Kyra is such a great find on Rover! She is 100% reliable and takes such good care of Rocko. He is excited to see her every time she arrives. She does a wonderful job with notes and photos as well. Kyra previously stayed with him and I was excited to find her available again. I highly recommend her.

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: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I supervise playgroups, feed dogs, give medications when needed, and make sure they’re safe and having a good time. Working there has given me experience with all kinds of dogs and taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with cats and am happy to care for both friendly, outgoing cats and the more shy, independent ones. I recently graduated from high school and will be starting my pre-veterinary studies at JCCC this fall. My dream is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals just as much as I do and has plenty of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from puppyhood and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may accompany me on visits or overnight stays. We both genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and we’ll make sure your pets are loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of a wide variety of animals, and now have a husky of my own who is part of my family. We love taking walks, hikes, and exploring the sniff spots at the park, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, and routine are for pets. I also have experience volunteering in animal husbandry for a wildlife rehab center, so this is truly a passion and lifestyle for me. Pets are our family. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is being treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I work a remote job which means I have flexibility to take care of your pet(s) throughout the day, and of course flexibility in the evenings and weekends. I currently do not offer in-home care at this time due to limited space. However, I am available to visit your home for check-ins and walks.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, starting with fostering puppies through senior dogs. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and basic care like feeding, walks, and medications. My neighbors trust me to watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cherished. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and well-being. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, especially mornings and evenings. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand every pet has different needs and responsibilities, so I focus on patience and making them feel safe.

About: I currently live and work remotely in Lawrence, Kansas, near Clinton Lake, which allows me to provide attentive and dependable care throughout the day. I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m committed to treating every animal as if it were my own. While attending the University of Kansas, I volunteered for nearly two years at my local Humane Society, gaining valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs. Since I work from home I'll have plenty of time to be attentive towards your pet(s). With flexible hours and being an active person, I will make sure your dog(s) have a safe & happy stay. If you have an active dog(s) to stay with me here in Lawrence, we can do activities at the dog park (on-site) or even places like Clinton Lake and Mutt Run which is nearby too.

I was a brand new customer for Rover, not knowing exactly what I was doing, and Petra responded before I booked and answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable for having someone I’ve never met. Take care of these dogs twice a day. I met her the evening before and then she consistently showed up on time modified her schedule as needed, and the dogs were well taken care of and loved going on the walks. If you’re new to river, Petra is an excellent choice !!

About: 🐾 About Me: Hi there! I’m passionate about pets and have been taking care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with various breeds, including Cairn Terriers, Beagles, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, and a Pit Bull. Each dog has taught me something unique, and I cherish the bond we have/created. ❤️ Fostering Experience: I’ve also had the rewarding experience of being a foster mom for a dog rescue. Caring for these wonderful animals has been immensely fulfilling, and I loved being able to help them transition to their forever homes. My heart is always open to providing a safe and loving environment. 🐶 What I Offer: Playtime & Exercise:** I believe every dog deserves to have fun! Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to keep your pup engaged and happy. Personalized Care:** I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m committed to providing tailored care that suits your furry friend perfectly. Safe Environment:** Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure space where they can feel at home. 🌟 Let’s Connect! If you’re looking for a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver, I’d love to meet your pup! Together, we can ensure they have a fantastic time while you’re away. Feel free to reach out—let’s chat about how I can help! I work a full-time job remotely four days a week, which gives me flexibility during the weekdays. My schedule allows me to be available for dog sitting in the evenings after work and throughout the day on my days off. Additionally, I’m free on weekends, making it easy to provide care for your furry friend when you need it most. •Secure Space: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous materials (like cleaning supplies and small objects) stored out of reach. I ensure that windows and doors are secure to prevent any escapes. •Emergency Preparedness: I have a first aid kit specifically for pets and know basic first aid procedures. I am also familiar with the nearest veterinary clinics and emergency animal hospitals in case of any urgent situations. •Supervised Play: When dogs are playing, I supervise them closely to prevent any roughhousing that could lead to injury. I also monitor their interactions to ensure they are comfortable and safe. •Open Communication: I believe in building trust with both you and your dog. I encourage you to share any specific needs, preferences, or concerns regarding your pet's care. Regular updates and photos can help you feel connected while you’re away. •Consistency: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help your dog feel secure and comfortable in my home. Familiarity fosters trust, and I aim to create a stable environment for your pet. •Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a rapport with your dog. This helps them feel more at ease and creates a trusting relationship. •Comfortable Space: Your dog will have access to a cozy area where they can relax. I provide bedding, toys, and a quiet place for them to unwind. I also ensure that the environment is clean and free from any hazards.

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've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.

About: I have always been known to my parents friends and neighbors and the person to call if you need help watching your animal. I’ve been pet sitting dogs specifically for just over 4 years but before that I watched everything from cats, to fish, and hamsters. I’ve dealt with numerous dogs suffering from seizures along with many recovering from surgery’s so I know how to handle almost everything. I’m currently a college student. I have some Morning commitments however I can be home with your pet for most of the day, or stop by at any point during the day to walk or let them out. I have an english golden retriever myself so there is another dog within my house, however he’s very friendly with other dogs. We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lawrence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lawrence on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,852 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lawrence.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
