About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention, patience, and affection. As a university student, pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule. My flexible schedule allows for me to provide consistent walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and companionship to the animal I am caring for. Whether in my home or in my client’s home, I take caring for pets very seriously. I make sure to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s individual routine. I think it is important to maintain the pet’s routine to ensure the pet gets enough exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and proper administration of medication. I also respect client’s homes and always leave them clean and secure.

“Sophie very clearly has a love of animals, shown through her willingness to help us with our kitties who weren't quite getting along when she came for visits during the long weekend. She kept us updated throughout our time away, and made a point to make some recommendations for things for us to try to get them feeling comfortable around each other again. Sophie further made sure to reach out and arrange a meet-and-greet, working us in to her busy schedule despite our short notice. Thanks again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs, cats, goats, chickens, horses, etc- since I was a child, spending many summers in my family’s farm. I’ve grown up loving animals and have a 2 year old dog of my own as well that I’ve self trained. I am able to be really flexible with my work schedule, and can take time off as well. I usually have full availability if I’m notified about a week in advance. This is a family home with a very friendly dog so your baby will never get bored. We have lots of dog parks and walking areas nearby. We provide a super fun and safe environment, and activities will be tailored based on your dog’s temperament and any schedule/instructions you provide. Whether they’re super energetic or shy, I’ll be sure to provide a home away from home! I can only take two dogs at a time. There are no children living in the house.
About: I grew up on an acreage and have cared for animals my entire life. I began pet sitting for others early on, including for a veterinarian family, caring for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and a variety of other animals. I am currently a student at the U of A where I am studying Animal Health with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I offer pet sitting, dog-walking, feeding/watering, exercise and daily care tailored to each animal's individual needs. I currently work part-time and attend University classes at the UofA for Animal Health. However this still allows me lots of free time to direct towards pet sitting and with communication I am very open to discussing scheduling. Whenever I pet/house sit at a clients home, I maintain and clean and organized environment. I prioritize cleaning up after not just the pets but myself included. I always follow rules and instructions for certain things as well in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
About: I have fostered dogs of all ages from various humane societies along with my family since I was a young teen, and have been a dog lover my whole life! I own 2 dogs of my own currently, and they are the loves of my life. I am currently off school for the summer and have full availability to watch and care for pets. I have people to care my own dogs whenever needed, so I am always looking for new doggies to interact with! I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent care style for an animal and am open ears to however you choose to raise yours, and will completely adhere to those guidelines. I only walk on completed pathways and sidewalks that are safe for animals, and keep a sharp eye on our surroundings.
“Anika was very professional. This was the first time we had to leave without our dog which made me very nervous but she made the experience ??. She was very accommodating, on time, sent updates throughout the weekend. Next time I need dog sitting/ check-ins services I know who to go to! Thank you so much Anika!”


About: I’ve always loved animals, any and all kind and they’ve always loved me back too. I’d be good at watching any animal. I have 2 cats and will be good with cat sitting, although I also love dogs. I care for 2 of my own cats everyday but if you need a helping hand with yours I am available at short notice. Just let me know what your pet needs. They have a lot of stimulation from toys and scratch posts. They also love going on walks on their harnesses (they’re both leash trained) or in their backpacks.
About: We know firsthand that dogs are family. We cared for our beloved dog for 11 years through two knee surgeries and several other procedures due to genetic health issues, giving her the best care every step of the way. That experience taught us patience, responsibility, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra attention. We provide a calm, loving home, daily walks, plenty of affection, and will follow your dog's routine exactly as you request. We treat every dog like one of our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. We both work full-time Monday to Friday, so we're best suited for dogs that are comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours during the workday. Every dog gets a morning walk before we leave, an evening walk when we're home, and lots of love and attention afterward. On weekends we're home most of the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog's safety and comfort are our top priorities. We'll follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication routine, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as requested. We treat every dog like a member of our family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. We also volunteer with an incredible pet rescue in Edmonton dog sitting for fosters while they wait for their forever home and absolutely love everything about it. All dogs we watch will 100% be treated like royalty 💜 We also have a toy box full of new toys where your incredible pet gets to bring home their favorite toy after their stay 🥰

