“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
“Matilda left everything in fantastic shape and took wonderful care of Milo. She even filled our bird feeders - which is such good entertainment for Milo! She is always very thoughtful and informative about her visits.”
About: Heyy, I’m Nylah! 🐾 I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who understands that pets are family. My goal is to make sure your furry babh feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

I pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and communicative. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and other special care requests. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I am familiar with all breeds!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m currently a full-time teacher, and the last day of school is June 18th. After that, I’ll have much more availability for pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. Until then, I’m available on weekends to walk your fur baby and provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise. As a teacher, I’m responsible, patient, and dependable. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I’ll treat your furry family member like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

“Christopher was fantastic. He proactively set up a meet and greet prior to my trip. We discussed times, feedings. Etc. He was an excellent communicator. Provided check ins for each visit including photos and comments on food consumption and demeanors. I highly recommend for any of your pet sitting needs.”
“Christine was great. She set up a pre-visit to meet Duke before the official visits started. During the visit she constantly updated me about how Duke was doing. She even watered my plants for me! Overall she was awesome”
“Tavian is amazing! Highly recommended him if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets. Very communicative and I loved his daily updates with pictures and videos. I felt at ease knowing Archie was well taken care off and was getting plenty of play time while I was away.”
“Ashley was so courteous, professional and thorough. I felt reassured every day of vacation with each personalized message and picture of Egg I received! My only concern is that my cat might miss Ashley more than she misses me!”
About: I love dogs and because sadly I don’t have one of my own, I like to take my friends dogs for walks! In my free time, I also like to volunteer at animal shelters so I can spend some time walking the shelter dogs before they find their furever homes :) I am currently in between jobs, so I can be available Monday to Sunday for your cat sitting and or dog walking needs! Other times, I usually spend my day spoiling my 3 cat children! I can take care of your cat while you’re away on vacation or running errands. I have had cats for more than half my life, so taking care of them comes very naturally to me.In your absence, I can spend quality time with them so you can feel happy and content leaving for your vacation!
“Alexandra was incredible! She has great communication skills and truly loved my cat like I would when I was away! She is now my go to sitter. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my little baby girl ❤️”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Through trial and error I learned what it’s means to have a friend and be a friend to our furry companions. During my navy career I’ve often been called upon to help my friends by looking over their pets and given there were long training or deployments I’d have to take them in temporarily as one of my own. I realized that they helped me as much as I helped them. I trained my baby since abandoned at four weeks old and from the beginning accident puddle of the floor I was able to established a firm and consistent behavior to communicate with the needs of animals. I obsess and research about animals so I can find a better way of conflicting matters such as behavior and diet. Trust is hard to earn. For repeating clients I can maintain a log of all activity from fun time to health monitoring. I can make a copy if needed for your own personal records. I currently am not working and I’m in Maryland and given the state of the world I have more time dedicated to protecting and helping our fur babies. I care for my clients based on their specific needs and attention first. Whatever is left I am the type to nurture and protect as if they were one of my own. Is your pet afraid of thunder? Don’t worry, I will cuddle up with them to ensure them there is nothing to be afraid of. I know of essential oils and scents to help with anxiety and repel from making an accident. Did it fail? I have a remedy to ensure accidents are cleaned with no damage or odor. I enjoy animal photography so if your own anxiety is high. I will send constant photo and video updates to give goi peace of mind. Or something cute to post on your social media. We’ll have adventures and exercise to ensure they do not become restless.
About: I’m a high schooler and I’ve been taken care of pets ever since I stayed with my aunt. I learned so many new things of taking care of pets especially dogs. Pet care helps me better whenever I decided to get a pet, I can do better learn how to take care and maintain any pets I can play with your dog with toys you bring, I personally don’t like dogs when in crate bc I believe that they like running around and having fun. I would have take your pet to stroll around and have some fresh air
“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
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..
We are thrilled to have Mandi as our new pet sitter! She cared for our hens & cat while we were away. I’m so glad I found her. She has terrific energy. When we met, Mandi had great follow up questions which I appreciated. I’m very picky about hen care. She did a good job tending to cleaning up the hen yard & coop. And, the hens trusted her on day one. Fantastic!! Our cat gets lonely when we travel & many times won’t eat. Under Mandi’s care he was eating well which was awesome. It was nice to see the many instructions I left were followed. She was prompt on getting back to to me. Mandi is 100% lovely. I’d recommend her to friends & family!

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
