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.

“She was absolutely amazing with Jin! He instantly warmed up to Krista and was extremely happy to see her even after a few minutes 🙂 The update photos were fantastic to see while I was out on a business trip and he was definitely in great hands!”
“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!”
“Delaney responded almost immediately when I put out my request. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. I definitely recommend her and will be booking her services 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 have been an animal lover since I was a little baby! We have always had animals growing up and now as an adult I have two spoiled little pups of my own. I couldn’t imagine my life without these little balls of fur. I make my own schedule so I’m available to love on your pups when needed. I understand the importance of care when you’re away and want to enjoy your trip but still worry about your little ones at home. I have a fenced yard and a dog park near by, however I completely understand if you’re not comfortable with your dog at the dog park. My two pups love company and my significant other is around as well to give extra extra love!

“Matilda is an excellent and very reliable cat sitter. She is well-organized, punctual, and clearly cares about the cat’s comfort and well-being. I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care. Everything was handled responsibly and with great attention. I highly recommend her.”

I have owned pets since the age of twelve. 16+ years of experience working in pet care to include training, boarding/daycare, veterinary medicine, retail, dog-sitting, and dog-walking. Experience in caring for all sizes, rescues, puppies, and senior dogs. Experience with cats, small rodents, and birds too. Can administer oral and topical medications.

Efficiency and communication are key. Progress reports will be given daily.
About: I’ve rescued all but two of the 8 dogs we’ve had over the past 40 years. I wasn’t allowed to have a dog as a child but I cared for neighbors’ and family’s dogs and vowed to never not have dogs. We still have 2 rescues, but now that I’m retired, I have a little extra time to help pet parents with their fur babies. I can drop in to feed, walk, or just lay on the floor to play and belly rub. I’m retired so I’m available most days for feeding and walks. We do travel between homes in MD and DE, so I can be available in both locations. Right now I can't board in-home because my senior dog is very anxious, and I like to protect the safety of my own and other dogs. I'm happy to drop in your home to walk or visit your pups as needed though!
“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.”
“What a great first time experience on Rover with Astrid! She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful; her love for animals really showed. Thank you for taking care of our Mellow!”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, they’ve been a part of my life since I was born. Growing up, I cared for 5 guinea pigs, two horses, fish, and several dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Husky and a Dachshund, both of whom I’ve trained and cared for since they were puppies. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, basic training, maintaining routines, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’m patient when it comes to earning their trust. Whether it’s encouraging a picky eater, keeping an energetic dog active, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a business owner who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home for most of the day and make time for your pet whenever needed. Whether your dog needs extra attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just companionship, I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure they receive the love, care, and supervision they deserve. Your pup will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, plus two friendly fur babies who love making new friends. I provide comfy dog beds, plenty of toys, treats (with your permission), and lots of love and attention. I also enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures, whether that’s a trip to the dog park, a nice walk around the neighborhood, or even stopping for a pup cup. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and has a great time while you’re away.
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.
“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.”
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.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Laurel is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
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..
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!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
