About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly something I love. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience through privately dog sitting for friends, family, and repeat clients. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities and needs. More recently, I’ve started working at a kennel, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments every day. This has given me even more experience with feeding routines, exercise, administering basic care, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or a calm and caring sitter, I’m here to help and make sure they’re happy and well taken care of! I currently maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. This flexibility also enables me to accommodate a variety of routines and provide dependable, consistent care based on your dog’s specific needs. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home environment, where they feel most comfortable. I can come to you and maintain your dog’s normal routine, helping reduce stress and keep them happy.
“Abby is wonderful! She knows how to take good care of dogs and guinea pigs. Our pitbull mix Hazel got along with her really well. The guinea pigs were kept clean and healthy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people. When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.
“Robin was excellent with my cat! She was very responsive and provided good updates while away. I would gladly use Robin again and recommend her if you need someone to watch your pet(s).”
“Marisa was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I’m so grateful she was able to fit in a last-minute meet and greet that made me feel confident in booking her. My shy Covid rescue, who doesn’t usually warm up to strangers, was surprisingly comfortable with her right away. She was patient and attentive with both Teddy and Forrest, and it was clear they liked her from the start. I booked her for 30-minute visits, and she always stayed the full time, sending me 10–15 photos each visit so I could see how happy and comfortable my dogs were. Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I will definitely be booking her again and, with a trip coming up later this month, I already plan on having her dog sit for us. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa was great! I highly recommend! She was right on time and gave my dogs plenty of time outside and gave them treats too. They were happy and well cared for when I got home. Thanks Marissa!”
About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. I have owned and cared for animals for many years and understand that pets are family members who deserve love, attention, and reliable care. My dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make me someone pet owners can trust. As a member of our local Humane Society, I have gained valuable insight into animal behavior, safety, and the importance of compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, feeding, playtime or a drop in visit, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. My goal is to give you a peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving care they deserve! I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I am extremely responsible, dependable and attentive to your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, affection, and attention while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
“Karsyn made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs for the weekend. Between all the check in’s and the photos, we knew our boys were in great hands! :) She is the absolute sweetest! We will definitely be using Karsyn for any future needs! :)”
“Sunny waits for Mia every morning and is her new favorite person!! She is sweet and kind to him, can handle his exuberance and she's really flexible and communicate thoroughly letting me know she's on her way. I couldn't be happier with Mia and an so grateful I found her!”
“Lori is wonderful! We booked her the second time to take care of our cats. Lori sent us lots of pictures and videos and we could see how happy and relaxed our boys were. She did a great job and took care that our cat got his medication twice a day. We will book her again on our next vacation. And Lori: Thank you for the funny comments on the photos, we laughed a lot!🤣”
“Ava has been a huge help with coming by in the middle of the day to let out and play with our 3 month old Aussie. We were nervous about leaving her when I went back to work, but Delta adjusted very well and gets so excited when Ava comes by. Ava spends the perfect amount of time with her, making sure she gets plenty of opportunities to relive herself, play and get water. She even keeps any eye out for any concerns. We really appreciate her timeliness everyday and flexibility whenever we require a last minute adjustment in the time that she stops by. We will continue to rebook her for drop-ins and hopefully for additional services in the future:)”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.

Abbigail did an awesome job taking care of my cat Toby! She was responsible and reliable and our cat warmed up to her quickly. My cat also requires injected medication 2x/day and abbi was gentle with him and was able to get his medication in. I will definitely be using her again!
Marisa was a great cat sitter for our cat. She was very responsive, took the time to meet with us beforehand to go over details and logistics, and already knew how to use our Whisker Litter-Robot, which made us feel very comfortable. Our cat seemed happy and well cared for when we got home, and we’d definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 36 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lawrence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
