“Alexandra is a great Dogwalker. As soon as the car pulls up, Finn is whining at the front door for me to let her in. That says a lot for me. When we open the door, he runs out to greet her so so happy!”

“Alison was awesome! She was able to take our dog out for a last minute walk and saved the day! She sent update pictures and made it an easy process. We’d definitely have her take care of or walk our pup again :)”

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, snakes, hamsters, and fish. My dog experience includes Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, and Boston Terriers, as well as fostering dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs with diabetes who require insulin injections and additional attention to their medical needs. As a Registered Nurse, I’m comfortable following care instructions, monitoring for changes, and providing attentive, reliable care. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and compassion as if they were my own! I am a night nurse. Days are wide open usually. Let me know what you need prior to booking. I can do most times of the day/ week. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stick to their normal routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. As an RN, I’m attentive to details and comfortable following medication and care instructions, including insulin administration for diabetic dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I treat them like family and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Samantha did a great job with our energetic puppy! We’re very grateful for her quick and clear communication. Our puppy is still learning to walk nicely on a leash and she did a great job walking him. Thank you Samantha!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life and have experience with dog walking, bathing, and dog park trips and just love to be around dogs! I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to walk and take care of your dogs! Weekdays and weekends are available and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have a large crate if you would prefer they be separated.
“Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I was raised with dogs, birds, and fish. When I moved out on my own I had bunnies and two rescue dogs. We had our rescue dogs until the end of their lives at 13 and 14 years old. My children are elementary - middle school age and are great with animals. We miss having a pet around the house, but with our travel schedule it's simply not responsible to have a pet full time. We would love to open our home to your pets while you are away. We have experience with puppies, rescues, and seniors. We have a steady home routine, and pet care fits naturally into it. Being home throughout the day allows us to offer regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet supervision. We approach care thoughtfully and make sure each pet feels secure and part of our household rhythm. Our home is kept clean and organized, and we’re intentional about safety. We limit the number of pets we accept so each one receives attentive, individualized care. Whether a pet is social and active or more reserved, we adjust our approach to match their personality while maintaining consistent routines to help them feel secure. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and have a backyard.
About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.
About: I worked as a pet care specialist at a pet resort and worked there for two years. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am used to giving medications, dealing with different breeds, feeding and walking as well as temperament levels. I have a dog of my own who is my world. I promise to treat your pet like they are my own and to be organized and caring when it comes to every aspect of taking care of your pet. I have been around all types of dogs and cats as well. I’m willing to take the time to learn about your pet and do whatever care they need in order to be comfortable and safe. I will always do my best at all times. I work full time during the week but am available for overnight stays during the week and weekends as needed. My work schedule is 8-5pm. While Petsitting in the clients home, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and others while out and about on walks as well as maintaining the safety of the clients home.
“Mel did an outstanding job with our dog, Buster. She did everything we asked her to do, but most importantly, she truly loved our pet. We will be calling on Mel for future dog sitting! Thank you Rover for helping us find her!”
About: I'm a 33 year-old animal lover with a special place in my heart for bully breed dogs. I recently took over a year-long break from sitting through Rover after getting my own animals, but continued sitting for friends during that time. I'm so excited to be back on here! My favorite part of pet sitting is keeping or getting the animals on a set routine and learning their favorite toys and scratch spots, as it always helps with their adjustment from their parents being gone. I am big on walks with dogs and making sure I schedule play time throughout my work day to ensure your animals are getting enough attention and exercise. I currently work primarily from home, but must be in-office Wednesdays; which is why you'll find those days blocked off. If your animals are okay at home alone for work days, I'm happy to discuss the area I work in that way we can figure out whether or not the potential commute would leave your babies at home too long. I will do my best to make adjustments to meet the schedule of your pets, but will also be transparent if something comes up or if I don't feel the schedule can be accommodated. How you take care of your babies is how I strive to take care of them as well. I will work to keep them on their current schedules with walks, food, potty breaks, exercise, and attention. Please feel free to let me know if there is a favorite toy, favorite scratching spot, or favorite snack and I will make sure to prioritize those in their interactions with me to help them adjust.
About: I grew up with a dog when I was really little. Growing up I dog sat and walked for my neighbors many times. Led me to be an all around animal lover, which is why I am an environmental studies major at VCU. Currently as college student at VCU(one class everyday Monday-Thursday), my weekends are usually open all day. I am used to waking up early but also very flexible. I like to take note of small habit and dos and don’ts to look back and be thorough in pet care. I am well versed in what dangerous for pets as I grew up with pets and have lived with both cats and dogs.
About: I’ve had up to three dogs most of my life growing up, feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and cuddles! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your puppies :) I’m available all day about two days during the week and all weekend! I am pretty flexible with hours and can help with whatever needed! Whether that’s let the dog out or come and play with the puppy, etc.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Laurel. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Laurel after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laurel. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
