“Lisa made our mini dachshund feel right at home for his first time away from our family! He loved playing with Lisa's dog and felt comfortable enough with Lisa to snuggle with her at night. Highly recommend!”
“Maria is amazing! She was responsive, flexible, and kind. She took great care of me senior dog and I will definitely use her again. She even sent him home with treats. Highly recommend!”
“Nelia and Brett took great care of my dog Abbey Raye while I was out of town. They provided me with daily pictures and she looked so happy! This is my second time leaving her with them and I highly recommend!”
“Amanda and Jack were absolutely amazing! My girl, Onyx, had an issue with her elbow, and they handled the situation with incredible care, compassion, and professionalism. They kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind, and they even took her on a nature hike so she could enjoy some time outdoors. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. I highly recommend Amanda's services and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with Onyx again!”
“We are repeat customers and couldn’t be happier with the care our dog receives. It’s clear how much love and attention they give, which gives us so much peace of mind. We especially appreciate the regular pictures, videos, and updates—they really help us feel connected while we’re away. Knowing our dog is not just being looked after, but truly loved and cared for, means everything to us. Highly recommend!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets and animals with unique care needs. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, basic grooming, and reinforcing training routines. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort and happiness while providing photo messages, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind. Every pet receives personalized care based on their personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime and plenty of companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meditations (if needed) and any special requests.
“Maggie had a delightful time with Emily and Chase! They treated her like one of the family! She loved the shaded fenced-in yard and having two new dog friends to play with! Maggie received her medication that was needed while she was there, and Emily/Chase made sure that she got her calming chews when there were thunderstorms. We will definitely book with them again!”
“I would definitely recommend Tia! Our dog Gizmo had a great time and was well cared for. Tia sent lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely use her again!”
“Bryanna and her family took excellent care of our fur baby while we were away. She communicated and sent photo updates frequently, and most importantly, she treated our Ricky as if he was her own. She will be my go to from now own if we have any sitting needs.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! If I could give her a higher rating, I would. Her and her family treated my dog as if he was their own. She has a beautiful, fenced in back yard that allowed my dog to be outdoors without any worries! I know she was very attentive to him at all times, kept us updated everyday and sent several pictures which made my kids very happy! My pup does not like kennels and this was an alternative and it turned out to be the greatest experience for my dog and our family! Would definitely love for her to care for my dog anytime!! Thank you Elizabeth and your family!!”
“I really Thank you for taking care of Romeo. For his size, he can be handful. He can get anxious, but seemed at ease at your place. You can count on me recommending your services. Thank you again.”
“Elaine did a wonderful job watching Max. She made sure he was exercised and played with him and he interacted with her dogs. I would highly recommend Elaine and her services. She also sent me photos and a video that I really appreciated. She asked if Max had any special needs and made sure he was happy.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful!!! I left my dog for the first time ever and she made it so easy for me! Excellent communication and excellent care! My fur baby will definitely be back there!”
“Jack loved his visit! They were so good with him and provided updates and photos throughout the day. Their dogs Chowder and Regina are awesome, and my dog enjoyed spending time with them. Will definitely be using them for my next upcoming trips! 10/10”
“Michael was very accommodating and easy to work with, and he clearly understands dogs' temperaments and needs. His kind and gentle, yet firm, manner was very reassuring for my seven year-old rescue dog, Jack, who still struggles with meeting men. Jack was immediately at ease with Michael at our initial visit, and was excited to visit again. He came home happy, healthy, and relaxed after his 5-day stay in Michael's home, and we'll be sure to ask about staying with him again if we have to travel without our dog. Thank you, Michael.”
“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
“Lindsey and her family took excellent care of our dog, Willow for a 1 week stay. We received daily photos and comments of how her trip was going, which made us feel in the loop while we missed our girl. Would recommend to others who need a safe, loving home for their dog.”
About: I am an animal lover and I have always had pets. The past few years I have been saving lives and fostering with One By One Reacue! I am currently on a foster break since I have 4 dogs of my own but help run the rescue in other ways. I am lucky enough to work from home and be with my pets all day. They stay in the general area I am when I work. Since I have 4 dogs of my own, I would like to provide boarding at my house. I am in a town house and I have movable metal fencing for my dogs. I never leave them outside alone. When I do have to run to the store or have plans for the day (usually no more than 8 hours) I have a furbo that I check in on them throughout the day. I also gate off my stairs so no one can use them (or fall down, I had a blind dog and watch one) when I am not there.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lawrence is $48

Janet was wonderful with Luna! She was caring, attentive, and made sure Luna felt comfortable and loved. The pictures she updated me with says it all. Luna looks completely at home and so happy! 🐺❤️ I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend Janet!
There really are not words to describe how well Song took care of our dog. She was very responsive, kept us up to date and the major thing was that she gave our dog love just as she would her own. Every picture and video we received showed that our Suggie was very happy. She was taken on walks, to the park and played with often. We would recommend Song to anyone. She was awesome!
This was our first time using Rover and Kyle was amazing. Having had our rescue dog for just 3 months, I wasn’t sure how the overnight boarding would go. He gave our Bugsy all the attention he needed to feel secure. He even sent pictures capturing Bugsy’s sleepover fun! I would definitely recommend him.
Kirsten and Daniel are fantastic!!! Traveling can be stressful especially when we have to leave our pups behind. Kirsten and Daniel always send pictures through out the day; Podrick is clearly having a blast with them and it always puts my mind at ease knowing our baby is in responsible hands. Thank you both again for taking such good care of Podrick❤️❤️

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lawrence home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lawrence.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
