“Robin was great! She did 3 pre-visits (we booked her a month and a half in advance). She stayed in our home for almost three weeks. Gave us almost daily updates with pictures. Our two fur babies were calm and relaxed when we came home. The house was left clean and in order. Will be using her again when we go away!”
“Ashley was great with our mini dachshund, Maxx. We felt that Maxx was very comfortable with her and she gave daily updates so that we knew how everything was going. Great job! Will definitely contact her again for future dates!”
“Lyndsay was terrific with our dogs she sent me photos of our dogs she let me know how they were doing, she sent me updates throughout our time away. Lyndsay was a great pet sitter she kept our house tidy. Our dogs were happy to see use I could tell by their behaviour that they were well cared for by Lyndsay.I would recommend her to dog sit for others. Thank you Debbie Creaser”
“Amanda stayed in our home with our two dogs for a week. She was wonderful to work with and was amazing with our dogs.

We will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Amanda 😃”

“Adrianna came to my house and stayed 2 nights over Christmas! My dogs absolutely adored her and from the many update photos she sent me, they were at complete ease! Being this is my first time away from them I also had ease with the constant updates and easy communication! Would definitely recommend Adrianna for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Jasmine was amazing with our dogs. Our senior who can be quite fussy took to Jasmine right away. We had constant updates with photos of our kiddos. It was nice to see that they were doing so well. She has great communication skills, took our dogs for walks and we came home to a clean house. Very impressed with her. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Caroline was a fantastic house/pet sitter. She was so tidy that I wouldn't have known she was here except that my plants were watered and our 2 dogs and cat were perfectly calm and happy when we returned from our trip. She was very considerate, professional and kept a great line of communication with us. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve always been the person who says hi to the pets before the people. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. I have two reactive dogs, so I understand patience, body language, and meeting pets where they’re at—whether that’s a confident adventure buddy or a more cautious, slow-to-warm-up friend. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their very specific opinions on everything. My goal is simple: keep your pets safe, happy, and cared for! I have reduced hours at work during the summer so I have plenty of time of extra time to fill with your dogs! I can do over nights, afternoon walks and weekend care! I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I follow their usual feeding, walk, play, and medication schedules as closely as possible to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I have experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and using patience and calm handling to keep pets feeling safe. I take things at each pet’s pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra space. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and understand the importance of letting them come to me on their terms. I’m happy to provide regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Cassidy did a great job house sitting for us. Her knowledge and experience helped ease our concerns while away. She went above expected duties in cleaning up after some illness from one of our cats and administered meds as needed. She is punctual and communicative and follows directions well. We would look to have her house sit again at a future date.”
“Absolutely amazing. I have my Vet med assisting, have worked in a emergency setting for 4 years and also I have worked in dog daycare, so to say the least nothing feels good enough for my pets.... EXCEPT ZOE shes phenomenal and I highly recommend even if your catnor dog need medication. I have 3 kitten babies and 2 dogs at completely different stages and Im wowed by her.”
About: I've had dogs and cats most of my life until the last few years. I can provide care as needed by you and your pets. I'm flexible with availability. I can work around different schedules, in many instances, to allow for different care needs for feeding or walks, or play. I treat them as my own, feeding, playing, or just giving attention based on the needs of you, or your pets, while you are away.
About: Ive been working with all sorts of animals all my life, I'm very enthusiastic about any work that involves them. I have years of experience in many different animals, including reptiles. Animals have a natural gravitation towards me and I'm very patient and loving with any and all animals no matter how much attitude they can give. Dogs require a firm yet gentle soul to care for them and I believe that I provide just that. Any time I get to spend with animals is time well spent! My daily life is taking care and managing animals at home; I love waking up with a purpose of aiding and spending time with these cute little creatures I'd care for your animals if your home; mine has multiple cats with different personalities so its best to keep them separate from others. Any thing I can do to provide them with comfort and happiness is my main goal.
About: I would love for an opportunity to meet with and learn from you and your furbabies on how to care for them! For the past 2 years, I have gone to a close friend’s condo to sometimes care for their medium-sized dog for a day. I generally aim to let their dog go outside every 2-4 hours, depending on their cues that I’m familiar with. On one or two of those breaks during the day, I like to walk them around their neighbourhood for around 15-30 mins. The only other pet experiences that I have is with a cat and a fish. I lived for four months with a cousin and helped with caring for her cat during that time. I had a betta fish that I fed and had a regular water change schedule for his fishbowl for two years. As such, I’m eager to build up more knowledge and experience with all kinds of dogs and cats so that someday I can foster or adopt a fur baby of my own. I will ensure to continue researching and studying caretaking for any pet if I am hired. I am a student taking online classes. My primary mode of commute is public transportation but occasionally and if needed, I will be able to find a direct way of travel. As such, I am flexible with schedules and can work things out if needed. For caretaking in the client’s home, I will ensure to follow instructions thoroughly. I will also ensure to put in extra effort to research caretaking for any characteristics/conditions that you describe your pet as having.

“Jo was great! I felt immediately comfortable with her taking care of our dog and cat during our meet-n-greet. She kept in frequent communication with us and gave great updates with awesome photos. 100% would recommend :)”
“Stephen was so amazing with my sometimes tricky and sensitive dog, Rosie, we were travelling overseas for a few weeks. He went above and beyond in caring for her, and took extra steps to get to know her before the job started, which made a huge difference. He was also great with keeping our house in order and did extra duties we wouldn't have expected. Overall, a great sitter, I highly trust and recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Jasmine was amazing with our dogs. Our senior who can be quite fussy took to Jasmine right away. We had constant updates with photos of our kiddos. It was nice to see that they were doing so well. She has great communication skills, took our dogs for walks and we came home to a clean house. Very impressed with her. We will definitely use her in the future.
I have never felt more at ease leaving my dog with someone. Kelcy was so professional and kept us very up to date while we were away. Our boy seemed extremely happy and well taken care of. Every picture he had a huge smile on his face. She was able to also provide some extra attention and dietary needs when it came to dealing with a big dog with arthritis. We can't wait for her to stay again and watch him. Feels good to know he is in very good hands when we aren't around.
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!
Kennedy was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive to zorro and sent us updates on how his day was going. She took him for three walks and made sure he was fed and brushed. I don't think he missed us at all lol. Would definitely ask her to house sit again. The house also looked amazing when we got back. Great experience. I would say the best I've had on here.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laurel on Rover is $48.74 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
