“Kort did such a wonderful job watching our dog (and bearded dragon) while we were away for the holidays! He followed all of our detailed instructions and gave our pets lots of attention and love. We received daily updates with many pictures and even videos, which were much appreciated! Kort is very considerate and professional and we will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“Malika is a fantastic house sitter. She took excellent care of our pets, we have two dogs and two cats, and they absolutely loved her. She kept us consistently updated throughout the weekend, sending photos of our babies and letting us know when she arrived and left. Not only is she amazing with pets, but she’s also incredibly clean, the house looked impeccable when we got back. We will definitely book her again and highly recommend her as an amazing option.”

“Sarah did a great job pet/house sitting for us. She sent lots of photos of our pets which we really enjoyed receiving and when we returned home, our house was clean and the pets were very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs.”
“I can’t recommend Kendall enough!! Soooo sweet and communicative. She texted and sent pics throughout her whole stay. My cat who doesn’t usually take to new people took to her right away. If and when I leave again, Kendall is who I would use!!”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! My cats are my best friends, so I know how special a bond can be with a furry friend! My goal is to always make sure your pets are comfortable, respected, and happy. I'm currently only working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open! I have weekday + weekend availability, and you can always shoot me a message if you have any questions/concerns! I want to make sure your pet is taken with the best care possible. Every animal has their own quirks and personality, and I aim to make sure they are always comfortable 100%! I love getting to know animals and am happy to have a conversation beforehand to learn about them & make sure they are getting all the care they need.
“Chris is a great sitter! He stayed with my young dog several times this summer and each time I came home to a happy pup. I know I can trust Chris to take good care of my dog and home.”
“Asia was incredible! She did a home stay and helped with our bulldog, cat, and aquarium. She was an excellent communicator and rolled with it when our dog took awhile to warm up to her! Would 100% recommend her and have already booked her for another trip!”
“Airyana and Michelle were incredible. We were nervous leaving our girls at home while we went on vacation (rather than boarding them), but it worked out perfectly. Airyana bonded with our girls and did a great job giving one of them her medications 2x's a day (not an easy feat). Communication between us was solid - there was total transparency and zero concerns in this area. We felt comfortable with Airyana staying at our house over night and she did a great job keeping the house tidy, watering my outdoor plants, and getting our mail. We would 100% book again! Kudos to mom, Michelle, too, who helped and communicated with me if there were ever any questions or concerns.”

About: grew up around cats and dogs my whole life! big and small dogs from rottweilers to shih tzus! love taking dogs for a walk and spending time outside i work mon-fri until 4 pm! after that i’m free in the evenings! and free on the weekends. i get an hour lunch so if the house is nearby i don’t mind swinging by on lunch to let a dog out! I won’t be hosting any pets but when I care for pets at friend’s houses i prefer to keep the dogs on their leash if we step out of the fenced in yard for anything. i like to give the dogs time to really walk and sniff and stretch their legs after being indoors all day. i’m never in a rush walking the dogs, i like to let them lead the way

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lawrence on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lawrence walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lawrence maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
