“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!”

“Leta was wonderful. She was punctual, respectful, and also was very detailed when it came to providing updates which was much appreciated. I would definitely book her again.”

“Ross was fantastic. My Cru can be a handful at times and he really showed up for me when she was not exhibiting her best behavior. He handled the situation professionally, calmly, very effectively and I am very grateful for his time spent with my two dogs. I could not have asked for more. I would definitely rebook him but that’s assuming he would even accept us again given her little spectacle she caused.”

About: I have at least 12 years of experience with animals. Several years experience with family and friends dogs of all sizes and shapes. I do have experience with rescue dogs and cats. I am available evenings Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. I can do overnight. And on Saturdays and Sundays I can swing by in the mornings and evenings and throughout the day to help take care of your animals. I am also available for overnight stays and long-term overnight stays. My cats have run of the house here at my home. I do visit with friends and family that have dogs and I have learned how they interact with their animals and I stay true to how they want their animals to be treated.
“Kylie did. Great job looking after our shy kitties for 10 days. Knew just how to approach them so one even came out to socialize ! We were very happy knowing they were being so well cared for.”


About: I've been around dogs my entire life and gained hands on experience working in a professional dog hotel and daycare environment. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities - from Great Danes & Pit bulls to small breeds like Chihuahuas. I understand canine behavior, safety, and routine, and I strive to make every fur baby feel comfortable, secure and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, drop ins, or overnight care, I provide dependable service, consistent communication, and plenty of photo updates for peace of mind. Animals are truly my passion, and I'm currently working towards building a long-term career in animal care. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own & I look forward to meeting your family furry baby. I currently have complete open availability for daytime & evening daily and accept short - notice bookings. Calendar for 2026 is officially back open!! I'm returning full-time & super excited to meet some new fur babies as well as returning fur babies. I'm extremely flexible,reliable and available for full- time animal care. I'm available every day Monday - Friday. Morning to evening. I work around my client's schedule to make life a lot easier for you. I respect clients homes, maintain a clean environment and ensure doors, gates, and fur babies are always safety secured. My goal is to create a calm, stress- free experience. Your fur babies safety and comfort will be my top priority. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines exactly as requested. During walks & home visits, I'll use secure leashing practices and remain aware of surroundings with frequent photo updates for pet owners peace of mind.
“Abby is fantastic. She took care of our senior cat suffering from cancer with the utmost care and respect while we were on a week long vacation, keeping me updated daily and giving him the care and love that she would have given her own two cats. She cares deeply and has great attention to detail. There was never a moment I had to worry about our pet with Abby in his care. He was a happy guy upon our return, not a thing amiss. You couldn’t ask for a higher quality or trustworthy person in your home. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her the next time we go out of town - 10/10 recommend!”

“Sarah always does an awesome job with our kitties, she’s been our petsitter for several vacations over the past few years. Responsive, friendly, and follows any specific instructions we have! Would highly recommend”


About: My experience includes working as a veterinary assistant and providing personalized pet sitting and dog walking services. I have cared for dogs of different ages, personalities, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require additional patience and attention. My veterinary background has helped me develop strong observational skills, understand animal behavior, recognize potential signs of discomfort, and appreciate the importance of maintaining consistent routines. I am comfortable following detailed feeding instructions, providing exercise and enrichment, and communicating closely with pet parents about their animals’ well-being. I believe every animal deserves individualized care, kindness, and respect. Let’s do a meet and greet. I have a flexible schedule for now. I’m free on the early mornings and late afternoons. Available on the weekends and holidays or for vacations. It all depends of the routine your pet has. I try my best to accommodate my clients to make them feel like they are home and have peace of mind is my priority.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands. I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
“Adam was amazing with my sweet Junebug. She is very shy but she is also curious. He won her over with his attention to her needs. He was reliable, conscientious and took such good care of her. I highly recommend Adam. He won’t disappoint!!”

“Julie and her daughter teamed up to come over 5x a day and take care of our 2 older big dogs! She gave us great pictures and kept us updated on how they were. Both dogs need medicine 2x per day and she kept it all organized! It was a great first experience for leaving our pups home alone for a weekend!”

“I had 4 dogs in 2 groups (one isn't friendly with the others) and Natalie handled them so well! One of mine was a butt to her and she still won him over. I'm a beyond relived and so grateful!!”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they sometimes need. I'm a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra TLC, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I have pretty flexible availability and would love the opportunity to make sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like one of my own! I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. I love spending quality time with animals, so your pets will never feel like just another appointment on my calendar. I'll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and keeps them happy and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, and creating a safe, loving environment for animals is second nature to me. I always prioritize your pet's comfort, follow your instructions carefully, and take the time to understand their individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and well-being will always come first.
“We are so fortunate to have found Tawsha! She has been nothing short of amazing so far and genuinely cares for our girls, even though they’re a bit slow to warm up. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and reliable. Cannot say enough good things about Tawsha, highly recommend!”

About: I’m a reliable Pet Sitter with proven experience providing care for different animal species. I grew up with various animal types, from bunnies to squirrels to dogs and cats! I currently work full time but will still have plenty of time to care for your pup! Available for boarding, walks, and drop in’s 7 days a week. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around, and also live in a large neighborhood that is great for exercising when the yard gets muddy. I have a 5 year old Labrador who is friendly with other dogs and likes to play.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs! I've spent almost 3 years at a doggy daycare, where I'm actively learning how to read dog body language, keep group and 1-on-1 time safe, and handle feeding routines. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with a variety of personalities including dogs who are reactive or display aggressive behavior. I also have my own reactive dog so I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part-time, but I’m free most Mondays and Wednesdays from the morning through late afternoon. Fridays are usually open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., since I work at 2 p.m. Feel free to ask about other days too, and I can let you know what works for me 😊 I unfortunately can't provide space for your beloved pet as I have a reactive dog and cat. However, I believe that I'm able to make your pet feel comfortable in its own home even if you're gone. I can be playful but also relaxed. I will be able to give your pet plenty of attention when they want it!
“Gianna was awesome! She paid great attention to the special needs of my 2 cats (one that needed liquid medicine put into her wet cat food) and was able to provide some play time with them as well. She even took a Petco box that arrived while I was gone inside to bring the huge bag of prescription food inside to open and fill the cat bowls with it. Would definitely use again the next time I needed someone to take care of my kitties.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lawrence is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,611 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
