“New to Rover, Steve was at the top of the search list and surely Tako and I experienced why. He was great, he has a way with dogs and absolutely loves them! Very chill, laid back, and accommodated very well to my requests or changes. He is very responsive, updates on how Tako is doing, and detailed Tako’s visit at the end. The added bonus is that all I had to provide for Tako for his stay was a bowl and food, Steve took care of the rest! Tako was in very good hands, allowing me to enjoy my trip with no worries about my furry son. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will be asking Steve to dogsit Tako in the future!”
“Petra was a phenomenal sitter for our dogs. She was very communicative and friendly when setting up boarding. She sent photos each day and her property was great for two herding dogs to run around off leash. Perhaps most importantly, our dogs took to her right away since she treated them like her own. Petra is a warm and caring person and I give her my highest recommendation!”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“Amelia and Matthew were a pleasure to entrust with Daisy. The meet and greet was very pleasant, and they asked great questions about how to take care of Daisy. I loved receiving the updates and pictures, and they were always very responsive if I had any further questions. I think Daisy will look forward to seeing them again, would recommend and have already booked a return :)”
“Carolyn took great care of my fur baby! She took him for a lot of walks, sent daily updates and pictures. Nice to have the peace of mind that my baby was well cared for!”
“We will definitely book with Melanie again! She took great care of Rosco and I think he would have been happy to stay even longer. Lots of walks and cuddles were very appreciated :)”
“Cheryl and her family took such great care of our dog! Our dog became part of their family and was loved so well. We got thoughtful updates and pictures each day. Britta is already looking forward to staying again!”
“They made sure Millie had everything she needs. Millie is a shy cat and the family gave her ample of space for her to hide and be comfortable. Elizabeth and her son accommodated last minute changes in the pick up time and made timely and convenient arrangements. I’d love to leave Millie under their care in the future. 😄”
“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!!”
“regan was super helpful! this was my first experience leaving my kitty with a sitter and she made it such a comfortable and positive experience by sharing photos and updates. she is such a sweetie and I cannot recommend enough!”
“Erin was great! She was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away. I loved getting daily updates and pictures. She clearly took great care of my pet and treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“I couldn’t say enough good things about this experience. Magen was so awesome with the pups. They walked them, ran them, took them to the park and I can tell that they loved them the entire time they were being taken care of. Magen even sent us home with home made dog treats and amazing pictures and videos the whole time! I know Duke and Roxzy can’t wait to see her again! ❤️”
“Natalia was great! My dogs were very well cared for & happy when I picked up. Her husband helped me out to my vehicle. My older dog has a hard time loading & he helped me get her in the vehicle. She was very generous and altered my booking because my son got sick at the airport & we had to cancel part of our trip & change to only 1 night instead of 4. She sent pictures & videos after only a couple hours & got our dogs comfortable in their home. Thank you very much!! Would definitely book again!”
“Tamber is amazing. I have left my dog with her twice now and she is not only super responsive, but was flexible with me when my travel plans changed. Never once had to worry about my dogs care plans with Tamber. HIGHLY recommend for your fur babies.”
“I had no worries at all while my fur baby stayed with Karrie. She was communicative and sent pictures several times throughout the day. I will, with no hesitation book Karrie again! Thank you again Karrie!”

I cannot say enough good things about Steve! This was the first time Billie had ever stayed overnight away from home without me, and of course her first time was when I was out of the country for a week. Needless to say, I was a little anxious about how she would do. Billie is the sweetest girl, but she endured some cruelty in life before she joined our family, so it takes time for her to figure out new people and situations. Steve could not have been more perfect for her. He was so patient and kind with her, kept me updated, and honestly just made the whole experience so easy. I never felt like I needed to worry about whether she was okay, which meant more to me than he probably realizes. Being halfway across the world and knowing my girl was safe and loved was such a gift. I’m incredibly grateful to Steve for taking such wonderful care of her, and there is absolutely no question who I’ll trust with Billie the next time I travel. ❤️
Amelia and Matthew were a pleasure to entrust with Daisy. The meet and greet was very pleasant, and they asked great questions about how to take care of Daisy. I loved receiving the updates and pictures, and they were always very responsive if I had any further questions. I think Daisy will look forward to seeing them again, would recommend and have already booked a return :)
Tamber is a lovely person and great sitter. She sent regular updates, was accommodating of scheduling requests, and genuinely seemed to have a good time taking care of our dogs. Tamber is a good communicator and gave our pets the same love as if they were her own. I highly recommend Tamber for boarding and other care options.
Sarah and her son were wonderful with my elder dog. She took good care of the house, sent photo updates, responded promptly to all communications and overall was a pleasure to work with. When she returned the key, my dog was very happy to see her. That says it all.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lawrence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lawrence home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lawrence.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lawrence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
