“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.”
“Kristina was so sweet to my kitties! She took great care of them and did a wonderful job communicating with me. I loved the pictures she sent while I was away!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
“Alexis did a great job with my dog, Gidget. Alexis fed her, took her outside and stayed with her until she finished her business. She also sent me photos showing that Gidget ate and went outside. Much appreciated! I will hire Alexis again!”
About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked with dogs, cats, and other household pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I genuinely love helping people and building connections within my community. I believe trust, communication, and reliability are the foundation of any great relationship—whether that’s caring for your pets, helping a neighbor, or simply being someone people can count on. My goal is to provide dependable, affordable pet care that gives owners peace of mind while they’re away. I understand that every family’s situation is different, so if pricing is a concern, feel free to reach out and let’s talk. I want quality pet care to be accessible while ensuring your pets receive the attention, love, and respect they deserve. When you book with me, I hope you feel like you’ve found more than just a pet sitter—I hope you’ve found someone you can trust, a friendly face in the community, and a person who genuinely cares about both you and your pets! I currently work part-time, allowing me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight stays on both weekdays and weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, affordable care so pet owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. While pet sitting provides extra income, my goal is much bigger than simply making a quick dollar.

I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing they’ve found someone who truly cares about their pets and treats them like family. My hope is that your pet looks forward to spending time with me, feels safe and comfortable in my care, and enjoys their time away from home just as much as you enjoy knowing they’re in good hands. I provide a calm, loving environment for cats and small dogs and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, exercise, or simply keeping them company, I strive to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners while creating lasting connections within the community.
“Amber came and met both dogs. She was fantastic with Ace! He’s a little crazy and he warmed right up to her. I’d highly recommend her to care for your pets! I know in the future who I’m going to trust dropping in for my dogs.”
“Desiree is always amazing! She takes great photos and leaves detailed notes so I know exactly how my precious cat-son is doing. I can go on trips/vacations knowing my son is in good hands. Because of this, Desiree is my go-to sitter and I am very grateful for her.”

“Carolyn was awesome! She was very thorough, kept us updated with pictures and activities of our cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Will definitely contact her for future occasions!”
“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.”

Lawrence pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time ever using Rover, so we were a little nervous leaving Otto with someone new, but Beth and Scott completely put us at ease. They were fantastic from start to finish and it was obvious they genuinely cared about Otto. The biggest sign to us was that we could tell Otto absolutely loved them. He seemed happy, comfortable, and excited during their visits, which meant so much while we were away. They kept us updated and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We’re so thankful for the care they gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Beth and Scott again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!
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!
