About: I’m the go-to dog sitter for my friends and family. I’ve watched pitbulls, rotties, small dogs, you name it. I had rescue pit mix for 3 years. She was older and I was glad to spend the time I could with her. I learned a lot about separation anxiety, leash reactivity and the impact of positive reinforcement. I work from home and am flexible. Just message me and I’ll respond asap to confirm or reschedule. I don’t have a set time I can provide at this time. I have a cat at home. She’s a bit fearful of larger and high energy dogs. I won’t do dog sitting in my home until I’ve accessed the dog with previos visits. I can drop by and stay for a few hours if you prefer or just drop by for the food/ bio break. Dog walks will always be 1-1. Unless they’re siblings. On leash with plenty of treats and water.
“Kristy watched our two kitties for 2.5 weeks while my husband and I celebrated our wedding and honeymoon. As always, Kristy was absolutely wonderful. Her communication about her visits were outstanding and she even went above and beyond and took care of our plants, retrieved our mail, and even vacuumed and took out the trash. We trust Kristy 100% and the love our cats have for her shows how exceptional she is as a sitter.”
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 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’ve been taking care of smaller dogs since I was 9, I’ve been around smaller dogs such as yorkies and pomeranians, recently I’ve watched/cared for Maltipoos and Mini Schnauzers under a Puppy Yoga Studio. Additionally I’d also like to mention the last few years I got to experience dog sitting for a bigger breed, an American Bully XL to be specific! I’m a full-time grad student in DC, but I reside in Maryland. I do commute to my classes in DC, my classes take place in the evening on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6pm - 10pm. I care for dogs based upon the instructions of the owner and of course with my own discernment and understanding of particular breeds and the behaviors that come with the breed. Nonetheless, love, play, and care will always be shown :)
About: I’m a college student and I’ve been taken care of pets ever since I stayed with my aunt. I learned so many new things of taking care of pets especially dogs. Pet care helps me better whenever I decided to get a pet, I can do better learn how to take care and maintain any pets I can play with your dog with toys you bring, I personally don’t like dogs when in crate bc I believe that they like running around and having fun. I would have take your pet to stroll around and have some fresh air
“Anny is incredibly nice and she did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She sent me photos and updates so I always knew what was going on and went above and beyond, playing with, petting, and brushing my dog not just popping in to dump food in a bowl/rushing the dog outside and leaving.”
About: My experience comes from always having a dog. My family is extremely pet friendly so I’ve always been surrounded by dogs or all breeds. I love their company and personalities. I am able to give basic care such as baths and medication administration. I currently work part time so my availability is random at the moment. I will be best suited for boarding and drop-ins at this time. I have a back yard area that is not fenced however it is away from people. My dogs fo very well staying in the areas because it is pretty big. My dogs are lazy so we do t go on long walks, but I am more than happy to host a playful, energetic dog.
“It was Majdoline’s second time to look after our senior cats, and she did a wonderful job again. It was nice and pleasant to come home to a clean and tidy house and knowing the kitties had been well taken care of. Thank you, Majdoline!!”
“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: My whole life I’ve grown up wanting to own a pet, and have another member of my family. Ever since I got a german shepherd he has been my best friend in the whole world. Taking care of dogs and cats brings me the most joy in the world. I would love to be able to spend time with your loved one(s)!!!! I am an active duty member of the Coast Guard, but, I am available throughout the week to come and take care and give attention to your cat/dog. Ever since I left home I have been missing my dog so much, and have been eager to continue loving animals in my new home! Knowing all information from the pet owner, I will keep all pets safe and happy, and take care of them as my own. And make sure they have a great time and feel loved.
About: I have cared for dogs over 25 years. I have taught my children how to care for and love dogs. Although, we currently do not own any pets- we put our love on your pets. I work from home 5 days per week until 2pm. The children are all home by 5pm when they can walk, feed and play with pets together. I will only care for your dog in my home. When I am home I walk, feed and allow playtime for your dog. We always have fun!!! I ask that your fur baby is caged trained and shots are up to date.
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.
“We had a short meet & greet before Lauren cares for Tess this weekend. Lauren is definitely a pro - a “dog person” for sure and experienced managing the process of caretaking in an owner’s home. We have a large dog, a ridgeback, who is protective of her property and her size and bark can be overwhelming for some people. Not for Lauren who had made friends with Tess in about 5 minutes.”
About: I have a great respect for all living beings. Your boundaries and rules will be top priority while I care for your animals. I am extremely organized and pay attention to detail. No task is too big or too small that I can’t meet!

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember! Friends and family have always noticed my natural connection with animals and have trusted me to care for their beloved pets. Through pet sitting for friends and relatives, I've enjoyed getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get acquainted, discuss your pet's needs, and make sure we're a great fit. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! 🐾 I work full-time, Monday through Friday, and am generally available for pet care starting at 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.

My weekend availability varies, so please feel free to reach out and we can see what works! For overnight stays, I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and make sure my work schedule is a good fit for their needs. 😊 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Having grown up with dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of their needs, behaviors, personalities, and the care it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I'm comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities of dog care and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and routine. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I've also pet-sat for friends and family, giving me experience caring for dogs in different homes and making sure they're safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want someone to give my own. 🐾
“Lakshme did an excellent job with my 2 large dogs and cat. She came over twice to meet them before I left town and that really put my mind at ease that they were going to be ok while I was gone. One of my dogs can be a little nervous around new people sometimes but Lakshme was excellent with her! I never had to worry while I was gone because she sent pictures and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”

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.
Tiera watched my dog Duke for several days and she did an amazing job, she is extremely dependable. She took pictures of my dog. Sent them to me and most importantly she fell all the instructions to a T. I will definitely be using her again and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Nathalie is an outstanding cat sitter. We came home to very happy, healthy, and well loved cats. Nathalie was a great communicator about how our cats were doing and helped us work through getting them used to their new feeders. We loved the daily photos and the clear peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so professionally.
Very grateful for Majdoline. My cats warmed up to her very quickly and she went above and beyond to follow my instructions thoroughly and precisely. I felt very confident leaving my home and cats in her care and appreciated all the photos and updates. Will definitely be reaching out again for my next trip.
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!
Lakshme is phenomenal and did a great job taking care of my dog. She's very affectionate, observant, caring, and highly knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. I will certainly hire Lakshme again for future dog sitting and drop in visits!! Thank you very much!
I'm very happy with the care Kristy gave my cats. She went above and beyond, and I really appreciated how communicative she was and how she provided pictures and a thorough report after each drop-in visit. I would highly recommend her to others and plan to utilize her services in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Laurel is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $42 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 17,391 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South 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 South 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.
