“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hello my name is Quincie! I am an animal lover and I provide excellent care to cats and dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats never not having at least one around. I have always taken care of my own pets but as far as other people’s pets I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family since I was about 10 years old. I also have experience with animals that have very high needs. I’ve had insane puppies that need lots of guidance and training, senior cats and dogs that need patience, pets with important medical needs, and I’ve even owned a cat with diabetes who needed insulin injections twice daily with strict eating schedules. Currently I am working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Lawrence Kansas. I recently moved here and am wanting to start pet sitting again! I currently am working about 35 hours a week, typically early mornings. I am happy to care for your pets as long as our schedules align. Please reach out with any questions! In clients home I will follow their exact instructions and use my best judgment. I understand that all pets and pet parents operate differently so I think it is best to do what your pet is used to while you are away especially with nervous pets.
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care that gives owners complete peace of mind. I work part time and I am free after 12 am to give your pet all the attention that they deserve to make them feel right at home! Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, my goal is the same: keep their routine as close to normal as possible. For boarding, your dog becomes part of my household — same feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits, with free run of a secure, fenced yard and constant supervision. For house sitting, I stay overnight at your place, keeping their routine steady while also looking after your home (mail, lights, the usual). For drop-in visits and walks, every stop includes fresh food and water, a walk or potty break matched to their energy level, and playtime or cuddles. And for day care, I offer supervised one-on-one attention rather than a crowded group setting, balancing active play with rest. Across every service, you’ll get photo and video updates so you always know how your pet’s doing.
About: I have a year and a half of pet-sitting experience through Rover, caring for over 20 dogs, including several repeat clients. I also grew up caring for cats, giving me lifelong experience with pet ownership and animal care. I have experience caring for animals with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, maintaining daily routines, providing necessary medication and companionship, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I prioritize reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Since I am currently on a break from school before hopefully starting dental hygiene school in the fall of '27, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am able to plan my days around their needs. I am also able to give them plenty of attention and companionship. I am also happy to accommodate different schedules and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for! Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely (whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or comfort needs). I keep a calm, watchful eye on pets during walks and playtime, avoiding any unsafe environments or interactions with unfamiliar animals if necessary. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure in the home.
About: My name is Arizza Bea, but I go by my middle name Bea (Bey-yah)! Im an Architecture student who loves to be around pets ♥️ Michael is my loving husband who loves pets too! He is my ultimate supporter for my rover gig :) Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. With years of experience, I make sure every dog and cat feels safe, happy, and loved. I grew up having pet dogs and cats. I took care of my friends and coworkers pets too. It's something that I truly enjoy doing everyday, so taking care of your fur baby is a great privilege! I love walking! Walking with your dog is even better!! For dog walking clients, i make sure your dog is safe and enjoying the walk. I also know how to leash train, so just say it and i can do it! Discounts for repeat clients! I am flexible, day or evening , hours from 30mins to 4hrs or whole evening. I can help you, just let me know and we can negotiate! I have 2 cats at home. In my home, pets get love, playtime, and comfort just like family. In your home, I follow routines closely, ensuring care, safety, and happy paws. I make sure I stick to their routines and keep them comfortable with a new person like me around! I do this for fun and love for pets, so the only thing I want out of this is to meet as many pups and cats as I can and give them and the owners a happy and relaxed experience. Additionally, I will absolutely respect your home during visits ♥️
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!
“Lilly was awesome. She left the house super clean and provided great care for our cats with good communication. I’m a bit picky with sitters and have typically been disappointed in the past, but Lilly did not disappoint whatsoever. We will be booking her again.”
About: I have over a decade of dog care experience. I have worked with senior dogs, physically disabled dogs, and all kinds of dog behavior. I have the ability to go on multi-mile walks or just snuggle for hours. Your dog is boss when they’re in my care, and I’ll do anything in my power to make them more comfortable. If you have a very specific schedule or your dog needs medicine at a specific time, I’m your sitter. My work allows me to have very flexible time, and I am never late. Please allow me the opportunity to make your pet parent life a little easier! I work from home full-time, and I have tons of flexibility in my schedule. I can board animals 24/7, and I’m available for at home check-ins whenever your schedule requires. If your dog boards with me, they will have access to my couch/bed, my apartment’s dog park, and miles of local trails. If your cat boards with me, they will have access to my cat tree, scratching posts, and all the hiding holes they could wish for. Your animal will be safe in my controlled environment, they will always be within eye sight, and they will have all the attention they could want. I pride myself on safety, and your animal will have the best care when they’re with me!
About: I've lived with animals nearly my entire life, and I've looked after pets for friends and family since I was young. In addition to feeding and basic care, I've dealt with elderly, special needs, and temperamental pets. I'm currently writing my doctoral dissertation for my degree at KU, so my summer is very open and flexible until I find more permanent work. I always attempt to forge a trusting friendship with any animal that I care for, frequently using their name and talking to them calmly. For my own cats, I do my best to clean their litterboxes and food areas frequently (when they aren't demanding pets and scritches, that is).
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“If I could leave Marianna a 500 star review, that still wouldn’t be enough. I needed last minute care due to a medical emergency, and she not only accommodated my need with less than 18 hours notice, but she did so with a level of care for my kitties that I have never experienced before. Within 15 minutes of her arrival, I had photos and videos of all of my babies (which is no small feat in itself), and she continued to provide multiple updates, photos, and videos. She was so so so loving and gentle with my kitties, stayed with them all day and overnight, and gave me the comfort and reassurance I was desperately needing. I will absolutely be hiring her every time I need a sitter moving forward (hopefully sans the hospital stay and ideally for a fun getaway instead). Thank you so much, Marianna. There are not enough ways to express my gratitude!”
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lawrence is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
