“Luis was great with our mix of dogs. He kept in mind each of their needs and ensured that they got all they could out of their time with him. We have one that fears other humans, one that thinks he is a guard dog and one that just wants all the love and attention she can get. He met them all where they were and let them feel safe. He communicated well and gave great feedback on how they did. It felt so good to know our pups were in good hands.”
“Ross was fantastic. My Cru can be a handful at times and he really showed up for me when she was not exhibiting her best behavior. He handled the situation professionally, calmly, very effectively and I am very grateful for his time spent with my two dogs. I could not have asked for more. I would definitely rebook him but that’s assuming he would even accept us again given her little spectacle she caused.”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs! I've spent almost 3 years at a doggy daycare, where I'm actively learning how to read dog body language, keep group and 1-on-1 time safe, and handle feeding routines. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with a variety of personalities including dogs who are reactive or display aggressive behavior. I also have my own reactive dog so I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part-time, but I’m free most Mondays and Wednesdays from the morning through late afternoon. Fridays are usually open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., since I work at 2 p.m. Feel free to ask about other days too, and I can let you know what works for me 😊 I unfortunately can't provide space for your beloved pet as I have a reactive dog and cat. However, I believe that I'm able to make your pet feel comfortable in its own home even if you're gone. I can be playful but also relaxed. I will be able to give your pet plenty of attention when they want it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles and love spending time with everyone’s pets! Please reach out for any and all pet care needs. I work full-time, but from home at least one or twice a week. My weekends and afternoon/evenings are very open and I am thankfully very mobile. I am very mobile so I can visit and care for your pets in the home they’re used to staying in. I am comfortable with dog-walking, playing outside/inside, and giving your animals the space they need around a new person. I have two special needs pets so I have experience with unique pet needs and am very capable of making sure I provide quality care!
“Kylie did. Great job looking after our shy kitties for 10 days. Knew just how to approach them so one even came out to socialize ! We were very happy knowing they were being so well cared for.”
“Bibiana was so kind meeting Cruz 🐾 today! He loved her! I’m so glad I know I have someone so kind and reliable to help me with Cruz when I need it. I’m sure Cruz will be so excited to see his new friend in a few days!”
“Natalie is an angel! My protective dog didn’t even bark at her when he first met her and immediately loved her. She’s so loving and kind with our animals, gentle and thoughtful. I trust her 100% and can’t wait to hire her again- I know my dog can’t wait to see her again either!”
“Emily was a great pet sitter! She took such good care of the cats and gave them lots of love each visit. I felt totally comfortable having her taking care of them, I really didn’t worry at all on vacation! We would rebook with her again, no hesitation.”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
About: Im new to rover but not new to pets. Ive been giving pets the care they need for about 5 years. I have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes, pets with high and low energy levels and seniors also. I cherish caring for all pets and believe all pets deserve the same amount of love, care and patience. Weekdays I am available Monday through friday 5am - 6pm. I also can go later if needed. I am also available in the colder months I am also very aware of the safety of your pet during walks and am extra cautious of allergies, anxieties and the comfortability of your pet. I also am very big on reading body language and giving your pet personal space when needed.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and currently care for three rescue dogs of different ages and activity levels. This has given me hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and engagement to older dogs who require patience, consistency, and extra attention. What sets me apart is my experience caring for multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I understand the importance of routines, positive interactions, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a reliable caregiver while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have availability during weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life, as I have three rescue dogs and four cats of my own. At this time, I am primarily offering pet care services on weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and accommodate your pet's routine as closely as possible. My flexible daytime schedule gives me the ability to focus on making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care and help them feel secure while you're away. In a client's home, I strive to maintain your pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to safety during walks, keep a watchful eye on behavior and energy levels, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water and a clean environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I care for them as if they were my own.
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked with dogs, cats, and other household pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I genuinely love helping people and building connections within my community. I believe trust, communication, and reliability are the foundation of any great relationship—whether that’s caring for your pets, helping a neighbor, or simply being someone people can count on. My goal is to provide dependable, affordable pet care that gives owners peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every family’s situation is different, so if pricing is a concern, feel free to reach out and let’s talk. I want quality pet care to be accessible while ensuring your pets receive the attention, love, and respect they deserve. When you book with me, I hope you feel like you’ve found more than just a pet sitter—I hope you’ve found someone you can trust, a friendly face in the community, and a person who genuinely cares about both you and your pets! I currently work part-time, allowing me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight stays on both weekdays and weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, affordable care so pet owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. While pet sitting provides extra income, my goal is much bigger than simply making a quick dollar. I genuinely enjoy helping people in my community and building relationships based on trust, kindness, and reliability. I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing they’ve found someone who truly cares about their pets and treats them like family. My hope is that your pet looks forward to spending time with me, feels safe and comfortable in my care, and enjoys their time away from home just as much as you enjoy knowing they’re in good hands. I provide a calm, loving environment for cats and small dogs and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply keeping them company, I strive to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners while creating lasting connections within the community.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Beth and Scott were absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking with them, and once again, they took incredible care of our dog over a busy holiday week. They kept us updated the entire time and were even flexible enough to refund our last couple of visits when we made it home early. We had total peace of mind while away and will definitely continue booking them in the future!
Malika did a fantastic job with our dog during two 60-minute drop-in visits! She was very communicative throughout the day, sent lots of pictures and updates, and clearly took great care of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Julia was beyond amazing ! The nicest from start to finish. loved on my fur baby like he was her own . I was worried about being away for extended time but Julia wiped away any and all doubts before day 1 was even finished . She has a repeat client here for sure ❤️
I had a great experience with Lorrie!. Her and her Partner were able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped me feel comfortable and for my dog. She was very patient with my dog Ava, and she completed all her check-ins with photos and great communication throughout. We were able to visit my fiancée’s parents with total peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well cared for. Highly recommend!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lawrence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
