“We recently used Robin to care for our 15 year old senior Pomeranian. She was incredible. Not only was she punctual, but she sent daily updates and photos of our girl while we were away. She administered her medication with zero issues as well. Gave her all the belly rubs and treats. After she left and we arrived home we noticed our old girl looking for Robin. Highly recommend and we will be using her again. Thanks Robin!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Amanda was quick to reply, super friendly, and very punctual. My pups had a fun time with her and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have pet sit for a wide variety of friends and family with all different kind of animals. Dogs most frequently to cats and even birds. I work full time Monday to Thursday 7am to 3pm. My work is in office 15 minute drive from my home. I can come home on my lunch break to allow for extra potty breaks if needed. I live in town houses, so if your dog cries from separation anxiety please let me know ahead of time. I do my best to tailor my routine to your pets needs. I know how Important it is to keep a pets routine the same.
“Ava was amazing with my two boys. She provided frequent updates along with photos. Having a dog with some special needs takes a special person to be willing to take that on and Ava rose to the occasion. I was put at ease knowing they were getting great care. Thank you Ava!”
“Gail was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was quick to reply right from the start of our interaction and maintained great communication while carefully and affectionately caring for my dog and kitty. She was very attentive to my senior dog’s needs, ensuring he was safe and comfortable in our home at all times while we were away on holidays. She was very organized, taking notes to ensure she remembered every detail and instruction before we left and even checked in to make sure we were okay with her sending photos of our animals while we were away. I would happily hire Gail again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking animal care. 10/10!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: Certified in pet first-aid. I have worked professionally as a dog jogger. Former volunteer experience as a vet assistant. Avid runner who is happy to walk or jog with your dog. Experienced with giving oral medications and insulin injections. Previous work as a pet and home sitter. I am a student nearing completion of my degree.

I have a fenced in yard and a nice park and ravine nearby my house where I could take dogs for walks. I do not currently have any pets of my own so yours will be the centre of my attention.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes breeds and personalities my whole life. I am comfortable and confident caring for dogs that are small, large, shy, social young or old. For the past two years, I have volunteered as an advanced dog walker with Edmonton Humane Society, where I have received hands-on training with their expert Behaviour Team. I’m currently completing an online diploma, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This means I’m available for pet care throughout the week and on weekends morning afternoon or evening. Since my studies are self-paced I am able to easily prioritize your pets needs and give them attention time and care they deserve whenever it’s needed. While I don’t host pets in my own home, I have plenty of experience, caring for pets in their own space and staying at clients homes. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in a familiar environment so I always do my best to maintain the usual routine Whether it’s drop visits or overnight stays I treat your home and your pet with the utmost care and respect
“Denae was great. Finn was happy when we arrived home and the house was so clean. She provided regular updates and pictures while we were away and Finn was so well taken care of. We can’t wait to use her again! I would highly recommend Denae to look after your fur baby.”
About: I babysat my neighbor's bigger dog at the age of 12 and then my aunt's puppy in it's earlier months as she was at work. :) I regularly spend time outdoors on walks, working out, at the park and more, so I believe incorporating this service will be the perfect transition towards a profession, as spending time outdoors is a major part of my lifestyle. I believe communication is the biggest thing when undertaking such a real responsibility, so in order to prepare for this I like to ensure everything is clear by using my personal checklist. The best way to ensure safety and trust is clear communication and patience. I want to ensure the dog is comfortable and aware of their surroundings.
“Absolutely amazing Within a day Carmen had my cat which is normally terrified of people coming for pets. All my 5 animals were very well looked after Highly recommend Carmen”

I am grateful to have met Sophie and will continue to hire her as much as possible.”
“Amber did a great job of looking after our dog. Who has limited mobility and a routine of meds. She sent us pictures of their time together. Also sent texts letting us know how things were going. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life since I was around 4. I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs, giving me lots of experience! I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, I’ve taken care of their daily needs since I was 10 years old. I make sure to have my schedule fit with letting my dogs out and feeding my animals. I am the biggest animal lover, I will spend time with dogs and cats over humans most of the time.

About: With over a decade of dedicated experience, my journey as a dog lover began during my childhood, nurturing and caring for our furry companions like they were family. This deep-rooted connection instilled in me a profound understanding of the unique needs and unconditional love that dogs bring into our lives. With me, your furry companion isn't just in good hands – they're in loving paws that understand the language of loyalty and companionship. Let's make your dog's stay an unforgettable experience, full of play, comfort, and a whole lot of tail-wagging happiness Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as an integral part of my life. Mornings start with cheerful walks and play sessions, setting the tone for an active day ahead. During the day, I ensure regular potty breaks, engaging activities, and ample cuddle time. Structured mealtimes are a priority, accommodating dietary needs and preferences. In the evenings, leisurely walks allow for exploration and relaxation. Nighttime routines include cozy rest areas and soothing rituals for a peaceful sleep. In my home, where I offer dog day care services, your furry friend becomes an honorary member of my family. From the moment they step through the door, they're greeted with a warm welcome and a safe, inviting space tailored to their needs. Structured routines ensure that they receive the attention, exercise, and mental stimulation they crave. Play sessions in our securely fenced yard allow for spirited romps, while indoor areas are filled with toys, cozy spots, and water stations for comfort and hydration.
About: With my law enforcement background, I can surely say I have great experience with security and giving safety not only to people, but also to animals! And as an avid outdoorsy person, I love to do walks outside and be one with nature. I also have experience in training dog with tricks! Being in law enforcement has given taught me patience and confidence. I currently have a 7 to 3pm job Mondays to Fridays. So from 4pm onwards I am free. Saturday and Sunday I am free whole day. As a experienced security agent, I have very keen observation skills. Once I notice something amiss I would do my best to keep everyone, and pets safe. For dog sitting, specifically little dogs I do my best to be near them when walking at parks for easy access.
About: Its hard enough to leave a pet with a stranger I'm hoping to make that a little bit easier. Besides taking care of personal pets since I was 10yrs old, in recent years I've taking a liking to babysitting friends dogs both at their home or mine. I have a daughter who I consider when looking at my schedule and as long as we have a friendly bunch I would be taking her along. I've taught her to respect animals just as much as I do and pet personal space is considered into that. I have a small fenced yard, but plenty of walking trails around. I don't have any pets of my own besides the 2 dogs and cat at my moms that stayed with my family when I moved out. I like to engage with the animals, if I'm coming to your house or otherwise to care for your animal I want them to feel seen and loved in the stressful moments while the most important people in their life are away.

Olivia was very professional. Easy to get along with. And most importantly did awesome with our mile long list of instructions we left. Also had to administer ear drops, and pills for our dog Haley. She took Haley for a walk. Not too mention went over and above, leaving our house VERY clean. Vacuumed, stripped the bed, kitchen was sparkling etc. HIGHLY recommend her services. We will definitely look her up before our next vacation!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Laurel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Laurel walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
