“Jacklyn did an outstanding job taking care of our pup over a four-day stay. This was our first time boarding him anywhere other than family, and she works hard to make the dogs and owners feel at ease starting from the initial meet-and-greet. It's evident that she cares about the animals and takes the job seriously. We received consistent updates and pictures which were highly appreciated. We definitely plan to use her again.”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
“Nancy and her husband took such amazing care of Barley. They kept him active and loved on him as much as we do. We highly recommend them and will contact them in the future.”
“Ernie didn’t skip a beat while with Bethany. I appreciate that she was flexible with a schedule that kept changing due to emergency. Sweet family and furry friends .”
“Amazing dog sitters! Sent me pictures and kept me updated with my dog while I was out of town for 5 days. Will definitely book with them again! They are also close by my home which is a plus :)”
“Fiona provided a safe and loving environment for our dog. She sent us pictures and updates regularly and described our dog’s behavior and outdoor activities. Fiona also followed our extensive meal and supplement schedule for our dog’s behavior and lots of love. We definitely recommend her to other dog owners.”
“Valerie was a lifesaver when I needed to book her and she had the availability last minute to watch after my 2 dogs. She updated me every single day under her care and would contact me when she had questions just to make sure that my dogs were comfortable and had the proper csre that they needed while I was away. She took them on walks and to the park (checked in with me first), and they had a great time with Valerie! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Britney took excellent care of my Weimaraner "Cash". She and her husband provided daily updates along with pictures proving he was spoiled rotten. We will absolutely call on her again! :)”
“We are so grateful to have found Destinee! My dogs have been going to her for over a year and she is reliable, flexible and great with communication and sending photo updates. We hate to leave our dogs when we go out of town but knowing they are in good hands with a sitter that genuinely loves our pups makes us worry less. Thank you for taking such good care of Apollo and Melody!”
“We are so pleased we found Julie! She was so consistent with communicating and sending photos. Our girl had so much fun with her dogs (and even seemed to get along with the cat!). Needless to say, Lady come home exhausted! :)”
“Kathryn and Garrison took such good care of our Mabel while we were out of town! It ended up being a vacation for Mabel too - she got lots of love and enjoyed running around their backyard! We appreciated the consistent communication and they made sure to understand Mabel’s needs, which put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend this pair!”
“Shelley was great and very accommodating on short notice. We appreciated the daily pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend Shelley and would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”
“Adam and Allison are amazing! Our dogs had such a great time, I don’t think they even wanted to come home with us! They sent regular updates and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. They were exhausted once we got home which just shows how much fun they had. We will definitely be using them for our future trips!”

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. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
