“Steve is great. Really good guy who obviously cares about his and other people’s pets. He’s very accommodating and flexible. My dogs enjoy being there. Steve has become my go-to pet sitter in Lawrence.”
“Kathi was a pro at dealing with our little Charlie. I could tell that he bonded with her based on his body language. Thank you Kathi, for taking the worry out of this doggie mama.”
“Petra was a phenomenal sitter for our dogs. She was very communicative and friendly when setting up boarding. She sent photos each day and her property was great for two herding dogs to run around off leash. Perhaps most importantly, our dogs took to her right away since she treated them like her own. Petra is a warm and caring person and I give her my highest recommendation!”
“Brandin and Diana were really easy to work with and flexible when our schedule changed a bit. Our pup, Phoebe, seemed happy when we picked her up and you could tell she even bonded with their daughter! We’ll be using them again for boarding!”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care that gives owners complete peace of mind. I work part time and I am free after 12 am to give your pet all the attention that they deserve to make them feel right at home! Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, my goal is the same: keep their routine as close to normal as possible. For boarding, your dog becomes part of my household — same feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits, with free run of a secure, fenced yard and constant supervision. For house sitting, I stay overnight at your place, keeping their routine steady while also looking after your home (mail, lights, the usual). For drop-in visits and walks, every stop includes fresh food and water, a walk or potty break matched to their energy level, and playtime or cuddles. And for day care, I offer supervised one-on-one attention rather than a crowded group setting, balancing active play with rest. Across every service, you’ll get photo and video updates so you always know how your pet’s doing.
“Cheryl did a wonderful job with Lady. She kept us informed with daily pictures and comments. A plus rating. We will definitely use her as our primary dog sitter and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”
“We just got back from our trip and our little babies were so happy. Daniel and Carolyn are amazing. They provided constant updates and took amazing care of our fur babies. I will be coming back to them and I highly recommend them. They are quite simply the BEST.”
“Amelia and Matthew were a pleasure to entrust with Daisy. The meet and greet was very pleasant, and they asked great questions about how to take care of Daisy. I loved receiving the updates and pictures, and they were always very responsive if I had any further questions. I think Daisy will look forward to seeing them again, would recommend and have already booked a return :)”
“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”
“Once again, Regan was fantastic! I was gone over 15 days and I knew Daisy would be well taken care of. Regan kept me updated daily on how Daisy was doing and sent me plenty of photos to see she was doing great! I will always try to use Regan when I leave town.”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“Kelsey, thank you for keeping Alta for a couple of days. I appreciate your pictures and communication as we were gone for the weekend. I think Alta enjoyed being around your other dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to you again!”
“Our pup, Ruby, really enjoyed Xue and her family. Xue sent us updates and lots of photos everyday. Such a sweet family, it makes us happy to know Ruby gets to hang out with a family, in a home while we are away.”
“Valentine was great with my cat and very flexible with booking last minute. My cat is usually very shy but she warmed up to Valentine quickly! Valentine is also great with keeping you updated with pictures. I will be booking again!!”

About: Ive owned cats and dogs my whole life! I’ve cat and dog sat many times for neighbors and family and have been reliable and love it every time. I’m currently working part-time while also being a full-time college student. My schedule shouldn’t vary too much in weekdays until I get my schedule for my other job. I’m available after 2pm on M,W,F and from 12:30-2pm, and then again from 6-9pm on T,TH! My dog back home is a big hassle to walk, so I’ve dealt with walking calm and crazy dogs before! I’m not currently offering boarding/at my own home services, but i’m experienced in taking care of different pets in lots of people’s homes!
