“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!”
“Crystal was amazing! I asked her last minute to watch our pups and she was very responsive and communicated amazingly. I was not worried at all when we were out camping without service. I would definitely recommend Crystal to anyone who needs their pets watched and cared for!”
“Shayla did great with my dog + cats! The dog can be very anxious and has specific routines with meds/being left alone that she seemed to do really well with! Shayla was very responsive and provided many photo + video updates. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I am new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for the best creatures this planet has to offer! There are genuinely not enough words to express my love for the beings that love us more than we could ever fathom! I have two cats currently and one of my babies is a senior cat I recently adopted at 9 years old. She has lung issues and I’ve been navigating taking care of her needs while showing both of my babies the attention they deserve. I also had a dog for 13 years before that and he was / will always be the love of my life. I currently work part time and go to school full time but my schedule is very organized and because of school I have the time to hang out with the fur babies while doing school work or finishing up assignments in between so it is a win/win! My care for any pet starts with love! When taking care of our dearest I assess what they need along with any specific instructions that were given. With animals you follow their lead and go with the flow that they give you. Not over thinking and just enjoying the furry friend I have the pleasure of spending time with really sums everything up.
“Molly was wonderful! We will definitely have her watch our dog, Ellie, again. She provided updates/pictures and took great care of her. She also went above and beyond with picking up our home after she had stayed which we greatly appreciated!”
About: I recently graduated college and am looking to earn some extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m newer to Rover, but I have experience caring for friends’ pets, including feeding and checking in on cats, and I’m excited to build more experience! I’m reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I have a cat of my own who I love with my whole heart, so I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and do my best to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’d also love to take your dog on a fun, safe walk! I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that’s a relaxed stroll, getting some energy out, or simply enjoying some fresh air and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I currently work full-time, but I usually work T-F from 7:00-5:30. I am available weekends and before/after work to check in on pets. I can keep a clean environment for pets, giving them anything they need and being mindful of owner requests. I like to make sure the animal has a stress free environment where they can eat, sleep, etc., and do everything they would normally do under their owners care. I do my best to keep them out of trouble they may get themselves into without my supervision. Beyond that, lots of pets and love!
“We will definitely book Hannah to petsit our two dogs and cat in the future. She was very easy to work with and our animals warmed up to her right away. Almost immediately during her stay, one of our dogs escaped through a damaged fence. She contacted us and identified where our fence was not secure. We were able to have a neighbor make a repair. Hannah was calm during the event which was very helpful. She frequently sent pictures of our pets and was kind and professional.”
About: Hello! My name is Jazmin 👋 I own Rugged Paws Training! I offer in-home boarding, walks, drop-ins, daycare, and training! I specialize in puppy care, and reactive dogs! For boarding, dogs are required to be crate trained or able to be crated safely. Intact dogs are accepted! I operate out of a facility for boarding with limited in home options. I can accommodate daycare at the facility Monday and Wednesday through Friday with at home options weekends and Tuesdays. I own my home, which has a fenced in yard and doggy door access to it 24/7. My gates are locked, so that people are not able to walk by and easily let my pets out. I also have an extra-large and small crate available if needed. I have 2 bedrooms that I do not use, which can be utilized for separating the animals. We also have a facility that has a tall fenced space.
“We booked Tyla for house sitting our small “zoo” (2 dogs, bird, and fish). She was kind enough to do an in home visit prior to the job just to make sure it was going to be a good fit. She was kind, professional, well-spoken, and was very good with the dogs. Both our dogs are rescues and one has severe anxiety, especially around strangers. Tyla was patient and kind and it took Sadie no time at all to warm up to her! It was very comforting to know our dogs and house were in good hands while we were away. Tyla also gave daily updates and photos which were very nice as we really miss them when we are away. She took great care of the house as well and it was very neat and tidy when we arrived home. So nice after a long trip! We will definitely use Tyla in the future and would recommend her highly!”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
