About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m calm, patient, and always pay attention to what the dog needs, whether that’s play, rest, or just quiet company. I also keep owners updated so they feel connected and worry-free. This isn’t just a gig for me, I actually care about the pets I watch Currently I have no job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will make sure your pet has an amazing time I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I keep their feeding, walks, and playtime consistent, and I give them lots of attention so they don’t feel alone. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I stay in touch with regular updates and photos.
“Manasi did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She was very friendly, she had great communication the whole time I was away, and went above and beyond. Will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend.”
“Meena has been an absolute god-send to me & more importantly our dog Jackson. Meena truly cares and her approach is professional & loving. Her communication is timely and I really appreciate that our dog, who is visually impaired and a diabetic. is so well cared for when being watched by Meena. I highly recommend her!”
“Ruth was great with our cat Lola! She sent pics on every visit and she was very attentive to all of Lola’s needs, from feeding to play and snuggling time :) We were very grateful to have Ruth as our Catsitter, and we felt in good hands every time she sent us the pictures of a happy Lola. When we came back, Lola was relaxed and friendly as usual, and we could see she ate well. We are definitely coming back to Ruth again next time we need someone to look after Lola while we are away!”
About: I have had a dog in my home since I was born. I was tasked with walking, feeding, and playing with the family dogs as a kid and I always enjoyed seeing their tails wag with joy. I have loved and cared for many dogs some big, some small, some calm and some energetic. I currently live with my 5 year old Sheepadoodle named Nash who is big enough to pay bills and takes up my entire king sized bed. I have had him since he was just a few weeks old and I understand the importance of proper care and attention. I am a shift worker who works longer hours in condensed days. This schedule allows me to have many days off both during the week and weekend to provide your pet with the care he/she deserves. My beautiful girlfriend is also a dog lover who can assist whenever needed. Pets are part of the family. They will have access to a fully fenced in yard, a swim in the pool (if allowed), lots of potty breaks and plenty of fresh food and water. They will have many friends to play with, both human and canine.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed which makes me extremely flexible! I am looking to find full time work but the summer is a hard time to do so. I am also looking to become more active and what better way than with dogs! I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.
“Nina was great with our cat. She is 100% reliable, always showing up on schedule and staying for the full duration of her appointment. She engaged well with our shy cat, and he warmed up to her and began building more trust in her - flopping onto his side, eating when she was here, looking like he was ready to play. We will definitely use her again!”
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
“Such a nice saver and excellent pet sitter. Ryan went over and behind the call of duty to ensure my trip was stress free and the 3 dogs and cat were well taken care off much love”
“Andrea is prompt and is great with our dog. In addition, she took her time at our initial meeting to get to know Copper and asked a variety of questions to garner as much knowledge as she could about him. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a love for animals and taking care of them. I have always have pets growing up and i dog sit for my friends and family every chance I get. Animals bring me joy and I love the energy and love they openly give back. I will love your pets by playing with them, walking them and do what it takes for them to not miss you too much while their mom and dads are away. My favorite thing to do is give tummy rubs. I also will come and meet your fur baby in advance so both you and them feel save and comfortable. I will also send pictures and selfies that way you know your fur baby is happy and doing well. I am currently working a part time job which gives me a flexible schedule to hang out with new animal friends and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard/play area at home. I also know where to find really cool animal parks where I can take fur friends to enjoy a nice day out.
“Amira did a great job dropping in on my cat. She is very conscientious and willing to go above and beyond. She follows instructions accurately and only has to be instructed once on how to do things. There was a six month span between the first and second times she took care of my cat and it was not necessary to repeat the instructions. It’s obvious that she really enjoys animals. Highly recommend Amira.”
About: I am a young man who has had animals all my life, both dogs and cats, and I had the opportunity to live in New York and work in a pet store called Pupculture, in this store game experience in areas such as: daycare, boarding and dog walker, a job that I hope to continue doing wherever I go Although I am a young man who studies, trains and works, there is always room for time with pets. The most important thing is to clarify the availability and trust between the two, so that we can see each other again How I've had pets before what it's like to treat them at home, I know they like to play and a lot of attention, talk to them, play to them, feed them and they will be grateful, I know how to walk with them outside, I know how to take a big dog a small one, if it's very cold if it rains or it's hot, always treat your pets how you would like them to treat yours
“Sabrina is very gentle and loving with Susu, I've never seen my cat warm up so fast to a stranger. Sabrina also does an amazing job at effortlessly giving him his required medication, offering him treat rewards, and keeping him happy by giving him enough attention through pets and play time. She's great at making Susu feel less lonely and comfortable, with the way Susu loves sitting on her lap. Will definitely contact her again for future visits!”
“Ailiya was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. She was communicative, fast at responding, caring, and gave great attention to detail. I found her to be very trustworthy and my two cats were happy and well cared for in my absence. They probably want her back for all the love and extra treats they got!”

It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Lawrence with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
