“Abigail was absolutely fantastic watching our dog Sadie! She was communicative, gentle, kind, and treated our pup with the same love we do. Abigail sent regular updates and photos, which let us know Sadie was in great hands and loving life! We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone needing a sitter and will definitely be reaching out for any future needs!”
“Alexis was fantastic! She sent so many photos throughout our trip and took great care of our home and our babies. Photos of our pups were always happy and joyful and it was a great relief to be able to spend time away knowing they’re well taken care of and happy! I will definitely have to be on Alexis’ regulars list for pet-sitting and house-sitting.”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Erica was fantastic! She and her daughter watched our dogs for two nights, and we couldn't be happier. They took them on walks and played with them, and it was clear they were incredibly well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, providing us with multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. We'll definitely be booking Erica again!”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
“Hanna was amazing with our two Aussie pups! They were pretty anxious with the fireworks, but she did everything she could to keep them calm and comfortable! She gave great updates with pictures throughout the whole weekend, which made me feel much better about leaving our pups at home! She played with them a ton in the backyard (the time lapse videos showed two very happy pups) and even worked on some training with them. We will certainly book with Hanna again!”
“Hannah was great to work with! She provided updates and photos daily or every other day while we were gone and let us know what was going on (no problems, thankfully!). When we got back the house was in order, everything was clean and obviously well cared for, and Hannah even laundered the bed linens and remade the bed! Litter boxes were cleaned and litter swept off the floor. Really appreciated all of her efforts and the obvious care she showed for our two little miscreants and for our home. We will definitely have Hannah help us in the future when we need cat sitting/ house sitting!”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“We left our dog and cat in Haleys's care for six days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog is very anxious around new people, but he warmed up to her quickly—which is a huge deal for him! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both happy and comfortable at home. Haley is absolutely wonderful, professional, and clearly has a gift with animals. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ayalene was great! I have a high energy Australian shepherd that has some separation anxiety and can be reactive on leash. She handled everything with ease and followed all my instructions! My dog and cats were super happy, the house was clean when returning, and it felt great knowing my pets and house were safe! Thank you Ayalene for all your help! I would absolutely recommend her and book her again”
“Allyson stayed at our house for a week and watched our dog cam. She was beyond amazing at taking care of Cam and went above and beyond washing the sheets in the house before she left. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“This was our second time booking with Kelsea for a 10-day sit, and she did amazing again! She pulled all the stops taking care of our dog who had a minor illness, including making a sweet potato, carrot, and peanut mash for he and his sister. She sent plenty of photos of them cuddling with her, so there was no doubt that they were ok without us there! We came back to a perfect house, too. Thank you, Kelsea!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurelwood
Chloe has been watching our pups for YEARS now and we love her so much! She keeps the dogs fed and walked and sends so many pictures of our babies! Every time we come home the house is clean and organized like she was never here! Our dogs love her so much and we wouldn't want anyone else watching them! She'd be the best for any pet!
Our 3 dogs were so happily cared for by Chloe they hardly noticed when we came home! And despite the three days of rain and mud, all three (doodles) were clean, dry, and as beautiful as when we left. Our house was also well cared for. We recommend Chloe and so do our pups!

FAQs for House Sitting - Laurelwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laurelwood. 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 Laurelwood 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 Laurelwood 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 Laurelwood 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.

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.
