“Steve could not have been more timely with responses during the interview process and throughout our stay in Kansas. He willingly accommodated our requests for drop-off and pick-up time changes for Barkley. Every night we picked up a happy and exhausted dog...one who went immediately to sleep. Steve proved to be trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely kind to dogs, cats and babies. We certainly recommend Steve and will definitely be using his services again, when in Lawrence, KS.”
“Kathi is awesome! She was very flexible when we had to adjust dates, and she is an expert when it comes to introducing new dogs to each other and then beginning the boarding process for a dog's first time. It's clear she's had a lot of experience and our dog seemed to really enjoy the experience. We will be using her again and again!”
“Natalia and her husband are awesome! I always know my dogs are in good hands and they treat them like their own! She also sends pictures!! I highly recommend Natalia!!”
“Amelia and Matthew are seriously the best! They take excellent care of my doggie and I trust them completely! We are so lucky we found them and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“I could tell Tito was in good hands from the moment I dropped him off. It was great to know he was getting some socialization with other pups of similar size. Lauren sent updates throughout his stay. We would definitely use Lauren again!”
“Elizabeth was awesome with our two pups. She made them feel comfortable and part of her pack. She sent updates and pictures. Amelia loves being outside and I know she had plenty of outside time because she was getting a lot steps with Elizabeth. And Finn who is anxious and scared of everything seemed at ease.”
“Alma was a great sitter for Nellie while we went out of town for a few nights! Before the booking, we met and she took notes about Nellie's care and schedule. During our trip, she was very communicative with updates/photos and took Nellie for many walks. We will absolutely use her again and would recommend for anyone looking! Thank you!”
“Nancy was so great with our dogs while we were away. Her experience with her own senior dogs made her the perfect care taker for our 16-year-old pup and five -year old pup. She treated them just like they were her own. We plan to book with her again.”
“Angela was amazing with Milo. She provides such comfortable accommodations for him and shared pictures which helped reassure us. This is our first ti boarding our cat and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We will definitely use Angela again. She’s a sweetheart and clearly loves animals.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our young Boston Terrier is full of energy, curiosity, and mischief, and Danielle handled her with so much patience and care. It was clear she was well-loved, exercised, and treated like part of the family while we were away. We received updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book with her again!”
“I highly recommend Sheila, my dog was very comfortable in her home. In fact my dog has digestive issues secondary to anxiety. I was pleasantly surprised to learn she had no issues in Sheila’s care. Sheila also kept me updated by sending pictures without me having to ask. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Aaron was great! Took care of my girl while we were out of town. She’s not a fan of other dogs but he made her comfortable with everyone that was there :) if I ever need another sitter I’ll have him watch her again!”
“Alexis was so easy to work with and getting pics of my sweet dog playing with her puppy was icing on the cake. Thanks so much for giving Lavender a fun and comfy Christmas!”
“Darcy was so well cared for and had a great time with Ashley and her pups! Ashley was super responsive and flexible when our road trip back home took more time than expected. She will definitely be our go-to sitter for Darcy in the future.”

My most recent beloved cat, Mufasa, was diabetic, which has help me puuurfect my skills of administrating shots and taking care of ill kitties.

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.
97% of sitters in Baldwin City 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 Baldwin City 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 Baldwin City.
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.

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.

You and your Baldwin City 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 KS 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.
