be sure everything was handled as we'd hope. She even cleaned up the extra messes our elderly cat made. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Nicole always does such a wonderful job caring for our dog. I especially like her comments to us on Rover that truly shows she understands the personality of our stubborn, quirky yet lovable dog. It makes me feel secure knowing Nicole is looking after her while we travel.”
“Khadija is amazing! Given the pandemic, I had to book a sitter for my trip without meeting them beforehand, as my previous sitter was not available. Despite this, Khadija was consistently responsive during the booking phase and throughout the stay. My cat Rory was super happy and calm when I returned after 8 days and it was clear that he was looked after from Khadija's regular updates. Will be super happy to request Khadija to care for and play with Rory in the future. THANK YOU!”
About: My family had a golden retriever when I was younger and I have been an animal lover ever since! I have experience with walking dogs and daily check ins as well as overnight stays. I am a big believer in knowing your animals will be left in a loving and engaging environment. I do have experience in administering medications as well, and have worked with a range of puppies to older dogs. Most of my professional experience is with dogs, chickens, and bunnies but I do have a special place in my heart for other animals and especially cats since I have one of my own :) I love to play with any dog I meet so getting to share some love with yours would be the highlight of my day!
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with dogs and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to owning dogs, I've also fostered cats, which has given me experience helping animals adjust to new environments and providing patient, attentive care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work with each client’s schedule to make sure their pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s individual needs and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if provided), and any special preferences. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and positive attention so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would give my own.
“Xin was great! My cats are usually shy around strangers but they came out to greet her. She also went above and beyond what I asked her to do. I will definitely book her again!”
“Courtney and Lily were wonderful hosts for Tuley and were even able to accommodate our last minute request. I can’t say enough great things about Courtney - she’s kind, caring and treats my dog as if she were her own. She’s also flexible so pick up and drop offs are super easy. I can’t recommend her enough. And I say that as someone with a dog that can be reserved around new people and dogs. While Tuley has met Courtney before and absolutely loves her, this was her first time meeting Lily. Tuley was a bit unsure of Lily’s puppy energy at first, but Tuley warmed up to Lily pretty quickly. I know they had a blast at the dog park and playing all weekend long, because Tuley fell asleep as soon as we got home. I’ll definitely be sending Tuley to Courtney’s next time we travel.”
“Marianna was an absolute angel. Not only did she take on my booking super last-minute (seriously, a life saver!!), but she gave my fur babies all the love and attention that they could ask for! My Ariel is a diabetic, and Marianna was able to administer her injections with zero issues, keeping my sweet girl happy and healthy while we were away. 💚 She even managed to befriend my VERY shy boy Rugen, in very little time! Honestly, a magical feat by itself. On behalf of my both kitties and myself, we highly recommend Marianna as a sitter. 10/10 would definitely book with her again! 🐱😻”
About: I've cared for three pets since 2018, all hyper Boston Terriers, and I understand dogs with temperament and behavior issues. I love all animals (but dogs are my favorite). Current and future availability is extensive. I'm taking a year off from school and working to earn money. I have no plans to travel and will be available 7 days a week. I regularly walk, feed and play with my Boston Terrier. And, of course, his safety is the upmost importance to me. He's my companion and greatest friend.
“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 ❤️”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in North Bethesda is $20

Ashley was wonderful and took great care of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She was able to successfully administer medication and accommodate a slightly complex feeding schedule. Her updates were really funny and I looked forward to reading them!
So impressed! I highly recommend Evelyn and Rover. This was my first time using Rover and I was quite cautious. Evelyn allayed all concerns. She came to meet the cats a couple days before I left and they both loved her. She asked poignant questions and made sure she was clear on all my requests. Every day I got pictures of them playing and was able to see when she checked in and when she checked out. She was super responsive before leaving and during my trip. While I was gone there was a water outage in my building that she handled beautifully (including bringing bottled water for the cats.). A+ to Evelyn! I highly recommend her and will be asking for her on future trips. So pleased with the whole Rover experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Yuandi. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very experienced with cats. From the photos and videos she shared, I could tell that my cat felt completely comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Yuandi again in the future and would highly recommend her to other cat owners.
Melody did a wonderful job with our cat Isabel for a week while we were gone! Even though Isabel was a little suspicious at first, Melody was patient with her and won her over. Melody was also super professional, communicative, and responsive throughout our entire booking. We'll definitely keep her in mind for future cat-sitting needs, and we'd highly recommend her to others!
I've only ever used friends and family to watch my pets so was a little nervous about the idea of booking a stranger but Jana was so wonderful, put me right at ease, and set the bar so high for pet sitters! Right away I knew she was going to be a fantastic sitter. She was quick with her responses, prompt with her check ins and photos and clearly loves animals. My cat was so well taken care of while I was gone and I'm looking forward to continuing using Jana's services!
Judson is the best catsitter we’ve had. He’s attentive, caring, and consistent. He gets on the floor with the cats and interacts with them and plays with their toys. Our cats are a bit spastic and weird about strangers but they warmed up to Judson quickly which is always a great sign. He sent us multiple pictures every day of the cats along with a note about how they were doing. Choosing a random person on an app is nerve wracking and stressful because you’re putting all your trust in them to not only take care of your animals but also be in your home. Judson is trustworthy and respectful, but he also has a great sense of humor! I would recommend him again and again.
Alisyah is really great at communicating key pick up and giving detailed updates every day! I always received multiple photos of my cats and images to confirm feeding etc. My cats liked her almost immediately and were very well taken care of. I didn’t worry about them the whole trip!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 North Bethesda. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
