“We left our cat in Robin’s care for a 2.5 week vacation. She had never been left that long. Robin did an amazing job keeping Journey company and making her feel loved. Couldn’t have asked for more pictures or updates. Robin was awesome!”
“Sarah took amazing care of my cat Khaleesi while I was away! I got lots of adorable pictures every visit with updates on how Khaleesi was eating and how her medication administration went. I’ve already booked her again for my next trip!”
“Abby is above and beyond as usual. She took great care of our dog and four guinea pigs. Two of our pigs needed extra medical attention (oral medicine + eye ointment), and she handled it really well. She also took adorable pictures of our pets to let me know they are healthy and happy. I highly recommend her!”
“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! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors cats and dogs for about 10 years now. I also have dogs and cats of my own and have been a pet owner of dogs and cats since 2006. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule. I can schedule drop in visits or walks throughout the day multiple times per week. I am flexible and can work with your schedule. I prefer to communicate or have a list provided by the pet owner to ensure I am not disrupting the cat or dogs schedule. The more I know about the pet, the better to ease the stress of the pet and the owner.
“Daniel took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for a week. We really appreciated the great communication and detailed daily updates and photos. The cats seemed really well taken care of, their feeding areas were super clean, and it was clear that he took time to play with them and try to gain our shy one's trust. We felt really comfortable with Daniel and would definitely book him again. Thank you again!! 😺”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have about 13 years of experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I genuinely love animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me! As a rescue dog owner myself, I’m also comfortable caring for dogs who may be anxious, shy, or need a little extra patience while adjusting to new people and environments. I’m currently studying full-time for my CPA exams, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care during the day, as well as evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with someone caring for your pet. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other needs. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.
“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”
“I asked for a visit as I went out of town and needed someone for the last day as I had no idea what time I was coming home. I gave instructions and told him that he can leave after doing what was asked since I knew my cat was going to come out. I appreciate the stop by and making sure my cat had food as I was super worried that she was going to go hungry. Thank you for visiting and taking my request last minute.”
“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: 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.
“Sandee was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time we had her cat sit and one of our cats and some unexpected medical needs arise and she was wonderful about keeping an eye out and keeping us apprised on how he was doing. She is super personable and did a great job!! Highly recommend!!”
“I am so glad we booked with Mary to watch our two cats for the week. Mary was fantastic and reliable. She spent time with our cats and made sure they had everything they needed. I really appreciated that she sent us feedback and photos after every visit. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: My love and passion for animals of all shapes and size has been visible from a young age. I will be attending Vet Tech Institute this summer, so I promise that your fur-baby will be my #1 priority! I will treat not only you, but your furry friend with the upmost compassion and respect! I promise not to disappoint! 🐾 Even in attendance at Vet Tech Institute, I will never have enough animal time! This will allow me to focus on my school work, but also give some love to your pets! My fur-babies are what you call... SPOILED! They will be given the absolute best treatment followed by plenty of love and treats! I respect the boundaries of any client, whether it be your pet's or your own! I promise to do my best to make you feel worry free while your furry friend is in my care! I am currently in between jobs, so I have all of the time in the world to love and care for your pups! I accept same day appointments! 🐾 Unfortunately, I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets. When I am in your home, I will treat your property, but most importantly, your dog with the absolute most respect. I will tend and cater to your pup's needs as directed and needed. I will treat your furry-friend as if they were my own and continuously spoil them during our time together!
“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!”
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.

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 August 2026, there are 1,257 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 with handling special pet needs in Lawrence. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
