“We recently left our dog with Jing for a long weekend and everything went great. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pics/videos through the few days. Will definitely be having ourdog stay with her again”
“My very senior Great Pyr, Katia, was safe and sound for two weeks under Donnie's excellent care. So glad and grateful for him, and especially appreciate the photographs!!”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”
“I have serious trust issues when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone. We met Faith and instantly knew she’d take fantastic care of Murphy. We were pleased with the detailed updates and photos throughout the weekend. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl. We’ll definitely be using Faith again in the near future.”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
“Donna was the perfect fit for my elderly dog Zoey! Zoey struggles with anxiety and can't go to a kennel, but Donna was so loving and attentive. Zoey had a blast and came home in such high spirits!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She had amazing communication throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my dog. She gave him treats, made sure he got plenty of walks, and truly made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m pretty sure he thought he was on a little spa retreat! I would happily book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her.”
“Kat is a great doggo host. She is very knowledgeable about K9's and treated my pup like her own. She is very communicative, sends pictures while your pup is staying with her along with any updates on the shenanigans going on while staying with her. My dog assimilated well with her host pack and I would HIGHLY recommend her if you need daycare, training or boarding. Her energy is great & I enjoyed my time away knowing my dog was in EXCELLENT HANDS. Thanks again Kat!!!!!!!!”
“Simba really enjoyed his one week stay with Melissa. She has a nice fenced yard and 2 beautiful children who Simba really loved. Simba got a lot of exercise and play time (we could check it from his FI collar app). She even brushed him and removed the matting from behind his ears. Simba got play dates with other cute and friendly pups that would come to her day care. Melissa sent us photos and videos of Simba everyday and kept us updated. We highly recommend her for dog sitting and dog boarding services. We will definitely use her services again for Simba. She is absolutely the best.”
“Vanessa was an excellent sitter for our dog, Joey. She sent us photos daily of all of the walks they took during the day, along with updates on how he was doing while he was there. We will definitely keep her in mind when we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Abe had the best time! We got lots of photos of him running around their yard (which has an awesome setup for dogs!) Cherie was very accommodating to our tentative drop off and pickup windows, which was much appreciated. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“We felt really comfortable leaving our skittish boy, Dingo, with Mike and Linda once we met them and saw that he was going to be doted on! We got almost daily pics and didn’t worry about a thing while we were on vacation. Dingo was reportedly loved by their grandchildren too over their Easter Sunday dinner so we weren’t too sure he’d even want to come back home with us but he did!! Highly recommend Mike & Linda! 🩷”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
“I couldn't have for a better sitter. Julia was so communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates. Jake had such a good time and we trust Julia and her family to take care of him.”
“My little Lucy, a dachshund/Chihuahua mix, has serious back problems. Also, she and I spend nearly all day every day together. So leaving her anywhere can be very stressful - for both of us. Yet the opposite is true when Lucy stays with Bob and Kathy and Milo. Bob and Kathy go the extra mile with Lucy, being extra careful to protect her back. And Lucy is in heaven -- racing to their door and anxious to start her vacation. When I come to pick her up, she greets me happily, but then turns back to play with her friends. This doesn't happen in ANY other situations! Lucy clearly enjoys herself and feels totally safe. Finding Bob, Kathy and Milo has been the best thing to happen to Lucy and me!”
About: I love animals of all kinds, but my favorite domesticated animal is a dog. I am known by a lot of my clients and people I know personally as “The Dog Whisperer” I have 2 fur babies of my own who I love more than anything on this green earth. When I am taking care of your fur baby or babies, you can be away peacefully, knowing that they are being loved, cared for, and treated as if they were my own. I say “hi” to dogs before I say “hi” to people. I work 35 minutes from home. I have every other weekend off. I do have to work most holidays but with planning it will work out. If I’m in your home, I will go by your house rules and go with your dog(s) routine the best I can when I am not working. When I am in my own home, I just ask that you bring whatever it is you would use in a day for your furry baby. Leash, harness, food etc. no need for a crate as I have a couple here if needed.
“Our dog Abbie could tell right away that Yingying and her whole family were dog lovers. I had never left our precious pup with anyone through Rover before but felt extremely comfortable leaving her with Yingying and family. They genuinely seemed to enjoy playing with Abbie, were incredibly conscientious about allergies, food, medication, and other doggie necessities, and communication was OUTSTANDING. I would definitely give the highest possible recommendation to Yingying and her family,”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”

Our dog, Nora, stayed with Stacey and her family for a week while we were away, and we could not have been happier with the care that Nora received! We received twice daily updates, with pictures of Nora, and we could tell that she was having a great time. Stacey went above and beyond, giving Nora so much personal attention and affection. It was evident that Nora had become attached to Stacey when I picked Nora up at the end of the week. Nora ran to me and was very happy to see me, but she also ran back to Stacey, offering affection to her as well...torn between me and her new Mom! We are so grateful we found Stacy, and will definitely be calling on her again!
I am so glad we found such a wonderful family to watch Sophie while we were away for a few days. Our family friend who watches her was away and Joseph was quick to respond with a meet and greet request before booking. He sent regular updates with photos of Sophie and his two little boys were also very affectionate and good with Sophie. I would be happy to book Joseph again to watch Sophie when needed.
Alfredo loved hanging out with Jessica and her family, and cannot wait to go back for another stay! Jessica kept in close communication with delightful photos and videos. She handled situations that popped up with grace while keeping us informed. I felt so comfortable with him in her care
Gabriel have done an excellent job taking care of Leo when I needed his services. He usually let's me know about Leo's behavior and that make me feel comfortable knowing that he wants to know more about how to treat Leo. I am glad to have found Gabriel. He is someone I can trust when I need to leave Leo with s

Vanessa is wonderful! She watched our dog for over a week and sent us pictures and videos every day of his stay! She gave him toys to play with, frequent walks, bones to chew and her own dog to play with! And, when our flight home was delayed by 6 hours, she was super gracious and kept him an extra night without any issues. She’s very friendly, kind and a true dog person. I highly recommend her!!
Carina was very easy to work with. She even had many of the items in her home already, like toys and food/water bowls. My dog came back super happy after his time with her. And the next time we booked her, he was even more excited to be back. She is very sweet, attentive and caring!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lawrence is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,721 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lawrence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lawrence home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lawrence.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lawrence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
