“Qingbo was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He loved her. She kept a consistent routine of walks, feeding, sleep, and meds. I appreciated her regular communication and updates with pictures and videos. Drop off and pick up was smooth. Great experience and I will be booking again!”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Julijai and her family were phenomenal dog sitters! They took such great care of my guy, Eli. He loved running around in their big fenced in yard and playing with their own pups who were around Eli’s age. He came home tired and happy :) Couldn’t have asked for more from Julijai and her family. They were great and I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter.”
“Natalia was super great. Very responsive and would send me updates and pictures multiple times a day for my cat. She even got him to feel comfortable going in his carrier which he’s always hated. Would absolutely recommend!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Amazing Experience for Roxy! 🐾💜 I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving Roxy behind while I went on vacation was so much easier knowing she was in such loving and caring hands. From the beginning, Vanessa and her family made Roxy feel like part of their own family! I received lots of pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. But what impressed me the most was seeing Roxy getting along with the other dogs! Anyone who knows Roxy knows that she’s not usually the most social with other pups, so seeing her comfortable, happy, and interacting with them was such a pleasant surprise! It was clear that Roxy wasn’t just being watched, she was being loved, cared for, and given the attention she needed. That means everything to me! I’m beyond grateful for the wonderful care Roxy received and would absolutely trust this family with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home away from home for their fur baby! 🐶💕”
“Victor has watched our pup several times and has always been dependable, caring and attentive. We receive daily updates and pictures. Our dog definitely has a great time at Victor’s!”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“My first time using a Rover.com sitter was with Da'Reinn. She was professional, responsive, provided videos and pictures, and kept me informed. My dog was excited to visit her and felt comfortable in her home- which is a plus!I I booked with her twice in the same week, and will contiunue to use her services for my dog.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay at Kristin's place. Her house has a large, fully fenced yard that my dog was able to enjoy. Kristin is super sweet and even slept by my dog's side when she was experiencing separation anxiety during the night. Kristin's pets are all very friendly and I know my dog would love to go back. Highly recommend!”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“I couldnt have asked for a better sitter than Eric! He took wonderful care of my dog on short notice, sent multiple adorable photo updates, and followed all feeding and walking instructions to the letter. My puppy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Brittany and Shane were wonderful with Finch. They were attentive to her needs. They were quick to give me updates. Finch clearly enjoyed them, because I got pics of her snuggling in their laps. Would definitely book again.”
“Priscilla was so great with Kai. She went out of her way to take our large puppy into her home. Everyday she sent us updates and pictures. We are so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her!”
“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful with Koda and Kyro! She took great care of both of them and kept us updated throughout their stay with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Jasmine was friendly, professional, and attentive to their needs. We truly appreciated the regular updates and could tell she genuinely loves caring for dogs. We would absolutely book with Jasmine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Koda and Kyro!”
“Amanda and Loki were great hosts to Bella once again. Amanda sent many photos and videos throughout Bella’s stay and very communicative. Looking forward to booking with her again knowing Bella always has a great time.”

I would give 10 stars if I could! Qingbo was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup so well in our absence. She sent updates, videos and photos regularly, which helped me since I’d never left our pup with anyone before. I can’t say enough great things about Qingbo, if you’re considering booking her, she’s amazing!
My dog Chai is always in great care with Fredis! Always my first choice for her sitter. He's very quick to reply and confirm sitting appointments and updates on Chai during her stay. Very flexible as well had been accommodating and communicated well about flight delays and pickup person/time changes when discussed in advance.
Malik was very friendly and took great care of Teddy during his stay. I especially appreciated his excellent communication! He was very responsive, answered all my questions throughout the booking process, and kept me updated with pictures and messages during Teddy's stay. Teddy seemed happy and comfortable with him when I picked him up. I highly recommend Malik and will definitely use his services again! 🐾
I am the owner of a bichon frise – Shih Tzu mix puppy who is quite anxious and quite attached to my husband and me. We previously had only left him with family members when we traveled. That situation however was no longer feasible. So I became the anxious one looking for a dog sitter who would make my beloved pooch, feel comfortable. Jacqueline was the answer to my prayers. She only boards one dog at a time. She has a job that allows her to work from home. And she is calm, kind, and patient. Jacqueline and I communicated easily and she sent me photographs of my pooch every day that I was traveling. I really didn't worry about him a bit after the first morning – – I knew he was comfortable and safe. What more can you ask? I'm very happy to have found Jacqueline.
Robert and Pamela are wonderful! Our dog Annie is an aussie mix. and is very anxious with many people. I could tell she loves these two and felt very comfortable at their home, and received wonderful care. They even sent pictures during her stay! Totally recommend Robert and Pamela (also they both have wonderful, friendly personalities.).
Tanisha is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! I’ve used her three times now, and every experience has been great. She is incredibly reliable, caring, flexible, and always willing to accommodate my last-minute requests, which I truly appreciate. Whenever I’m away, she stays in touch throughout my entire trip and sends daily pictures and videos of Kash. Those updates give me so much peace of mind because I can actually see that he’s happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. Most importantly, Kash absolutely LOVES being with Tanisha and her family! He’s always excited and in a great mood when I drop him off, and he comes home just as happy. That tells me everything I need to know about how well he’s treated while he’s there. After three stays, I can confidently say that I completely trust Tanisha with Kash. She treats him like part of her family, and I never have to worry when he’s in her care. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. **Best dog sitter ever!**
We had a great experience with Lakshme! She took wonderful care of our dog while boarding her for a week. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Kirti and her family were amazing sitters for my dog Joy! They went above and beyond and treated her like their own. Their dog Sunshine was also a wonderful companion for Joy. I look forward to having Joy stay with them again in the future and am grateful to have found such a loving and caring family for her to stay with when I travel. Their love for dogs is genuine and they have set up their home to meet every comfort for Sunshine and any Rover dogs they host.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Laurel is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Laurel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Laurel home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Laurel.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Laurel sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
