About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday every week. Weekdays are 4-11 and weekends are 8-5. If your pet isn’t able to stay home alone for that amount of time, then this might not be the best fit! I also have class Monday-Friday where I am out no longer than 3 hours each day. I am dedicated to catering to your pets needs and want to work around the schedule that is best for them! I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
“Emma has been doing drop in visits with our 3 dogs on multiple occasions and had done an exceptional job! We have an old, blind dog that is 14 and two others. She has built a nice relationship with our lab/ Rottweiler as he is nervous with new people. We will be utilizing her loving care on future drop ins. Thanks Emma!”


About: Hi! I'm Kaysin. I've grown up with dogs in my home my entire life. I've been taking care of dogs for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was 10 years old. I have experience with different sizes of dogs from Pomeranians to Great Pyrenees. I've also cared for dogs of all different personalities, routines, ages, and I'm well versed basic care-taking procedures like walking, feeding, potty-breaks, medications, and of course, playing! I'm a big dog lover, and I'll make sure your pups feel loved and treasured while you're away! I'm currently a second year student at KU with a part time job in house cleaning as well. I'm available weekdays for walks and drop-ins as needed, and most weekends for house-sitting! I'm comfortable house-sitting for both dogs and cats. I am capable of taking dogs for walks for exercise, letting them out to potty, and building trust with the more anxious pups as well! I'm willing to work with you to meet any of your dog's or cat's needs!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Amelia and Matthew were amazing! They checked in on our dogs before and after their hired time. They seemed to truly care about our fur babies evident by the sheer amount of photos they took during their visits. They were prompt and communicated well. Will 100% be hiring again.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and grew up taking care of both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. I have experience with feeding, walking, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs and a cat of my own. I’m used to regular feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get attention throughout the day. Because of this, I’m very flexible and can easily fit in check-ins, walks, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m consistent, reliable, and make sure every pet gets the time and care they deserve. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. With two friendly dogs and a cat at home, I’m experienced in managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I always prioritize safety, whether that means supervised interactions, keeping pets on their normal routine, or separating animals if needed. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
About: As a seasoned pet owner and sitter, I love being a Rover sitter connecting pet parents in the Lawrence area! With a fenced backyard and a flexible schedule, your furry friend will have a safe and fun place to stay, whether it’s for the day or during your vacation. I specialize in caring for special needs and senior pets, offering tailored attention to ensure their comfort. Need some light training or a thorough brush-out? I’ve got you covered. Let’s make sure your pet feels right at home! I work 30 hours a week at a restaurant, but shifts are usually never longer than 8 hours. The rest of my time is spent at home studying to be a physical therapy assistant. I thoroughly enjoy having furry friends stay over and keep me company while I pursue my career goals and education. I'm usually up by 7am am every day, so early drop-offs before your work shift are no problem! I am BIG on communication while your pet is in my care. Our initial meeting will include a quick interview so I can learn your pet's schedule, typical behaviors, special care instructions, and play preferences. For boarding, I like to provide a daily recap text and even a few pictures so you can see your pet's level of comfort and care. If you are using my daycare services, I will take note of feeding and walking/outside times as well as other highlights to summarize at pick-up time. I'm a big cuddler who is also very respectful of pets who aren't. Animals are allowed anywhere with an open door and can sit or lay down on furniture (unless you've directed otherwise). All plants are high up and non-toxic. I have a large living room and kitchen with multiple spots for food and water that can be set for any pets who have trouble sharing. The tree-lined fence of my yard is six feet tall and wooden, helping deter even the most agile pet from jumping or digging their way out. You are welcome to bring any beds, blankets, toys, crates, food bowls, or any other item that will help make your pet feel at home.

“Absolutely 100% recommend Lakyn & Alex! It's difficult to leave your pet behind, but with these two you will have nothing to worry about. I could tell my cat was much more relaxed than usual and even opened up to them (which is rare). I feel very lucky to have had them taken care of Syl, and I know she feels the same way. Thank you so much, Lakyn and Alex!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including managing up to four dogs together, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable, especially when they’re away from their owners. I can handle feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and basic reinforcement of good behavior. I also understand how to stay calm in unexpected situations and make sure every pet gets individual attention, love, and care. I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their safety and happiness. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a student, and I manage my time well, so I always have dedicated hours for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m responsible, reliable, and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet. I have my own dog, so I’m familiar with pet behavior, boundaries, and creating a safe space at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s home, I make sure the area is secure, clean, and free of hazards. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any instructions from the owner carefully. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and relaxed while in my care.
About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like a family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is a dog paradise where they can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.

