“Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.”
About: I’ve had so many animals growing up, I’ve see them as children not animals. I love cuddling, playing, bathing, and feeding them. I currently have a fur baby of my own. I’m currently looking for a job so Rover will be a little side job I will be doing but until then I’m schedul is completely open. I have a fenced in yard, and I have a fur baby that will definitely keep your little one company he’s very friendly and loves over dogs. If you have any specific rules about your home trust me I will follow them
About: I’ve taken care for all type of animals actually for various families and friends. I have so much skills as to taking them out having safety precautions, and also making sure the animals are taken care of down to the T. Im kind of full time but from after six or before 8 am I am available and I can also work around my schedule since I am a Medical Assistant also! I can surely take care of any animal! I have a clean and safe environment where I can have pets over, I have extra crates and extra everything. I have 4 dogs myself which go to training! I also follow every single order or direction from families! I take it very seriously.
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.
“Brandon did an exceptional job. I would certainly use him again. He promptly took care of all unexpected issues (no fault of his -- all dogs' fault) that arose while I was away and reported to me daily. Brandon is a very nice guy and the dogs liked him very much.”
“Sabine is excellent! She is friendly, thorough and makes us feel at ease while away from our cat. Our cat is shy but warms up right up to her. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have been dog sitting in people's homes for over 15 years. I have watched everything from dachshunds to 100+ pound dogs. I am able to take them on walks, administer medications and follow any special instructions you may have. A pet is a critical member of the family, and I always treat your dog as if it was my own. I work 100% remotely, so I will be with your dog all day long in your home. I am able to walk them, let them out, feed them etc. on any schedule you need to make them comfortable. I focus my entire schedule around your pet's needs. I follow all of the same rules you have for your pets when you are home and require a meeting before the first time I dog sit for you to meet your dog, review your expectations, their food schedules, etc. to make sure everyone is comfortable with everything so you can relax on your time away. I can also send pics of your dogs as often as you would like.
About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾
“Jesse did a great job, once again! Our oldest dog had a pretty major medical event while she was there and I was so grateful for how Jesse handled it. She kept me informed and even stayed with my dogs a little longer to make sure everything was okay.”
“Nichole was wonderful with our cats and cockatiels! She sent us photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for. We will definitely be booking Nichole again for our future trips. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats. I’ve had a pet since I was a child! Right now I have two beautiful boy dogs that I love with my whole heart. My family dog and my own sweet boy. I take great care of all animals!! Pets are what make the world go round most days ! I work either mornings or nights so I can let your furry friend out on a walk a couple times a day before work and even after work! I am always respectful of any home ! I always treat someone’s home the way I’d want them to treat mine. I’m always playing with my dogs, making sure they have water, and food! I always want them to feel safe and happy.
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
“Laura is a great companion and caregiver and trustworthy visitor with our dogs. One of them is really stranger averse and reactive - Laura has helped Reba adjust and connect even letting Laura hang out on the couch with her!! I highly recommend Laura for your pet care needs.”
About: I've cared for several kinds pets for my friends and family since I was 15. I have learned how to train dogs specifically in simple commands such as sit, down, stay, and leave it.

I understand how to care for your pet and how to meet their needs in regards to feeding, walking, exercising, and safety.

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Laurel is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 per visit. 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.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Laurel with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
