“Vatia was great with Cindy! I could tell Cindy was getting plenty of love and snuggles while we were out of town. She also communicated proactively and came out to meet us and Cindy before we left town to ensure we all felt comfortable.”
“Yolanda and her daughter were so sweet and made sure to snap a photo of my cat while dropping in, even though he was being shy. I appreciate her checking in on a holiday and will definitely look to book her again!”
About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.
“Julia is amazing!! She is quick to respond and takes the most adorable pictures!! I also love the notes she leaves with each drop in. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! My dog absolutely loves her.”
“Christina took great care of our lil guy while we were away. She was very timely, sent wonderful pictures, and followed all care/feeding steps to the letter. Without question we’d rebook and recommend.”
About: I have been raised around dogs all my life. My dad bred bigger dogs like cane corsos & i breed french bulldogs. The love for animals, especially pups, should be unconditional, just as theirs is to us!! I train pups as well, notably walking my pup around without a leash when in safe environments. I love any pet that comes into my care! I am self employed as well as an experienced dog breeder. I love pets, cherrish them, & treat them like my children! I spend all day with my pup & take her everywhere. I am self employed from home. I have different arrangements for client preferences including food options, crate options being a cage or a flexi kennel, and a gated area to safely allow the pups to enjoy being pups!
“Matilda left everything in fantastic shape and took wonderful care of Milo. She even filled our bird feeders - which is such good entertainment for Milo! She is always very thoughtful and informative about her visits.”
“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love taking care of dogs. Playing, walking, and feeding them. They really are man’s best friend. I work full time, but telework often. I work 10 minutes from home and stop by for lunch daily. The weekends I’m home all the time. Would give full attention to all dogs. My house is the dogs house. As long as they are house trained, they have full use of the house. Nice big yard to run around. Plenty of trails to go for a walk and stretch their legs.
“Stephanie is AMAZING! I am so glad I found her. I was in search of a new cat sitter and found Stephanie. She recently watched my two kitties and did a phenomenal job. She was always on time, followed all instructions left, communicated with me during her visits, and sent tons of fun pictures. It’s clear that Stephanie loves what she does and has a true passion for taking good care of one’s pets. I will definitely be using her moving forward! She’s great!!!!”
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I begged my mom to get me a dog around that time as well. I promised her I would take care of the dog and do all I needed to do. With that being said I became a pet owner and trained my dog all by myself . From the simple commands, and crate training. I love to treat my current dog(Chloe) like a baby. From cuddles, long walks, nice tasty treats and all the love I can possibly give her. Sometimes I do travel and when I do its hard to find someone to keep Chloe. I realized I can’t be the only one who has experienced this . I am new to the app. I am ready to spread the love in my area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Can’t wait to meet you ! I do work full time Monday-Friday. I have a Hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays . I am open on weekends ! I have a spacious apartment. We also have dog parks in my complex. Lastly my favorite a few different trails/ lakes that I love to walk currently.
About: I’m an experienced kitten foster parent with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve trained my own cats to walk on leashes and master basic tricks, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I meet. I'm a huge dog lover too—and I will definitely ask to pet your dog! I also like all types of animals. I currently have pet fish, but love snakes, guinea pigs, the whole zoo! I work remotely so I can hang around your pet as needed! I can come morning, lunch time or evening to check on your pet. I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule I have experienced coaxing pets with food as needed. I have a good ability to gain pets’ trusts and speak with a calm relaxing voice. I have that vibe animals really love.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, starting with my childhood dogs, Bambi and Canelo. I also grew up caring for a parrot, a cockatiel, fish, and a hamster, which gave me experience with different types of pets from an early age. I currently have a dog named Zara, who has brought even more joy and experience into my life. These experiences have taught me how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other routines your pet is used to. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific schedule ahead of time so I can make their time with me as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, or anything else your pet may need. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and their surroundings to help keep them safe. I’ll also keep you updated during their care with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.
About: Over the past decade, being a pet owner and caring for the dogs of family members when they travel has highlighted a deep, unwavering devotion to dogs. From managing daily routines—feeding, walks, exercise, and health check-ups—to offering attentive, hands-on care when loved ones are away, this ten-year span reflects a clear commitment to animal well-being. Your connection with dogs goes beyond basic caretaking; it is built on patience, trust, and genuine companionship. Whether ensuring a pet feels secure, comfortable, and energetic at home or stepping in to provide family pets with a familiar, loving environment during out-of-town trips, your love for dogs shows through consistent loyalty, affection, and dedicated guardianship. I currently work Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm. I’m looking for mainly weekends. I can also make time as I am a pet parent myself. Every pet in your care receives attentive, structured, and loving attention every day. Daily routines are built around regular, energizing walks that keep them active, healthy, and engaged with their surroundings. Visits to local dog parks provide ample opportunity for exercise, social interaction, and open play. At home, that care continues with dedicated quality time. Whether playing, offering comfort, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, you ensure that every dog feels safe, cherished, and truly part of the family.
