“Mary did an excellent job caring for my cats Pumpkin and Ginger. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets and I will certainly have her back to card for my babies. Awesome job!”
“Sarah was great! She responded immediately to a last-minute request when unexpected travel obligations arose for us. Our shy kitty warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of him. Sarah was very communicative and sent lots of pics.”
About: I went to a vet tech program in high school which made me familiar with disabilities and health issues in pets. I have trained both my medium/large dogs and even one of my cats. I am comfortable with animals of any size or shape. I have also raised three happy independent kittens from when they were only just about a month old. I am currently working on getting a job as an EMT and applying to colleges, Currently I am available weekdays after 3 pm and weekends after 12:00 pm(this is flexible and I would be willing to stretch earlier in the day if needed but it is a general guideline). My availability once I get a job at an ambulance company may change but it should not be anything too significant. I can come over for up to a few hours a day to spend time with/ feed any animals in the household, I unfortunately can not stay overnight due to my own cat at home but would be willing to come over earlier in the morning and stay all day if necessary. If walking a dog we will discuss and plan a route, or discuss how long the walks should be for me to walk beforehand.
“I can see that Megan is clearly a dog person! My pups got so much attention from her on her visits while we were out of town for the weekend. Between treats, belly rubs, and snuggles (loved the pictures!) my dogs got royal treatment. And the attention to detail (did they thoroughly do their business before she left, etc) was unmatched. Thank you! I highly recommend Megan to anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“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!”
“Lori always does such a wonderful job taking care of our cats, Jackson and Abby. She’s very conscientious, patient and thoughtful. We can tell our kitties feel very comfortable with Lori!”
About: I've taken care of friends and families animals for years. I also have pets of my own. I foster puppies with a local rescue, so it's safe to say I'm an animal lover. I'd love to take care of your favorite family members. My schedule is flexible and I often start work late morning and have breaks throughout my day. It's easy for me to pop in and out to provide pet care-play dates-potty breaks. I can easily spend time with your pet for a playdate- provide potty breaks and lock up when finished. Just provide any instructions around treats, feeding or crating.
“Joanna did an amazing job taking care of Mogley and giving him his medicine! She took great pictures of Mogley during her visits and sent me regular updates about how he was doing. I am booking Joanna again for my next trip out of town!!”
“Dan and Stephanie took excellent care of my three kitties! They sent detailed photos and videos that made me feel so at ease about being away! My house is spotless and my cats are happy and well! I highly recommend Dan and Stephanie!”
About: Hi! I am Katelyn- a wife, a mom of four kids, and a life long animal lover. I truly believe pets are part of the family. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and over the years I’ve fostered countless animals and spent time working in animal rescue. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like I would my own. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to shy or nervous pets, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐾❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom and have open availability when my husband is not at work. He is currently working from home due to the corona virus! This can change in the future, but currently I am available and happy to help! I am not able to do home services at my home at this time due to our Denver boy not getting along well with others!
About: I helped my mom raise and train two Norwegian Elkhound puppies who are four years old now. They are my world and I visit them as much as I can. I work 3-4 days a week, I'm off Tuesday's, Wednesdays and every other weekend. I am new to this so shoot me a message if you want to set up an appointment. I am experienced with dogs who eat anything they can, so I would make sure your animals don't get into anything they aren't supposed to eat.
“Jenna took great care of my cat! She was punctual, communicative, responsible, and I felt safe leaving my cat in her care. I came back home to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Jenna! ☺️”
“I had Marisa back to check in on my 2 kitties again and I am so glad I found her! It gives me such a peace of mind to know Marisa is checking in on them, feeding them, cleaning out the litter boxes and spending time with them! Marisa is wonderful with the kitties! When I get back home from my trip my kitties are both happy, not upset or mad at me for leaving and well adjusted! Definitely highly recommend Marisa!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Abbigail took care of my 17 year-old cat while I was on vacation. I was worried about how he would be while I was gone. She did an excellent job. Followed my instructions I left for her. She sent me pictures daily. She is always prompt to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend her.
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 October 2026, there are 1,278 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 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
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.
