About: As a pet sitter, taking care of animals is a passion that I take very seriously. Whether it is a puppy or a cat, my approach to pet sitting is centered on providing the best possible care and attention to these beloved animals. What sets me apart is my focus on training, which I believe is crucial to the overall well-being of pets. Through proper training, puppies and cats can learn important skills and behaviors that will benefit them throughout their lives.\n\nI enjoy training puppies and cats because it allows me to bond with the animal and establish a strong relationship built on trust and respect. I believe that a well-trained pet is a happy pet, and my goal is to make sure that each pet I care for is given the attention and training they need to thrive.\n\nIn addition to training, my pet care services include regular walks, feeding, and playtime. I understand that each pet is unique and has their own set of needs, which is why I take the time to get to know each animal and provide personalized care that meets their individual requirements.\n\nOverall, my passion for animals and dedication to providing exceptional care is what sets me apart as a pet sitter. Whether it is a puppy or a cat, I am committed to making sure each animal is healthy, happy, and well-cared for. As a remote worker, I have a very flexible schedule. This gives me the opportunity to work at different times during the day which allows me to be flexible and available, and I am very available on the weekends to support I am sure that safety for pets at my home or at the clients home is of the most important. I always ensure that we follow the best practices. We make sure we follow all standard procedures make sure we communicate and I are on the same page. make sure we have any emergency contact available and are always prepared for any incidents.
“Brandon was amazing! Super professional and easy to work with. We were leaving our cats for the longest we’ve been away from them before, but Brandon made us feel confident they were in good hands. He was also kind enough to water several plants and pick up our mail. We especially appreciated his availability over the holidays. He was great!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for dogs. I believe dogs are not just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I treat every dog in my care with patience, kindness, and attention, just as I would my own. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. • Puppy training & obedience reinforcement • Senior dog care & medication administration • Positive reinforcement training • High-attention, compassionate care • Reliable routines & clear communication I allow pets on all furniture, my bed, my chairs, couches. I don’t believe that pets shouldn’t be allowed on furniture. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I currently have ample time and flexibility to dedicate to dogs in my care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, training reinforcement, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. After recently losing my own dog to kidney failure, I understand deeply how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. That experience has strengthened my commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care and treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m able to give dogs my undivided attention, whether that means extra comfort for senior dogs, structured routines for puppies, or simply being present to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is receiving the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own.
“Xianting was very patient and professional and monitor the conditions of my cat closely. It was our first time using rover and we immediately love Xianting and would love to come back to her again. Highly recommended!”
“Lolah loves Ademide, and that says a lot since my cat does not warm up to any sitter or guest. Pet owners, rest assured that Ademide will respect your home and be your pet’s best friend! Book Ademide with confidence!”
About: I provide attentive, home-style dog care with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and settle in comfortably. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic young dogs to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have experience managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, medications, crate routines, and individual needs. I take introductions seriously and closely supervise interactions so everyone can get comfortable at their own pace. My goal is simple: I want your dog to enjoy being here. Whether they want to play in the yard, go for walks, hang out with the other dogs, or sleep on the couch most of the day, I adjust their stay around what makes them comfortable. I send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your trip knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and having a good time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which gives me plenty of time for regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, walks, play, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care and follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and wants plenty of activity or prefers to relax and lounge around the house, I’m able to adjust the day to what they’re used to at home. My home is set up to give dogs plenty of space to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I have enough space to give dogs separate areas when they need downtime, personal space, or a break from the other dogs. I carefully supervise interactions and introduce dogs at a comfortable pace rather than immediately putting everyone together. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed, following specific feeding or medication instructions, and maintaining the routines your dog is used to at home. I keep the environment clean and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing.
“JHahna was fantastic with our pup while we were away. We were so grateful she was able to take care of her last minute. Every drop-in visit, she messaged to see if there were any special requests. She made sure Harlee had plenty of water and food and was well taken care of!”
