“First time using Mary for our boys George and Frank on a week long trip. Having recently moved from the PNW we have had to find our new “dog people” and this has been very anxiety provoking! Mary was great with them and sent me pictures throughout the week, we added on baths at the end of the week so they were fresh for our return. We will absolutely send them to Mary’s for our future vacations ?”
“We had used a few dog boarding before and Marietta has the best setting at home with a nice fenced backyard. It was clean and safe for puppies. Definitely will use her service again.”
“Richard was phenomenal!! I boarded my dog with him over the week of Christmas and can say nothing but good things!! He sent plenty of pictures of my pup playing with his dogs and having a great time. When my flight was delayed getting home he was communicative and understanding, showing nothing but patience. I cannot recommend his services enough and I know I will be requesting them again in the future!!”
“Christopher was communicative and reassured us throughout Joey’s stay. When we picked him up, he was happy and his normal self. We would book again.”
“Crystal went above and beyond for our Teddy! She was very welcoming and we loved getting all the updates and pictures. We highly recommend her caring for any dog!!”
“Destinee went above and beyond to make Miss Pearl feel at home. We got updates often, and were always so pleased to see Pearl happy. Thankful we found Destinee to love on and care for Pearl while we were gone.”
“Gwen is super! She’s got an older mellow dog that does great with our older mellow dog. Our dog Happy is very much “at home” when Gwen takes care of her. Very thankful for Gwen and her family taking such good care of our 4-legged hairy child when we are not able to take her with us.”
“Mary was able to watch our dog for a long weekend, very last minute. She is super communicative and sends updates frequently. She took our dog on walks and we know our dog was well taken care of. Mary is great!”
“This is our third time sending Murphy to Rachel and her family!! They always treat him like family and love on him so much! He’s always excited to go! She treats the pups like they are one of her own! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Our foster Standard Poodle stayed with Julie at Furry Cuddles and Care for eight days. Browny’s had a rough start to his life, and Julie took the time to meet with us and Browny beforehand to talk about his specific needs. The care provided is wonderful, daily updates/pictures and based on the feedback they invest the time to get to know each pup. A loving home environment with plenty of play and sleep mates is such a huge relief during those times we need to travel without our furry friends. I’m not certain Browny wanted to come home! Thank you!”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”
“Valerie was amazing- videos, photos- took her for a walk, and her dog is the sweetest- very playful and brought the the puppy out of my 9 year old. She had an amazing time and was very well taken care of”
“Amy has a beautiful home where she watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. Our dog can sometimes be timid of new places/faces, but not with Amy. She took great care of him and we saw this in the photo updates she shared. She works from home so your dog almost always has someone to keep them company. We can’t thank Amy enough. Absolutely, we plan to use her again. (This was our second time using her)”
“Great boarding sitter! He showed so much love and care to my Archie sent me pictures and videos daily so we can clearly see how happy and relaxed he was with the new place. I thought my Archie was unwilling to come back with us at the end! Will definitely book next sitting ASAP so I will get the spot!”
“Thank you Cynthia for taking such good care of our dog. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay with you. We definitely plan to reach out again in the future!”
“I’m so happy I picked Jacklyn to be my dog sitter . She was amazing and kept me updated about my fur baby . He loved her backyard. Can’t wait to book his next stay 😊”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Our dog had a great time spending the week with Samantha and her family. We got daily updates and videos, and our dog had a BLAST. We are already planning to use her again!”
“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”

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.

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.
