“Kyra was excellent with my two ragdolls! One needed several meds and fluids, and she administered them with ease. I loved the photo updates and seeing they were so well-cared for. I am so glad we found Kyra on short notice before our trip, and I highly recommend her for pet sitting!”
“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.”
About: I started pet sitting a couple years ago for my family and friends and it’s truly a job I love doing. I have experience with pet sitting several different dogs, varying in age and breed. I have experience with senior dogs. My responsibilities while pet sitting dogs included taking dogs on daily walks, preparing food and water, administering medication, and even giving baths. I’m currently a college student at the University of Kansas, and I am taking classes on the weekdays. I have selected that I’m available on all weekdays, because I have several gaps between classes that will allow me check on and take care of your pets every 2-4 hours. After 3 o’clock on every weekday except Thursday I will be able provide full time care as well as on weekends. My goal is to provide the best care for your pet, and I’m prepared to walk, play, feed, crate, clean and do whatever is needed to provide your pet with the best care.
“Kyra did a great job taking care of my cat Bella! She was reliable and I could tell Bella was so happy with her. It was so nice to know that she was in good hands while we were away.”
“Terra was amazing! We found her on Rover somewhat last minute after some issues with our other sitter, and I am so glad we did! Terra was so flexible when we had to make some last minute changes to her care schedule due to our kitty, Nickel, coming down with a UTI the morning we were leaving for vacation. Terra proceeded to take such great care of Nickel. She kept us regularly updated about how Nickel was doing, and sent pictures, which were so comforting to see. Nickel was not so sure about taking his meds from a new person, but Terra did a great job working with him and trying different strategies to help him. All-in-all, Terra went above and beyond in so many ways, and we feel so fortunate that our little guy was in her care. We definitely highly recommend, Terra!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I’ve had the joy of caring for both dogs and cats (my own, family members, friends, and a handful of clients), I truly love what I do. I’m responsible, dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I would love the opportunity to get to know your furry friend and provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ My availability: Monday: 11:30am-1:30pm, 3:30pm-6pm Tuesday: 11:30am-3:30pm Wednesday: 11:30am-1:30pm, 3:30pm-6pm Friday: 11:30am-1:30pm I am a college student here in Lawrence, my class schedule is typically pretty set, but I can be flexible at times when class is cancelled or put online:) I’ll always treat your pup like I would my own! Safety and trust are my top two priorities with fun for your pup right behind them:) I’m very caring and responsible, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. If you have any specific instructions let me know and I'll be sure to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care! ❤️
About: I have had pets my whole life. I also have volunteered at the local animal shelter in my hometown for the past 7 years, so I have plenty of experience in animal welfare. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I generally have a lot of time on my hands. This will give me plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am unable to keep pets in my household, so this will only allow me to take care of your pets through drop-in visits, house sitting, or dog walking.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve. I will make sure that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly happy! I pet sit in STL over the summer and Lawrence KS from August-May Between May-August I work part time at the Sunset Country club. Even with my work I should and will be able to schedule and give your pets the best of care that includes at least 3 or more check ins per day and walks twice or more a day, depending on their needs and your request. I do not work Mondays, which makes me more free! From August-May I am a full time student with a lot of free time to walk pets, stop in, watch them, and more! I care for pets to the best of my ability and give them the most love and care I am capable of! Between my two households, I have 2 dogs and recently one that passed. I take care of my pets and others pets to the best of my ability and want to ensure that your pets are cared for and you trust and are confident that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly, happy! I will always adjust to you and your pets needs, so please communicate openly and fully so I can do my best to give your pets the best!
“Michelle was very punctual and communicative during the stay. Kirara loved her and she sent photos each day. Definitely recommend for check ins or house sitting. Will most definitely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I often watch my friends’ pets when they travel, and I really enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I already have a pretty consistent routine with work and daily life, so I plan pet care around that. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure I always have enough time to properly care for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs, while also keeping the home tidy and secure
About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.
About: I have worked at a vet, taken care of my own animals as well as family and friends. I have dealt with dogs and cats of all sizes. It will work with my job, get me exercise, and give me extra income I need. If I didn't have a weakness to blood, I would have been a veterinarian. I always make sure that they are exercised, played with, and taken to a park if necessary. I never hurt an animal but believe in discipline.
“Nico is truly a pet whisperer. She has such a gentle, intuitive way with animals, and my senior dog, Pen Pen, absolutely adores her. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and takes the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She’s also incredibly respectful of my home and consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Knowing Pen Pen is with someone so attentive and compassionate gives me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Nico to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and thoughtful care for their pets—especially senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention.”

Iryna was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my cat, Peaches, and made sure she received her daily medication without any problems. Peaches is a shy cat who needs extra care and patience, so I really appreciated how kind, attentive, and caring Iryna was with her. She kept me reassured knowing that Peaches was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Iryna, for taking such good care of my little girl! ❤️🐱
Steve has been amazing with our pets. He is punctual and keeps us up to date with their daily activities, while we are out of state. He is highly experienced with our difficult pet family. We have asked him to assist us multiple times, and have always come home to happy healthy pets. We will continue to book with him.
Mary was a fantastic sitter for our two cats while we were away on a lengthy vacation. From our first meeting, she was proactive, communicative, inquisitive, and flexible. And during our trip, we observed that Mary is responsible, thorough, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very pleasant! She touched base (outside of Rover reports) when needed and shared photos every day, which we all enjoyed. We felt at-ease knowing that our pets and house were in good hands, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire or recommend Mary in the future!
Kyra has been amazing! I had her booked for a trip back home but a family emergency forced me to leave a week early. She came over within 30 minutes to pick up the key, meet my cats, and learn about their routine. If all of that wasn’t already enough, she had been fantastic communicating with me, sending pictures, and sharing updates. Finally, the icing on the cake, my shy kitty (Beans) has never come out for any sitter. Kyra was patient and kind and Beans grew to trust her. By the end of the stay he was coming out to greet her. Truly a loving pet sitter that not only cares for the cats but also puts the owner at ease. Thank you! 😊
Ava was very responsive, nice, and did an excellent job communicating any changes. The kitties seemed to love her and I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies. :) She was also kind enough to bring in the mail for us on our extended trip.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
