“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.”
“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!!”
“Sharon was an outstanding pet sitter. We felt at ease and she was great about giving us updates. It was wonderful to be able to relax and not worry. In addition, she stayed at our home and everything was immaculate. With two cats and an elderly dog to care for, this was not an easy task. We highly recommend her to others.”
“Angela is the ultimate dog whisperer! She is reliable and 100% committed to taking care of your pets. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Angela. I can’t thank you enough for easing my mind while I was away.”
“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”
“Words cannot explain how grateful I am for finding Sumintra. I had never used this app before but she made it exceed my expectations. She was very caring with my babies, she was always communicating everything to me and sending pictures and videos. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I recommend Sumintra 100%. Eternally grateful.”
About: I have 6 years of experience caring for pets, and I’ve always had a special love for animals! I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to make each one feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and dedicated to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and cuddles, I always make sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and my goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away!!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals! I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and making sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m flexible with my schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every pet is treated like family. I understand that each pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I make it a priority to follow their owner’s instructions carefully. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their regular feeding schedules, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I also respect my clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean and organized. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while giving their owners complete peace of mind
“My dog and I were very pleased with Karen, she took really good care of him and was very flexible in the organisation. Karen stayed even over in our house for the best support to our dog. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly persitter.”
“It was such a relief to find someone who is minutes from our house, who is caring, honest and trustworthy. Being very particular, I only wanted my precious Pierre to be in the care of one woman to care for him. Bittersweet, it took several sitters to find the perfect person... Carrie, you are so amazing. What a relief to find you and we do not want to lose you either! While we were out of town, our last trip, the previous sitter did not stay with our precious Pierre as we paid her to do so. It certainly pays to purchase a Canary camera and to also listen to your neighbors! Carrie, it was a blessing that you were available to get him at last minute and give him the attention he needed. Our week away in July was relieving and relaxing knowing that our Pierre was in your care. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us at last minute and being there for our sweet little four legged boy. He was so relaxed and calm when we arrived home. This validated how comfortable and happy he was in your care. Muah!!”
About: Anyone who knows me would first say, I have so much passion for Dogs and cats. They will be so well cared for in my hands. 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.
“Natasha did a great job of looking after our dog while we were away for 5 days. She kept us up to date with daily check-ins and pictures. Brock was happy and healthy when we returned, and our house was in pristine shape.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”
About: I’ve always had such a soft spot for animals! I’m naturally loving, patient, and nurturing. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat yours just like my own!

I provide a loving, attentive environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and daily routines. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tiffany was amazing! Lots of communication and pictures, and a really positive meet-and-greet. I admit that I’m very picky about who I trust to take care of my pup, and I will 100% be a repeat client of Tiffany’s, if I ever need a sitter again. My pup usually doesn’t walk with or even eat full meals with someone else if I’m not around, but none of that happened with Tiffany! She exceeded all my expectations, by far.”
“Noelle was an amazing dog sitter for our active English Bulldog! She came for a meet and greet, and we hired her on the spot! Her communication was amazing throughout the process and the trip, and we could really enjoy our time away. It was a great feeling coming home to a pup that was happy, loved and comfortable in our home rather than in a kennel. We highly recommend Noelle!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and learning about them since I was little. I’ve had many pets including farm, and house pets. I’ve spent lots of time researching their care and behavior. I’ve had lots of dogs. My oldest is 16 so I have senior experience and I raised puppies from a bottle without a mother to care for them. I always enjoyed training dogs and learning the best practices to enrich my pets. I’ve also done research in dog grooming as I always bathed and did nail cuts at home for my dogs and other pets. Ever since I was little I always wanted to work in the animal care industry either training, grooming, or care so I really do enjoy pet care and have lots of experience to go along with it. :) I can work nights mornings or anytime of day as I currently don’t have any thing taking my time and have a very flexible schedule. When I care for pets in my clients home, I follow their instructions carefully to make sure the pet’s routine and environment is the same or to my best ability too. I ensure the home remains secure while I’m there, including locking doors and gates after visits. I provide companionship, walks, feeding, and any medication as directed, and I respect the pet’s space and comfort level. I also send updates and photos regularly so owners know their pets are in good hands. I think communication is very important and will always respect my clients boundaries and rules for their home and pets. The better information and instructions I’m given the better I will do as I want to do what’s best for my client and their pet. When I care for a pet I always make it my top priority to have my phone on me incase of emergency’s or if my client wants to get in touch with me for any reason or updates on their pets.
About: We offer a different kind of boarding, where your pet(s) come to stay in our home, (not outdoor in a kennel), they are encouraged to hang out with us as if they were at home with you…and we have a fenced in back yard, with a pool, and with lots of room to run around and play in. (I do have an unground pool in our backyard and your pups are allowed in if permitted, and I will always have my eyes on them while they are outside.) I am Animal CPR Certified through the American Red Cross and I have plenty of References available upon request. Why not schedule a meet and greet today. About this sitter: I was raised on a farm in Seville Ohio where I began my love affair with animals. I was a member of 4-H for over 6 yrs. I have been a Professional Pet-Sitter for over 20+ yrs now. I have never not had a pet and Absolutely LOVE what I do for a living. I work from home caring for pets full-time. It leaves me with a very grateful heart because I’m living my dream doing what I love for a living.i I’ve been in business for over 24 years now as a professional pet care specialist, but am new to the Sarasota Florida area. We have a very convenient location located just a few minutes away from I 75 in the Sarasota Lakes area. We have a completely fenced in backyard with plenty of room to play and explore inside the 6’ fence. Your pets will be staying with us in our home-NOT A KENNEL-where they are welcome to come hang out on the couch with us and even sleep in my bed. (Only if allowed by you of course) I have a zero tolerance policy for any food aggression or fighting. The parents of the pet who is misbehaving will be asked to pick up their pet immediately. And if they can’t, they will be responsible for making arrangements. I must keep the safety and wellbeing of all who are here in our home/care while either living here or visiting. I’m sure you’ll understand. The dog owner is automatically liable for any injury or property damage the dog causes, even without provocation-whether to property, another animal or person while under our care. While under our care we understand that accidents can happen. We are very cautious about the exit/entry into and leaving the areas for your pet to be cared for. We are not liable for any damage caused by you or your pet while entering/exiting our location, and during his/her stay. Please make sure doors and/or gates are secure when entering/exiting the property. Thank you for your understanding.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Erin does a great job watching our dogs and house while we are out of town. We’ve booked with Erin for eight trips over the past year and a half, plus several drop-ins. We’ve always been very satisfied. She sends pictures and videos every day, even utilizing effects such as slo-mo video and Bokeh. She spends a lot of time with the dogs, who appear to be enjoying themselves immensely. When we return from our travels, the house is spotless. We recommend Erin highly!
I am so happy that we found Kari! She has been so great with our dog Benny, from the very first message she was super friendly, flexible and happy to help. Like most, I have a really hard time leaving Benny alone and have anxiety about it and moving to a new city I wasn’t sure I would be able to find someone to care for Benny but Kari was the perfect person. Kari stayed overnight at our house with Benny while we were out of town and she took great care of him and she left the house cleaner than it was when we left!. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone.
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.
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 of House Sitting in Laurel is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $102 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,018 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
