About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter with over a year and a half of professional experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. I’ve loved animals my whole life and was a dog and cat owner myself. My dog was part of my family for 13 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, fresh water, medication, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After every visit, I send photos, videos, and a short update. GPS walk tracking is also available whenever possible, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect—as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I offer a flexible schedule during the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, cat care, or occasional pet sitting, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, medication, or quiet companionship at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life ranging from all ages, mainly ages 2-13! Due to having dogs my entire life, caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve developed a genuine passion for animals and love making sure they feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your pets! My availability allows me to spend quality time with your dog rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I provide in-home drop ins, so your pup can stay in the comfort of their own home and keep their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention.
“Jennifer took such wonderful care of my cat, Ellie! I was nervous to leave Ellie alone for the first time since adopting her, and Jennifer did so much to reassure me through the process. It's clear that she gives her full attention to the pets that are in her care, and she has a very gentle, nurturing nature. I'm so grateful I found her, and that she made time for me and Ellie over the holidays!”
“Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.”
“This is the third time that Alanna dropped in to take care of our cats and there’s a reason why. Amazing care, pretty straightforward, and easy to communicate with. I’m glad that she was available for our last minute request to check on our babies. Thank you as always, Alanna! See you again next time!”
“Alessio was great! We had a last minute need for care and he responded promptly and professionally, so willing to help. Our dogs have a lot of energy with guests but they calmed down very quickly and settled in for a night while we were out. We came home to calm and happy dogs!”
“Ashlyn took such good care of my cat. She visited twice a day, let my cat in/out, fed her, brought my mail in, and hung out with my cat each visit. Everything I requested!! Highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again. Thanks Ashlyn☺️”
“Heng is always great with our kitty. We appreciate the detailed updates while we are away. Heng is very responsive and follows our care instructions. She is one of our go-to cat sitters currently. Thank you for always taking such good care of our cat!”
About: I will give your babies all the love and care they deserve because they are the best babies! I love animals and am diligent about their unique cares and support. I grew up with dogs and have several years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. No matter if your pets are shy, little, old, energetic or grumpy I will make sure they are very well taken care of and feel loved and safe in your absence. I work close by my range so I can pop over to walk and check in on your pet. I am completely willing to tailor the experience to best suit your pets needs for walks, food, sleep and company. It is important to me to help your pet keep whatever their routine is so they don’t experience any stress or discomfort while you’re gone.
About: I’m a proud cat parent to a spoiled, sweet 4-year-old cat named Winston, and I’ve spent years looking after my friends' cats whenever they’re out of town. I know firsthand that felines aren't just pets—they’re family members with their own quirky personalities, strict routines, and personal boundaries! Whether your cat is an energetic kitten, a sweet senior, or a shy feline who takes time to warm up, I meet them where they're at so they feel safe and comfortable. What you can expect from me: Respecting their boundaries: I pay close attention to feline body language. If your cat loves belly rubs and feather wands, I'm all in! If they just want a quiet human nearby while they relax under the couch, I let them set the pace. Keeping their exact routine: Fresh water, strict meal times, clean litter boxes, and their favorite games—I stick precisely to what keeps them happy and stress-free. Thoughtful daily updates: You’ll get detailed updates during every visit, complete with plenty of photos and notes on how they're eating, playing, and lounging. My main goal is to treat your cat with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I am currently very flexible with my schedule and available throughout the day for pop-in visits, feeding, and quality playtime at times that suit your cat's exact routine. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Since my own cat Winston spends time both indoors and outdoors, I am very familiar with managing both environments and respecting each pet's specific routine and boundaries.
“Thank you so much Deborah! You were right on time which is very appreciated with my schedule. I can tell that Moose loved her walk and was perfectly tired out when she got back. Thank you for refreshing food and water as well. I know I’ll be in touch soon.”
“Isabella took great care of my cats and was very communicative whenever there were any issues. She took the time to clean after them and send me cute pictures every time!”
