“Honor is great. She plays with our dog while I am away and my wife is at work, walks him all over town and is very communicative every single day. I would highly recommend her.”
“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”
“Alex was Wonderful with my pup. she was available and flexible on the short notice I had to give for jury duty. I have confidence in leaving my girl with Alex and I look forward to using Alex again in the future.”
About: Growing up with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of canine care. From nursing high-anxiety companions like my late buddy Leo through loud storms to managing the endless energy of young pups like Ruby, I know that every dog needs a tailored approach to feel safe, happy, and understood. I’ve been dog sitting and handling dogs since my sophomore year of high school, caring for animals across every stage of life—ranging from a 3-month-old puppy up to a 15-year-old senior. Because I maintain an active lifestyle that includes regular hiking and long daily walks, I am more than equipped to handle high-energy breeds that need serious exercise, mental engagement, and plenty of outdoor time. Whether your dog needs a gentle, patient companion for senior strolls or an athletic running and hiking partner, I provide reliable, attentive, and experienced care tailored directly to your pet's needs. Im available through out the day for check ins and walks given that I'm taking online courses. I able to stop in when ever I'm needed to check on pup or pups. Im perfectly fine spending the night at clients home but I prefer to meet before hand to work out what kind of care is needed for every individual animal.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for almost two years now I’m very careful and safe when haloing out animals I ensure their lives are okay and safe before mine is Very open availability I can do overnights ,pop bye visits and walking whenever throughout the day currently workrong but not for much longer so timing will change We have a fenced in backyard for our dog we have gates inside the house to block off hazardous areas to our dog Gracie girl
“Rebecca is super easy to work with--so fast to reply to messages, communicative about any changes, and flexible about changes on my end. She made our first dog-walking experience totally seamless and stress-free!”
About: I am an animal lover and have had pets my whole life that I have taken care of. I currently have a dog and cat of my own and I have owned freshwater tanks, horses, a leopard gecko, and have provided care for numerous animals in their homes as well for others. My animals take oral medications so I am familiar with specialty care and am comfortable providing the same to your furry (or otherwise!) family members. I have also worked in a holistic pet store with a focus on healthy nutrition for cats and dogs. I ride horses and have since I was 7 years old competing in ApHC national and world shows. I have provided medical needs to horses as well! I am currently working part-time, so I am available for drop in visits and walks each day of the week including weekends. I can do early mornings in very unique circumstances. I am unable to care for additional pets in my own home however, I am available to do visits to your home multiple times a day with updates to you so you feel comfortable leaving your pet for an extended period of time.
About: I started raising cats when I was very young, sometimes I even feel like a cat, I have the same habit as them, independent and gentle, coquettish and proud. Now I have a cat in my house, and I brought him to the United States from China. Even in the most difficult time of the new crown epidemic, I never thought of giving up on him. I believe that the decisive factor in measuring whether a person treats pets well or not It's how much this person loves pets. If this condition is true, I am the person who truly loves pets, and I am willing to accompany them all my life, whether it is my own pet or the one you want me to take care of. I have plenty of time and energy to take care of them, trust me, I can take care of them! I am a full-time housewife, but my child is 16 years old. She is studying out of state and rarely comes home. My husband and I live at home, and we have a lot of free and free time to take care of our pets. Just make an appointment with me in advance and I will arrange a time. Because I have pets myself, I believe that I have a scent that pets like, and they usually judge people by the smell if they are friendly to them, and I am sure they will like me too. I am a fitness fan myself, and I also like to design games and play with cats. It depends on your pet's personality. I will spend time with them according to their preferences and take good care of them.I can help cats trim their nails, give medicine and clean their ears, all of which I have learned myself, in fact, my cat is taking care of myself and he is very healthy.
“Connie takes great care of my pup on her walk visits. She sent updates and pictures which gave me peace to know she is in good hands. Connie did everything the way we discussed and I came home to a content, happy dog!”
“Joshua is excellent. He surpassed all our expectations. He was wonderful with the girls and with their parents. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Denise”

About: Throughout my life I’ve lived with and cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fishes, and French Hens. Show me what your pet needs and I’ll be sure to keep them clean, happy and well-fed :))) I work part time, so I have open availability on a timely notice. With active and clear communication, I can assure a smooth process and time commitment. My apartment has a balcony and stair/room barricades, so such restraints would be easy to manage. However, if your dog needs walking, I would prefer to be provided a leash and collar for your furry friend :)
“Rita is always great! She always makes a last minute request or a special request work. Even when our puppy doesn't feel like walking much she adapts on the fly to make sure she still gets enough attention & care. Always generous with the communication and amount of photos taken while taking care of our puppy. Rita is great!”

Michael was great! He showed up right on time, was friendly, and clearly comfortable with Blue. He took him out for a full hour walk and sent updates and photos along the way, which I really appreciated. Blue came back happy and ready to rest. I’ll definitely book Michael again!
We have had Ashely as our walker for almost a year! She has been wonderful to work with. Our dogs love their afternoon walk with her. She communicates well and is always so flexible with our changing schedule sometimes! Highly recommend and will always contact her first when needing a walker.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lawrence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lawrence after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
