About: With years of hands-on experience in pet care, I am dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have cared for a wide range of animals, tailoring my approach to meet each pet’s specific needs and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands while they’re away. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by being a flexible and rewarding part of my schedule. I prioritize my time to ensure that each pet receives the attention and care they need, whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply spending quality time together. I enjoy tailoring my routine to meet the needs of each pet, ensuring their well-being and happiness. This not only allows me to provide excellent service to pet owners but also gives me the opportunity to connect with animals, which I find fulfilling and enjoyable. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a comfortable and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. By adapting my approach to the specific environment and needs of each pet, I aim to provide them with the best possible care and ensure their happiness and well-being.
“Madison has been so great! She was consistent, responsible and always on time. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed happy. She gave us status for every drop in visit so we felt informed and at ease. We certainly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Connie is my go to sitter for a very good reason, because my experience with her over the last four years has been exemplary. I trust her with my fur baby family without reservation. On my last trip my baby Mylah had a crisis with a chronic disease and Connie went above and beyond to get my pet the help she needed. Because of experiences like this, I know she treats my furry kids like her own. She is an amazing person and I trust her completely when it comes to my furry family.”
“Fennel took such good care of my Luffy while I had night classes. They went above and beyond even walking him longer when the weather is nice. I hope we get the opportunity to use their services again! Thank you Fennel!”
“I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.”
“Jodi was exceptional and took wonderful care of our two senior kitties while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, was alwayd qucick to respond, and just the easiest person to get along with! We look forward to booking her for future cat sittings. :)”
“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”
“We’ve had Olivia do drop in visits with our two dogs twice now so far and she has been amazing! She is very responsive and has been extremely helpful with us learning rover. Our two dogs are usually not the best with new people and are reactive, but she has been absolutely wonderful with them.”
“Very grateful to Taresse for taking such good care of my cat during my last trip. Taresse did a very good job feeding my cats and giving them medications. They looked happy and well cared for when I got back.”

About: Animals are such a passion of mine and I care for them as if they were my own. I truly put my all into taking care of them and making sure they have a blast.

“Lakshme did an excellent job with my 2 large dogs and cat. She came over twice to meet them before I left town and that really put my mind at ease that they were going to be ok while I was gone. One of my dogs can be a little nervous around new people sometimes but Lakshme was excellent with her! I never had to worry while I was gone because she sent pictures and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Erin was the absolute best! This was my first time requesting a service at my home and I was truly nervous about trusting someone. I was immediately put at ease during my introduction meeting with Erin and had complete trust she would take the best care of Rocky. She sent pictures of him and what they did on the visit. I was able to see how happy he was and well taken care of while I was out of town.”
About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 14. All of my family and friends come to me for any form of pet care. I genuinely enjoy every time I get to take care of any furry friend. I currently work part time at an animal hospital so I always have a vet on standby lol. I only usually work 20 -25 hrs a week so I am available to take care of my furry friends in between my schedule. My only off days are Sundays and Fridays from 7pm-10pm. I take all house rules very seriously and treat all pups with the proper care that is directed. As a dog owner myself I understand wanting to treat our pets with the utmost care.
“Joshua was fantastic with my cat Athena. They got along famously when he came for a visit, and I was very happy with the updates he shared during my 9-day trip. He was flexible and responsive and I would happily book with him again.”
“I booked Kyah for drop-in visits during last week on my cat Mimi. My regular and truated Rover pet sitter was out of town. Kyah and I agreed on a first get to know meeting before confirming the booking request. After the meeting it was clear that Kyah had our trust. During my absence Kyah always updated me. After this experience I can highly recommend Kyah”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
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.
Esosa was amazing! From the moment she came to the meet and greet, I knew she would be a great fit. My dog has a lot of high energy, but she was so patient and willing to be gentle with her. She was punctual and made sure she showed up when she was supposed to. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had everything she needed, and I was so touched by the photos she left and her handwritten note. I’ve never had a caregiver on Rover do such a thing. I would recommend her to everyone.
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..

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Laurel stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 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.
