“Christina was great! We asked her last minute to watch our pups and she got back to me so fast. Our dogs loved her and she sent great pictures and videos. She stayed till we got home and took great care of the dogs! I look forward to working with her again!”
“Rylee was quick to respond for booking, stayed at our meet and greet to bond with my pups. Emmy loved Rylee while my Riley took time to warm up. We had a small hiccup at start of stay increasing my anxiety but Rylee came through and sent me pics every morning and evening.”
“I contacted Hannah within 10 days of needing her to house sit and watch my dachshund, Buster. She responded in 24 hours and came over for a meet and greet prior to her housesitting. Buster has some pooping/sleeping/eating peculiarities, and she was great with him. I hope to have her again.”
“Caitlyn was amazing! She sent updates twice a day and always replied promptly to any messages sent. She did great with our temperamental cat. She took wonderful care of our pets and home, we came home to our house just as we left it and happy animals. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: Since 10 years ago I’ve enjoyed giving attention to dogs and cats and making them feel happy, active, safe, and giving the attention they want. I am self employed and sole business owner so jumping to a dog or cat need is easy for my schedule. I have high accountability and professionalism being a financial entrepreneur and loving dogs and cats as a side hobby here. I scan the environment and see what they like to do, I watch their behavior and compliment it or help guide them for behavior or their needs. Studying them and then making sure they feel happy, active, safe, and attention given!

Where your animals feel most safe and comfortable.
“I was worried about finding the right person for my recently relocated adoptee who has a bit of a bad attitude. Gabreella was super professional and sweet with Alley. She took care of my house over the holidays and helped make it a less stressful trip for me and for Alley. I definitely recommend her.”
“She is so wonderful, as soon as we met Shayla the girls were already attached, she focused a lot on them during our two visits. She is a wealth of knowledge and good information. When we came home our house as clean as we left it, She sent us numerous pictures and we chatted about things”
“I have an older dog who is a little nervous around people she doesn't know. Joslyn & Damon stayed at our home while we were off island and my Roxy girl warmed right up to them. I would highly recommend them & look forward to using them again on our next trip out of town.”
“We felt Kasey was very trust worthy to leave our 4 month old puppy with for the day. She took him on a couple walks and they played.She sent us pictures during the date which made us feel we left him in good and safe hands.We’d book Kasey again.”
About: I’ve worked at a doggie daycare and been pet first-aid certified. Have grown up with dogs and cats. House sat for neighbors, friends, and family taking care of both dogs and cats, and occasionally bunnies. I’m currently a college student at the University of Montana- Western.

About: My animal care "job" started when I was 5 or 6. I had cats growing up my whole life and I've fallen in love with being a dog mom too. My neighbors would describe me as responsible, kind and patient. I'd love to take care of your critter in the way that you're needing most! I was formerly a caregiver to my grandfather for 18 months. He unfortunately has passed away and my time is completely free now. I'd love to fill my days with dog walks and home visits. For pet boarding in my home, there are separate rooms if needed, a big fenced yard, 2 friendly dogs to play with and 2 cats that likely won't be bothered. I also offer drop-in visits to your home, dog walking and overnight pet sitting. Safety is my number one priority and I hope to build positive relationships with my customers.
About: I have had dogs growing up. I have pet Sat for friends, family and neighbors for about 20 years. I live alone and enjoy taking care of animals I work full time with weekends off.

I have a fenced in backyard that is very large or I can easily crate a pet in my home. I could care for a couple smaller dogs too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laurel on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 143 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurel. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Laurel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Laurel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
