“Alexandra (Lexi) was AMAZING. The dogs fell in love with her right away and she was such an overall joy to interact with. She was very communicative, flexible, and super caring. Could not recommend her more for your pups!”
“John came to check in on our two cats during a long weekend. Every day, he was punctual and provided a written summary of how they're doing and how they behaved during the check-in, along with pictures. He is very respectful of the space within our home, and is an excellent communicator. While our cats are still learning to adjust to John's presence, he expresses an eagerness to make this transition easier and more comfortable, learning to adjust his own approach with each visit. We look forward to John's check-ins, in the future.”
“Shelby was great! She was available last minute to stop by to feed our cat, and was very professional and had great communication! Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. She was punctual and patient with my shy babies. She made sure Chasie took his medicine and was able to pet Gracie who others have had a hard time finding. She was tidy, cleaned up messes and brought in packages. Her communication and updates were perfect, putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets and we will be booking again soon.”
“I have used 2 other Rover sitters in the past and Laura is by far the best. She communicates well to make sure she understands and is informed on your specific pets needs. She is timely for check-ins and takes great photos. I appreciate her professionalism. She clearly respects our space and home while she is caring for our cat. Our old cat is always happy and well cared for when we return home after Laura has been our sitter.”
About: As a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion and attention to detail naturally extends to animals.. I know your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same patience, love, and vigilance I’d want for my own. Whether it’s keeping them on their routine, giving medications, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship, my goal is to keep them safe, healthy, happy, and loved while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind. I believe your pets deserve my undivided attention. That’s why I only accept one family at a time. My hybrid work schedule allows me to work from home two days per week, and I can often adjust those days to be home even more with your pet. Depending on how far your home is from my office, I am also be able to come home for lunch for walks or playtime. If your pet is happiest in their own environment, I’m happy to provide care in your home. I can care for multiple dogs, cats, or a combination of pets, and I’m also open to caring for other animals. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I’d love to learn about your needs and how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family members. Let’s chat and create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pets!
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.
About: Hi there! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, bunnies, fish, and even a bearded dragon! No matter the species, I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. In middle and high school, I spent three summers interning at a local veterinary clinic, where I gained hands-on experience with animal care. Since then, I’ve completed courses in animal welfare and pet first aid, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe hands. At home, my dog Bonsai participates in Duke University’s Canine Cognition Center studies. Training her in tricks and agility has taught me so much about patience, positive reinforcement, and how to keep pets mentally and physically engaged. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or sticking to a feeding/medication routine, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I do have a couple of class/work commitments during the week, but outside of those I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I look to provide the best standard of care I can and maintain open communication! By providing updates with each visit, pictures of your pet, and keeping records of your pets activities I hope to keep your worries at bay.
“Corinne stepped in last minute when we found out we needed a sitter for our 2 big dogs. She did a great job keeping us updated and taking care of our two crazy pups.”
“Ciarra took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away. One of our cats has diabetes so it was critical we found someone with experience administering insulin shots. She took extra time to pet them and play with them and gave us thorough updates. I will definitely book her in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Jaimie did an amazing job! She is on top of it! We booked her for 3 drop in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in touch, sent pictures, was pro-active in regards to making sure the dogs got what they needed and communicated promptly. I will book her again. She's wonderful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Kelly was honestly, heaven-sent for us today. She showed up enthusiastically, with the right amount of compassion and purpose that allowed Chelsea to trust her quickly. She was accommodating and happy to help in any way she could. I could not have asked for a better match!
Cathy Jo has been so warm and wonderful to work with! Within the first few minutes of meeting her, it was very clear that she is confident in what she does and has a lot of experience in dealing with many different pets and needs. Even when I had to unexpectedly cancel the remainder of our visits, she was very understanding and flexible. Will most definitely be using her services again in the future!
Amanda is awesome! I have very shy cats. Amanda took the time to try and get to know them. Even my cat that hides came out for her. Everything was perfect when I got home from my trip. She was very communicative and sent daily pictures. I would highly recommend Amanda!
Ali is a very friendly person, and my Lucy went straight to her and was very comfortable with a new potential sitter. I have never left Lucy with someone I didn’t know. Ali came on the agreed upon schedule. She left notes on the Rover Site each time and included previous pictures. Lucy seemed perfectly content with her new visitor. She ate well and seemed happy in each picture. I will definitely use Ali again and recommend her to pet families!
Laura kept our dog for a week and did an excellent job! She exceeded our expectations by walking him on every visit and sending us detailed updates and lots of pictures. We were nervous about leaving him for an entire week, but Laura really kept us at ease with her constant updates. We will definitely use her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laurel is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 2,575 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
