“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”

“Wonderful caretakers. Our dog had some anxiety issues while we were gone and Precious was very communicative and helpful navigating taking care of our boy.”
“I could not be more grateful for the attention, care and acceptance on the same day as Earlie; she is a loving and dedicated person, she was our angel with Sharow. Excellent service and kept me in the loop, Zeus enjoyed sharing while we were on the road, we had issues with the app but she was very accessible. thank you!!”
“Christopher was great to work with! He was super sweet to my dog, spoke highly of him and followed all my care directions. He was highly communicative and very flexible! I appreciate his care! We have already booked our next boarding stay with him.”

“Mary took care of my three dogs while I was away for a week. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs and was relieved to get updates and pictures from Mary. She was super accommodating and communicative. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use Mary again.”
“Lynna spoiled our two golden doodles… so much so, I’m surprised they came home 😂 Lynna’s communication was excellent. She answered questions before I asked. One of my dogs needed medication, no issue all was great. Looking forward to dropping the girls off with her again.”
“Julie is amazing! I could have left 20 reviews by now because she’s been watching my boy for over a year. You can tell he loves her. She’s extremely responsive and always sends pics while I’m away. I was going out of town and Jax needed allergy medication for his ears and she made sure he was taken care of the whole time.”
“Tammy was a great dog sitter! I was in a pinch and reached out a couple days before I was expected to travel. She responded within minutes and we set up an intro visit for the next day. Her home is definitely a doggie haven and you can tell that her and her husband genuinely love dogs. We got to meet her dogs and could tell by the interactions that my dog would be welcomed, safe and loved on! For a few pics and videos during the weekend stay and all was well. We will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Richard & his wife Elyce took the best care of our 8 month old goldendoodle. Penny loved playing in the fenced-in backyard with Bruce, their bernese. During our trip, Richard kept us updated with how Penny was doing-including pictures! When we picked her up, they included the most adorable puppy report card which is now hanging on our fridge. We will definitely be calling Richard and family the next time we go away.”
“Tilly's previous owner has taken her to Karen for years. So when Tilly came to live with me, I also took her to Karen. Tilly loves staying with Karen. And as Tilly's mom, I love that Karen sends me periodic updates and photos of her time there when I'm away. Everyone I've talked with loves taking their dog to Karen. I agree and will certainly take Tilly there again.”
“Amy has been someone we trust with our furry friend. We've used her 3 or 4 times now and will continue to use her as we need. Easy to work with and great communication. Thank you, Amy.”

Jessica and her partner are awesome. They’ve watched my boys twice now. And every single time I feel at ease when they’re with her.

I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is just like me,very nervous to leave their fur babies with just anyone. She’s great!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
99% of Lawrence sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lawrence landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lawrence 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 Lawrence.
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 and your Lawrence 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 IN 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.
