About: Hi! I’m Alyssa. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and a kitten of my own, and I’ve previously had a dog as well. I’ve pet sat for family and friends, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and giving your pet some attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated (pictures too!) during visits so you know how your pet is doing. I work full time but can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and other routines your cat and or dog is used to. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for them in their own home while respecting their space, routine, and personality. I’m attentive to details like food and water, litter boxes, medications when needed, and making sure doors and other areas are secure. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was in 6th grade (and have had a dog for most of my life!). Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets for extended periods of time! I’m super comfortable with all kinds of pups, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like they’re my own! I’m currently a college student and free during all my school breaks! I have a super flexible schedule when I'm home, which means I can give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and happy to help whenever needed! I try to stick closely to their usual routine, like feeding times, walks, and any special instructions, so things feel familiar and stress-free for them. I have a spacious backyard for your pets to run and relax in and a pet-friendly space inside! Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they’re safe and getting lots of love and attention!
“Thank you Tom!! Appreciate you taking such great care of our pups! Especially our distinguished elder 15 year old. The feedback gave us great comfort that they were being well cared for while we couldn’t be there. Thank you!!”
About: Hello, my name is Leia and I would love to help you out with your pets! Why should you choice me? Well I’ve grown up with pets all my life, ranging from guniea pigs to chickens to cats to dogs. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for many people over the years. I have grown up fostering both dogs and cats. I even have experience with horses! I also have volunteered at the MSPCA (an animal shelter in Methuen Massachusetts) walking dogs for 2 years. My special skills include that I am very patient, caring, responsible, reliable, flexible, and always put my all into everything I do. I’ve even been told that I have a special bond with animals that not many people have. I would truly be a great choice for any of your pets needs as I understand them and have my whole life’s worth of experience in dealing with many different types of animals. I'm only working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that they need! I am flexible and have very open availability. I have a huge yard with plenty of space for your fur babies to run and play. I also have a reliable source of transportation.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Since joining Rover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for so many wonderful dogs, including several I’ve been lucky enough to care for consistently over the past five years. Building lasting relationships with these pups and their families has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a sitter! My experience ranges from energetic puppies to sweet seniors requiring extra patience and specialized care. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, administering supplements/medications, preparing specialized meals, and accommodating unique dietary needs and routines. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own dog, Murphy, throughout his battle with cancer. His care involved preparing specialized meals, administering daily supplements, and bringing him to regular vet appointments and to his holistic vet for his acupuncture! That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the patience, compassion, and individualized attention our furry family members deserve. I truly believe dogs are family, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether we’re enjoying walks, spending time outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, Rover has allowed me to continue doing something I absolutely love. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced, and dependable hands! ❤️🐾 I currently work from home so I can be extremely flexible with my schedule! I'm also available on weekends, overnights, and longer overnight stays if needed! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I create a warm, welcoming environment and follow each pet’s routine closely to minimize any stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, and giving them lots of love and attention! I make sure their space is clean and cozy, and I keep their toys and bedding fresh. For walks or playtime, I ensure they’re getting the right amount of activity based on their needs, whether that’s a long hike, a fun fetch session, or some relaxing cuddle time. I also monitor their health, providing any special care like administering medications, supplements, or preparing special meals if needed. It’s all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved!
“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

I have been trained in animal behaviors, animal restraint, CPR, and obedience training skills. At my home, I own a Czech working line German Shepherd named Buddy and a domestic short hair cat named Loaf. Monday-Friday open availability.

“Xinlin did a wonderful job with my cat (and my aquarium). Her demeanor was friendly, her timing was prompt (even though I'm lenient with timing windows), and she exudes her affection for felines. She followed my instructions, got some playtime in, and messaged me about any questions she had rather than act on assumptions like I've had other sitters do. Surprisingly, she took some wonderful photos of my cat in action, something that is hard for even ME to do. I'll definitely using her services again. Thanks Xinlin!”

About: I have been dog sitting and fostering dogs for the past 15 years. I absolutely love being able to interact with and care for dogs of all ages and with varying needs. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, from social and stable dogs to dogs that are reactive and need extra support in situations that they are unsure of. I also have knowledge in basic training, as I have trained my own dogs and have worked with the foster dogs to get them ready for adoption. I enjoy making sure the dogs I care for are fulfilled physically and mentally (play dates with other social dogs that have a compatible play style, pack walks, trick training, jogs, fetch, etc.). I look forward to having to opportunity to become a part of your dog's life. I have references and am more than willing to answer any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a social worker at a therapeutic elementary school. I ensure that the dogs I care for are taken on walks and have an opportunity to play in the fenced in the yard in the morning so that they are tired and naturally want to sleep while I am at work. When I get home from work, I enjoy going on more walks, playing in the yard, bringing them on car rides to various places, scheduling play dates, trick training, etc. before we eat dinner and relax afterwards. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure place for your dog to romp around. The fence is chain link, 6 feet tall, and reinforced on the bottom. My house is dog proof as well.

I love to play, walk and run with furry friends and make music with them (This is quite an entertaining activity for both of us, and a great way to keep them busy).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Carina was so great! From booking to sitting, the experience with Carina was so smooth. She started off the booking by setting up I meet and greet with us so she got to know our pup prior to watching him. I loved that! She was so sweet and clicked with him immediately. For the sitting, she was thoughtful, on time, and provided the most thorough notes and pics that we really appreciated! In the rare moment she was late, she made sure to reach out ahead of time to let us know. She’s the best! Thank you Carina!
Ann Marie had been so reliable and flexible with watching our dog! She is always on time for check-ins and was able to help with an urgent request when we were really in a bind. She is so caring and patient with our dog and we can’t wait to book our next appointment with Ann Marie! She is the best!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lawrence is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 9,398 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lawrence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
