“Jessica was able to sit for us on short notice and took care of our fur babies during the holiday season. She was flexible, able to administer medicine and spent time playing with our cats to help de-stress them while we were away.”
“Bianca was excellent with my shy older cat. She made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care and, more importantly, made him feel comfortable (which is not easy)! I also really appreciated that around halfway through my trip she asked if there was anything she could do better or differently, which no other sitter has done before. Highly recommend and will definitely invite her to help with Knuckles again in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I live right here in Gaithersburg with my own dog — a Shiba Inu. If you know the breed, you know they're stubborn, independent, and definitely not for beginners. Caring for my Shiba every day has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read a dog's body language. I work from home, so I'm available when you need it most: midday weekday walks while you're at work. I treat every dog like my own — unhurried walks at your dog's pace, a fresh water check when we get back, and a photo update after every walk so you can see how it went. Big dogs, shy dogs, and strong pullers are all welcome — my Shiba trained me well. Looking forward to meeting your pup! i work fully remotely at home，so normally i have flexible time during lunch and afternoon after 5，let me know your requirement，other time open to discuss，normally no same day reservation, but if need, also can let me know, I will check my schedlue to help Safety comes first on every visit. I follow your instructions exactly — how to enter and lock up, alarm codes, and where your dog's leash, harness, and treats are kept. Before we head out, I double-check the collar and harness fit and the leash clip. Your dog stays leashed for the entire walk: I keep a secure grip and a safe distance from unknown dogs, and I always clean up after your dog. In wet or muddy weather, I wipe paws before we come back inside. Once home, I refresh the water bowl, make sure your dog is settled, and lock up carefully. You'll receive photo updates after every walk, and I'll flag anything unusual right away.
“Leticia was great! She took great care of Gypsy. Was punctual, took pictures of her and we got a report from all her visits. Highly recommend her for cat care. We will use her again for our next trip.”
About: I have been around animals all of my life. Growing up we had cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, hamsters, fish, lizards, and other animals. I have some experience with senior dogs as I have watched my parents 16 year old dachsund. I have pet sat for large and small dogs. I am usually the first contact from my friends to take care of their pets when they are away. I will always follow your instructions to make sure your pet does not have a gap in their schedule/care. I also have experience administering oral medication (liquid/pill) as well as ear medication and would be happy to provide that if needed. I would really love to meet your fur baby and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. A little about myself. I am a 37 year old male. I am fairly active and enjoy hiking, camping, rock climbing, and board games. I am originally from around Buffalo, NY and moved to Maryland in 2018 for work. I love Montgomery County and plan to stay here for a while. I am currently unemployed and looking to supplement my small income while doing something that I love. This would help keep me on my feet while I look for another job. I am always open to meet and greets if this is something that would make you more comfortable. My approach with new animals has always been to allow the pet time to adapt to a new person. I try to let the pets smell me and introduce themselves. I am patient and make sure to take introductions slow until I feel like we have been acquainted. I always ensure to be careful when opening doors and locking up the home. I am familiar with different pet harnesses and leads. When I have someone else's pet that I am less familiar with, I will make sure to keep them away from other animals and children unless specified by the owner. Last, I am familiar with food items that are dangerous to pets and make sure that those will never be an issue. I will never feed your pet anything that was not provided by you.
“We hired Isabella to watch our two Boston Terriers for the weekend. She went above and beyond what was required to care for our older dogs. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have lots of free time to care for dogs and cats. I’m an animal lover and would love to help you out whenever you need! My schedule is flexible and I am prepared to help in any way possible. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule. I have an older dog who doesn’t need too much round the clock care, allowing me time to help others. My dog is always well cared for in my home and outside of my home. He gets many walks per day and we spend lots of time outside. At a clients home, their pet will receive top notch care and my full attention. Additionally, I will be extremely respectful of my clients space and their specific wishes and directions.
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
“We had a great experience with Nezuko’s sitter and highly recommend them! They were reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the visit. Nezuko was well taken care of, happy, and comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the updates and photos were really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they look after.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. Friends of mine usually send their dogs to me when they are out of town. Friends can always rely on me. I’m currently work 3 days each week, and my wife is working from home. We have tons of time to take care of lovely dogs. I’m living in a single house with a huge fenced back yard and a safe community around. We only have a Samoyed to take care of right now.
About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals.

I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: As an only child, I always wanted a cat. When I was 4, we adopted my cat sister and the rest has been history. Throughout my life, cats have always been present.

I would love to come care for your fur babies as well Between my two boys and my two fur babies, we have a busy day full of love and play. Rocky and Rosie are always up with me for an early breakfast before I’m out the door. They always great me and their big brothers as we come home and love to play at night as we make dinner. They are the ultimate snuggle bugs at bedtime. I will work with you to establish a connection with companion to gain their trust. I love to know their routine, their likes and their dislikes. We will work together to make your home a safe environment while you’re away, in addition to safe surroundings (should you have a dog that needs a walk).
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs and have taken care of a total of 5, I’m very comfortable around them and always treat them as they’re family. Right now I take of two dogs, a golden retriever and a German shepherd. I feed, take them out and play with them everyday. Make sure they’re taken for there check ups and wash them weekly. I currently only work at my week job only 2-3 days a week so my availability is very open. I also have reliable transportation when needed. I’ll make sure to take them outside to play when needed to, feed them the dogs the right amount and on time. Last but not least, I will always make sure to leave the house cleaner than when I walked in.
About: Can’t promise any training but they’ll be loved and cared for under my care! Whether your dog may be dog aggressive or the most playful, I have experience with my own with different personalities. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule to do some drop ins and quick hang sessions/walks with your fur babies Mon-Fri.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Potomac
We booked Lindsay to look after our two cats while we were in Boston, and she was wonderful. She was on time for every visit and never rushed: she spent real time with them, not just a quick feed and go. After every visit she sent photos and the sweetest notes, cute and thoughtful, with little details about what each cat was up to. Those updates were the highlight of our trip photos, honestly. We came home to two calm, content cats. I would book Lindsay again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter who genuinely cares.
Brooke has been a Godsend to me and my fur baby, Henry. I’ve used her for all my cat sitting needs recently because she is so thoughtful, communicative and responsible. My cat is quite shy and has warmed to her - I recommend any nervous cats to be in her care. She also helped me out last minute due to a family emergency. She was very flexible and responsive, cleaned out my fridge and even brought over litter to help when I ran out. She is my favourite cat sitter 🤍
Jony is a great sitter— communicative, responsive, friendly, and professional. We’re grateful he was available on such short notice and that he cared for our cats like they were his own. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates that showed each cat’s personality.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Potomac is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 16,672 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Potomac. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Potomac. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
