“This was the second time we've hired Tyasia to come and drop-in on our pup and bring him outside in the backyard. Tanky is always so happy when Tyasia has come by. Don't hesitate to choose Tyasia, your animals will thank you :~)”
“Christine is super sweet, she was a last minute sitter and I felt comfortable leaving her with my two cats. My litter boxes were clean and topped off as well as food and water. 5 stars ⭐️ would book with her again!”
“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: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I begged my mom to get me a dog around that time as well. I promised her I would take care of the dog and do all I needed to do. With that being said I became a pet owner and trained my dog all by myself . From the simple commands, and crate training. I love to treat my current dog(Chloe) like a baby. From cuddles, long walks, nice tasty treats and all the love I can possibly give her. Sometimes I do travel and when I do its hard to find someone to keep Chloe. I realized I can’t be the only one who has experienced this . I am new to the app. I am ready to spread the love in my area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Can’t wait to meet you ! I do work full time Monday-Friday. I have a Hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays . I am open on weekends ! I have a spacious apartment. We also have dog parks in my complex. Lastly my favorite a few different trails/ lakes that I love to walk currently.
About: I’m an experienced kitten foster parent with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve trained my own cats to walk on leashes and master basic tricks, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I meet. I'm a huge dog lover too—and I will definitely ask to pet your dog! I also like all types of animals. I currently have pet fish, but love snakes, guinea pigs, the whole zoo! I work remotely so I can hang around your pet as needed! I can come morning, lunch time or evening to check on your pet. I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule I have experienced coaxing pets with food as needed. I have a good ability to gain pets’ trusts and speak with a calm relaxing voice. I have that vibe animals really love.
About: Over the past decade, being a pet owner and caring for the dogs of family members when they travel has highlighted a deep, unwavering devotion to dogs. From managing daily routines—feeding, walks, exercise, and health check-ups—to offering attentive, hands-on care when loved ones are away, this ten-year span reflects a clear commitment to animal well-being. Your connection with dogs goes beyond basic caretaking; it is built on patience, trust, and genuine companionship. Whether ensuring a pet feels secure, comfortable, and energetic at home or stepping in to provide family pets with a familiar, loving environment during out-of-town trips, your love for dogs shows through consistent loyalty, affection, and dedicated guardianship. I currently work Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm. I’m looking for mainly weekends. I can also make time as I am a pet parent myself. Every pet in your care receives attentive, structured, and loving attention every day. Daily routines are built around regular, energizing walks that keep them active, healthy, and engaged with their surroundings. Visits to local dog parks provide ample opportunity for exercise, social interaction, and open play. At home, that care continues with dedicated quality time. Whether playing, offering comfort, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, you ensure that every dog feels safe, cherished, and truly part of the family.
About: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with cat & dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.
About: My whole life I’ve grown up wanting to own a pet, and have another member of my family. Ever since I got a german shepherd he has been my best friend in the whole world. Taking care of dogs and cats brings me the most joy in the world. I would love to be able to spend time with your loved one(s)!!!! I am an active duty member of the Coast Guard, but, I am available throughout the week to come and take care and give attention to your cat/dog. Ever since I left home I have been missing my dog so much, and have been eager to continue loving animals in my new home! Knowing all information from the pet owner, I will keep all pets safe and happy, and take care of them as my own. And make sure they have a great time and feel loved.
“Erin has been great visiting Milo! He likes her and always seems well rested when I get home. She is communicative and takes great photos. I would definately reccomend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve fed, walked, trained, given medications and even IV treatment to all of them. From babies to elderly pets, I have experience with them all. I have open availability any day of the week. I do have 2 children which depending on the time of day may need to come with me. I cannot stay overnight or have any pets at my home. I will feed, walk, give medication to and of course play and interact with your pet and tend to their needs. I know all animals have their own personality and am very patient and will work with all of their quirks and behaviors.

“Connie took great care of our cats, including a diabetic requiring insulin injections and one with special bathroom needs. She was very reliable, on time, and communicative. Appreciated the detailed Rover cards with information and photos. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, starting with my childhood dogs, Bambi and Canelo. I also grew up caring for a parrot, a cockatiel, fish, and a hamster, which gave me experience with different types of pets from an early age. I currently have a dog named Zara, who has brought even more joy and experience into my life. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule ahead of time so I can make their time with me as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet may need. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and their surroundings to help keep them safe. I’ll also keep you updated during their care with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
“Xianting was very patient and professional and monitor the conditions of my cat closely. It was our first time using rover and we immediately love Xianting and would love to come back to her again. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
About: I have had cats since 2018, when we went to a shelter and found a little orange fluff hiding under another cat. Since then, my family has accumulated a gang of 8 cats! Some younger, some older, I have experience with kittens as well as older cats. I don’t have as much experience with dogs, just occasionally walking them but I am looking to learn and happy to tend to every pet’s needs! I am available late evenings and on weekends for any needs and to meet all the fur babies! I have a full time job, but I am free after 4-5 PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends. I will follow any specific needs your pets need. At home, I have 2 cats who love to chase each other around. They have space to roam, and they are indoor only!

Marianne’s 12 day visits with our 2 kitties went smoothly, including administering the medicine needed for our older cat. We appreciated the pictures and comments Marianne posted after each visit. The girls were calm and happy to see us. We’ll definitely book with Marianne again.
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.
Nathalie is an outstanding cat sitter. We came home to very happy, healthy, and well loved cats. Nathalie was a great communicator about how our cats were doing and helped us work through getting them used to their new feeders. We loved the daily photos and the clear peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so professionally.
Yasmine is the best person you could possibly have to care for your fur baby! All week I received detailed visit reports and many adorable pictures. First time I had left my 7 year old big kitty but after first visit knew he was in the best of hands! Yasmine even washed the couch cover when he threw up and took out trash/litter which I never would have expected. She figured out his favorite thing is to snuggle on top of you and indulged him. Yasmine will be one I call when need arises and I strongly recommend her!!!!!!
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!
Very grateful for Majdoline. My cats warmed up to her very quickly and she went above and beyond to follow my instructions thoroughly and precisely. I felt very confident leaving my home and cats in her care and appreciated all the photos and updates. Will definitely be reaching out again for my next trip.
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.
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.
Vatia was wonderful and took great care of my kitten, Tody, while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and messages after each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also handled an unexpected situation with incredible professionalism and kindness, and I really appreciated her understanding throughout it all. I came home to a happy, healthy kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book with Vatia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laurel is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,099 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laurel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
