“Kristina was lovely to work with! Our sweet cat, Athena, took to her immediately as soon as Kristina walked in. Kristina was consistent in her communications with us and provided some amazing photos updates to us. While it was our first time using her, we will definitely be using her exclusively in the future!”
“Amber was always on time for check ins snd very attentive to Echo and Charlie's needs. Charlie is normally shy with people, but he was out and wanting attention from Amber. Amber made a point to play with Echo and even vacuumed our rugs to get rid of husky and cat hair! Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
“I have used Kort several times now and Piper, my 3yr okd rottie, seems very content and happy when he is around. He is very considerate of my home, and my pets. He sends pictures amd messages to let me know how they are doing, and has no issue cleaning up if one of the pets make a mess. Thank you Kort for taking such good care of my girls.”
“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!”
“Janis is the only one I call to take care of my kitties and they all really like her! She comes when she is supposed to, feeds and scoops litter just like she is supposed to!”
“Lauren was absolutely great! Very punctual and the dogs absolutely loved her! Our high energy doodle and our senior pup both listened to her very well. We'll be reaching out again when we need her services!”
“Leta is absolutely amazing! She is so intentional and caring and immediately treated the fur babies like her own. She is very thorough, communicative, friendly, and prompt! Highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Lindi arrived on time and let Ethel be Ethel as the dog got used to seeing her visitor. After things calmed down and Ethel approached and sat with Lindi, we took a short walk around the neighborhood. Lindi is so calm and she asks very good questions to get to know Ethel better.”
“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.”
“Rafael was absolutely phenomenal. He handled drop-ins and walks for my Great Dane—who’s not the easiest dog to walk given her size and past trauma, especially in an area crawling with other dogs—and he did it like a total pro. He clearly was mindful, kept her calm, and made sure everything went smoothly. I got regular updates and felt completely at ease the whole time. I’d absolutely rebook his services and would recommend him to anyone needing reliable, thoughtful care for their dog.”
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.
About: Since a young age, I've had a passion for animals of all kinds. I've taken care of animals ranging from goldfish to bearded dragons to rabbits to doggies. I love them all, which is why I'm training to be a veterinary technician as I transition out of the technology industry, and eventually into a career as a veterinarian. I work from home full-time and am home pretty much all day, aside from the occasional appointment. So I am available to take your pup on lots of adventures. I can take your dog on a long walk at least once a day. I also live near Fort Ben, and like to dogs on longer hikes on the weekend.
About: I was a Rover caregiver for several years, then I adopted a rescue who is reactive to other dogs and had to stop boarding/sitting. I missed interacting with all the great pets I met, so I'm back in action for drop-in visits and walks on weekends. I've been caring for friends' and family pets for almost 30 years. I'm typically very good with anxious/shy dogs, and I'm not squeamish about dogs who give lots of slobbery kisses LOL I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on the weekends or on holidays when I have the day off from work. When doing walks or drop-in visits, I follow my clients' instructions, and have no problems with feeding or administering medications. I also let your pets set the pace and give them space & time needed to get used to me being in their space.
About: ➡️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with as many as 10 cats at once! As an adult, I’ve had three dogs who were part of our family from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. ➡️ I’ve also dog-sat for family members’ dogs many times over the years, always free of charge…perks of being family! ➡️ My partner has also been around dogs and cats for many years, so caring for animals is something we both enjoy. ➡️ We’re also home to an adorable and super-friendly Chinese hamster named Kenji, who would love to meet your furry friends! Kenji is both very laid-back and curious, depending on the time of day. ➡️ I’m home the vast majority of the week and readily available to give your pet plenty of attention. I share custody of my children, so depending on the week, your pet may have quiet one-on-one time with us or enjoy the company of my kids, who will be happy to help give your animals plenty of love and attention. ➡️ We have a one-acre grassy field directly behind our home that provides plenty of space for walks and potty breaks, and our community also has its own fenced-in dog park. We also love hiking and would be thrilled to take your pup along for an adventure! ➡️ We no longer have dogs or cats of our own as they have all crossed over the rainbow bridge, so your pet will receive lots of personalized, one-on-one attention. We’d love the opportunity to give your furry family member a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! ⭐️ I have a consistent and very flexible schedule that allows me to be home and available for pets throughout most of the week. My work schedule is approximately four hours on Mondays and Wednesdays during the school year. Aside from those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care. ⭐️ I also share custody of my three children as mentioned, and our household schedule is predictable. That will allow me to plan around each pet’s individual needs. Some weeks are quieter and other weeks your pet will have the added company of my kids, depending on the dates of your booking. ⭐️ With my flexible availability, I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. ⭐️ I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can receive plenty of individual attention and supervision. Since we do not currently have dogs or cats of our own, your pet can enjoy one-on-one care without having to share the space with other animals. ⭐️ Your pet will be free to roam throughout the common areas of our home and will be welcome in bedrooms with supervision, since those areas have carpeted flooring. If you prefer your pet to be crated at any point, I’m happy to follow your instructions. Depending on the size of your pet, you may need to provide an appropriately sized crate. ⭐️ For outdoor time, I use a leash and collar provided by you and provide walks and potty breaks in the very large grassy area directly behind our home. Our community also has a fenced dog park for appropriate dogs who enjoy more space to play. ⭐️ I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. Since no two pets are exactly alike, I want to make sure your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines are respected throughout their stay. I will always prioritize safe handling and make sure your pet is secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lawrence is $20

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.

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 .

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.
