“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
“Steve did a fantastic job of taking care of our pets while we were out of town. He was completely dependable, providing detailed and friendly updates every day. I will not hesitate to contact him again the next time we need a pet sitter. I highly recommend Steve and his services.”
“Iryna provided a positive experience for my dog while I had to be out of town. She was prompt, reliable, and gave eye drop medication without any issue. Really appreciated her care for my boy and the number of pictures I received each visit! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.”
“Arianna was awesome! We were in need of a dog sitter for our two dogs after a last minute cancelation. We were so luck to have found her. She was punctual, professional and very kind. She met us and our dogs beforehand which put us at ease. When stopping by for the drop in she provided us with pictures and updates letting us know how everything was going. If we are in need of a sitter again, we hope to use Arianna. We definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren was fantastic to work with and our pets were well taken care of while we were gone! Excellent communication and we enjoy all of the photos she sent during her drop in visits. 😊”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kyra. She provides the absolute best care for our pup & kitties. She’s incredibly attentive, responsive, and ALWAYS goes the extra mile to support our needs.”
“Elyea took the best care of Astro while I was gone for the week of Thanksgiving! She recorded all her check ins with him and provided pictures of him while she played with him, which I was able to save quite a few of them!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Lauren was great at taking pictures and updating us on little details of how our dog was. She spent time with her and did an amazing job. I will use her in the future!!”
About: I grew up with four dogs, and love how playful dogs can be. I love taking my dogs for walks and playing keep away with their toys. I am currently off of law school for the summer, so I am pretty available and flexible. I teach dance in the evenings, but have time to still check in on animals! I can take your dogs out, scoop cat's litter boxes, feed animals, take them for walks, play with them, give meds, whatever you need! I have lots of pet sitting experience and understand being a pet parent.
“Our dog Allie just loves Ava. She and our high anxiety dog hit it off right away. Ava is always on time. We already have Ava booked for our vacation in a few weeks. We feel very comfortable leaving our baby in her care.”
About: I’ve grown up having multiple cats and dogs of various breeds. I love animals of all kinds and I know how to care for them. I work a full-time 8-5 job in an office but I am available for pet care any evening or full time on the weekends as well. I can also do check-ins before work, during my lunch break (12-1pm), or after 5. I’m great at following care instructions and I get along with every pet I’ve ever met! I’ll adjust to whatever specific care instructions you provide!
“Absolutely 100% recommend Lakyn & Alex! It's difficult to leave your pet behind, but with these two you will have nothing to worry about. I could tell my cat was much more relaxed than usual and even opened up to them (which is rare). I feel very lucky to have had them taken care of Syl, and I know she feels the same way. Thank you so much, Lakyn and Alex!!”
About: Quality caretaker and enthusiastic attention giver with boots made for walking. I’ve been running around with dogs since before I can remember and have experience working with a varied range of personalities, temperaments, and needs - at all stages of life. Books currently open! My schedule is open, available for both short and long-term care but ideally seeking to provide care for candidates who would like to build an established rapport with consistent routine. I can provide both drop-in & overnight in-home care at this time. Comfortable walking, feeding, teaching, playing, or simply providing regular affection and companionship. Love to go on more involved adventures - just let me know what you’re looking for and we can see if it is a good fit!

Hailie is such an incredible sitter! She’s amazing with my cat, Max, and she’s great at giving constant updates and going out of her way to make sure Max is well taken care of. She’s also been available every time I’ve booked with her. So I highly recommend booking her; she’s the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lawrence on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
