About: ➡️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with as many as 10 cats at once! As an adult, I’ve had three dogs who were part of our family from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. ➡️ I’ve also dog-sat for family members’ dogs many times over the years, always free of charge…perks of being family! ➡️ My partner has also been around dogs and cats for many years, so caring for animals is something we both enjoy. ➡️ We’re also home to an adorable and super-friendly Chinese hamster named Kenji, who would love to meet your furry friends! Kenji is both very laid-back and curious, depending on the time of day. ➡️ I’m home the vast majority of the week and readily available to give your pet plenty of attention. I share custody of my children, so depending on the week, your pet may have quiet one-on-one time with us or enjoy the company of my kids, who will be happy to help give your animals plenty of love and attention. ➡️ We have a one-acre grassy field directly behind our home that provides plenty of space for walks and potty breaks, and our community also has its own fenced-in dog park. We also love hiking and would be thrilled to take your pup along for an adventure! ➡️ We no longer have dogs or cats of our own as they have all crossed over the rainbow bridge, so your pet will receive lots of personalized, one-on-one attention. We’d love the opportunity to give your furry family member a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! ⭐️ I have a consistent and very flexible schedule that allows me to be home and available for pets throughout most of the week. My work schedule is approximately four hours on Mondays and Wednesdays during the school year. Aside from those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care. ⭐️ I also share custody of my three children as mentioned, and our household schedule is predictable. That will allow me to plan around each pet’s individual needs. Some weeks are quieter and other weeks your pet will have the added company of my kids, depending on the dates of your booking. ⭐️ With my flexible availability, I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. ⭐️ I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can receive plenty of individual attention and supervision. Since we do not currently have dogs or cats of our own, your pet can enjoy one-on-one care without having to share the space with other animals. ⭐️ Your pet will be free to roam throughout the common areas of our home and will be welcome in bedrooms with supervision, since those areas have carpeted flooring. If you prefer your pet to be crated at any point, I’m happy to follow your instructions. Depending on the size of your pet, you may need to provide an appropriately sized crate. ⭐️ For outdoor time, I use a leash and collar provided by you and provide walks and potty breaks in the very large grassy area directly behind our home. Our community also has a fenced dog park for appropriate dogs who enjoy more space to play. ⭐️ I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. Since no two pets are exactly alike, I want to make sure your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines are respected throughout their stay. I will always prioritize safe handling and make sure your pet is secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
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.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with friends' and neighbors' pets and later working at two dog care facilities. I've handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays, and I'm comfortable giving medication and caring for senior dogs. Working with so many different dogs taught me to read body language closely, so I can tell when a dog needs space or reassurance. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can fit visits and walks around your needs, including midday check-ins that break up a long workday. I'm generally available weekdays and mornings and happy to work out a routine that matches what your pet is used to. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. Having worked at two dog care facilities, I'm used to following safety procedures and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stick to your pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, and medication, and I follow your house rules. On walks I always keep dogs leashed and watch their body language so I can keep them away from anything that stresses them. I'll lock up securely every visit and send photo updates so you know how things are going.

We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.

“We had the great service of Gianna for the second time for dog walking services.

We hope to utilize Gianna’s services again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN

I couldn’t be happier with Dayanne . From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely care about my shadows needs . My dog can be a bit shy around new people, but she took the time to build trust and made him feel completely comfortable. Every walk is reliable, on time, and tailored to my dog’s energy level and needs. I also really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each visit—it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s happy, exercised, and well cared for while I’m away. What truly sets her apart is her professionalism and love for animals. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s refilling water, giving extra attention, or noticing small changes in behavior. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I highly recommend her . It’s made a huge difference for both me and my pup!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lawrence is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lawrence after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