“Joshua was fantastic with my cat Athena. They got along famously when he came for a visit, and I was very happy with the updates he shared during my 9-day trip. He was flexible and responsive and I would happily book with him again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every shape and size, from a 13 year old great Dane to the tiniest dachshund puppy. I love all dogs, and believe bad dogs don't exist. I work as hard as possible to ensure the needs of every animal are fulfilled. As a dog mom myself I understand how important it is to leave your fur baby with someone you trust. I work full time as a Veterinary Technician at a local hospital. I have two years of experience, and started completely green, and have now progressed to assisting in surgery and providing dental cleanings and xrays. I have nursed and monitored both cats and dogs through many emergencies, from wounds and animal attacks to various chronic and infectious diseases. I am familiar with signs and symptoms of illness and keep a very close eye on all of my guests for symptoms. I am currently in a remote collage program to become registered in the state of Maryland, and earn the title of RVT. My passion is for senior dogs, and making sure their special needs are met and they're given every bit of love they deserve. One day I hope to be in a position to foster senior dogs, and provide a safe, loving place while they search for their forever home. I work full time Tuesday-Friday, so there is some time any guests would need to be crated. My mother lives next door and can let guests out or simply give them attention when I am unable. The alternative is I am able to take canine guests with me to work, where they can stay with me at the hospital, where I can provide multiple walks a day and round the clock monitoring. I am home all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep any guests company. I also have a cat who is very outgoing with dogs. There is a pool your pup can swim in if they desire, but they will never be left alone around it and all outside time/potty breaks are fully supervised. Inside they'll have access to the living room, where I have couches and beds to lounge on as well as constant access to water and/or food depending on your dog's feeding schedule, and my bedroom where they can sleep on a Big Barker orthopedic dog bed, in their crate, or on my own bed depending on preference. There are also lots of toys spread around the house and yard ranging from ropes, chew toys, squeakers, and balls to chase. As for cats, they will be confined to my bedroom during the day, where I have various beds and climbing furniture for them to enjoy. At night they're confined to a walk in closet I have set up for cats. If they are friendly they are more than welcome to enjoy supervised time with my own pets, but it very much depends on individual temperament as safety of all guests and my own companions is top priority.
About: I have been dog sitting in people's homes for over 15 years. I have watched everything from dachshunds to 100+ pound dogs. I am able to take them on walks, administer medications and follow any special instructions you may have. A pet is a critical member of the family, and I always treat your dog as if it was my own. I work 100% remotely, so I will be with your dog all day long in your home. I am able to walk them, let them out, feed them etc. on any schedule you need to make them comfortable. I focus my entire schedule around your pet's needs. I follow all of the same rules you have for your pets when you are home and require a meeting before the first time I dog sit for you to meet your dog, review your expectations, their food schedules, etc. to make sure everyone is comfortable with everything so you can relax on your time away. I can also send pics of your dogs as often as you would like.
“Sophia was very communicative, responsible, and professional when she took care of my cat, Binx. I felt very at ease being away from home because I knew he was in great hands. Sophia did a great job and I would definitely hire her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Laurel
Marianne’s 12 day visits with our 2 kitties went smoothly, including administering the medicine needed for our older cat. We appreciated the pictures and comments Marianne posted after each visit. The girls were calm and happy to see us. We’ll definitely book with Marianne again.
Tyasia took such good care of our cats the first time that we needed a sitter that we rebooked her when we went on another trip! Booking was a breeze and she gave us fantastic daily updates of the kitties and sent photos. We have one cat who is quite fearful and hid, but Tyasia was able to find her hiding spot and leave her bowl and some treats nearby to ensure she was taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and we are incredibly grateful!
He’s been great about accommodating last-minute requests to check in on our dog and always follows our instructions. Daisy quickly got comfortable with him and really enjoys going on walks with him. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Yasmine is the best person you could possibly have to care for your fur baby! All week I received detailed visit reports and many adorable pictures. First time I had left my 7 year old big kitty but after first visit knew he was in the best of hands! Yasmine even washed the couch cover when he threw up and took out trash/litter which I never would have expected. She figured out his favorite thing is to snuggle on top of you and indulged him. Yasmine will be one I call when need arises and I strongly recommend her!!!!!!
Stephanie is amazing and treats our baby like her own. She is always on time for drop-ins and makes sure our dog gets a walk, some water, and a midday snack. She plays with him and gives him much love during the visits. We couldn’t have asked for a better helper with our puppy!
Shanae was wonderful for her first visit with our special girl! We really appreciated starting with a meet and greet—it gave us a chance to get comfortable with one another and made the first walk feel seamless. She was warm, professional, and dependable, and she even went above and beyond by cleaning up a small mess on our carpet. I was also incredibly grateful that she accommodated a last-minute request. It’s clear that Shanae genuinely cares, and we’re thankful to have found her. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Cameron G. I contacted Cameron on very short notice right before my trip, and he was able to take great care of my cat. He kept me updated with photos during every visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Rosie was happy and well cared for while I was away. If you live in Howard County, Maryland, I would definitely recommend Cameron to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Rosie!
Sarah was kind, friendly, and obviously takes her work very seriously! I was worried to leave my cats for a week but after meeting Sarah, I was very reassured they were in safe, responsible hands. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends and will definitely use her services again.
Adrianna-Marie has been absolutely amazing. She is 100% professional, very attentive, and great with Bolt. She has taken him on nice long walks and he has been very happy every day he spends with her. I would definitely recommend her for dog walking/check-ins.
Madison has been so great! She was consistent, responsible and always on time. Our cats were well taken care of and seemed happy. She gave us status for every drop in visit so we felt informed and at ease. We certainly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Vatia was wonderful and took great care of my kitten, Tody, while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and always kept me updated with photos and messages after each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also handled an unexpected situation with incredible professionalism and kindness, and I really appreciated her understanding throughout it all. I came home to a happy, healthy kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely book with Vatia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Sophia was right on time for the drop-in visits for my two dogs and made sure they got lots of attention and were able to do their business in the yard. We appreciate her flexibility with our semi-last minute request and will be using her services again in the near future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Laurel is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 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 17,108 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North 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 North Laurel. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
