“Katelyn was very conscientious and followed all instructions to a “T.” I did not have to worry about anything, as she communicated often and asked questions if she was unsure about something. The house was spotless when we returned! I would not hesitate to have her sit our boys again.”
About: I love animals. I understand how much work they can be but also know how much love they provide. Whether you work long hours or travel for work, let me help. I love being outside, the park and the beach. I can throw a ball or snuggle with the best. I have no problem giving baths and grooming needs. I am responsible, reliable, punctual, loving, and caring. I can walk to your house downtown.I have no problem coming to your home and caring for your pets. I have a pooch of my own. It is easier for me to come to you.

My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I can do multiple drop ins in a day or stay at your house to help in whatever way your fur baby needs! My biggest concern is the welfare of your animals. I don’t want to be without food or clean water and your fur babies shouldn’t have to either.
“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”
“This is our first time using rover. Karen I is an absolute angel! What a professional through and through. She kept us up to date with daily reports on how our pups were doing and got along with them perfectly. Our pups can be a bit high maintenance but no concern for Karen I. THE BEST! She took great care of our pups and our house too. The complete package ! We can’t wait to book her again! 6 stars if I could give them.”
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“Angela is an excellent house sitter and our dogs absolutely adore her visits. She is communicative, and sends updates throughout her stay so that we know our dogs are happy and wagging ☺️”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! Stephanie took such wonderful care of Stanley and our cats, sent us sweet updates while we were away, and made it so easy for us to relax knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. She even brought them treats. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which was so incredibly thoughtful and far beyond anything we expected. She truly went above and beyond in every possible way. We will absolutely book her again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Sharon is very conscientious & responsible. Communication was great on the front end & during our trip. Most importantly, our cat Roscoe was quite happy, as evidenced by the photos Sharon sent & his demeanor when we returned! Sharon also kindly watered our outdoor plants, which looked better when we returned than when we left. She also left our home immaculate. Great pet sitter!!”

I work for home about 3 hours a day so I have plenty of time for my passion. Your pet will have the best day with me. I have a large screened in yard and we will take walks on leash as you would like. Or if I watch them at your home whatever you would like me to do I will do.
About: Hello 👋 My daughter and I love caring for other fur babies and loving them as if they are our own. We know how important it is to your pets to give them the proper attention and play they deserve. I’ve grown up with rabbits, cats, and dogs. My first job in 5th grade was walking “Mike” the dog daily and I’ve continued to care for other pets over the years. I work throughout the week with flexibility to walk pups in the morning and evening. Weekends completely off to go on adventures with your fur baby. We love traveling to parks, dog beaches, and even for pup cups! I have a fenced in yard with artificial grass that dogs love to spend time sun bathing. A doggy pool so they can cool down in the Summer’s heat. A large dog park minutes away by foot so your loved one can socialize and run around with other dogs as well. If they choose not to do a dog park then plenty of space to be walked around the neighborhood taking in fresh scents.
“Susan did an excellent job taking care of our dog (Orzo) and cat (Bonkers) while we were away for 5 days. Orzo was taken on multiple (long and short) walks throughout the day. It was comforting knowing that our pets were well taken care of in their own home. It relieved a lot of stress on them (and on us) while we had to travel. Susan also took great care of the house and left it house spotless. We would highly recommend Susan for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and have always had a special love for animals. I am patient, dependable, affectionate, and very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, puppy care, and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your dog. I will treat your pup like family, keep you updated while you are away, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for until you are back home. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide dependable pet care. I am available for walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I can also accommodate evenings and weekends with advance notice. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected. I will follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and daily care. I keep a close eye on each pet, provide plenty of attention, and will always communicate with you so you know your pet is safe and happy.
About: I have over 20 years of companion animal experience and will provide yours with the love and care that I would my own fur babies. If your dog/cat is on any medications I have the ability to administer them calmly and carefully ensuring there is no additional stress. I love to know more about your pups personality so we can make the best of our time together. I’m responsible, hard working and dedicated to making you and your pups experience worry free. If your pup is up for it I would love to take them to the park to play catch or hiking a nearby trail. I am currently home full time and will be able to provide your furry companion with all the time and attention they need and want 🐾 I have a very large yard and a friendly senior pup to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with real hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. At one point, I had four cats and one dog at home, so I’m no stranger to multi-pet households or complex routines! My sweet special-needs cat, Tiny, required twice-daily medication, probiotics, and a special IBD-friendly diet, so I’m confident with senior and medical care. And my beloved corgi Beans, who recently passed, gave me 12.5 beautiful years of experience with senior dogs, mobility issues, and lots of corgi cuddles. 🐾 Right now, my world revolves around my two cats, Chester (a goofy dog-like boy) and Domino (a king with firm boundaries—unless he’s feeling snuggly 😽). They’re both featured in my profile pics because I genuinely adore them and treat them like royalty. Outside of pet care, I work in an elementary school as a first grade teacher! I’ve been a vegetarian for 20+ years because I truly love and respect all animals, and I’m currently looking to spend more time around pets while I’m not teaching during the day. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or needs special care, I’ll treat them like family—because that’s what they are. 💕🐶🐱 During the school year I am available after 4:00pm on weekdays and anytime during the weekends! I am available whenever during the summer ! I am happy to drop-in during these hours! When I’m doing drop-in visits, my #1 priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I always follow your care instructions to the letter—whether that’s meal portions, meds, favorite toys, or specific potty routines. I believe pets thrive when their normal routines are respected, so I do my best to keep everything familiar and stress-free. I treat each home with the same respect and care I’d want someone to show in mine. I’m mindful about security—making sure doors are locked, alarms are set (if needed), and pets are safely inside before I leave. I also love sending updates and cute photos, so you know your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away! I know it takes a lot of trust to invite someone into your home to care for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. Your pet is part of your family—and during our visits, they’re part of mine too. 💕🐾

Amanda was incredible with our pets! She took them on walks and sent us multiple pictures of them while we were gone. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets while house sitting I strongly recommend reaching out to her! I know I will next time we need a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laurel on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
