“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”
“Susan did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. She gave updates often and even came over the day before to get to know the dogs. She understands the mind of the dog! She really took the time to understand the best strategy in taking care of our dogs. She is down to earth and absolutely lovely. Thank you, Susan!”
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.
“This is our first time using Heather and she was great! She was really good with Otis, attentive to all his needs and took great care of our home over the three days we were out of town. Absolutely no worries! I will definitely book with Heather again.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals at home and raised my own after college. I grew up caring for neighbors pets and use to watch clients dogs during my summer vacation in college. I also volunteered at shelters over the years. I am currently staying with family to help out after a minor surgery. I have a flexible schedule at this time. In the future I may have other jobs come up. I prefer to stay where the animal is most comfortable, their own home. I also offer visits verse overnight stays for clients comfort. My priority is to make sure your precious pet has the proper care while you are away some you can be focused on your trip knowing everything is good at home.
“Laura took incredible care of our dog and our home. She sent updates and photos and our dog was very happy and our house was in perfect shape when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend and will book again - thank you, Laura!”
“Savanah was able to accommodate last minutes sitting for my Yuengling and she was wonderful. She sent constant updates and pictures. She even went beyond by extending the end time range to accommodate our delays. Would love to rebook with her again when we are in the area.”
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Mandolyn was great with our pup! She engaged him mentally and physically and was a trooper keeping him occupied during several days of rain. She listened, followed instructions and takes her job seriously. Will definitely use her again.”
“Claire was great! I felt very comfortable having her stay with my girls. Girls being Addi, dog and Maggie, cat. My home looked like it did when I left. She also watered my potted plants and collected the mail. Girls looked well cared for and content. I would most definitely recommend Claire and plan to use her again.”
“Amanda took exceptional care for my dog! She recommended me to buy a harness with a chip on the front so she could walk my dog and start training her to not pull!!! OMG I have a different dog!!! Amanda was clean and respectful to my house and spoiled my crazy dog!!! Highly recommend Amanda 🙏”
“Sam is A+++ … She is wonderful with our two small dogs; communicates well; and takes and sends wonderful dog pics. She also took great care of our home while we were gone, leaving it spic n span with clean sheets, etc. Sam is very friendly, helpful and conscientious, and her son is a sweet bonus offering even more gentle care and a second lap for our “lap dogs.” Thanks, Sam & B, for excellent, all-pro service and care!”
“Jessica did a fabulous job. I left detailed instructions and she accomplished each like a pro. This was only the second time I’ve used Rover, and she was gracious and welcoming to show me the ropes. She gave me valuable and insightful feedback when I asked. My dog is high energy, and she kept him busy went on, walks and played with him. I arrived back home to a happy doggie I will definitely book with Jessica again as she feels like part of my family.”
About: I have taken care of everything you can think of, it began when I was 9 years old. My family moved on a horse farm, where we took care of 13 horses everyday. After that my family ran a dog kennel with a capacity of 65 dogs, did that for about 4 years. I decided to branch out and start working for myself. I have pet sat for some years now during that, I have cared for live stock, birds, turtles, fish. I currently work weekends, between 8am-2pm. Unfortunately animals don’t talk so I got a part time job to get out of the house and socialize. I have a fenced in year, plenty of toys, a couple crates, definitely lots of bowls. Some dog beds, along with some blankets. Anything your animal may want I try to have. Of course bring anything that you think would help your doggie adjust.
“Julie took great care of our coonhound, Hadley. We received daily photos and updates and came home to a clean house and happy pup. Hadley is looking forward to Auntie Julie’s next visit!”
“Johnny took fantastic care of my senior dog, Cheeto while I was away & sent me lots of photos and videos to calm my anxiety due to being away. He’s incredibly trustworthy and dependable and will absolutely have you back! Thank you so much!”
“Kara was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs and our home, and she kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, the dogs were calm, happy, and completely settled, which is always the best sign that they were well cared for. The house was also left very neat and clean. Kara was responsible, caring, communicative, and just an all-around wonderful dog sitter. We would absolutely have her stay with our dogs again and highly recommend her!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel Park
Laura was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Kona while we were away and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, kept everything tidy, and even cleaned up before we returned. It was so nice coming home to a happy pup and a clean house! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely use her again!
Mallory took such good care of our doggies and our house while we were away! She was very kind and understanding about our crazy, cuddly poochies and managed to have a good time with them. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week, which helped a lot with missing them. Definitely hoping to hire her again in the future!
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Caitlyn! From the very first interaction, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Leaving your dogs behind is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how our dogs were doing, which meant the world to us. It was obvious they were in the best care while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, keeping everything clean and organized and even handling the house during an unexpected blizzard. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets, look no further. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Olivia was excellent. She took care of my three dogs and they seem to really love her. She gave them all a good walk in my neighborhood which has very steep hills . She was responsive, sent pictures of my pups. She came on Christmas Eve last minute.Definitely will use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
