“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!”

“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.”

“Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Cheryl did a wonderful job with Lady. She kept us informed with daily pictures and comments. A plus rating. We will definitely use her as our primary dog sitter and highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Petra took great of my pup! From the pictures she sent it was like doggy summer camp! They went on lots of walks and adventures, and he was tuckered out in the best way when we got home!”

“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!!”
“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! ?”

“Emily was absolutely amazing! She agreed to our booking last-minute and was so friendly and welcoming when I dropped off the cats. She provided lots of pictures and videos and gave great updates of our kitties! She was definitely knowledgeable about cats and was very comfortable handling the two different personality types of our cats. She also has a beautiful home with lots of space for your pets to roam around! I HIGHLY recommend to board your pets with Emily! She is worth every penny! So much better than boarding your pets at a vets office! Thank you so much again!!”

“Melanie is amazing, super kind, and beyond accommodating. She cares about my pup just as much as I do. She’s always super responsive and sends great updates with awesome pictures. Highly recommend.”

“Elizabeth and Christopher and their family took excellent care of our dog Bruce and cat Toast. They communicated promptly and kept us well updated while we were gone. I can tell our boys were well cared for, we would definitely use them again! They also made drop-off and pickup and a breeze.”

“Natalia was legit the BEST. She kept me updated on sundae all throughout the day. I was also late picking up the fur babe and she was so understanding! She’s your girl! Sundae will be back! ❤️”

“Nicole is absolutely incredible. She treated our pups like family for sure. Her backyard is an oasis for any dog that likes to run. And her kids are ready willing and able to play with the dogs. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and love you gave to our doggies.”

“This is my third time booking with Valentine! She does a great job ensuring the comfortability of my cat! My cat is usually shy but is always quick to warm up to Valentine. Valentine does also does a great job communicating and keeping you updated!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I didn’t know what to expect. But Regan and her brother, Reece did an excellent job with Holyfield. Getting updates was extremely helpful so I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away.”


“Michele was great! Our dogs loved her home and they came back DOG tired from all the playing. I received pictures and videos while we were out of town and she gave them their meds. I know they enjoyed the bedtime snuggles too! I highly recommend her for dog sitting.”


“Had no issues! He took my Cooper last minute, is affordable, and him and his wife took great care of him! He was tired and tuckered out when he got home. Had great communication anytime I messaged.”

Lawrence dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.

Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.

I was very anxious about leaving my also very anxious dog. She has bad separation anxiety but Bailee did a wonderful job of showing understanding and patience with my girl. She kept me updated on how she was doing everyday and made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would definitely recommend her and I will absolutely book her again sometime!

Tamber was super responsive the entire time and communicated regularly, which I really appreciated. She also sent photo updates of my dogs so I always knew they were doing well. Her fenced-in yard was a huge plus and made things really convenient for our senior dogs. I could tell she was really sweet and patient with my older pups. I would definitely use her again!

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.
