“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of various different species of dogs and cats within my neighborhood and area since I was 10! I’ve always been an animal lover so many of my neighbors counted on me to take care of their fur babies! Within this years worth experience, I have learned to work with different species of dogs & cats! I am able to work with cats and dogs of different personalities, traits, needs, etc! Neighbors have relied and trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, spend time and show loving to their beloved pets! I’m currently a part time collage student but I still have a lot of time to play, care for and show so much love to your fur babies! I am available Monday, Wednesday, Thursdays, Friday, and Sunday after 12:30 pm!🧡 In my clients home, I always ensure the pets safety! I make sure to check surrounding and keep things out of reach that could harm the animal! I always make sure to introduce myself slowly as I am in their home and allow them to get comfortable with me at their own pace. I always ensure to go through and memorize their routines and feeding schedules. I always respect the home owners home as well and make sure it stays clean!
“Big thanks to Natalia and Edward for taking such amazing care of our two cats! They were very attentive and communicative and made sure everything went smooth while we were away. I could tell my cats were happy and well-loved, which says a lot of the care Natalia and Edward provided. I really appreciated the updates—they kept me totally at ease. I am particularly thankful for the daily pictures and for flagging that one of the automatic feeders wasn't working properly. Reach out to them if you’re looking for trustworthy pet sitters.”
“Connie has been so great! She comes four times a week to take my dog out and give my cat some attention. She always sends the best pictures and funniest note card replies. I definitely recommend Connie she’s great with my pets, quick at responding, open to last minute requests and more importantly, great care giver for the pets”
“Dulaney was great! We left somewhat detailed instructions for our young puppy and older dog and she didn’t miss a beat. She arrived on time and provided good feedback for us after her visit. Would book again!”
About: I've been a go-to pet sitter since I was 12, starting with dog walking as my first real job. Friends and family trust me so much they have referred me to others, and now I've got fur nieces and nephews all over the country. Whether it’s puppies or senior pets, I make sure they feel loved on and happy. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I currently have a cat and share pet duties with my roommate, so I'm used to balancing responsibilities. Plus, I miss being more active, and pet care is a perfect way to stay active and enjoy time with furry friends. It’s a win-win for all of us! I like to learn the pets regular home routine & abide by the rules of the house. From there, it’s important for me to make the transition feel seamless. I give them a lot of love & reassurance especially if I sense their feeling anxious or confused. I also love to incorpore long walks and more active play time to help them expend some energy and hopefully soothe any anxiety. I would determine the right type of activities based on their temperament & guidance from their owner.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve fed, walked, trained, given medications and even IV treatment to all of them. From babies to elderly pets, I have experience with them all. I have open availability any day of the week. I do have 2 children which depending on the time of day may need to come with me. I cannot stay overnight or have any pets at my home. I will feed, walk, give medication to and of course play and interact with your pet and tend to their needs. I know all animals have their own personality and am very patient and will work with all of their quirks and behaviors.
“Christine is super sweet, she was a last minute sitter and I felt comfortable leaving her with my two cats. My litter boxes were clean and topped off as well as food and water. 5 stars ⭐️ would book with her again!”
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.
“Stefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.”
About: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with cat & dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.
“Theresa took excellent care of our boys while we were away. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind hiring her gave us. We will definitely work with her in the future when needed!”
“Maddie is great with our golden retriever. She is very reliable, on time, quickly answers inquiries and sends updates and pictures after each visit. And kind to bring in package delivery off porch. I highly recommend.”
About: I have two amazing dogs of my own. A chihuahua and a black lab both are full of energy and love play. I am use to bigger dogs and small dogs. I love animals and would love to help out with your pets while you are away. Your pets are in loving, caring hands. I would treat your pets with lots of care and love because they are your family members. If you would love to have a caring person take care of your fur babies please contact me below. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask I am more than willing to answer them! I work remotely, my schedule during the day is open and really flexible. This is will allow me to visit your pets whenever during the day. I walk my dogs daily and provide them with a lot of love and care. I pay close attention to their body language and adjust if needed.
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.
About: Been around dogs majority of my childhood. Had my own for 10+ years, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and loved , daily walks, regular feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to routines, cues, and comfort, and I’m someone your dog will genuinely enjoy spending time with Blessed to be in a position where I have extra free time at home. I’d love to use it taking care of my favorite animal! I live in a big 1 bedroom apartment with extra loft space upstairs, my complex has a doggy park outside also! I’m open to leaving pads around the house and all that is requested to make your dog comfortable.
“Taresse was amazing! She was on time, flexible, very attentive to our dog and cat (and gecko) and very responsive. Taresse was very sweet with both our furry pets. She played ball with Loki and even got our cat to come out and get pets/attention. She also was very gracious when there were a few scheduling hiccups that we made on our side. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m patient and attentive when getting to know them. I’m responsible, caring, and treat every pet I look after like they’re part of my own family. I enjoy giving animals plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure their owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have four dogs and three cats of my own. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding, walking, playtime, and cleaning schedules throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention and care they need. Because pet care is already part of my everyday life, I’m comfortable working it into my schedule and being dependable with other people’s pets as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, bathroom breaks, and bedtime routines. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also give regular updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are doing well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Laurel
Matilda is very dependable and conscientious. Our Cat love is very comfortable with her and I can tell because if Milo is stressed, she looses hair on her ears. After being gone over 2 1/2 week and Matilda caring for her, Milo did not loose any hair at all! That might sound silly, but it shows us how much our cat trusts Matilda.
This was our first time using Rover. We were very pleased with our cat sitter, Denise. We enjoyed her reports and photos of Callie and Winston. The pictures show that she got them to play with toys they like and even some they usually don't pay much attention to. We have already booked Denise for when we are away on a longer trip next month.
Rachel has a confident, calm and caring approach to pet care. She is professional, on time and flexible with the needs of each of the dogs and cat (and me!) Rachel took the time to understand each of their personalities and bonded with them, and provided fantastic communication and feed back during the entire booking period.
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!
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.
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.
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 West Laurel is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 17,730 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West 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 West 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.
