Top rated Lawrence doggy day care sitters
“Ric is fantastic! He takes such good care of Wendel and I have peace of mind each week when I know he is over Ric's house with his playful and sweet pups!”
“Alexis was very responsive during our "interview" stage and very pleasant upon arrival. Although prince was anxious to leave he seemed to be comfortable and safe and that's all that mattered. Thank you for being available.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Maria! She was as calm and reassuring with us as she was with Beau. We received photos through the day, and a special package of treats was tucked into his bag when we unpacked at home. So happy to know we have a safe and serene place for Beau when we need to travel.”
“Elaine and her daughter are the best! We always have total peace of mind leaving our anxious girl with them. They’re great with dogs and really know what they’re doing.”
“Sara is a great sitter. My dog was excited to see her and had a great day playing at her house. Her backyard is fenced in which gave me a sense of security leaving my baby. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: Hello there dog lovers, my name is Sarah, and I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I take small dogs (45 lbs and under) to board overnight in my big old 1928 Pittsburgh 3 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard. I have the sweetest English bulldog Hulk and we live with my best friend and housemates 2 small dogs, Rocky the 14 year old rat terrier and Princess Buttercup, a 1.5 yr toy poodle, too. They are adorable and well behaved and very used to visitors. Everybody eats in separate rooms & sleeps in the bed together, if they want! No crates or cages here, and I’m home all day working. I’ll also groom your pup if you’d like to add that on! I did grooming for years. We can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Please reach out with any questions. At my home, your pets will feel like part of the family. I have a huge, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can roam freely in and out all day long. Whether they enjoy lounging on the furniture or snuggling in bed, they’re welcome here! I provide plenty of toys, treats, and all the doggy essentials to keep them entertained and comfortable. I work from home, so your pet will have constant supervision and company all day. I live with three friendly dogs who are social and welcoming to new furry friends. They’re all well-behaved and love making new pals. I follow all feeding instructions and will stick to any guidelines you provide for your pet’s care. No crates unless specifically requested—your pet will have free roam to enjoy the space like they would at home. I’m dedicated to giving your pet a safe, fun, and loving environment during their stay! My house is very dog friendly and an open space for dogs to hang out. Toys everywhere and open space to hang out on furniture or in bed to snuggle. Very cool and comfy with a ton of toys to play with. I have hardwood floors and washable rugs and clean them often.
“Excellent with my dog! Great communication, very accommodating. Will have my pup there again!”
“I can’t even explain what a relief it is to have found Valerie! After our previous Rover sitter moved away, I had major reservations about finding someone else to trust with Teddy. All of my concerns vanished with Valerie. She is warm, kind, and truly cares about the pets left in her care. I was spoiled with photos and video updates all day. It is such a relief to know that Teddy has a happy safe place I can rely on. I picked him up and he was happy and obviously doted on all day. THANK YOU so much! We can’t wait to see you again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals my entire life. I have been a pet sitter for many friends and neighbors over the years and had my own canine companion for 10 years. She passed away in November of 2023. Animals deserve to be loved and treated like family. I promise that your dogs will be treated very well and that they will truly enjoy their “vacation” at my home. It’s difficult to leave your “loved ones” in the care of others and I know that feeling. Rest assured that they will be cared for and spoiled to the best of my ability! I am a behavioral therapist who works with children and families. I have a hybrid job which means that I work from home doing Telehealth services and I also see clients in person at times. I am home for most of the day and this worked perfectly when I cared for my late dog, Arwen. I do not have any pets currently. I have an elevated deck that is only accessible from the house. It is surrounded and my dog loved to spend time out there basking in the sun. I have a yard but it is not fenced in. My neighborhood is quiet and very dog friendly.
“Super friendly and accommodating!”
“We needed an afternoon of drop in care while doing a college tour. Bengu took my fur babies in on short notice. She sent lots of pics. And the dogs really enjoyed getting into the yard after being cooped up in our air bnb. I will definitely use her service again when visiting the kids at college.”

“Frances is a life saver! She is very patient with my older dog who has some anxiety and my rambunctious younger dog! She is a natural with animals and made me feel comfortable immediately! I feel really safe knowing my dogs are in good hands. I’m so happy to have found her. I trust her and her expertise and would highly recommend to anyone in the area. This is my first time using rover and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks Frances!”

“Deacon and Greta had a great first day with Angela! She sent us pictures of then and when I picked them up, they didn't want to leave! What peace of mind we have leaving our dogs with them, one of which is special needs, knowing they were getting so much love! We can't wait for their next stay!”
“Priyanka was amazing! Seven loved her dog, Sky, and Priyanka sent me beautiful pictures as well as videos of their day together. She was very understanding of my somewhat long day work day, and I knew Seven was safe and taken care of with her. I will definitely look for Priyanka again in the future if I need a sitter!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 sibling Shelties who are 4 years old, they are very friendly and love to play. I work from home so I am flexible with my availability. I can take dogs out frequently for fresh air and to get exercise and attention. There are common areas/open fields in my neighborhood where my dogs love to run and play. I have lots of space in my home including a finished basement with crates for dogs who like to have some quiet time.

She currently owns two very sweet Shetland sheep dogs she trained and cares for. They are playful and respectful of each other and other dogs and humans.
