“Jing and her family were amazing with Penelope! They were loving and kind as well as being the right mixture of adventurous and safe. Our girl had lots of outdoor time to explore in a safe environment and got to socialize with other dogs. It was a great fit, and I would highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur babies. If Penny could talk it would be akin to a little kid coming home from summer camp! She clearly had a blast! ❤️🐶”
“Faith was absolutely wonderful! She recently cared for my two dogs, Roxi and Paisley, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to communicate with, responsive, and made the entire process stress-free. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Faith was reliable, kind, and a delight to work with. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets!”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“Christina as always is great with Leelah and adjusted my pickup due to weather. She also sends me pictures of my little pup and give me regularly updates. Leelah can’t wait to see her friends again.”
“Karen is the best. She was able to take us in with short notice and was very communicative. Frankie definitely thrived and had a great experience with her and her handsome pups. Thanks again!”
“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!!”
“This is the second our dog stayed with Ann and it was just as great as the first. She is so kind and patient with our dog. He has the best time visiting with Ann and is always reluctant to come home! I couldn’t ask for a better stay.”
“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.”
“Dolev was very considerate and accommodating towards my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. She was quick to respond to any questions I had prior to booking and while Chip was in her care she sent me updates as requested. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my two my cats. She was attentive, diligent, and clearly cared about their well-being. When my flight was delayed, she went above and beyond by keeping them for an extra two nights without any issues, which was a huge relief. Communication was clear throughout, and I always felt confident they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Cassandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“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!!!!!!!!”
“Five stars just isn’t enough!!!! Peter and family were great. Our precious Ruby was treated and loved like part of their family. I could not have asked for anything more.”
“Aysegul is really sweet and caring with my two cats! She always updates about the cats with pictures which I truly appreciate. She also helped me with dropping them off at my apartment. Thank you so much!”
“Another great experience. Jo sends pictures/videos daily, gives great feedback about our furbaby's stay and we would use her again and definitely recommend her to friends/family.”
“Williana was amazing at watching our two dogs over the weekend! She is a very thoughtful pet parent and asked me all the right questions on how to provide the best care for my pups. She was always in touch with updates through out the stay and made it very easy for us to be out of town knowing our dogs are in good hands. Highly recommend her, especially with a large fenced backyard is a dream for any dog! Will book again! Thank you!”
“In the past, I have always hesitated to travel anywhere because I didn't want to put Connor in a kennel while we were gone. I'm so happy I found Rover.com! Connor stayed with Bob and his wife, Kathy. She loved hanging out with them and playing with their cute little dog, Milo. Bob sent me pictures of Connor and her activities while we were gone which was very reassuring. Bob and Kathy are awesome and I see more travel in my future! Thanks for the great care and love you gave Connor.”
“Yenny is a wonderful person and so kind to our dog Toby. This was our first vacation away from Toby and he hasn’t been around other dogs. I was so relieved when she sent the first update. Toby was calm and settling in. I got daily updates and pictures. Toby was very well taken care of. We will be using Yenny again!”
“We had Jessica care for our Murphy during our family vacation. It was the first time we left him with someone other than family. We did a quick meet and greet before booking, we instantly felt comfortable. Jessica sent pictures and updates throughout the week so we knew how he was doing. We will definitely reach out to Jessica again when we need someone to care for Murphy!”

We are so happy with Joseph! He took great care of our Lulu while we were away and kept us updated throughout our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We truly appreciate his patience, kindness, and care. Thank you so much, Joseph! We would definitely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! ❤️🐾
We are so happy to have found Stacey, this is Lili‘s second stay with her. And just like the first time, everything went so well that we were able to really enjoy our trip. Stacey goes above and beyond with communication and photos of our dog, which is comforting, especially when we’re so far away. We have a picky eater and she came home nice and plump! She is also experienced in giving meds, so that was great as well. We will definitely have our dog stay with Stacey again in the future!
Caty and her family were great with our little man Max. Our pup has so much anxiety that stays with anyone is sometime a bit stressful, but he was clearly at home. The updates and pictures, he looked very happy and we are grateful they took such good care of him while we were away. I would recommend Caty, especially if you have a dog who needs some extra love during your absence!
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!

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.

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.
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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
