“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!”
“Ash and her Husband, Mike, and their two beautiful children were a great match for our dog for the week we had to find boarding. They communicated very well. They were very sweet and truly loved our dog. It is always reassuring when the hosts love our dog just as much as we do! If I could give 10 stars I would. We are very grateful for them and will surely use their services again.”
“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!”
“David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”
“She is a rock star and an angel! We had an amazing experience with Julie ! She took wonderful care of our dog Uma, while we were out of the country. Julie went above and beyond every day. We were very nervous about leaving our dog, who is paralyzed and requires a significant amount of specialized care and attention. Julie handled everything with care, responsibility and so much love, from the moment we met her she was very professional and completely unfazed by the extra responsibility. Provided pictures and daily reports which helped us feel at ease. She is sweet and truly exceptional. We were lucky to have Julie in our corner and would definitely recommend her !”
“Family were very welcoming at our meet and greet. Did not end up needing to use services due to change in plans. I am confident Tilly and Miles would have enjoyed their stay.”
“Rachel & Seth were amazing! They are great at communicating before, during and after the sit. They make sure everything is taken care of and have a great house and yard. Michigan was very happy there. They even sent pictures and updates on what Michigan was doing each day. I highly recommend them. 10/10”
“Bethany was wonderful with our dog, Charlie while we were away. She kept us regularly updated with messages and photo, which gave us great peace of mind. Charlie was clearly well cared and happy. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“He did a great job with my pup. I was super nervous leaving my boy for the first time ever but kelvin made it super easy. He replies fast and keeps you updated. Already booked another couple days.”
“Kristen was an excellent pet sitter for our dog. He appeared to have a good time with her and her family, and she was communicative throughout the process. Would definitely recommend her for someone looking for a sitter.”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
“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! 🐾💕”

“Jess did a great job! Her communication was excellent and she treated our Molly just like she was her own dog. Molly got along great with Jess, her husband, and their cute little dog. It was a great experience, and we hope to use her again soon.”
“Bill kept us apprised of Buddy’s stay. Buddy seemed relaxed with Bill, and because Buddy is not the friendliest dog, that told me that Buddy was in great hands. We would love to use Bill’s services again in the future!”
“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!”

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!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
