“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!”

“Marisa is outstanding and I am so happy I found her to look after my cats when I have to go out of town! She really came through for me when my plans suddenly involved me going out of town on Christmas!”

About: Hello all my name is Danielle and I am here to give love to your fur babies. My husband and I are the loving owners of a 5 year St Bernard, 5 year old Anatolian shepherd, beautiful bird that is a green cheek conure. I have always loved animals and grew up next to a farm so I always was the kid trying to bring every stray kitten into the house. I grew up with many pets. 2 smaller mix breed dogs and 1 huge German shepherd I love them all!. I am available for walks drop in visits and overnights in my home only. I will be more than happy to care for your baby just as those on Rover whom have cared for mine. Send me a message to book! I am available evenings and weekends. I do have a full time job and do this in my free time. With my family support I can help others. My home is spacious and my dogs are very social with other dogs. I have a large back yard that is fully fenced in for more time to play outside. I am able to handle large dogs or any breeds. Happy to walk or sit with them in your home if needed. Ready to give lots of love.
“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! ☺️”

“Sydnie was amazing! I had a lot to hand off to her in terms of care and meds for my cats and while my cats had their own ideas. she did so amazing and with so much grace. On time, communicative and just lovely to work with. Would definitely recommend and book again with her.”

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!

“Rachel was so great with Cinnamon! She did 4 drop-in visits on the hottest day of the year and made sure to refill her water and food bowls. She sent pictures and short videos during each drop-in showing her and Cinnamon playing and getting cooled off with the hose, which Cinnamon loves! Will definitely be using her in the future!!”

“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”


“Kathryn was great with our cats (who warmed up to her faster than their usual), communicated super well, and was fastidious about care and cleaning. Would love to work with her again!”

“Jessica was great with our Hazel! Hazel gets a bit nervous around new people, but Jessica took the time to make her as comfortable as possible. Thanks to Jessica we were able to enjoy a weekend away worry free!”


About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: To put it simply, caring for animals is my life's passion; I would love to take care of your pet like they're my own. I am a highly experienced career pet care professional, currently working at Kitty Co Cat Rescue, with prior experience working at Fido and Friends. I provide the highest level of compassionate care, with a deep understanding of animal behavior and the importance of providing patience and love while caring for animals. I have hands-on experience supporting daily pet care, kennel sanitation, and medication routines. I am trained in administering oral medications, transdermal medications (for cats only), fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet care. I am available for overnight pet sitting primarily on weekends. I am highly responsible and detail-oriented when it comes to pet and home care. My professional training in veterinary support allows me to provide the highest level of safety for your animal

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Between over 20 years of pet ownership experience and having worked as a veterinary technician for 9 years, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care when their owners are away. My family consists of a menagerie of animals, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of species and their unique care needs. Our family currently includes an older dog with medication requirements, two ferrets, several bearded dragons, and a crested gecko. Whether your pet needs medication administration, enrichment, feeding, or simply lots of love and attention, I understand the importance of following routines and providing dependable care. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am studying for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care routines and visit times. In my own home, I care for and feed our pets daily, typically in the morning or afternoon, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent schedules and following specific care instructions. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, medication administration, or a customized routine, I am happy to work with you to meet your pet's individual needs and your preferred schedule. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your pet's daily routine. I cannot bring furry animals to our home as I have an older, reactive dog. If you give me instructions, I will make sure I meet their needs because every pet is different.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

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 November 2026, there are 425 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.

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.
