Top rated Lawrence cat sitters
“Savannah was amazing! Very communicative and sent sweet pictures everyday. I was pretty worried about leaving my two cats for the week, but they were happy and healthy! I hope to book her for future trips! Thank you 😊😊😊”
“Steve watched my 3 cats while I lived in Lawrence. He was always very responsive to communications, would ask when I would prefer he stopped by, and sent pictures and any other relevant information. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Elena was absolutely wonderful for our cat and newly adopted kitten! Elena clearly gave them lots of love and playtime during her visits. Plus, communication and updates were great. I highly recommend Elena!”
“Coco was the best sitter I could have asked for! It was my first time using Rover and Coco was a total asset in using the app. They refunded me when I needed my trip to end a day earlier than planned and sent me the CUTEST pictures and detailed updates of my cat. My cat totally loved them and made it really easy to trust them while I was away!”
“Iryna was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, always keeping me updated and thinking ahead about my cat’s needs. She noticed small issues with my cat right away and made sure to flag them so I could address them quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared and went above and beyond. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter!”
“Karen stayed with my kitty while I was on vacation and did a great job! It gave me peace of mind knowing that she was keeping an eye on the house as well. Great communication and everything looked good when I arrived back home.”
“Laela P. is a blessing to have as a doggie caregiver. My Cane Corso Jollene is a big girl and Laela handles her with ease. Jollene is very happy to have Laela drop-in on her two times a day. I feel relaxed knowing Jollene is being cared for by a professional.”
“Elyea was wonderful with our three dogs! We have an old grumpy dog, and a dog with a bit of anxiety - she handled it all with ease. We got an update and pics with each visit which was reassuring for us while we were away. We will definitely be using Elyea again and would HIGHLY recommend her to care for your pets!”
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with pets and have yet to meet one animal I don’t fall in love with. In my adult life I have personally had two dogs of my own, one with serious medical issues and one rescue who I’ve worked with through their trauma. Because of this experience I feel very confident in taking care of your pet too! I currently work part time so I have a great availability to accommodate your schedule. All I need is a little heads up and I will be there! I know that every animal is different so I am more than willing to talk with you about what your specific pets needs are and work from there.
About: I am a canine enrichment coordinator at a boarding facility and I teach basic and intermediate manners training classes. I have a degree in behavior science and I'm hoping to complete my KPA training certification in the near future. Ask about enrichment and basic training add-ons! I work as a full-time enrichment coordinator and dog trainer. As such, I have restricted availability. In general I am free Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays. I am available for dog walking, check-in visits, and house sitting. I can also offer enrichment and basic training services as add-ons. Let's talk about some enrichment strategies to help your dog live a happy and full life!
About: Animals have always had an extremely special place in my heart. Ever since I was a kid I’ve helped care for my family’s own pets: feeding them, caring for their health, giving baths, taking them outside and on walks, and pretty much anything else having a pet entails. I also am in the process of beginning volunteering with the cats and dogs at Lawrence Humane Society! I am a full-time student, but I am available whenever I am not busy with classes. I also have a few volunteering shifts throughout each week that I need to work around, and a job (that I will be done with next month). I provide them with food and water, clean up their litter, play with them, take the dogs on walks, and show all the animals lots of love! I am also flexible and open to doing whatever I am able to.
