“Richard and Elyce are our go-to sitters for our beloved Irish doodle, Murphy. They go above and beyond to make sure that he's happy, played with, safe and that we are updated with enough photos to get us through our separation anxiety 😂. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn't be happier with Yelena! My pups were well taken care of, with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. Yelena was incredibly flexible with my schedule and always responsive to any questions or updates I needed. The regular photos and updates gave me a peace of mind while away. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!”
“Precious did a great job keeping me informed about how Rico was doing. Such a pleasure to know all is well! Very kind and accommodating with great communication.”
“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! ”
“Kelvin was amazing!!! So this is my first time using the app I was very nervous at first leaving my boy behind but Kelvin made the experience great! I was trying not to overwhelm myself and him since it was my first time. He kept me updated with pictures and would check in with me in the morning and the night time just to ease my nerves. But i definitely recommend Kelvin!”
“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!”
“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”
“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“He has been amazing! I recently got assigned a job in this area and I was so stressed out trying to find someone who can keep my dog overnight. He has stayed with him for a few nights and I will be continuing to use him while this job lasts! He is great with my dog and my dog gets so excited when we pull up to the house for drop off!”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”
“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!!”
“Tammy was a great caretaker for our Babu! She is very attentive and compassionate. She even washed her blankets for Babu when she needed it. I recommend her to anyone with small dogs. She will love them while you are away, as if they are her own.”
“Ronnie and family were great. Lots of walks and excercise, pictures of Wilson sent, and I didn’t worry ‘too much’ about him because I felt he was in good hands. It was my first time using Rover and I was very pleased with the experience. Thank you Ronnie for taking such good care of my boy.”
“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 😊”
“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!!”
“Thank you so much! I truly appreciate how you loved and cared for the little princess. It is so comforting to know that is made to be a part of your family while I am traveling. 🐾💕🐾”

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. She’s very responsive and I get lots of pics of my boys when I’m away. She loves on them and they love her back! 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!

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.
