“Steve has a GREAT fenced in yard for dogs. His dog, Willie, was really great with Henry. He kept me updated on how Henry adjusted during his 3 day stay. I really appreciated his attentiveness and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Ms. Petra was caring and very considerate. She took great care of my pup, and even made last minute accommodations for me. She has earned a lifelong customer and canine companion”
“Great experience first time using Rover sitting in their home. Lots of pics and updates from Elizabeth!! I felt like our pups were in good hands the whole weekend! Thank you Elizabeth and Christopher 👌👍‼️”
“Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable staying with Lauren, and we had a great experience with her! She was very quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and she sent wonderful updates each day so we knew how things were going. We forgot to bring our dog's bed, but Lauren was kind enough to let Millie use one of the dog beds at her home. It made me feel good knowing how well Millie was getting along at her house, especially hearing about the friendship she developed with one of Lauren's dogs. We would gladly board our dog with Lauren again in the future!”
“Cheryl was so wonderful and flexible. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Miles means so much to me and I appreciated her photos and updates, and I could also tell they gave him so much love that I felt a lot less guilty leaving him!!! She was absolutely great and I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl!!”
“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.”
“I received many photos and updates while my dog was with Lucy. I would highly recommend Lucy for your next pet sitting needs! She took great care of my dog 🩷”
“I was extremely nervous leaving Willow for the first time EVER, but Bailey was so amazing with my girl and SUPER flexible. She made sure to maintain Willow’s routine and updated us frequently! Plenty of pictures and videos of her playing eased my mind and helped me enjoy my time away a little easier. THANK YOU BAILEY! 🫶🏻”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for about four years and have had a corgi in my life for the past year. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I work remotely from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I’m only in the office on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. I’ll care for your pet like I would my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and any special instructions so they can feel right at home.
“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”
“Nate is the best! I’m so thankful I found him & his family. Jett loves his whole family. I always know he is well cared for while I’m on vacation! Jett is always so excited to go on “his vacation to Nate’s!””
“Brittany was very friendly and allowed a 'meet and greet' before we formally agreed to boarding our dogs with her. We felt like she and her family understood golden retriever personality and activity level. She was great about sending pictures and updates. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in good hands and having fun playing! Will definitely book again!”
“If I were a dog, I would think i won the lottery if I got to visit this paradise and meet Marilyn!! My Rusty was absolutely joyous while he was there. Which is unusual as he typically goes into a deep depression when I leave him.”
“Cristina is a great dog caregiver! My dog is blind and she took extra care of him. She is flexible and very accommodating. Her house is a great place for dogs and her fenced backyard is huge! And she took Finn on walks since he does like doing that. I look forward to booking with Cristina again when I go out of town!”
“Angie exceeded our high expectations. She's very detail oriented and took the care of our dog very seriously. We got daily updates which put our mind at ease. A truly loving home for your pup!”
“Brittney and Adam are awesome! They treat our pups like family and I feel so safe having them there. Our old pup and new, little pup both had great experiences. And I love getting pics and updates during their stay. Highly recommend!”
“Anna was fantastic. She gave Leo his medicine and was very understanding and kind when he ended up getting sick. Provided updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend Anna and Leo can’t wait to go back.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lawrence is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. 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.

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.
97% 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, 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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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.
