“Steve is great. Really good guy who obviously cares about his and other people’s pets. He’s very accommodating and flexible. My dogs enjoy being there. Steve has become my go-to pet sitter in Lawrence.”
“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.”

They also kept me updated on Klaus daily with pictures which I loved. Thank you Amelia and Matthew!”

“This family was marvelous with my two dogs. I felt they were well taken care of and got plenty of love. I received an update on both of them and pictures at the end of the day, which was perfect. They both got plenty of outside time and felt comfortable there. I never felt worried and they will go there again when my family goes out of town.”

She listened to my suggestions and Raven finally calmed down enough to realize Erin was a safe person. Thank you for being patient with my young girl.”
“Nicole is very friendly. Her kids were very loving towards our pup. She got lots of snuggles. It was convenient and communication was great. Would definitely use again.”

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. 😄”

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!\”

Maddie found a second home. Rhonda and Larry were the most caring sitters for my sweet dog. Rhonda kept me updated amd sent pictures of Maddie. It was so reassuring that Maddie was in a happy place while I was not able to be with her. I would recommend Rhonda as a pet sitter to anyone. She is great with dogs! Thank you Rhonda for taking good care of Maddie!
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.
Our dog is often aggressive around strangers, but we needed boarding for a vacation. Teresa agreed to meet Monica and she immediately put our girl at ease. Teresa boarded our dog for 4 days and we couldn't be happier with how Teresa treated her! Monica was well cared for and very happy during her stay. We'll definitely book with Teresa 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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 748 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Lawrence sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lawrence landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
