“Kyra did an amazing job watching my fur babies. This was the best choice we made having Kyra take care of them in their own home. We have tried boarding and the dogs did not do good with that. We came home to two happy dogs. I would highly recoment Kyra to watch your animals.”
“Steve went above and beyond during his visit. One of our dogs had run away the night before and Steve helped search for her (which was totally not required of him) while he walked our other dog. Once our lost dog was found, he stayed at our house to receive her (we were out of town) and made sure she was safe and sound. He did everything we asked of him and more. 10/10 would recommend.”
“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!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
“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.”
“Elyea was wonderful! Excellent communication and care. Kept me updated throughout my time away and the boys (2 cats) loved her! She was great with keeping them on their routine and keeping them engaged. She even saved me by adding one more drop-in when my flight was delayed. Would recommend and definitely will re-book (again🙂).”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve. I will make sure that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly happy! I pet sit in STL over the summer and Lawrence KS from August-May Between May-August I work part time at the Sunset Country club. Even with my work I should and will be able to schedule and give your pets the best of care that includes at least 3 or more check ins per day and walks twice or more a day, depending on their needs and your request. I do not work Mondays, which makes me more free! From August-May I am a full time student with a lot of free time to walk pets, stop in, watch them, and more! I care for pets to the best of my ability and give them the most love and care I am capable of! Between my two households, I have 2 dogs and recently one that passed. I take care of my pets and others pets to the best of my ability and want to ensure that your pets are cared for and you trust and are confident that they are healthy, safe, and most importantly, happy! I will always adjust to you and your pets needs, so please communicate openly and fully so I can do my best to give your pets the best!
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.
“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! :)”
“I have been so grateful to have Amelia check in on my cats, three separate times now. She is so reliable, prompt to reply and I will continue to utilize her services as long as I can! She is a lifesaver, every single time!”
About: I started pet sitting a couple years ago for my family and friends and it’s truly a job I love doing. I have experience with pet sitting several different dogs, varying in age and breed. I have experience with senior dogs. My responsibilities while pet sitting dogs included taking dogs on daily walks, preparing food and water, administering medication, and even giving baths. I’m currently a college student at the University of Kansas, and I am taking classes on the weekdays. I have selected that I’m available on all weekdays, because I have several gaps between classes that will allow me check on and take care of your pets every 2-4 hours. After 3 o’clock on every weekday except Thursday I will be able provide full time care as well as on weekends. My goal is to provide the best care for your pet, and I’m prepared to walk, play, feed, crate, clean and do whatever is needed to provide your pet with the best care.
“Kyra is the absolute best pet sitter we have ever had. She’s great with communication & has helped navigate any situation that’s come up with all our pets! We cannot recommend her enough.”
“Arianna did great with our three dogs! One of our dogs is very nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Arianna right away. The dogs were happy as can be when we returned. Will definitely be booking with Arianna 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.
“Clara did a wonderful job with Cookie! My dog is a senior with some concerns and I am so grateful to have found someone we trusted. Clara's communication was great amd we are so pleased. Highly recommend!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Sarah and her boyfriend were not only timely, reliable, kind, and excellent with our dogs.. they went above and beyond with the time and energy they put into caring for our dogs while we were gone. I highly recommend their services and will be using them as dog sitters again myself!
Mary was a fantastic sitter for our two cats while we were away on a lengthy vacation. From our first meeting, she was proactive, communicative, inquisitive, and flexible. And during our trip, we observed that Mary is responsible, thorough, thoughtful, trustworthy, and very pleasant! She touched base (outside of Rover reports) when needed and shared photos every day, which we all enjoyed. We felt at-ease knowing that our pets and house were in good hands, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire or recommend Mary in the future!
Kyra has been amazing! I had her booked for a trip back home but a family emergency forced me to leave a week early. She came over within 30 minutes to pick up the key, meet my cats, and learn about their routine. If all of that wasn’t already enough, she had been fantastic communicating with me, sending pictures, and sharing updates. Finally, the icing on the cake, my shy kitty (Beans) has never come out for any sitter. Kyra was patient and kind and Beans grew to trust her. By the end of the stay he was coming out to greet her. Truly a loving pet sitter that not only cares for the cats but also puts the owner at ease. Thank you! 😊
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!
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!
Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lawrence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
