“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 took amazing care of our girl! Extremely responsive, sent plenty of updates, and communicated clearly throughout our trip. Can’t recommend enough, thank you so much Iryna!”
“5 stars! Kyra was incredibly responsive & easy to work with. She took great care of my two cats and went above and beyond to make sure my plants were taken care of as well. By the pictures she was able to get with my cats, you can tell animals get a great vibe and feel safe/comfortable with her. Thank you, Kyra!”
“Steve was very attentive and thorough. He took great care of my fur babies so I was able to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Steve and will use his services again in the future.”
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 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.
“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 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 golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. 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.
“Mercedes is excellent with my 4-year-old bully mix! She provides great animal care and communicates very well. Her Rover cards and photos give me peace of mind that my buddy is happy and healthy during the day when I’m at work. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Lauren helped take care of our pups last minute. She watched them carefully in the backyard, as one of our dogs is a digger. She was also very responsive in her communication. We’d definitely book her again”
“Elyea is great with my dog Hank!! Her schedule was very flexible to accommodate mid day walks & she was very responsive. Always on time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of friends neighbors dogs and cats. I have had to feed and take of my own dog for about 5 years now. I also have 2 cats that I take care of also. One of my cats is almost 8 so she is starting to show signs of old age. I truly know what it takes to take care of pets and how much exercise and quality time they need to be healthy and happy! I have 2 cats and a Boxer- Lab mix dog and I feed and take care of them. I take my dog on a walk any chance I get. I have a fenced yard and a dog who would love to play and I can crate your dog in need be but I’m sure they will
“Being new to the area, finding a reliable cat sitter was one of my biggest stresses before traveling, so I’m especially grateful to have found Eva to watch Mugi. She was easy to work with, and her communication was always prompt and clear. Eva fully respected my home, followed all the instructions carefully, and sent thorough notes and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also went the extra mile by brushing Mugi and spending time to keep him company, and it looked to me Mugi enjoyed her visits as well. I’d definitely recommend Eva to other pet parents who are looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Our dog Allie just loves Ava. She and our high anxiety dog hit it off right away. Ava is always on time. We already have Ava booked for our vacation in a few weeks. We feel very comfortable leaving our baby in her care.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
