“Cannot say enough kind things about Mary and her husband Jack! Feel like Zeus is going to Family when they watch him. He’s happy to be dropped off and happy when I pick him up. It’s a vacation for Zeus when he comes. So grateful to have them, Mary is awesome, love her to pieces”
“Claudia was great! Let us meet her before Tito’s stay, took good notes and picture updates for us throughout his stay. Claudia is obviously a pet lover and cared for Tito!”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
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.
“Desiree is wonderful! She gives lots of photos and updates, which is so nice when away for a long time. I’ve left my dog overnight with her twice now and will definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“Rachel and Seth were great with Mellie. Their schedules are super accommodating and Mellie loved their pool, sunny backyard, and front yard windows. She would love to go back any time!”
“Waffles and Dobby had a great time and had amazing care. Ashley, Mike, and the Kids treated our pups like family. This was Dobby’s first time away from us and they did great with him. Waffles and Dobby got lots of play time and lots of love. They sent plenty of photos and gave updates a couple times a day. Will definitely be using them next time we need a sitter.”
“Nanatte was great. We felt so comfortable having her watch Eddie and Moose for our Spring Break week. She really made them feel at home. She updated us daily with pictures and how the boys were doing. They had a great time playing in the yard. We will definitely use Nanette again!”
“Amy provided great care and attention to Bailey. I received daily updates and photos on her activities. I would highly recommend Amy for Boarding. I will schedule Amy on future boarding services.”
“First experience with Rosie but it won’t be the last! Rosie has a very calming presence and welcomed our dog Lola with open arms. She sent daily pics of Lola. They went on several daily walks and car rides during our extended vacation. Rosie’s dog Toby is very friendly and it was nice to have a playmate for Lola. Highly recommend!!”
“Amy has been someone we trust with our furry friend. We've used her 3 or 4 times now and will continue to use her as we need. Easy to work with and great communication. Thank you, Amy.”
“This was our kitten’s first time staying away from home, and Shelby made it care-free and easy! She kept such a close eye on our kitten, even if the kitten didn’t necessarily want her too, haha! She made Willow feel so comfortable that by the end she was snuggling with Shelby! Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Jill and her family were very friendly and accommodating for our very spoiled dog Rawley. She posted pictures even though we were only gone for a couple of days and we loved the convenience of being able to drop off and pick up on our own schedule since we were traveling out of town. We would definitely choose Jill for future boarding needs.”
“Bethany was wonderful with our dog, Charlie while we were away. She kept us regularly updated with messages and photo, which gave us great peace of mind. Charlie was clearly well cared and happy. We would definitely book her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Jessica was absolutely amazing with our not entirely housebroken 14-week-old puppy!!! She kept me updated with how he was doing and even taught him how to sit! He came home extremely happy and well cared for. I will definitely have her watch our puppy in the future.
Rashawnda was truly an amazing dog sitter for my baby boy, Bear! I was initially worried because Bear has anxiety and doesn’t usually do well in unfamiliar environments. But thanks to Rashawnda’s patience and loving care, he settled in quickly and felt right at home. She kept me updated and I could tell Bear was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my pup. I would highly recommend Rashawnda to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!

There are 951 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lawrence. About 92% of Lawrence sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
