“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!”
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.
“Working with Sharon Michelle has been wonderful so far! She is very communicative, professional, and most importantly so kind to my dog! She even brought him a birthday present!! Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
“Lingshan did a great job! All the pictures showed how happy my dogs were. She even took a picture showing me they were safely back in their crate. Seeing them all gave me great peace of mind.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Julianna did a great job checking on our cat for us! She was great at communicating how she was doing and patient with our cat that is a bit slow to warm up to strangers. I loved the pictures and could see my cat getting more comfortable with her throughout the visits! We would definitely recommend Julianna for cat sitting to others!”
“Ambar did a wonderful job taking care of our kitten Josie. She always provides a detailed report of how Josie is doing, which we really appreciate. Josie is very shy, but she loves playing with Ambar. We never worry about Josie when we have to go out of town because Ambar always does an amazing job. I highly recommend her!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Carolina. She is very responsive, reliable and loves animals. She is caring and a pleasure to interact with. She came to meet our 3 cats ahead of a one-week trip we had and our cats immediately connected with her from there on. We highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was amazing taking care of our cat while we were travelling for the holidays. She took great pictures and left detailed notes of each visit. Our cat is very shy and usually will not come out or eat until unfamiliar people are gone, but Melissa was able to get her to come out, eat, and even enjoy some petting! I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough.”
“If you scroll through Jenni’s reviews, you’ll see just how often we book with her! This is because she’s the best. She’s great at making sure our cat takes his meds and makes him feel loved and happy when we’re gone!! We get thorough updates and photos every time. Thanks, Jenni!”
“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.”
“I want to share my deep appreciation for Ashley taking very good care of my two cats while I was away for 17 days. She was so communicative and always kept me up to date. She has a lot of knowledge about animals and was very helpful when one of the cats was having trouble with anxiety and diarrhea while I was away. She also cleaned up several messes, which I hugely appreciated. I would trust Ashley to take care of my cats any time and definitely would like Ashley to be my regular cat sitter. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you!”
“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!”
“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.”

Melissa does a great job with our cats. You can see why she has earned her Star Sitter status on Rover. It is nice to have someone take such good cared of our cats, and to be so reliable, such that our cats are well taken care of, and we can have peace of mind while on vacation.
Abigail was amazing! I have four cats and needed 1 drop in visit each day for food/water/litter box. I really appreciated the recaps each day with pictures. It was a huge relief knowing my fur babies were in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be using her for future bookings.
Alexander did an amazing job checking in on our cat during a recent trip. Our cat is shy and can have accidents from anxiety when we’re away and Alexander handled it all with patience and respect. He got our girl to warm up to him with play and she was a very happy cat when we returned. I would definitely recommend his services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in North Bethesda on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,509 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
