About: I am a very friendly and caring 32 year old pet sitter/walker. I grew up with dogs/cats and I always considered them to be part of my family. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for many years and have excellent references upon request. I have 2 fur babies a golden doodle and a Lhasa Apso who are my life. Throughout my experience I have also been able to rescue abandoned cats and find loving homes for them. I currently reside in North Bethesda and I'm available for your pet sitting/walking needs. I'm also available on a short notice. Let me know if you would like to chat more about the services I offer. I look forward in hearing from you. Thank you!
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. We have a senior dog who requires a lot of care and we had no worries what so ever while we were away with all the updates and pictures of her visits. I would highly recommend Rachel for all your pet care needs!”
“Jane did an excellent job taking care of my cat, brought in a package for me, and even helped out a day longer than previously planned due to my flight being cancelled. I highly recommend her services.”
“Pamela is absolutely wonderful!! The pups absolutely love her, she is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure the pups were well taken care of, we have three with one recovering from major surgery so no small task!”
“Highly recommend for any of your pets!! We had Christine drop in for house visitors for our dog and we will def. reach out again! Took excellent care and provided updates everyday; excellent communication!”
“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.”
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling In currently on summer break from college with full access to a car. Tues-Thurs I am occupied with online summer classes that last from 6:30 pm - 8:45pm but any time before or after I am fully happy to help out I train clear boundaries within the home (no wandering in the kitchen) and remain all food items and tools off the floor. I also keep various toys such as Kongs and puzzles to keep my dog stimulated indoors. I’m also pretty active myself so most of the time I like to go on walks
“Lauren looked after my two kitties for a couple days. She was perfect! It was easy to set up the appointment, she was quick to respond to any questions and made me feel comfortable during my business trip knowing the cats were in good hands. And I really enjoyed getting the Rover Card reports! Thanks Lauren!”
“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.”
“Jenna is a superstar! She has been caring for our dog who absolutely adores her. Jenna is loving and sweet, she plays with our dog, and she sends us terrific pictures. By the way, I think she can start a pet photography business, because each photo is amazing. I completely trust Jenna with our fur baby, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is dropping in and giving dog love, fresh air, a bio break, and exercise. We feel so fortunate to work with Jenna!”
About: I have been privileged to have pets my whole life. I have had different cats and dogs. One of my dogs is disabled and this has taught me how to accommodate animals differently.

I can walk dogs at various times and house sit overnight if necessary. I have reliable transportation. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and two cats. Both have specific beds and the cats have their own respective play areas. Litter boxes is kept in a safe spot.
“Gretchen was amazing taking out both of my dogs! One of them is very nervous and Gretchen was extremely patient with her. She stayed longer than she needed to in order for my dog to warm up to her and really put in the effort to make my dog feel safe. Thank you Gretchen!”
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.
“Evelyn was so sweet with my shy kitty Mina! She is not typically comfortable around strangers but with Evelyn she was rolling around playing and being silly. I loved all the pictures and communication I got while I was traveling, I definitely feel comfortable knowing she was in good hands!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. There hasn’t been a time where at least one furry friend wasn’t running around our house. Friends and family members have relied on me for walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with their pawed friends. I have experience with rescue dogs, as well as basic cat care. I am currently a college student taking a semester off. My current availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I have experience with monitoring dogs in fenced yards, as well as both city and rural neighborhood walks. I have experience with crates if necessary.
About: I have had a dog or cat since the day I was born. I have had three cats and three dogs all of which I love very much. I have raised puppies, kittens, and even a 100 pound lab. No pet is too big or too small. I love to spend time with my pets in my free time going for walks, teaching them new tricks, and helping them feel safe. I am a full time college student taking morning classes at Towson University so I will be up with the pets in the morning and free to hang out with them anytime after 1pm. In my home I will introduce the environment to your pets slowly so they are able to adjust and where ever they feel comfortable I will setup a space for them so they can eat and do what ever other business they need to do.
“I am consistently impressed with Don’s attentiveness and excellent communication when caring for my two cats! I am a repeat customer of Don’s and will continue to hire him. I am often out of town for long stretches of time for work and I always come home to two happy, well cared for cats. Don always makes note of my cats’ behavior, as well as general care he performed. It’s a comfort knowing that Don is giving thorough attention to detail when I’m away.”

Ana took great care of our 13 year old Sheltie and our cat. It was a pleasure to meet with her and from the moment they met Ana, our pets took a liking to her and felt comfortable. She kept us up to date with daily messages and was very responsive and trustworthy. We highly recommend Ana and will certainly like to use her petcare services again in the near future.

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 Potomac 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.
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 Potomac 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 .
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.
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.
To find sitters in Potomac with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 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.
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.
