“Madison watched our dog on short notice for us to leave for a weekend and was wonderful. Super great with our dog, left our house as clean as we left it, and was great with communication and updating us on how our dog was doing. We would definitely use her and recommend her in the future ☺️”
“Tori took great care of our home and dogs. We were able to go away camping for a weekend while our house and dogs were in her safe hands. They played outside and got a ton of energy out. We will be having her watch them again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, horses, and ducks growing up. I love animals of all kinds and any furry friend is always welcome in my home! I am not currently working and I am a stay at home mother so I am basically always free. My son is two and loves animals! We have a ton of toys for your little guy to play with. I also have experience in dog training so we might practice some new tricks! We take frequent walks to the park as well.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal care professional with 15 years of experience as a zookeeper, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for and working with all kinds of species, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior, individual needs, and the importance of patience, compassion, and trust. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior, or simply loves some extra attention, I’m comfortable meeting them where they are and providing care tailored to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as an individual and take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own! I work from home with a flexible part-time schedule, giving me plenty of time and availability to provide attentive care and drop-in visits for your pets. Since I have pets of my own, I primarily focus on drop-in visits. However, I’m always happy to discuss other options to find the best arrangement for you and your pets.
“Isabel is kind, loving and reliable. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our family. Not only did our dogs take to her immediately, but my house was spotless when we got back. She’s the best!”
“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”
About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
“Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Anastasia takes excellent care of our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and are home. We always miss our dogs terribly when we go away, but trust they are well cared for by Anastasia.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and will care for yours like one of my own. I understand dogs needs and wants, and can accommodate any special circumstances. I’ve cared for coworkers and external family pets. My two Australian shepherds love the company and are extremely easy going. I am a hybrid worker that is very flexible. My work is 10 minutes away from home, and I have no extracurricular activities that occupy my time outside of work. I love to take my family and pets on outside walks and runs during my spare time. I follow strict times when it comes to feeding, potty breaks, and sleep. I have a fenced yard that has shade covering for outdoor lounging. Behind my patio there is a grassed field that I always let my pets run around in. Your pet will always stay by my side and be watched with 100% attention. There are 3 floors inside with plenty of space to do indoor activities. Neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet, with tons of tracks to walk through.
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.
About: Hi, my name is Diana, I’m a mom to 3 wonderful humans and two sweet dogs. I have always had a dog at home and couldn’t imagine life without them. Dogs are more than pets, they’re family. As a military family who has moved so much, I know how important it is to find someone loving, caring and reliable to take care of your pets. My goal is to provide a loving home for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m also happy to help administer medicine as I’m experienced in this field. My older dog Lilly has been taking medication for over 5 years. My experience includes taking care of my dogs for over 20 years and helping friends at different bases care for their pets while traveling. I’m a proud AF veteran; homeschooling mom who would love to care for your pups while you’re at work or away. My schedule is very flexible and I’d love to help in any way I can. As a young military member, I worked full time and couldn’t have survived without having someone check on my dogs and take them for walks at lunchtime. If this is your current situation, let me help you with your fur babies. Or if you’re traveling, I’d love to take care of your pups by providing a loving home to them. My kids and I are usually home since we homeschool, we will play with your doggies and will love on them as much as we can. I have a fenced yard and two super friendly dogs. They’re both mixed pups rescued in two different states. My dog Lilly has been with us for 11 years and our youngest pup, Panda has been with us for almost 2 years. They are both vaccinated and have all their ticks and fleas meds up to date. I have crates to put away my pups if needed.
About: I've done dog sitting for 9 years now and have experience with house sitting along with walking pets and doing a first meet before the scheduled date. I am also in nursing school. I currently am in nursing school (last year) since I am about to graduate I do have flexibility that is updated on my rover calendar frequently. I will schedule a time to meet your pet and see what routine is best for your pet and what their needs are in your home to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Kiana was absolutely awesome with my pups! She was very affectionate and attentive towards them. Her communication with me was amazing and I felt so safe to leave my babies with her.”
“Anna was so wonderful for the whole 2 weeks we were gone! she sent pictures and gave us daily updates of our babies! Our flight was delayed and anna was so quick to agree to watch them for one more day! We will definitely rebook with her!!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Laurel Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurel Mills. 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 Mills 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 Mills 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 Mills 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.
