About: I have been loving and caring for dogs my entire life! Nothing makes me happier than spending quality time with a furry friend. I have experience with basic obedience training and grooming (including nail trimming), and I'm more than happy to take your dog on a long-distance walk if needed. I work from home, so your pet will enjoy around-the-clock company! I can board throughout the week and am available for short or long-term stays. I have a very friendly Beagle who will love becoming your pet's next best friend! Though I don't have a fenced backyard, I'm near plenty of green spaces where your pet can enjoy time outside. Your pet can expect multiple daily walks, plenty of play time, and an experienced and caring sitter.
“Our experience with Shalissa was great, especially on such short notice! They really took great care of Scarlet and it was comforting to know she got to be in a nice home with other kids and dogs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. Rescues have always been my preference for my personal fur baby but I love all fur babies big and small. I have professional experience as well working in a doggy daycare w/boarding. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on Weekends and after 2pm on Thursdays and 10am on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly pup of my own to play with and I can gate/crate your dog if I need to.
“Brooke and Bryan (and Family) provided a warm, wonderful and safe Charismas Holiday home for our fur baby while we were in Europe for an extended Holiday vacation. They are such amazing people and took great care (as if he were one of their own dogs) . While we were away we got pics and txt updates which was really, really nice! Would highly recommend them and we will totally be using their services again in the future! Thanks again for taking great care of our doggy!”
“Mona was fantastic! The dogs were well cared for and they seemed to really like her. She sent me photos during their stay and kept in contact with me. Drop off and pick up were easy. Will use her again and reccomend her to friends.”
“Abby is an incredibly kind person and we were very happy with Renley’s weekend stay! She went out of her way to accommodate a meet and greet the day before and throughout the weekend she sent pictures of Renley and gave multiple pup-dates! Abby’s attention to detail and friendly style made it a fun weekend for Renley. Will definitely be utilizing Abby for future dog sitting needs!”
“Cyndi did an amazing job and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her!! Very nice and I got photos everyday of her! Great communication already planning on booking her for my next trip! She is very caring and I know my dog had a good time!”
“Cleo had a great time again with Madison! She took perfect care of her and sent daily pictures/updates to let me know how things were going. It was such a relief to know Cleo was in good hands while we were away. We would happily book again!”
About: I truly believe dogs deserve to feel just as loved and comfortable while you’re away as they do at home. I’m naturally very warm, cuddly, and attentive, so I love giving pups plenty of affection, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and routine and make them feel like part of the family, not just a guest. And of course, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and little check-ins so you know your pup is happy and cared for! 🐾💕 As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup plenty of time and attention! I have classes Monday–Thursday, typically only one or two classes a day, so I have lots of availability throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. My weekends are also generally flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate different schedules. I love having furry company during my free time, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine! I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment with a calm environment and no children or other pets, so your pup can have plenty of one-on-one attention! There are dedicated dog-friendly areas for potty breaks and playtime, plus a walking trail nearby for walks and extra exercise. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as much as possible while they’re with me and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Stacy was so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“Destiny is so wonderful and easy to communicate with. It is clear how much she enjoys spending time with my pup and the genuine care she has for her. She makes sure she gets an abundance of love and affection and Destiny has also taken care of her when she’s had medical issues going on. She has even cooked her rice before when she’s had an upset tummy! I know my dog looks forward to spending time with her whenever she can!”
“Our dog loved Kristan. She's so sweet and I had no worries leaving our dog with her. He came home exhausted in the best way.. I think he loved being able to run freely in the yard 😊”
“My maltese dog Roméo have been with Kayley for 6 days, when I had to pick him up, Romeo was like so relieved to have been on vacation. She took great care of him and even gave me some tips for Romeo's needs. I highly recommend her if you want your dog to feel like home while you're away. It's plain to see, it was such a great experience for Romeo spending some days at her place. Thank you so much Kayley!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Audrey and Maye! Audrey is a true dog love lover and will care for your pup as if they are her own! Roman has stayed with Audrey and Maye multiple times and has had the best time making himself right at home. Audrey took the time to get to know any and all needs Roman might have and provides updates and photos daily. I have felt so at ease leaving Roman with Audrey and Maye when I need to be out of town! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my fur baby!”
“Cayla was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and so easy to communicate with. She gave us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and took such great care of our handful of a pup! Mochi was so happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend Cayla to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 🐾💗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
We had such a wonderful experience with Ginger’s first stay with Alyson! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet and getting Ginger booked for the same week, which we really appreciated. Alyson has a fenced-in backyard where Ginger had plenty of room to roam and explore, and she was welcome to enjoy the furniture and feel right at home. Alyson’s two children were wonderful with Ginger and loved helping care for her, including taking her on walks with parental supervision. I especially loved receiving all the photos throughout her stay and being able to check in and see how Ginger was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for! Ginger made some wonderful new friends, and she can’t wait to go back and visit them again! If you’re looking for a Rover sitter in the area, I highly recommend Alyson. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🐾❤️
Jessica and her partner are awesome. They’ve watched my boys twice now. And every single time I feel at ease when they’re with her. She’s very responsive and I get lots of pics of my boys when I’m away. She loves on them and they love her back! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is just like me,very nervous to leave their fur babies with just anyone. She’s great!
