About: Hi! I’m Sofia, a biology student at the University of Pittsburgh and a nurse aide at Concordia, where being dependable, attentive, and responsible is part of my everyday job. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I regularly help family, friends, and neighbors with walking and pet care, and I’ve helped raise and train my grandma’s 60-pound dog since she was a puppy. I also walk my own energetic 70-pound dog every day, so I’m comfortable with large, active breeds. I love staying active and enjoy running, so if your dog enjoys longer walks or jogging, I’d be happy to keep them exercised. I understand that every dog has different needs and will always follow your care instructions to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Because I work as a nurse aide from 3–11 p.m., I’m available for morning and early afternoon walks and drop-in visits. I pride myself on being punctual, reliable, and treating every pet like my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog! I work at Concordia nursing home as a nurse aide 3-11 almost every day. I am completely free early mornings until before my work. I have a fenced in yard at my home and a one year old puppy. She is good with kids and other dogs and never aggressive.

“Lori is A÷ all the way. She always goes above and beyond. I know my 2 cats love having her spend time with them. If we are going away we always check to make sure Lori is available.”


About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. I have owned and cared for animals for many years and understand that pets are family members who deserve love, attention, and reliable care. My dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make me someone pet owners can trust. As a member of our local Humane Society, I have gained valuable insight into animal behavior, safety, and the importance of compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, feeding, playtime or a drop in visit, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. My goal is to give you a peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving care they deserve! I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I am extremely responsible, dependable and attentive to your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, affection, and attention while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
“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! :)”

“Kennedy was great! She checked in on our kitty while we were away for a weekend, and provided cute photos. Our cat, Leia, seemed to really like her and she doesn’t always warm up to strangers right away. It gave me peace of mine throughout our trip knowing that Leia was being taken care of well. We will definitely be booking Kennedy again.”

“Daniel kicked ass. Super communicative about everything and quick to respond. We got great photos of our three cats while we were away and he even brought packages in and cleaned up a hairball, he really went above and beyond and was super easy to get along with, we would absolutely enlist him in the future!”

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.
About: Born into a family of dog lovers, some of my earliest memories are daily walks with my grandfather’s dog. I grew up with a black lab, a chihuahua, a shi-tzu mix, and a golden retriever, and now own a 12yo cattle dog-mix, socialized with humans and dogs, and extremely well-behaved and taken care of. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t immediately bond with and have watched the pets of family members, neighbors, and co-workers dozens of times over the years. Work full-time but available on the weekends and work from home with flexible hours Tues-Thurs. I live a dog-centric life. My own dog gets 3 walks daily for 2-6 miles (as long as the weather permits) Frequent walks, hikes, trips to the dog park, and plentiful opportunities to go outside. Been through a wide variety of doggy illnesses and injuries and happy to follow any instructions and specialized care your dog might require.

About: As a caregiver of humans, my number one asset for this job is patience. I am not easily startled or upset, and treat any accidents or change in plans as a reason to simply go with the flow. Having worked with medically complex newborns, colic babies, and overnight nanny shifts, I am well equipped to deal with a pet that might be anxious or jumpy because they miss their parent. I currently work as a nanny and doula, so my schedule fluctuates greatly. At times I may have multiple baby/mother clients, and at times I may only have one, and am seeking flexible caregiving work with animals to brighten my slower weeks. From my experience as a nanny and doula, I always prioritize safety, following caregiving instructions and bringing a calm energy to your home to make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I do not care for animals in my own home as my cat is happier being an only child. I offer drop ins and walks for cats and small/medium dogs. I have over five years experience working in other people’s homes with both animals and children, so I am very thorough and detail oriented, always remembering to shut doors behind me and keep things safely out of the reach of babies and animals. As a doula, I often enter people’s homes at a very vulnerable and chaotic time and so I am used to being a responsible source of stability as a caregiver.

About: I don’t have professional experience, but I have had dogs as pets within my circle of friends and family most of my life. I’ve experienced caring for small and big dogs, as well as caring for dogs of all ages. As a passionate animal lover, your pets will be in good hands with me. I currently work part-time as a server. This gives me plenty of time during the day throughout the week to play with and take care of your fur babies! I’m a big animal lover and looking to fill more of my time by doing something I’ll love. I will take care of your pets with TLC in your home environment and during our walks together. Their safety and care is of utmost importance to me. Just let me know any specifics you need from me to help make your pet(s) feel loved and secure.
About: Hi! My name is Casey, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over four years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs and have always been surrounded by animals, which helped develop my love for pet care from a young age. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. In addition to personal experience, I have worked in a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment for every pet in my care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an elementary school during the school year, which gives me a flexible schedule during the summer months. I am available Monday through Thursday throughout the summer and would love to spend that time providing reliable, attentive, and loving care for your pets. I have always had friendly dogs growing up running around our yard and walking in the parks and trails! My cat has also never had a problem becoming friends with any dog who enters the house
About: At this time, I am not house sitting. I like dog walking or drop ins. Thank you! I have always enjoyed dogs; playing and walking them especially in my neighborhood or at the park. When I was nine years old our first dog was Comet, a happy yellow lab and a bit of a barker. Then our family adopted a good little guy named Seamus. He was a mixed black lab puppy and he was very territorial which took some training and love to help him be less aggressive. I am not going to brag, but I know that I was Seamus' favorite because he never growled at me. We loved taking walks and rides. Unfortunatley, Seamus passed away from cancer in 2012. Next my parents found Noah from a beagle rescue. He is 100% beagle and 100% mischievious. He is a great guy, but he steals slippers even at the ripe old age of 10. He likes car rides. My husband and I adopted Mikey, a beagle mix and he is my buddy. He goes everywhere with us. He has been to Ohiopyle, playgrounds, family member's houses, and a Target Drive Up run. He is like my kid. I am definately his favorite! I have time in the evenings and on the weekends. I can be available with advanced notice in the daytime. Let me know how I can help. I give them love like you would, and I pet them. Even a massage can help their joints as older dogs have pain sometimes. I treat dogs like they are my family.
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!
“When I come home, the girls act disappointed as they were expecting Lauren and her family. Lauren does a great job of cheering them up and entertaining them during her visits that they don't get as depressed while I away as usual. She will sing and dance with them, and the girls usually end up learning something new. This trip, Cruise learned to say the Margarita's name, which I haven't succeeded in teaching her in 8+ years! Just shows that they are excited with their visits.”

About: Hi! My name is Haley, and I have over 11 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have worked with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I truly love getting to know each animal and making them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently offer dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting services. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to help! I also have experience staying overnight in clients’ homes for extended periods, including up to two weeks at a time, so I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and making them feel safe and relaxed. I am a teacher, which gives me a reliable and flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and I’ll also have open availability during the summer. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, patient, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will always treat your animals like they are my own. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I am a teacher, so I am available to help outside of school hours, and I am off during the summers as well. I have evening and weekend availabilities too. I can care for your pet in your home in any way that you require. I’m very flexible and can provide your pet with whatever they need.
About: With 8 years of experience in dog sitting, I provide reliable and attentive care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lawrence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lawrence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lawrence with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
