“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristy! This was the first time I had ever left Kofi for an extended period of time. From the moment I met her, I could tell how genuinely caring, patient, and experienced she is with dogs. Her husband was also wonderful and clearly helped make Kofi feel comfortable and loved during his stay. While we were out of the country, she and her husband went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent incredibly thorough updates throughout the day with photos, videos, and detailed messages that truly gave me peace of mind. I didn’t have to wonder how he was doing because she kept me so informed and reassured the entire time. What meant the most to me was how patient and understanding she was with him. Kofi is very attached to me and takes time to adjust, but she treated him with so much kindness, gentleness, and love. She truly cares about the emotional well-being of the dogs she watches, not just the basic care. Because of this, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was safe, happy, and in such capable hands. She truly treated Kofi as her own dog, like family, and cared for him exactly the way a loving dog mom would. Thank you, Kristy!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Rex and Roxy overnight, but Qingbo put me at ease right away. They stayed at her place, and she was so attentive the whole time. She sent plenty of photos and updates, so I never had to wonder how things were going, and she was thorough with the information she shared. It was clear my pups were in really good hands. I came home to two happy Yorkies and a lot of peace of mind. I'd absolutely book Qingbo again!”
“Hello this was my first time boarding my pup Tyson and when I say it was an excellent experience from beginning to finish. Crystal S. sent me pictures and updates on his stay and the pictures was amazing just and relaxing laid out on her mats. She has everything you puppy will need and that put you at ease. I will be booking again. I love the quality work and love she expressed to my pup pup! Till the next time. Continue the excellent service you provide.”
“Sandra was great! Our dog, Ted, was excited to spend time with her, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy in her care. We really appreciated her kindness, reliability, and the attention she gave him. Highly recommend!”
“Cal was amazing. He was warm and welcoming to my pup and me - and clearly is comfortable and experienced with all kinds of dogs. He sent me a ton of pictures and videos - which showed how much fun my pup was having. I can't thank him and Kelly enough for watching my dog while we were away. The constant communication made me comfortable that my pup was being well cared for while I was gone. Will certainly reach out to him again next time we have to leave town without my pup.”
“Asfer was quick to communicate and able to accommodate Izzy on short notice. He was super nice and clearly loves pups! Izzy was well cared for, and I really appreciated his flexibility. Would definitely recommend him!”
“My dog means world to me & I Strongly recommend Marlin G. , she absolutely gave me peace of mind… she constantly updated me & making sure he is all good & loved. I give Marlin 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks alot 🙏🥰🙏”
“Blu was soo excited to spend time with Mr. Yasheen! We are thankful for the photo and video updates. It’s a joy to know Blu continues to be taken care of well. She returns happy and ready to resume her routines.”
“Malik took excellent care of my dog, Blue. He followed the care directions that I provided him with. He sent pictures of Blue every day. He communicated quickly and efficiently with me and answered all of my questions. Malik went above and beyond with making sure that Blue was well cared for and loved on while I was away. Blue returned happy and in good spirit. I will definitely have Malik dog-sit Blue again in the near future!”
“Bailey and I were very happy with Jasmine’s care. Bailey has separation anxiety + generalized anxiety and usually gets sick when returning home. From the first time he saw Jasmine he was very comfortable with her. I give Jasmine her 10s.”
“Angela was so very warm, welcoming, and kind to our puppy. Minnie took to her right away, and because of the meet and greet, she knew exactly where we were going when we dropped her off. Angela was very thorough, asking all the important questions, and she even let my daughter visit to say hi to Minnie.”
“Lila was absolutely awesome. Daily picture updates and great timely communication. My dog initially had trouble adapting but Lila went above and beyond to help make her feel comfortable. I would recommend anyone to Lila for pet sitting.”
“Nadia did a great job watching Oreo at her home. She communicated with me and sent pictures of Oreo . I felt assured he was in good hands and would definitely book again in the future!”
“The nicest! Phill cared for our dog, he didn't just keep her while we were gone. Thoughtfully communicated how she was adjusting to her new surroundings, and was engaged with her to learn her personality. Our girl is a 50lb Micro Bully and he had no trouble with our lil' tank, adjusting her walks so she could manage the summer heat. We're grateful, Phill. Thank you!”
“Shane & Brittany were wonderful with our two young dogs, one of which is XL with a lot of energy. They sent lots of photo updates and were very flexible with pick up/drop off times. We are so happy to have found Shane & Brittany!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Laurel
I would give 10 stars if I could! Qingbo was absolutely wonderful and treated our pup so well in our absence. She sent updates, videos and photos regularly, which helped me since I’d never left our pup with anyone before. I can’t say enough great things about Qingbo, if you’re considering booking her, she’s amazing!
My dog Chai is always in great care with Fredis! Always my first choice for her sitter. He's very quick to reply and confirm sitting appointments and updates on Chai during her stay. Very flexible as well had been accommodating and communicated well about flight delays and pickup person/time changes when discussed in advance.
Tanisha is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! I’ve used her three times now, and every experience has been great. She is incredibly reliable, caring, flexible, and always willing to accommodate my last-minute requests, which I truly appreciate. Whenever I’m away, she stays in touch throughout my entire trip and sends daily pictures and videos of Kash. Those updates give me so much peace of mind because I can actually see that he’s happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. Most importantly, Kash absolutely LOVES being with Tanisha and her family! He’s always excited and in a great mood when I drop him off, and he comes home just as happy. That tells me everything I need to know about how well he’s treated while he’s there. After three stays, I can confidently say that I completely trust Tanisha with Kash. She treats him like part of her family, and I never have to worry when he’s in her care. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. **Best dog sitter ever!**
We had a great experience with Lakshme! She took wonderful care of our dog while boarding her for a week. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands, and it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Aundrina came to the rescue when I needed someone last minute to board my furbaby when I was out of town and couldn’t get back in time to get to him. She really took care of my fur baby! She was responsive within minutes, sent updates I’m very grateful and he clearly loved his time with her and the family. Highly recommend and would definitely use her services again!
Tianna was an OUTSTANDING choice for our fur baby Syre. She was very responsive and kept us updated during our trip which put our mind at ease. We did a meet and greet before the stay for Syre to become familiar with the house and Tianna was just as pleasant then as she was during the entire process. Should we need someone to keep Syre again, Tianna will be our first choice.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in South Laurel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Laurel home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Laurel.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Laurel. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your South Laurel sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
