“Melinda was fantastic with both my cats. Milo got all the playtime and attention he loves, and she was wonderfully patient with Russell until he warmed up. I came home to two happy, relaxed boys. The photo updates were thoughtful and reassuring and it was obvious Melinda took the time to get to know each cat's personality. Highly recommend, especially if you have a mix of confident and cautious cats. Will definitely book again. Thanks for looking after Milo and Russell, Melinda! ❤️”
“Jasmine is absolutely amazing. We had a cross Canada family trip planned and our elderly cat got sick right before we were leaving. Had other family not flown across the country for this trip, we would have cancelled. I was so worried about leaving but Jasmine stepped in and was able to not only give the medication but was so good, our cats warmed up to her which has never happened. She kept in touch and sent updates the entire time. We came home to happy, healthy cats and a clean house. She deserves 10 stars. Jasmine is a literal life saver.”
About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I offer comprehensive, loving care for your pets, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and happy in your absence. With a background in animal first aid and a deep understanding of pet health, I’m fully prepared to handle any situation that arises, including administering all types of medications and providing specialized care for diabetic pets.

Whether your furry friend needs routine care, medications, or monitoring for specific health concerns, I tailor my services to meet their unique needs. With a warm, friendly demeanor, I build strong relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s health, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly schedule, ensuring that each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve without disruption. Whether it's a morning walk, mid-day medication administration, or evening playtime, I prioritize consistency and reliability. I tailor my services around each pet's specific needs—whether it's providing extra support for senior pets, giving medication on time, or simply offering companionship and care when their owners are away. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate your pet's needs while maintaining a balanced and organized schedule. When caring for pets in their own environment, I make sure to maintain their routine as much as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. I follow your pet's daily schedule, ensuring they get their meals, medications, and exercise at the right times. I take extra care to provide them with comfort, companionship, and mental stimulation through play and cuddling, while respecting the familiarity of their home. I keep the space clean, monitor their well-being, and keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“AMAZING!! 2/3 of my cats are very shy and Ana was able to bring them out of their shell and play with them and get some cuddles! Her short visits helped me feel so much better about leaving my kitties for the week while I was in another province. My cats looked sooo happy in all the photos while they were eating and also getting that playtime in! So so so happy with her service. Will definitely rebook in the future if she will have me!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and has been caring for cats for the past 7 years. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I'm currently unemployed so I'm mostly available at any time, but once I'm back at work, I can easily fit into my schedule no problem. Animals don't scare me, we just need to give them some space and respect their boundaries. Being calm around them always helps so they know they're not under threat.
“Tammy is a great, caring pet sitter who quickly bonded with my cats and put all my concerns at rest. She genuinely loves all animals. She came when she said she would every single day and made sure my cats were adjusting well to their adjusted routine. I recommend Tammy most highly.”

When caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible and provide the attention, exercise, companionship, and care their pet needs.

During drop-in visits, I'll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks as needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. For cats, I'll also scoop litter boxes and keep their area clean and comfortable. For dogs, I'll provide safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their age, energy level, and abilities. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower-paced stroll with lots of sniffing and exploring, I'll make sure they get the exercise and attention they need.

“Niki took care of my pet for an entire week - 2 drop ins per day. She has been amazing, sent me updates and pictures. Very reliable and nice! Highly recommend. Easy to communicate with.”
“I am avwry happy with Eunji. She's on time and sends lots of videos and photos and updates when she comes over. My dog Nigel loves her and I recommend Eunji to everyone who's looking for a dog sitter.”
“We really appreciated her patience with Benji. He was very shy and nervous with someone new, but she took her time, sat on the floor to help him feel comfortable, and never rushed him. Even though he wasn't ready for a walk, she made sure he had a chance to go outside and kept us updated throughout the visit. We'd happily book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,193 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Laurel. About 87% 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.
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 travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Laurel 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 based on 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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
