About: I've had the pleasure of providing exceptional pet sitting services, for several family and friends. From maintaining their feeding schedules to ensuring their exercise needs are met, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. Trust me to give your beloved pets the care and attention they deserve! This summer I am currently working part time. With my schedule, I will be able to give your pet the best care possible with plenty of cuddles. I will follow any current routine or instructions that you have with your pet in your house. I can crate your pet if needed when gone.
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.
“Lauren is amazing! She responded quickly when I first reached out and made time for a meet and greet, which immediately put me and my pup at ease. When she takes my dog for a walk. she always shares thoughtful updates and the cutest photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My dog adores her, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I’ll definitely continue using Lauren as my dog walker—she’s the best!”

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.

“After reading and searching through many profiles in the hope finding the right individual, I was very fortunate to stumble into Rafaels profile. After contacting and explaining to Rafael my situation that I just rescued a Pitbull and that I need help looking after him until I find his home, he took great interest and was immediately available for a one-on-one meet. I could sense that Rafael and this sweet Pittie (Eddie) instantly connected, the moment they had met. Watching Rafael interacting with Eddie, I immediately could tell that he is a very experienced and respectful person, who cares deeply about the needs of animals. Rafael took on the mission walking and spending time with Eddie every day for 30 minutes, which turned out a huge success. Every day, while I am at work, I get a message from Rafael, informing me when Eddie gets picked up for his walk and when he gets dropped off back home. He also sends me a little report card showing me what they did along their walk with a few pictures. Rafael is also open with texting him for anything and everything and he always replies. It’s been three weeks or longer since Rafael has been caring for Eddie now and I could not be happier. Even though I do a lot with Eddie in terms of entertaining and training, but being away at work for long hours, it is totally calming to know that Eddie is in safe hands with Rafael. What is also extremely great and important to know, is that Rafael has a backup person, in case he is already too booked for one day and sends his replacement named Darius, who is just as kind, caring and professional as Rafael. Both, Rafael and Darius are always on time and very communicative, which is such an important factor. And most important.... Eddie loves both of them! It is really wonderful to watch that sweet pup jump, skip and wiggle for joy, when either one of those two come to be with him. All in all, I am very grateful and happy with Rafael and Darius and would recommend both for caring for your Dog, if you ever were in need of a really wonderful, trustworthy and caring Dog-walker or sitter.”
About: I’m in school to become a RVT, so I have certain skills to take care of senior dogs or dogs with illnesses! I love all animals of any age! I’m very interested in training and behavior and believe there is no such thing as a mean or aggressive animal! I’ve loved animals since I was little and have always found a way to be around them! Right now I take classes from 8-2 so I could check on your pet around 2 times and day and stay for an hour or longer! I want to make sure the animals isn’t just getting checked on and is actually getting care! Right now I live on campus at my college but I go home as much as I can to see my dog, gypsy may. Gypsy came from a rough place before the shelter so she has to be touching you at all times. She loves her sleeo as much as I do but we also play fetch in the backyard or go on walks!

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was young. I had several dogs growing up, and also did a lot of dog-sitting for friends and family members throughout high school!

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 your Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
