About: I have experience with senior pets all the way to new born babies! Additionally, I have experience with other animals such as amphibians, farm pets, to fish! I am CPR certified and capable of administering antibiotics. I've taken care of my pets ever since I was a kid (I'm 20 now)! I am very ambitious about animals and showing the love and care they need. I have 4 fur babies that are wonderfully taken care of! I have 3 Dachshund mixes, and a German Shepherd mixed with a Great Pyrenees! My schedule is always open! And if not, I have no problem with setting that line of communication with my clients to be able to meet their needs and their pets needs! I have a retractable leash for the smaller dogs and a regular leash for the bigger dogs! Additionally a portable water bottle for hot walks! If no walks are needed? I have no problem spending time with either dogs or cats in the safety of their home environment!
“Laurel was awesome with my babies and she communicated very well all that was happening. This was the first time I used a service such as this and she made me feel very comfortable and confident that my babies were being taken care of. I will be using rover.com again in the future!”
“She did an amazing job with all my animals. She was there on time to check up on them and followed all instructions for them. The pictures sent and communication was spot on. My cats can be very skittish around new people but they took to her well. I will definitely be using her again and will be one of my first to call when I need a sitter or a dog walker.”
About: I am an avid animal lover with experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, and more. I have expirience pet sitting and dog walking as well as dog obedience and agility training with 4-H. I have worked with rescue animals, animals with special needs, and elderly animals. For dog walking your should dog does not need to be perfectly trained as I am willing to work with them. I am happy to work with shy and timid animals as well as friendly and exited ones. If you would like a reference I can provide one. I have a very flexible schedule with alot of availability. I look foward to meeting you and your pets. I will shower your pets with love and make sure they receive only the best care.
About: Loving in-home dog care by a massage therapist. Personalized attention, free outdoor access, and a calm, kennel-free environment. Your dog will feel safe and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine—I live 5 minutes away, make my own schedule, and come home throughout the day to give attentive care. In my home, dogs enjoy free range indoors and out, regular supervision, personalized attention, and a calm, crate-free space where they feel safe, loved, and relaxed.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. After working in the fast-paced culinary world, I shifted gears in 2007 to run a full-scale pet care facility near Mt. Rainier. Later, I explored the insurance industry—but my heart never left the pack. Now, I’m back doing what I love most: caring for pets with experience, dedication, and a whole lot of tail wags. I work in town with a flexible schedule, so I can swing by during breaks to give your pet some love, care, and attention too. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, with a couple of visits each day. It’s a calmer, less stressful experience for your furry friend. I’m happy to stop by while you’re home at first, so your pet can see I’m a welcome guest. After a friendly introduction, I’ll carry out future visits just as smoothly—even if you’re away. For safety and peace of mind, I recommend crating your pet during my visits to avoid any unexpected issues with entry or territorial behavior.
About: Combining my upbringing on a farm with my past work at a doggy daycare and boarding center, I provide comprehensive pet care. I’ve had experience with high-energy breeds like Huskies and German Shepherds, as well as large dogs such as English Mastiffs, St. Bernards, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Your furry friends will enjoy a nurturing environment filled with love, companionship, and plenty of tail-wagging adventures. Leave them in capable hands for a worry-free experience! I have plenty of time during the week and weekend evenings to spend with your pets! I’m currently working part time mornings Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. To ensure your pets receive exceptional care I'll provide: Customized Care: Tailoring my approach to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. Regular Exercise: Engaging them in stimulating activities and regular exercise routines to keep them happy and healthy. Feeding and Hygiene: Following specific feeding schedules and maintaining proper hygiene practices to keep them clean and comfortable. Medication Administration: If needed, administering any medications according to the provided instructions. Companionship: Offering plenty of companionship and affection to alleviate any stress or anxiety they may feel while their owners are away. With a deep understanding of animal behavior and a genuine love for pets, I'll provide attentive and reliable care, giving peace of mind knowing your furry companions are in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs and fish since I was 8. I have taken care of cats for 26 years. I have also had experience with reptiles and birds. I work for a nonprofit Spay and Neuter clinic. We help animals on a daily basis. I have rescued feral cats and I am working on having my own sanctuary. I am an independent contractor and I make my own hours so I can maneuver around any schedule on any day. I am my own Boss with an open schedule. I will follow your directions of care and give them extra love and attention because they will be missing you. I love taking pups for walks when the weather permits.
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Plains stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
