“Xue is an amazing dog sitter! Roxy and Gabe were part of their family. In particular, Gabe enjoyed playing with Xue’s children! They have a great set-up for dogs, a large fenced in yard and comfortable deck. Both dogs returned contented and tired! I would recommend Xue and we plan to utilize her in the future!\”


“Absolutely loved my Experience with Emily! Chia came home happy & was very well loved in her time with Emily! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a sitter than I got, especially since it was a bit short notice! We will be 100% booking again with Emily :) She was also amazing in letting us know how our cutie was doing & took so many photos! 🩷”


“Natalia and her husband did a great job with our 2 boys. She sent us daily updates with pictures and our two pups looks happy and well taken care of. Natalia was very prompt with her replies which kept our minds at ease. We will definitely board with her again!”


“Rachel was responsive when I needed a last minutes sitter. I so appreciated her patience as my pups got over their jitters the first night. My mind was put at ease with her photos and updates. It felt like texting a friend who has known my pups forever. Will definitely book with her again!”



“We just got back from our trip and our little babies were so happy. Daniel and Carolyn are amazing. They provided constant updates and took amazing care of our fur babies. I will be coming back to them and I highly recommend them. They are quite simply the BEST.”


“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”


“Daina was awesome! I booked last minute because of plans that came up and she was super quick to respond and very communicative. My dog was so excited to stay with her when I dropped him off, and when I picked him up he was bummed all day that he had to leave. Thank you Daina.”


“Our dogs loved staying with Steve. Steve is very easy to work with and allowed us a vacation free of worry about how the dogs were doing. We will definitely be repeat customers.”


“Loved getting the photos of my boy while he was away from us. He always looked happy and well taken care of in every single one of them. He was very much loved and taken care of!”


“I could tell Tito was in good hands from the moment I dropped him off. It was great to know he was getting some socialization with other pups of similar size. Lauren sent updates throughout his stay. We would definitely use Lauren again!”


“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”


“Grace did a great job taking care of our pup. We got daily pictures and comments and felt so good about leaving her with Grace. We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for boarding.”


“Regan is fabulous! Daisy and I have used her several times and will continue using her. She's great about sending photos and updating throughout the day so I always know how Daisy is doing. I couldn't ask for anyone better.”


“Amelia & Matthew quickly responded to our request for dog sitting within a few days before our unexpected trip out of town. The greet & meet was helpful, since we haven’t used this service in years. We were getting fun updates, videos & pictures of Bailey! Definitly makes it easier to leave our sweet girl, knowing she’s having fun! Excited to have a great option for dog sitting in Lawrence! Thanks 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!

It's clear she treats all animals as if they were hers and that peace of mind is invaluable.”

We had such a wonderful experience with Steve! He went above and beyond to take care of our pup, giving lots of love, attention, and updates while we were away. It was clear our dog felt comfortable and happy in their care. Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

This was the first time Cinnamon had stayed with anyone but family, and it went great. Regan gave lots of updates and pictures, and we could tell Cinnamon was having a good time and getting plenty of exercise, play time, and attention. Would definitely rebook with Regan.
Tamber was incredible! She was very receptive to our high energy dog's needs, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well taken care of, exercised, and happy. Tamber is so great at communicating - providing daily updates with detail. She is quick to respond so it was great to know there was always an open line of communication. I also loved that she offered a meet and greet in her space before we began boarding. We were gone nearly two weeks and Tamber was extremely trustworthy. Would definitely book her again!

It was the week of July 4th. We arranged boarding tentatively, but the did not work out. Looking at Rover schedule again, we contacted Emily for July 2-7. Thankfully, she agreed. Ron and I and our 2 dogs met Emily and her dog Fish, at their lovely home, and the 3 of them began playing in her big backyard. What a handful they must have been, yet Emily sent many photos and said the dogs played and then napped often. Emily was a kind and gracious host who managed the care beautifully. We look forward to boarding with her again, if she is willing and able.. Thank you, Emily!