About: Fostered and adopted rescue cats and dogs since childhood. As an adult, I’ve adopted and fostered four dogs and worked closely with trainers to deal with obedience, reactivity, and impulse control. As a helper to you and your pet, I will prioritize earning your dog or cat’s trust, being consistent with your routine and training goals, and showing them all the love I have to give. You can count on me, and I’ll aend more photos than you need to prove it! ☺️ I work from home and can adjust my meeting schedule easily. I have two dogs myself and understand how important routine is. As long as we plan ahead, we can make anything work! I offer walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. Happy to care for the plants as well. ☺️ Depending on the distance, I can stay overnight or make multiple daily trips while balancing care for my own fur babies.
“We had a short meet & greet before Lauren cares for Tess this weekend. Lauren is definitely a pro - a “dog person” for sure and experienced managing the process of caretaking in an owner’s home. We have a large dog, a ridgeback, who is protective of her property and her size and bark can be overwhelming for some people. Not for Lauren who had made friends with Tess in about 5 minutes.”
About: I have cared for and trained dogs of all different types, sizes, and personalities. When I moved out on my own, I got two cats and have had them both for four-five years. I understand how important pets are to the families they’re belong to as I have never gone without having one in my life. I’m a stay at home military wife with a baby on the way. I have a flexible schedule as I am looking for something to do part time. Although I wouldn’t be able to pet sit at my own home I am more than willing to sit at your home where the animals are most comfortable as well as taking them out to parks/outs.
“Jaeda did a great job with our golden retriever. She knew just how to manage him on his walks and provided him with lots of petting, as well as playtime. She followed our directions thoroughly and took initiative with providing him with longer walks to calm his energy. She has a natural and caring temperament which really made him feel comfortable.”
About: I truly can’t imagine life without paws! Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion. I take a calm, thoughtful, one-on-one approach to pet care, paying close attention to each pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort level so they feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for while away from home. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities and believe quality care goes beyond basic supervision. Much of my approach comes from my own experience as a pet parent. I spent 15 wonderful years with my dog, Fawn, and 18 years with my cat, Pepper. They taught me the importance of understanding and caring for each pet as an individual.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. • Low-volume scheduling for individualized attention • Routine-based care that respects your pet’s comfort level • Supervised, calm, and structured environment • Clean and sanitized home, with thorough cleaning between stays • Consistent updates for your peace of mind • Safe, stress-free care in my home, yours, or on neighborhood walks
“Geny was dependable, dedicated and very informative while caring for my dogs. She encountered several hiccups which she responsibly worked to correct and my dogs, one of whom is very skittish, love her!”
About: I grew up with many dogs in Northern Minnesota, where I helped my grandma train sled dogs and participate in dog shows. Through that experience, I learned how to care for, train, and understand dogs with different personalities and needs. I am capable of handling all types and sizes of dogs, and would love to help you out! Currently looking for a job, so I’m available every day of the week from 8am-4pm! More than happy to drive to you to give your pup ample exercise. I am very watchful of my surroundings while out with dogs on walks. I am also fairly experienced in reading behavior. I treat every dog like my own and am always looking out for them first.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was very young. My family has always loved animals and we have always loved dogs and cats. We currently have 5 of our own dogs; german shepherd, mastiff, bloodhound, pit/chow mix, and a boston terrier. We also have two cats, one of which has special needs as she is blind in one eye and her leg was injured as a kitten before I took her in. I have experience in training as well as my uncle is a professional dog trainer in the LA area. He has taught me how to train my dogs as well as had me help him when I go visit him. I absolutely love animals and have worked with so many different breeds and sizes and love them all:) I currently work from home, but have a lot of free time on my hands and am looking for work to do in my spare time. I prefer to care for pets in their home as it is an environment they are already familiar and comfortable in. I love playing with all pets so you can be sure they will receive plenty of enrichment. Depending on the owners' wishes, I am more than willing to take pets on walks as well. I also keep a pretty strict feeding schedule for my own pets, so I can fulfill any strict schedules that your pet may have:)
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she’s entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!”
“Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!”
