About: Hi! I’m Alyssa. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for my whole life and treat every pet like family. I offer reliable walks, playtime, and cozy overnight stays in a safe, pet-friendly home. I’m comfortable with special diets, medications, and senior or anxious pets. Daily photo updates and prompt communication included — your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority. I am a high school teacher so over summers I have lots of flexibility and during the school year I am gone for 8 hours for the work day M-F. I have a mini doodle Jetta who is 7 years old and she is my best friend in the whole world- I treat every animal that I care for as if they were my own going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and playing in which I will be sure to send you photos.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua, a small, energetic little brown bean with a shiny coat. Through the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of small dog care, from daily morning and evening walks to preparing soft meals tailored to her needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to providing pets with personalized care, whether it’s ensuring they get the right nutrition, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work hybrid from home, which allows me to provide attentive care for pets. I'm available for boarding, house sitting, and check-ins from Thursday to Sunday. Additionally, I offer check-ins and house sitting on Monday to Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I live in an apartment, but my complex is surrounded by beautiful trees and open space, perfect for walking and running around. There’s always something fun to do outside, whether it’s exploring nature or playing in safe, pet-friendly areas. Inside, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment, keeping toxic foods and hazardous items out of reach.
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!
About: I have owned a dog of my own for 8 years, starting at 4 months old. This has given me experience in puppy training and potty training. I can teach sit, stay, and lay down! I also have years of experience volunteering at the animal shelter, walking dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I have very open availability throughout the week, from morning to evening, as well as open weekends for any of your pet care needs including drop-ins, walks, or house sitting! I only provide care at the clients house. I can leash if there is not a fenced in yard, crate if needed, and any other specific requests.
“Gabriel did a fantastic job with communication, photos, and videos. He came right as expected and went above and beyond on the job. He is truly a wonderful pet sitter that anyone can trust!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have been around dogs and animals in general my entire life. I’m currently housing a year old German Shepard with a lot of energy! I’m an EMT looking for work in the month of May. Hoping to be hired onto Indy ems. I love walking so whether your dog prefers long or short walks I am happy either way! I have one dog, her name is Tasha, and I've had her for most of my life. I follow directions exactly as they are given and am observant to changes in behavior.
“As usual, Christy was amazing with my 2 cats. She is able to give one cat oral meds and an inhaler. It’s so nice knowing that Christy is reliable and able to do this consistently so that I don’t have to worry about that being an issue while I’m gone. Highly recommend Christy for your cat sitting needs!”
“Alexandria was a great sitter during our extended time away from our pets. She made the pets feel comfortable, followed all our instructions, and communicated following her visits and as we needed. Should we need a sitter in the future, we'll certainly reach out to her again! We highly recommend.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including having two of my own. I love dogs to the point I want to become a veterinarian. I would love the experience of getting to know dogs and their personalities Pet care fits into my routine on the days I’m available: Sunday through Tuesday and Fridays. On some days I get out of school at 12, so I’m free from 1–10, and on other days I get out at 2:10, so I’m free from 3–10. I also have a part-time job at a carwash, but I can plan around it to make sure I spend plenty of quality time with I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy wherever they are. I follow the owners’ instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, and I give lots of attention and love. I’ve cared for my own dog for over 10 years, including training and handling a dog with aggression, so I know how to manage different personalities and needs.
About: My family and I have owned dogs since before I can remember, and I have helped take care of them, as well as petsit for others, since I was old enough to do so on my own. I am a generally calm and affectionate person around dogs, which makes me a good fit for more anxious/nervous dogs. I currently work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, which leaves weekends and Monday/Friday open for me to house/petsit! On Mondays I am free in the mornings and after 5pm, and on Fridays + weekends I am completely free. As I have my own anxious dog at home who really prefers to be a single dog, I am more comfortable housesitting than boarding. I am adaptable to most dog schedules, and am used to both high energy and low energy dogs.
About: I've been caring for dogs for over three years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, potty breaks, and LOTS of affection while they're away. I understand that every dog has a special personality and routine, so I always take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to make every visit fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet! p.s. There are no pictures in my profile of clients’ pets, as I keep client photos secure/not visible to the public. I currently work part-time, finishing up graduate school for therapy. Despite that, I'm very flexible and committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet's routine. My schedule allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I'm happy to work with anyone to find times that best meet their needs. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll communicate and make sure they receive proper attention and exercise. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions before every booking. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain alert to my surroundings, and in your home I'll respect your space while keeping your pet's environment clean and secure. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
About: i'm very patient and observant and I love to take care of animals and be around them as well. I've never had a dog not like me. my normal day job is a peer recovery specialist working with people in sober living, and I am an aspiring musician with my own band I always make sure to get the instructions and feed times and assure pet parents that if anything needs extra attention if I need to reach out, I will and I like to go above and beyond to make sure our furry friends are taken care of

I love animals wake up take the dog out feed him. feed kitty, clean her litter then do the same thing around lunch. Sense it’s summer, it’s different when I was in school I play with my pets and my sister pets. i’ve never had a client yet. i’ll make sure there comfortable with me in my home or theirs.
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!

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lawrence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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.
