“Shelley was fantastic. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and my pug was able to play with her dogs. She was also very flexible when I needed to extend the stay last minute. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kelsey was fantastic. Gave us regular updates and clearly cared for our boy Obi. It’s hard for us to leave our dog in other people’s care, and Kelsey made us feel safe and reassured the whole time. Obi has a new babysitter for sure! Thank you for everything Kelsey!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our young Boston Terrier is full of energy, curiosity, and mischief, and Danielle handled her with so much patience and care. It was clear she was well-loved, exercised, and treated like part of the family while we were away. We received updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book with her again!”
“Tori and the kids, thank you so much for hosting Koda. We're so happy to see that Koda is settling in so well and getting all the snuggles. She's already feeling right at home. Thank you again for taking such great care of Koda.”
“Deanna was great with the boys while we were gone and the big snow storm that name in the day we left!!! Im so thankful she has a backyard for the boys to run in and get some exercise while they play in the snow! The boys seem to love going the to visit!”

“Anna took my pup for boarding very last minute when my previous booking had something come up and cancelled. She got me in for an introduction quickly and everything went great. They even brushed my pup who has a very thick undercoat! I will definitely use Anna for future bookings- cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Skyler was excellent! She was flexible with our drop off /pickup times which I really appreciated. She sent lots of updates and pictures, and my anxious Chihuahua looked right at home. We will definitely book her again given the chance!”

“Sara and her family were the absolute best! They took amazing care of our pups while we were away which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worry. We looked forward to her daily updates and accompanying photos, too! I loved the fact that there was someone home during the day and that our dogs were able to play with Sara’s children and pets, too. She was very communicative, professional and most importantly kind. Amazing experience!”

Pet 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. ❤️
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.

There are 750 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lawrence. About 92% of Lawrence sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
