“Samantha was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday without my having to ask. Her home was clean and her dog was friendly. I will definitely utilize her services again!!”
“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!!”
“We had a great experience with Tammy and will definitely use her again. It was clear from our meet and greet that she really loves animals and our pup took to her instantly. She did a great job of providing daily updates and went above and beyond expectations by providing food alternatives when our pup wouldn’t eat and also bathing her before pickup! It was clear from our pup’s demeanor that she was well cared for and happy thanks to Tammy!”
“Yelena is set up perfectly for dogs to stay with her and her two pups. And she sent more photos and updates than any sitter we’ve ever had. It is so comforting to see and hear about how your dog is doing. Your dog will be in good hands with Yelena!”
“I had a last minute boarding nerd and Julie was GREAT. Really appreciated her being able to take care of my pup with short notice. She was super communicative and sent pics all weekend!”
“Sharon was an amazing pet sitter for our 🐶 . She treated her as if she were her own dog, always making sure she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated with photos and videos all the time, which we truly appreciated. You can really see the love and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend her!”
“Fiona is AMAZING! This is the second time she watched my dog, and I am so grateful. Her communication is impeccable. She sends updates and photos regularly. My dog is 100% comfortable and relaxed at Fiona’s house. She loves Fiona and runs up to her door excitedly. It feels so good to know my dog is happy and being well taken care of when she’s with Fiona. Her house is SO animal friendly. She lets my dog cuddle on the couch. Plus she has dog beds and rugs that my dog lounges on while she’s there. She also has a big, fenced in back yard. Fiona takes my dog for walks, which is amazing. I really just can’t say enough good things about Fiona. She’s a gem. Thank you, Fiona!!”
“This was my first DogVacay experience and I am so impressed with Mary! I live 30 minutes away from Mary, but it was worth the drive. You can tell when you walk into her home that Mary and her husband are truly dog lovers and take good care of their/other's pets. She sent me picture nearly daily while we were away for 8 days which was so nice to just know how our dog was doing and to simply see him. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup. I even had to change our dates and she had no problem accommodating the change request. I intend to use Mary moving forward for all of my vacations as Wrigley was very happy to stay with her and was taken such good care of. Near or far from your home, Mary is worth the drive if you want your pet to be in a very loving home! ”
“I am delighted to have entrusted my dog to Ms. Karen. He thoroughly enjoyed his time, evident from the photos she kindly shared. Ms. Karen provided excellent care, and I would certainly choose her services again. Grateful for your attention, Ms. Karen!”
“She was great with Leo. Sent great photos of Leo having fun with others. And so communicative and very friendly. Will book everytime we’re in town and highly recommend her services! 🤎”
“We left our Dalmatian, Gracie, with Precious and Thomas for a full week while we were on a family vacation to North Carolina, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, they were wonderful. Gracie was clearly well cared for—she was happy, healthy, well fed, and in great spirits when we picked her up. It gave us real peace of mind to know she was in such capable and loving hands while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Precious and Thomas to anyone looking for responsible and caring pet sitters. They treated Gracie like family, and we are so grateful!”
“Hugo had another wonderful stay with Richard! Flexible drop off and pickup times, great communication with pictures and videos sent daily. Also love seeing Hugo’s report card on how he did during the visit. Thanks again Richard for the great care of Hugo!”
“Jameelah was an absolute delight to work with. She very clearly loved caring for our dog, Freddie. She sent lots of adorable pictures, took him on walks, and kept in close contact. We will absolutely use her again and appreciate everything she did to watch our little guy while we were gone.”
“Claudia was great! Let us meet her before Tito’s stay, took good notes and picture updates for us throughout his stay. Claudia is obviously a pet lover and cared for Tito!”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Gabriel was beyond amazing he provided updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay! His doggies are so sweet and chill and our coco felt very much at home. I can tell by the videos that she was enjoying herself and she’s usually nervous when staying at other peoples houses. They let her sleep in their bed and snuggle and treated her as their own. You can tell they truly love animals we would 100% use them again thank you 🙏❤️”
“Christopher was great with our elderly dog! Bucco was asleep on the couch when I came to pick him up. Our dog looked up, though happy to see me, seemed to be telling me, "Really? I have to get up? But I'm comfortable. " Christopher sent pictures every day. That was much appreciated. One of my son's asked every day if there was a picture. Thank you Christopher!”

Jessica was absolutely amazing with our not entirely housebroken 14-week-old puppy!!! She kept me updated with how he was doing and even taught him how to sit! He came home extremely happy and well cared for. I will definitely have her watch our puppy in the future.
Rashawnda was truly an amazing dog sitter for my baby boy, Bear! I was initially worried because Bear has anxiety and doesn’t usually do well in unfamiliar environments. But thanks to Rashawnda’s patience and loving care, he settled in quickly and felt right at home. She kept me updated and I could tell Bear was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup. I would highly recommend Rashawnda to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

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.
