“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.”
“Leta and spouse treated my pups like royalty! We got lots of pictures and they were well loved, exercised and entertained. I’d highly recommend and will use them again. They even gave my pups a bath!”
“Yelena was very sweet with my dog she sent multiple pictures and gave updates daily. My dog can be very shy and I could see from the pictures my dog was comfortable being with Yelena and having fun with her and her dogs.”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“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.”
“Great environment and very nice people!! Everything was perfect! I was just sad that Precious had to deal with our little girl and the effects of having anthesia.”
“Dayana took excellent care of my dog. Her dog and mine had a great time, and when my dog came home he was so worn out from all the playtime, he could barely keep his eyes open.”
“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!”
“Richard was just great! Our pups have had a longtime pet sitter who was unable to have them on a shorter notice trip. We were able to easily schedule a meet-and-greet and Richard was so accommodating along the way. Communication was top notch and our pups were clearly happy with their stay. We'd definitely reach out to Richard again!”
“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.”
“Brendan was great with our 5 month old Aussie puppy! He sent daily updates and was extremely flexible when our flight got delayed. Our pup was happy to play with his golden retriever and came home very sleepy!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginger’s first stay with Alyson! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet and getting Ginger booked for the same week, which we really appreciated. Alyson has a fenced-in backyard where Ginger had plenty of room to roam and explore, and she was welcome to enjoy the furniture and feel right at home. Alyson’s two children were wonderful with Ginger and loved helping care for her, including taking her on walks with parental supervision. I especially loved receiving all the photos throughout her stay and being able to check in and see how Ginger was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for! Ginger made some wonderful new friends, and she can’t wait to go back and visit them again! If you’re looking for a Rover sitter in the area, I highly recommend Alyson. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🐾❤️”
“We had never used rover before, or left our pug at all due to being anxious to be away from him and not knowing if he was being taken care of. Gabriel and Leandro kept us updated with videos and pictures of him the entire weekend and did such a great job caring for him. We would recommend to anyone and will definitely use them again when we’re back in the area! Thank you guys so much!”
“Samantha and her family welcomed Bubba as their own pup! She kept us posted on his behavior and sent picture, which we loved. She has several kiddos and dogs that kept Bubba socialized and he had ongoing play all weekend. We’d definitely recommend Samantha and plan on booking her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Beans! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Beans was happy and comfortable. We loved getting updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Beans was well cared for and received plenty of attention and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Natasha, for taking such amazing care of Beans! 🐾💕”
“Aricel cared for Winnie like her own! Winnie was very comfortable with Aricel and loved the backyard. Aricel sent us photos and updates every day. We will send Winnie to stay with her again.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for many years. I have provided pet sitting services for over 15 years and was a devoted dog owner for 15 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life.Since 2018, I have been actively involved in fostering, caring for animals with a wide range of needs and personalities. My experience includes senior dogs, small breeds, cats, puppies, newborns, nursing mothers, and pets requiring medical attention or specialized care. Through fostering and pet sitting, I have become comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra patience and support to pets who need it most.What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet's individual needs while treating them like family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior needing extra comfort, or recovering from a medical issue, I provide attentive, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I do not work outside the home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for feedings, medication schedules, playtime, and individualized attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for foster animals, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent feeding times and providing attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. Whether your cat requires extra monitoring, a structured routine, or simply companionship, I have the time and flexibility to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a pet-friendly home environment. I also have resident cats, so any visiting pets should be comfortable around cats or able to be safely separated if needed. With over 15 years of pet-sitting experience and fostering since 2018, I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, medical cases, kittens, puppies, and nursing mothers. I closely follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Because I have an open schedule and caring for animals is my primary focus, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home while their families are away. 🐾🐱🐶

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this sitter and the whole family. I feel so grateful and blessed that my first time using this app that God led me straight to this sitter. They were so sweet, so communicative, and treated my babies wonderfully. I really don’t think my pups would want to leave because they were being so spoiled and loved so well. They kept them active by going to the dog park multiple times, so many walks outside each day, lots of playtime and so many cuddle from the kiddos. My dogs were treated just perfectly and I will only ever entrust my dogs with this family. They stayed in touch the entire time and were so friendly, they communicated so great with lots of pictures, messages and videos of my dogs time while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of care that was provided and the quality of people that cared for my dogs. Such a great service and family! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!

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!

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 Lawrence 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
