About: I've been caring for dogs and cats from a young age. I've enjoyed pet sitting animals in their homes for family members and friends over the years. I also have experience in freshwater fish tanks and hermit crab habitats. I’m also interested in exploring lizard, snake, and bird habitats. I’m currently at a point where I have a decent amount of free time on my hands and currently don’t have a pet of my own. Looking to help others with their pets to fill the space before choosing a new forever pet I’m very patient and follow instructions well. In the care of others pets I know they are a family member and they would want them treated that way. Safety is always a top priority. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. With love, kindness and compassion.
About: I have a mini Australian shepherd of my own so I know how important it is to make sure a puppy is well exercised. I can’t wait to meet your pup and spend time on a nice walk! I work from home most days so my schedule is pretty flexible! My evenings are usually free as well so I can be flexible based on what works best for you! I have my mini Aussie at home with me and I also have a crate and lots of toys for him to enjoy. I take him on walks all the time so i know what goes into a good sniff walk to get them well taken care of.
“Emily was able to help me out on such short notice, I am so grateful for her! She went above and beyond caring for my old lady, Ruby! Will DEFINITELY book with her again in the future.”
“I have used Madeline on two different occasions and both times she has been reliable and responsive. I know my animals are in good hands with her and will definitely reach out to her again the next time I’m in need of a sitter!”
About: I’m not scared of any size pet big or small i am able to follow strictly and carefully any small note you want me to offer to your pet and take care of them with love I work part time during the weekends so i have the whole week to take care of pets because im making this a business so it’s fully in my control In my home i offer full range of comfortability to all pets to explore but with supervision over them and access to a big yard with also other friendly animals in the area
“Chris is awesome! He helped us out super last minute and we were so grateful. Our old dog has trouble with stairs but we felt very comfortable having Chris help her out. Great communication and sent very cute pics. We will book again!”
“Once again, Angela was an amazing sitter for our cat while we were away for the week! Thoughtful and communicative, she understood our girls unique needs. We came home to a happy and healthy kitty! All pet parents know how hard it is to leave your babies, but the pictures and updates make it easier to feel good about the care they're getting. Thanks so much for everything you do!”
About: I enjoy walking and playing with all dogs! I have own a few dogs and caring for them since I was little. I currently have a Cane Corso. I also current am volunteering at the animals shelter . I am currently home from school and have plenty of time during the day to walk and engage with your dog. I am available Monday through Friday. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and honest reports on the dog’s progress. I’ll use positive reinforcement and patience to help your dog feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of pets. Highly attentive to your pets needs and provide a safe fun filled interactive and loving space for your fur babies. Only boarding services are provided. Dogs are allowed full access to the first floor as long as they are potty trained. If dogs rely on any form of pea pads, they must be crated during bed time and moments that I am not home. I strive to have dogs as crate free as possible so that they can enjoy their stay and have more playtime. For the safety of your fur baby and others verification of the following is required prior to boarding: DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus) Rabies Canine Influenza (H3N8 and H3N2) Bordetella Outside of that…. I own a home in a neighborhood that has ample trails and is highly dog friendly. I have a 9 pound Shihpoo named London who is 3 years old. London is a fun, sociable, and playful dog who has never met a dog she doesn’t like so I hope your fur baby is ready! If your pet has a specialized diet, I am comfortable with that as London gets her meals prepared by us daily. We provide daily photos, videos, and open communication the duration of your pets stay. Thus, allowing you to fully enjoy your vacation at the same time that your furbaby is on a pawstacation.
“Hannah is just fantastic! She leaves very detailed notes, is great with communication and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Our cat, Nico, absolutely loved her and we know she was well cared for. We highly recommend Hannah for the best care of your kitty.”
“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.”
About: I am very detailed oriented and will ensure that your pets walk, sitting or drop in visit will be smooth and seamless. I make sure I follow all instructions and use my discernment from prior experience to ensure your pet is content and happy! I tailor the activities (running, fetch, playing, etc.) depending on the dogs energy level, interest and ability. Almost every dog I have met warms up to me very quickly or eventually during the walk. I will ensure to deliver top notch service to not only you at the pet owner, but your pet as well. I am able to handle a variety of dog breeds, sizes and temperaments. For dogs that most walkers/sitters would be afraid of, or hesitant to work with, k am extremely comfortable. I have experience working with blind, deaf and physically challenged dogs.
“Stefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.”
“Fennel was truly amazing with our puppy, Cooper! They were so attentive and communicative. As new dog parents who work full time, we wanted to ensure someone was there to care for Cooper while we were out of the house. Fennel did that and then some! Above and beyond! Many many thanks to the best dog sitter we could have asked for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We will be booking with Fennel again any time we need assistance!”
“My dog is usually wary of strangers, but Krista took the time to come by before my trip so they could get to know each other. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care after just the meet-and-greet. While I was away, she sent thoughtful updates with pictures and notes that made me feel at ease. She asked great questions, followed (and even went beyond) my care instructions, and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with Krista again if she’s available!”
“We were very happy with Delaney taking care of our sheltie and shih tzu. She accommodated a change in our initial schedule. She also sent pictures while were away to show the boys walking and playing. I appreciated the way the Rover app works with communicating when check-ins occur. We wouldn't hesitate to have Delaney take care of our boys in the future.”
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.
“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.”

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. 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 .

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.
