“Lillian was great! The cats warmed up quickly which was so wonderful to see. Everything was just as we left it and we were really happy to know they were in good hands!”
“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter and a giant help for me and mom’s kitty! She was extremely professional in our pre-meet, asking questions I’d not thought of about how to properly care for my mom’s cat and house. I also had changes in plans a few times and asked Sarah to do some other things beyond cat care in the house, and she happily agreed. She even took care of a little “present” that the cat left in the house! I’ll be calling Sarah again for sure, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, responsible and very communicative pet sitter who goes above and beyond to make you and your little ones feel at ease. Thank you Sarah!!”
“Mary did a great job taking care of our 2 cats Melody and Birdie. She communicated with us very well, and followed our instructions. We were very happy with how she handled things. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommended.”
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.
About: Since I was 12 years old I have petsit for a variety of different dogs, cats, and even fish! I am also willing to do different house duties such as the mail or watering plants. I have even had to work with humidifiers and making sure the water is dumped out. I am currently a college student looking for work over the summer! I am pretty available throughout the summer and would love to help people who need a sitter when they go on summer vacation or even a weekend trip! I make sure to be very attentive to the pets. I won’t just make sure they are fed and have water but I will also play with them and give them tons of love when their owners are away!
“Marisa is an angel 😇🌟 She took great care of our baby boy💙 she sent us pictures during play time and walks while we were on vacation. I can't thank her enough for everything she does❤️❤️❤️ Rango was is great hands!!!!”
“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).”
About: I love furry friends of all kinds. While I grew up with cats, I have been around dogs of all sizes my whole life and love pets of all kinds! I work a schedule different than most. Because I work nights and weekends - I have some extra time during the day for your furry friends. So while you are busy at your 9-5 you can trust that your pets are taken care of and ready for you to be home :) I am detail oriented and will worry about your pet as if they are my own. I follow directions to a T and will be sure to take good care of your fur family!
“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!”
“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!”
“Lori always takes excellent care of our babies and makes sure we get regular updates. Seeing pics of the cats while we are away puts our minds at ease. Lori is AWESOME!!!”
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.
Lawrence cat parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Robin is indeed a star sitter! We needed someone to do daily drop-ins for our two cats while we were away on an 8-day cruise. Robin promptly responded to my request and scheduled a meet and greet prior to our trip. She provided consistent updates and plenty of pictures (and kindly cleaned up after our little guy when he ate too fast and threw up). She also graciously agreed to add an extra day to our booking when we had a last-minute schedule conflict. Robin went above and beyond for us and our kitties and I couldn’t recommend her more!
Madison was excellent. She stepped up with very little notice to watch our two kitties while we focused on a family emergency. She went above and beyond what was required to help us out during a difficult time. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.