About: All my life I have loved animals. I greet the pet before the human most times lol. Having had a family dog majority of my life, and now seeing all my siblings have their own pets (dogs & cats), I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pet, because pets are family! It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals and be able to provide them a safe space to play, explore, eat, sleep, and be loved on! Animals want to feel comfortable and safe just like humans do, and I am joining Rover so I can help provide this type of care for more loving pet owners 😊 If your dog stays with me we will: go on a minimum of 2 15-30 minute walks, have plenty of play time inside and outside, and be cuddled up on the couch enjoying each other's love. I will also send you plenty of pics with updates of how our time together is going! I want to give your pet the best experience while you are away so they feel okay with the unavoidable time apart. Let me rid you of pet parent anxiety & guilt. Trust that with me, your pet with be safe and have a great time 😊 I work remotely, so I have flexibility between the hours of 7am to 7pm to: pick up or drop off a pet, let a dog out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air, take a dog out on multiple walks and socialize them if their parent wants/allows that, be in the home whenever the pet wants attention and love, stimulate their brain by playing with them, and feed it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to ensure a pet gets the most out of their day! I have been caring for animals most of my life, and I care for them as if they are my own pets. I make sure their needs (food, water, bed/sleeping area) are easily accessible and that I am available to them whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and communal courtyard, making bathroom breaks and outdoor playtime/exploration easy! I also have an open living room and a long hallway making indoor playtime fun and doable! And I have windows that look out onto the street and nature to keep their mind busy on those days the weather isn't the best (and they may not want to be outside). When on walks, I am alert and ensure they are always close to me and in safe situations. I know all the safe foods & medicines cats and dogs can have, as well as the unsafe foods & meds, which I make sure are put away and/out of reach for the animal. I know when to be stern in my tone of voice to discipline a dog when necessary (e.g. out on a walk and they are pulling or I need to get their attention, if they have gotten into something that they shouldn't have, etc.). I want to always make sure the pet is safe from harm when with me. They are like children to me, and I will do anything to protect a child! In addition to ensuring the pets safety, I love to snuggle and give pets all throughout the day, providing the pet with lots of love and comfort. Making them happy makes me happy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Tiera watched my dog Duke for several days and she did an amazing job, she is extremely dependable. She took pictures of my dog. Sent them to me and most importantly she fell all the instructions to a T. I will definitely be using her again and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Stephanie is amazing and treats our baby like her own. She is always on time for drop-ins and makes sure our dog gets a walk, some water, and a midday snack. She plays with him and gives him much love during the visits. We couldn’t have asked for a better helper with our puppy!
Shanae was wonderful for her first visit with our special girl! We really appreciated starting with a meet and greet—it gave us a chance to get comfortable with one another and made the first walk feel seamless. She was warm, professional, and dependable, and she even went above and beyond by cleaning up a small mess on our carpet. I was also incredibly grateful that she accommodated a last-minute request. It’s clear that Shanae genuinely cares, and we’re thankful to have found her. Highly recommend!
Adrianna-Marie has been absolutely amazing. She is 100% professional, very attentive, and great with Bolt. She has taken him on nice long walks and he has been very happy every day he spends with her. I would definitely recommend her for dog walking/check-ins.
Nathalie was a gem to find. She responded to my last minute request. She followed my instructions beautifully and made the process seamless. She even agreed to meet my pup for sitting. She gave me a sense of calm about leaving my Keisha in her hands for the first time. My pup was calm and happy upon my return.
Here’s a polished version of your Rover review that keeps your warm, appreciative tone while making it flow naturally: Krista was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I found myself in a pinch and needed a new dog walker on short notice. From the very beginning, she was responsive, reliable, and truly supportive throughout the entire time she worked with us. We were beyond pleased with the care she provided. She even went above and beyond by cleaning our carpet when our girl had an upset tummy—something we deeply appreciated and did not expect at all. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was in such caring and capable hands. We appreciate Krista so much and look forward to working with her again in the future! 🐾
Lakshme is phenomenal and did a great job taking care of my dog. She's very affectionate, observant, caring, and highly knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. I will certainly hire Lakshme again for future dog sitting and drop in visits!! Thank you very much!
If I could leave Charlie 10 stars, I would. Works extremely well with my anxious Chihuahua. Gentle, kind, very flexible, my pup loves him and looks forward to Charlie’s visits and walks. I would recommend to anyone, whether it’s for short-term or long-term..

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
