“Our dogs spent a week with Steve and had such a lovely time! Steve was very easy to work with and took great care of our pups. Also, if you have a pet with special needs (one of our girls is partially paralyzed and the other needs eye drops twice a day) I would absolutely recommend Steve.”
“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 did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Cheri was great with our senior dog, Peaches. We were traveling and needed to find a sitter close to our daughters house. So thankful we found Cheri. She took wonderful care of Peaches and was very responsive and flexible with the schedule. If we need a sitter again when in the area, we will definitely contact her again. Thank you!!!”
“Petra did an amazing job watching my two boys and it made our trip better knowing they were in good hands. Seeing the daily photos from the walks and cuddles made us very happy. The boys were both super happy at pickup and I could tell they both had a lot of fun. We will definitely be returning for future trips.”

I could definitely see their love for animals which made me very confident in leaving my dog in their hands. He is staying with them again in a couple weeks :) I highly recommend their services! They also kept me updated on Klaus daily with pictures which I loved. Thank you Amelia and Matthew!”
“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. 😄”
“We just had our beloved husky stay with Nichole and her family for six days. It started with a meet and greet and our dog loved meeting and playing with her three dogs. After meeting Nichole and her lovely family, I knew right away my dog would be well cared for. They have a massive fenced in backyard in a great neighborhood. I received video and picture updates while we were gone and a recap of activities when I picked up our dog. I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely plan on booking with her again next time we go out of town. Thank you Nichole for taking such good care of our baby!”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Brandin and his spine are ALWAYS available for our Cocoa girl! She loves coming here. We recently started booking overnights as well and it's been splendid. We trust Brandin and his spouse to the care of our daughter when we need. They've allowed us to book last minute with no extra charge. We will always come back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
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.

As of July 2026, there are 771 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.
93% 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.