About: Taken care of family dogs since 2010, ranging from small to large breeds. Experience in caring for more than one dog at a time. Comfortable walking small to large dogs. I have my own dog, she is a 2 year old dachshund-poodle mix who loves to play with dogs. I trained her since she was a puppy and is fully vaccinated and house-trained. Will provide loving care for your pets as I would my own. Veteran and Full-Time student at KU. Mornings and evenings are mostly free, just in class in the late morning and early afternoon. Free availability on weekends and holidays. In class from M-F, 9am-2pm. I have one small (20lbs) female dog who is spayed, fully vaccinated, and trained. My dog loves other dogs and is used to living with small to large dogs. I monitor pets closely during visits to make sure they are safe.
About: Hi! I go by Ronan and am currently a student at KU (Rock Chalk!) studying elementary special education. I have always had a deep love of animals! My family has had at least 3 dogs my whole life, on top of a cat and three rabbits, all of which I have had a hand in taking care of as soon as I was old enough for chores, and eventually majority of the responsibility in feeding, walking, and playing with them, in addition to the general upkeep that comes along with pets. I also have many years of experience looking after other family's pets, with the largest family consisting of 6 dogs, 2 cats, and a whole reptile room! I have been a part of 4-H and competed in multiple FFA competitions for plants, animals, and veterinary science for most of my life. I still want to keep working with animals, even though I have my own sweet fur baby cat which is why I decided to work for Rover. I am extremely active and love playing with animals until they're worn out (if thats what they want) or just giving them tlc, I just go with the flow of what the pet(s) are in the mood for! As a student at KU, I leave for class around 7:30 every weekday morning and return around 4 PM, except on Wednesdays and Fridays, when I return around 6-6:30 PM. On weekends, I have flexible availability! When I am at a client's home I of course will only go into areas I am told I am allowed im, and will make sure your space is as nice as you left it :) I will also make sure to be careful with doors if needed if there is a chronic escape artist. If I have a question about anything, I immedietly reach out. I also love to take a million photos for clients.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my difficult cats. I have one shy cat and one territorial cat and they did not phase her at all! I really appreciated knowing they had someone experienced looking out for them while I was out of town.”
“Terra was amazing! We found her on Rover somewhat last minute after some issues with our other sitter, and I am so glad we did! Terra was so flexible when we had to make some last minute changes to her care schedule due to our kitty, Nickel, coming down with a UTI the morning we were leaving for vacation. Terra proceeded to take such great care of Nickel. She kept us regularly updated about how Nickel was doing, and sent pictures, which were so comforting to see. Nickel was not so sure about taking his meds from a new person, but Terra did a great job working with him and trying different strategies to help him. All-in-all, Terra went above and beyond in so many ways, and we feel so fortunate that our little guy was in her care. We definitely highly recommend, Terra!”
“Absolutely 100% recommend Lakyn & Alex! It's difficult to leave your pet behind, but with these two you will have nothing to worry about. I could tell my cat was much more relaxed than usual and even opened up to them (which is rare). I feel very lucky to have had them taken care of Syl, and I know she feels the same way. Thank you so much, Lakyn and Alex!!”
“Elyea is a great kitty sitter, she has watched my (3) kitties for the second time now and I’ll definitely continue to have her watch over them when I am not able! She tends to all their unique needs and puts them in their catio safely when it’s nice outside or in the garage when the kitties decide being indoors isn’t for them. She does a great job making sure their food, water, litter is all handled and up to standard! Also, any package that may have come while I was away she’s sure to grab it for me and bring it in. So nice to have someone for not only me but for my sweet cats!”
“Valentine was terrific! My younger cat, Lula, who takes a while to warm up to most people was on her lap from day 1 and Leo was all in for belly rubs from day 1. Communication was great also and I would hire her again to watch my kitties any time. Thanks!”
About: I have had cats my whole life, and I love being around their clever and fun energy. I have been a pet sitter for several different cats, and my responsibilities included playing with the cats, preparing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and occasionally administering medication.
