“Sarah is very nice and responsible. She was on time every visit and took good care of our 2 cats by sending photos, updates, and playing with them. Knowing she was caring for our kitties made being away easier.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. I grew up with my Golden Retriever, Harley, and later my German Shepherd, Lambeau, who was part of my family for 10 years. I also regularly care for my sister’s Labradoodle, Teddy, and love spending time walking, playing, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. You can expect dependable communication, plenty of photos and updates, and a safe, fun environment while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most bookings with at least 3 days’ notice. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We really appreciated Jill’s thoughtful and kind attention to our senior pets during our recent trip. Barney and Trudy loved her and we will definitely use her again when we travel.”
“Lori is wonderful! We booked her the second time to take care of our cats. Lori sent us lots of pictures and videos and we could see how happy and relaxed our boys were. She did a great job and took care that our cat got his medication twice a day. We will book her again on our next vacation. And Lori: Thank you for the funny comments on the photos, we laughed a lot!🤣”
“Daniel took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for a week. We really appreciated the great communication and detailed daily updates and photos. The cats seemed really well taken care of, their feeding areas were super clean, and it was clear that he took time to play with them and try to gain our shy one's trust. We felt really comfortable with Daniel and would definitely book him again. Thank you again!! 😺”
“Abby is above and beyond as usual. She took great care of our dog and four guinea pigs. Two of our pigs needed extra medical attention (oral medicine + eye ointment), and she handled it really well. She also took adorable pictures of our pets to let me know they are healthy and happy. I highly recommend her!”
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”
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.
“Karsyn was amazing! Even tho we booked her last minute during a holiday weekend, she was super nice, punctual, flexible, and helpful! The animals absolutely loved her, which I could tell through the great pictures she took of them during the visits! She had excellent communication and was overall above and beyond expectations! We will be using her again :)”
“Excellent drop in visits with Dan and Stephanie who were great with my two dogs!! Very prompt with communication and reliable. Would definitely recommend Dan and Stephanie and will book with them again in the future.”
“Elizabeth has been helping me out with my dog a few times now and is always so wonderful! She is so helpful and kind with my dog and is always quick to respond. Definitely recommend her! ☺️”
“Wendi is a delight and my critters LOVE her! She was able to accommodate my travel schedule which was dictated by iffy February weather. I felt very comfortable with her care while I was away. Thank you, Wendi!!”
“I have had such a great experience with Hannah taking care of my dog! Being a new dog owner, Hannah has eased my mind when I was away by keeping my dog happy, comfortable, playing with him, and giving him all the cuddles! She is very easy to communicate and schedule with and always keeps me updated about her visits with my pup. I’m glad that when I can’t be with my dog, Hannah is there to keep him company!”
“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.”
“Kristie was awesome! She was very responsive, loving with our dog, and responsible. She gave frequent updates and made me feel comfortable with our dog in her care!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lawrence
Friendly and responsive. We have 2 german shepherds and others refused to even meet them--because of their breed, not because.of their behavior. Megan had zero hesitation and we had no doubt that she would take care of our dogs without an issue. I will absolutely use her again.
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