“Sukky (Siqi) is an amazing Rover cat sitter — incredibly attentive and truly knows how to interact with cats. Hoohoo was so well cared for, and reading her daily update notes genuinely made my day every time. She’s thoughtful, observant, and clearly experienced with cats. She also went above and beyond what I expected: she helped brush Hoohoo’s fur, tidied up the living room, and took absolutely fantastic photos (I’m literally using them as my phone wallpaper!). On top of that, she even drew an adorable little sketch of Hoohoo — such a sweet and personal touch. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will definitely book Siqi again next time. Highly recommend!”
“Jonah took wonderful care of our cat, Nali, while we were gone for a month. They were caring, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely reach out to them the next time we are out of town!”
About: I work from home three days a week - usually Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On those days, I'm available mornings before 11 AM and evenings after 5 PM. Mondays and Thursdays, I'm available after 6 PM, and I can also accommodate weekend care when needed. My days working from home/in office may change depending on operational need. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by providing food, water, clean litter boxes, playtime, personalized care, plus regular updates and photos.
About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.
“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”
About: Animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve grown up with a pet dog and currently own a cat, so I understand pets as family. Reliable, patient, and genuinely passionate about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work at home via online, meaning, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am doing this mostly because I love animals and I need to get out more. My cat is an indoor cat, she has a wide spacious window in my room where she can observe outside, I also take her outside where there is trees and grass on a harness 1-3 times a week to get some fresh air. She is very mellow and like to sun bath. I am open to outside and inside care!
“Cecilia is pretty fantastic! We have a very timid cat who took months to warm up to me. But apparently she had no trouble warming up to Cecilia! She was very well taken care of and we will inevitably rebook again with Cecilia!”
About: Every chance that I had, I would take the opportunity to learn about and spend time with dogs and puppies. I love to teach new tricks, spend quality time, and learn about each unique dog! I work part time already, but I do not have an animal at home, and would love to be able to spend time with them while upping my overall experience with them! I am usually available in the mornings and evenings to spend time with them. The first thing I always make sure of is that the animals are in a safe enviorment, even in their own homes (ex: they could have knocked something over), whether or not it is a drop-in or "long term" visit. I always make sure that they are comfortable, indoors and outdoors, and that they are getting plenty of attention. Following a routine set by the parents is the priority, but always making sure that the animal is having fun is important too.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Laurel is $31
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Irina was fantastic with my two cats! She gave comprehensive updates and sent many pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. She even went above and beyond to check on them an extra evening when one of the cats was having tummy issues. It’s abundantly clear how much she cares about the little guys. Would highly recommend!
There’s nothing like piece of mind when you are away from your pet. Zishen and Yukuang are amazing. My cat was pampered and clearly loved by both. They sent many photos and detailed updates every drop in during the two weeks that we were gone. All tasks were completed above and beyond. They also made sure to let us know about a notice that was on our front door. I would recommend them highly to my friends and they are my top choice while I’m away!
Claudia was fantastic with Toto - she played with him while I was traveling every workday, she gave consistent and comprehensive updates, she clearly cared for his wellbeing, and was highly professional. I will definitely enjoy working with her again and recommend her to others
Heleen is our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust to look after our boy. We have a very shy cat, but he feels completely comfortable with her. On top of that, Heleen is incredibly easy to communicate with, practical, and reliable. She gets things done!
Criss always does such an amazing job caring for our kitties and our home. We can tell the kitties really enjoy her company and feel at ease knowing they are in good hands when we are away. She is a pleasure to communicate with and we highly recommend her to others looking for pet care.
Lizbeth took great care of my cat while I was gone for 10 days. She was consistent with her drop ins, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated on anything important. I really appreciated that she checked in on very short notice when my litter robot threw a concerning error to make sure my cat was safe. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a cat sitter!
Nicol is the most patient, kind and caring sitter we ever had. She always goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and the house. Her love and care for our cats makes us feel really reassured and we can travel at peace, thanks to Nicol. I can't recommend her enough.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

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 .