“Claire did an outstanding job and I highly recommend. She house sat for me and did a really great job watching my cat and doing numerous other things while I was away. She watered all the plants in my small garden, got my mail and provided me with consistent updates and cat pictures. Everything was perfect in the house when I got back home and my cat was healthy and happy! 10/10”
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds young and old. I was a volunteer at an animal shelter and humane society where I fostered bunnies and I was a camp counselor showing kids how to properly interact with animals (including reptiles). I have experience in pet sitting for 6 years for friends and family. I also worked on a dairy farm for 3 years where I would care for cows and all the other barnyard animals that guests would come to visit. I have had dogs, cats, critters, reptiles and farm animals throughout my life. Currently I have 2 Maine Coons, Simba and Kiara and I have a bearded dragon, Tad Cooper. My main concern is your animals health and happiness as well as communication with you. I have recently moved here with my husband and don’t have a current job so I am available most requested dates and time to fit into your schedule. My priority is making sure you and your pets feel safe and comfortable. I strive to make a connection with each animal to provide care. I will also take care of the simple tasks if requested such as receiving mail, taking out the trash and vacuuming to keep your house a clean environment for you and you pets.
“Ava was very responsive, nice, and did an excellent job communicating any changes. The kitties seemed to love her and I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies. :) She was also kind enough to bring in the mail for us on our extended trip.”
“I'm so glad I had Ashley look after my cat Charlie while I was away! She's very responsive and her check-ins gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her or book her again.”

“We had never had a puppy sitter before, and Daniel was the best first experience we could have hoped for! We needed a last minute sitter for the super bowl, and Daniel was incredibly helpful. His home was clean, he has a number of dog-friendly toys for your pup to play with, and he sent the CUTEST photos of the puppy while we were out and about. He has a wealth of knowledge about dogs, and our puppy was comfortable immediately in his space. We'll definitely be reaching out to Daniel for any of our puppy daycare needs :)”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, took care of them and have a great passion for animals. I’ve had my own pets since 2007 (2 cats and a dog). Since 2020 I have fostered animals for a local shelter including dogs, puppies as young as 6 months, and kittens as young as 5 weeks. I have basic experience in dog training. I’m currently working on a part-time contract basis so my schedule is very flexible and I would love to help you care for your pet(s). I am available daily with a set schedule to accommodate your needs. I am an experienced foster of dogs and kittens. I have a dedicated space (spare bedroom) to keep any animals separate from mine, but if they are dog and cat friendly they could be free roaming in the house when I am home. I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.
“Madison did so well with our energetic 6 month old GSD mix! He can be energetic and she went above and beyond to get him the playtime and exercise he needed. This included walks and playing fetch outside, among other things. He came home a very happy pup!”
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”
About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like a family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is a dog paradise where they can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday every week. Weekdays are 4-11 and weekends are 8-5. If your pet isn’t able to stay home alone for that amount of time, then this might not be the best fit! I also have class Monday-Friday where I am out no longer than 3 hours each day. I am dedicated to catering to your pets needs and want to work around the schedule that is best for them! I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: Taking care of your pets is my top priority and making sure you get back to a happy dog. I’ve dog sat and cat sat for neighbors, family friends and friends of my own. I always have a lot of energy and I enjoy being around dogs and playing with them and walking them. I’m always making sure I’m on top of things to make sure everything that needs to be done is done and all the requirements are fulfilled. Pets always do a good job at comforting and making us happy, so I want to make sure I do the same and give back to them. I’ll treat your furry friends as they were my own with love and care and a lot of playtime. I also do house keeping and anything else you need help with around the house or errands.
About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.
“So far, our baby girl has been having a great experience with Brandin. He updates us on her pee and poo breaks, as well as feeding. He sends pictures of her, including if I ask. I respect his structure and knowledge in dog behavior, resulting in us learning a few new things we didn't know previously. Overall, I highly recommend Brandin! We're returning twice weekly. Book with him!”