About: An animal lover through and through, I grew up around animals from a very young age; owning my own dogs as well as spending every summer of my youth at my godmothers’ farm rounding up cows, turkeys, chickens and yes, farm dogs and cats too. Professionally I’ve been employed as a groomer and a doggy daycare attendant so im well versed in handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. With me as your second in care, I can promise your domesticated babies will be well loved and taken care of! After putting my safety before the needs of a corporation that employed me for four years, I’ve found myself with plenty of free time on my hands. If you need someone to keep your pets company, you should reach out! I’ve always made a point to get out and move my body everyday which helps me be prepared to take your pups along for the journey! Overnight house sitting will always come with lots of attention and outdoor time on my part. Dog needs a more relaxing time? Absolutely not a problem. I harbour a natural balance between active and lazy, having no issue with chillin and watching some tv. You can count on me to pay attention and take action if any type of emergency were to arise. Integrity is as important to me as your pets’ safety is to you!

About: I have trained a beautiful pup to talk using button training. She now knows 35 words and “I love you” is her favourite! I also love photography, so you can expect plenty of photos and videos of your loved one. I love taking cats, dogs, and myself for beautiful River Valley walks as well! I currently work remotely, for myself, and part time, so I will have lots of time to spend with your loved one! You can expect lots of walks and play time in our spacious, fenced backyard. I have a fenced spacious backyard, and currently no pets, so your furbaby will be my sole priority. We have lots of parks and walking trails near our home with plenty green space and trees to sniff and explore!
About: For 16 wonderful years, I cared for my own highly anxious dog who, in her senior years, also became blind and deaf. That experience taught me deep patience, compassion, and how to make even the most sensitive pups feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs — and I’m here to meet them with care and kindness. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, some cozy company while you’re away, or just extra love and attention, I’ve got it covered. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and treat every furry friend like family. Expect regular updates, happy tails, and total peace of mind. Let’s keep your pup safe, loved, and having the best time—every time we hang out! I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, dinner-time company, or weekend care, I’ve got you covered with plenty of love, patience, and reliable service! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pup in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel safe, loved, and respected. I take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, routines, and personality. From managing anxious pups to senior dogs with special care needs, I handle every situation with patience and attention. I always follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions you provide — and I’m happy to send regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and treat your space the way I’d want mine to be treated. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long, and I make sure they have plenty of space, enrichment, and love. You can trust that your dog is in good hands — safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Alycia went above and beyond taking care of our kitties while we were away. She clearly loves the animals a great and has their best interests in mind. We were very impressed, would definitely recommend her and hope to work with her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with many different animals and I’ve always had a soft spot for pets! I currently take care of my grumpy senior cat and my very energetic puppy and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies too I currently work a steady rotating schedule which leaves me with a lot of free days for walks and visits during the week and on busy weekdays! I’m able to give your pup lots of exercise through long walks, runs, and lots of play time to stimulate their minds and burn off their energy. I’ll leave your pup tired at the end of each visit
“Charleigh was very accommodating for a last minute request. She arrived on time, stayed with the dogs to give them some attention, took them for walks, and sent pictures along the way. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely use her next time.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Zoe. She did drop-in visits for our four cats over two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. Her communication was excellent—she provided detailed notes after each visit along with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Zoe also took amazing care of our home. She even shoveled when it snowed and brought in packages that arrived while we were gone, which was incredibly thoughtful. When we returned, the house smelled fresh and clean—not like litter at all—which says so much about the level of care she put in. We would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.”

“Saoirse did an amazing job with my cats! It was super last minute and she saved our holiday plans! We got daily updates with lots of photos and I had no worries and knew they were in good hands.”

Melinda had a meet and greet with Simba and two drop on visits with him. She was very patient and understanding of Simba’s barking (he is a small poodle iykyk). Im a very nervous dog mom and Melinda made us feel comfortable leaving Simba in her care. Would book with her for next time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Laurel is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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.
There are 1,126 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Laurel. About 88% of Laurel sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
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 Laurel 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