About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.
About: I’ve lived with animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to spend time with them. Since moving away for college, I especially miss having furry companions around, so I’m excited to give your pets the same care and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for cats and small dogs, as well as larger dogs. I have experience with pet sitting, since I have been doing it on and off for the past couple of years. I’ve been responsible for feeding, playing with, supervising, and generally keeping pets happy and comfortable. Before I became the primary caregiver for the dog in my household, I also had a guinea pig who managed to learn even more tricks than our dog! I’m patient, attentive, and happy to work with each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your pet wants an energetic walk, some playtime, or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. As a part-time worker and student, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of gaps throughout the day that I can dedicate to pet care. This allows me to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide care, walks, playtime, or check-ins at a variety of times. While pets are not allowed to stay overnight in my apartment, I’m happy to care for them in your home and make sure they receive plenty of attention while you’re away. I provide pet care in my client’s home, allowing pets to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions from their owners. I’ll also make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout each visit. Since pets are not allowed to stay in my apartment, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and walks at your home.

“HUGE thanks to Michele for being able to come over on such short notice to let my pup out during the day!! I have used Michele a handful of times, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her and her family. Thanks again, Michele! :)”

About: I am comfortable caring for multiple dogs at the same time and making sure each one gets the attention they need. For the past three summers, I have helped families by taking care of their dogs while they are away on trips or out of town. I have worked with puppies as they grow and learn, while also caring for the adult dogs at the same time. Also being able to keep their routines consistent and walks enjoyable. I am patient, attentive, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work a part-time job and I am also a current junior at The University of Kansas, which allows me to be flexible in between classes and shifts.

I respect my clients homes and work to build trust with the client.
About: I started out casually dog sitting ever since I was in elementary school. It was more of a treat for me than for the owners! In highschool, our family fostered a future service dog (a cute lab pup). Throughout college, I worked as a professional dog walker and also at a front desk of a veterinary clinic. I've been overnight dog sitting for the past few years and having a blast with it! Regular walks, supervised feeding and playing, and grooming are all in my wheelhouse. Looking forward to meeting new dog pals! I also love cats but unfortunately cannot host them in my home, as my dog is not friendly to them, but can do drop ins! As a student, I have a flexible schedule to come back pretty regularly to check in on everyone; open weekend availability. Whether it is check-ins for walks and feeding, or overnight stays, your pet's wellbeing is my priority! There are nice walking trails by my duplex, so potty breaks and stimulation will be frequent. I have many toys as my dog gets gifted them, but she is not a huge fan. Dogs will be allowed on the furniture so they can relax and have a happy time! If I am dogsitting in someone else's home, I am very mindful of the space and abide by any and all rules mentioned to me. I can also help care for plants and do some cleaning! I love making all pets as comfortable as possible. Cats are also a complete joy, so I look forward to any and all pets! For dog walks, I try my best to find nice relaxing areas with plenty of smells! For all services, a surplus of photos will be sent! As a dog owner, it's a great feeling to see your pal doing well while you are away (:
About: I have taken care of dogs, from small but mighty Shibu Inu's, to big but nothing but calm Pitbulls. For what feels like most of my life. I know many different kinds of enrichment activities to keep the pups purr-feclty stimulated. As a person who is currently working part-time, I prioritize regular check-in with my furry friends, the pet's well-being remains the most important part of the job. I have a fenced yard and a pool, but they will have a round of clock check- ins and care, with enough time to let them still be dog's. When it is in the client's home, there will be always, attentive care in the familiar surroundings of their own home, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Sarah was wonderful with Sadie over Labor Day weekend! Sadie can be a little apprehensive with new people, but Sarah was so patient with her and took the time to let her get comfortable. She kept me updated, sent lots of great pictures, and spent plenty of time with Sadie giving her lots of attention. It was such a relief knowing Sadie was happy and being well cared for while we were away. I would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her!
Amelia and Matthew were amazing! They checked in on our dogs before and after their hired time. They seemed to truly care about our fur babies evident by the sheer amount of photos they took during their visits. They were prompt and communicated well. Will 100% be hiring again.

Iryna provided a positive experience for my dog while I had to be out of town. She was prompt, reliable, and gave eye drop medication without any issue. Really appreciated her care for my boy and the number of pictures I received each visit! It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.

I had a medical emergency and had to be admitted to the hospital. I had used Kyra previously so I called her last minute and she was able to take care of my fur babies. You don't know how much that calmed my nerves that she was able to take care of them. She does an amazing job and my dogs love her. I highly recomend her. Great job Kyra!

Sierra was great! On short notice, she was able to come over and hang out with my pups while I was gone most of the day. Sierra was communicative, reliable, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I would highly recommend Sierra and will definitely book with Sierra again in the future!

Emma has been doing drop in visits with our 3 dogs on multiple occasions and had done an exceptional job! We have an old, blind dog that is 14 and two others. She has built a nice relationship with our lab/ Rottweiler as he is nervous with new people. We will be utilizing her loving care on future drop ins. Thanks Emma!
