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. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work hybrid from home, which allows me to provide attentive care for pets. I'm available for boarding, house sitting, and check-ins from Thursday to Sunday. Additionally, I offer check-ins and house sitting on Monday to Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I live in an apartment, but my complex is surrounded by beautiful trees and open space, perfect for walking and running around. There’s always something fun to do outside, whether it’s exploring nature or playing in safe, pet-friendly areas. Inside, I ensure a comfortable and secure environment, keeping toxic foods and hazardous items out of reach.
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.
“Kristina was is great! She went above and beyond and brought in three very heavy chewy boxes from our front porch while checking on our cats! Cats were well taken care of, and we will use her again!”
“Lorrie was great. I had an unexpected funeral out West and Lorrie was able to step in and make sure my fur babies were loved. Lorrie was super flexible which is always a plus when you're planning on the fly...”
“Alex has been doing drop in visits during the work day for our 2 pups for a few weeks now and he’s been wonderful!! Our 2 are polar opposite ends of the spectrum of personality/energy levels and he’s so great/patient with them both.”
“Amber was amazing with the drop in visits with our cat Jasper ?. He is a diabetic cat and is on a strict feeding & insulin injection schedule and she was on point with all of it. She knew exactly how to inject his insulin and followed the proper feeding guide. She made us feel very at ease while we were away! Will be booking again!”
About: Hi! I’m Alyssa. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for my whole life and treat every pet like family. I offer reliable walks, playtime, and cozy overnight stays in a safe, pet-friendly home. I’m comfortable with special diets, medications, and senior or anxious pets. Daily photo updates and prompt communication included — your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority. I am a high school teacher so over summers I have lots of flexibility and during the school year I am gone for 8 hours for the work day M-F. I have a mini doodle Jetta who is 7 years old and she is my best friend in the whole world- I treat every animal that I care for as if they were my own going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and playing in which I will be sure to send you photos.
“Janis was so sweet! She was timely in her care of my cats and in scheduling a meeting-and-greet before the booking. She was communicative and made sure to do everything just as discussed. Would absolutely book her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan. I started raising dogs from the time I was 9. Im from Kentucky, so i’m quite used to farm dogs or bigger breeds. Currently, I have a German Shepard, Miniature Blue Heeler, a Beagle, and a Pit bull who live with me. Not to mention our cat, he kinda does his own thing. All of the animals I have are my children, I love them with every bone in my body. I hope you’ll allow me to love yours too! Currently, this app will be my job. I commute back to Kentucky about once every 2 weeks, and my dogs go with me! We do treat rewards for good behavior, and after every long ride they get plenty. I have a fenced in yard that all of our dogs run around in! Sometimes, I take them to the dog park to play with other pups. My German Shepard is still in training so I have a lot of focus on him. Walks are frequent, food is scheduled, and naps are always!
“Adam did an awesome job with my pups! Adam has cool vibes, communicates very well, and put my mind and heart at ease with my fur bumpkins. Even with a Reno project going on, Adam came through and assisted. Looking forward to the next time Adam gets to work with my trio!”
“Leta was great! Very professional had amazing communication! Feel like she went above and beyond when caring for my cat! Will definitely reach out again the next time I go on vacation!”
“Lauren did a great job with Magic! I felt completely comfortable having her checking in on him and I returned to a happy well taken care of cat. I would definitely book her again!”
“Malika did a great job with house sitting and drop in visits with my dog, Dolly! Dolly is a foster pitbull who was recently pulled from a shelter, and she can be nervous around new people. Malika helped her relax and send lots of pictures and video updates!!”
“Lily is amazing! She was willing to do a meetup beforehand so my cats could get used to her, she takes the best photos, leaves a very discriptive and attentive summary after each visit, she's very confident around the animals, and she gives them so much love and attention! One of our cats has a new diagnosis and we're still getting used to giving him meds, but I knew after the 1st visit I could trust her to handle it with care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Amber has been watching my cat for me for the last five years. My cat is older girl she’s 14 now and Amber is amazing. She’s perfect. She takes really good care of my older cat and I would not have anybody else. Take care of my cat besides Amber when I’m on vacation.
Beth and Scott were absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking with them, and once again, they took incredible care of our dog over a busy holiday week. They kept us updated the entire time and were even flexible enough to refund our last couple of visits when we made it home early. We had total peace of mind while away and will definitely continue booking them in the future!
Malika did a fantastic job with our dog during two 60-minute drop-in visits! She was very communicative throughout the day, sent lots of pictures and updates, and clearly took great care of him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Julia was beyond amazing ! The nicest from start to finish. loved on my fur baby like he was her own . I was worried about being away for extended time but Julia wiped away any and all doubts before day 1 was even finished . She has a repeat client here for sure ❤️
I had a great experience with Lorrie!. Her and her Partner were able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped me feel comfortable and for my dog. She was very patient with my dog Ava, and she completed all her check-ins with photos and great communication throughout. We were able to visit my fiancée’s parents with total peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well cared for. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lawrence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