About: Hello!! My name is Maisy. I have worked in various different animal related jobs for the last 5 years, I worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility and I currently am a dog trainer. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dog as well as cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I also am open to limited contact boarding for people reacting dogs and can do crate rotation for dog reactive dogs away from mine. I work in the evenings 4 days a week so I spend the mornings/afternoons out playing with the pups then they take naps in kennels while I’m at work and we play some more when I get home. I also can move my dogs kennels out of the “dog room” and your dog can just stay in there instead of a kennel if they are more comfortable that way. I have 5 dogs that are very active and friendly. I have a fenced in yard the dogs love to run around in and inside we have lots of toys and comfy places to take naps (which will be put up if there are problems). If I’m not at home or at night all dogs will be kenneled for safety.
About: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. We have a big yard so there’s plenty of room to run.! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
“This is the 2nd year I've had my dog cared for by Kelsey & family during an extended visit to Topeka. I couldn't be happier, knowing that she's in such good & loving hands and making new friends when she's there. I'm so grateful and we look forward to continued bookings whenever we're in the area!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years. Experienced with puppies, seniors, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing safe, reliable, loving care for all pets. As a college student-athlete , I have a flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing consistent care, walks, feeding, and quality attention. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, secure doors and leashes, maintain clean spaces, and provide updates so owners feel confident and trusted.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our first time using their service, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We reached out at the last minute while moving into our new place, and they were kind enough to make themselves available when we really needed the help. She, her husband, and their daughter were all extremely kind and welcoming. They took wonderful care of our dog and sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really gave us peace of mind during a very busy moving day. You could tell from the updates and photos that they genuinely cared about our dog and treated him like part of their family. We are extremely thankful for how accommodating and caring they were, especially on such short notice. We will definitely be using them again in the future! I would highly recommend their services to anyone in the Topeka, Kansas area looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to take care of their dog. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Located just 10 minutes west of the Legends of Kansas City, your fur-baby will get the TLC that you’d provide in your own home. Plenty of attention and room to run! I currently work some evenings and weekends in order to homeschool during the day so we are home often. I will be clear about availability during bookings. My family is fur-baby friendly with 4 goats, a flock of chickens, two sweet puppies, and a cat currently. During bookings my two dogs (one is an outdoor farm dog) and cat will be kept separate to ensure the safety and comfort of all. Any medical, training, attention, and care needs will be accommodated as requested by the owner.

About: I’m originally from Florida, where there certainly is a wide range of dogs to experience! I’ve always been around dogs, the one in the family and friend circle people call to drop their pets off with for any vacation, or trip they may need. I’ve done tons of volunteering but I’ve always wanted animals to essentially take up my whole life so to speak! When I moved here to Lawrence and saw how many more opportunities there was for this kind of thing I was ecstatic. I’m currently working at a daycare and boarding center where I get to spend my time taking care of animals, managing playgroups, and meeting so many sweet different pups! I would love to just keep expanding and opening up possibilities for myself to take care of and provide top level care for people’s pets! With my current job shifts are usually no more than 5-6 hours and I work in the morning a lot (getting off at about 1) so I usually have a lot of time left in the day! Sunday is my only day that I’m pretty much unavailable altogether! Other than that depending on the time frame you’re looking for a walk/check in I am more than able to work around! I have two large dogs myself so needing a large dog, a puller, or reactive pup walked is no problem for me! I love spending time with animals in any way, shape or form. So it won’t bug me if you prefer your pup walked to a specific spot every day, or if you need them checked in purely to be given a kiss and a treat at a certain time in the day! If there’s anything you’re curious of please don’t hesitate to ask! I’ve administered medicine, handled more than one dog at a time, done specialized food/care for pups, and helped out/sat in on training sessions!

I’m not currently offering boarding/at my own home services, but i’m experienced in taking care of different pets in lots of people’s homes!
About: I've taken care of animals both big and small, in single pet households and multi-pet homes. I like to spend time getting to know each animal under my care so any walks/visits/ stays can be as fun and relaxing for the animal as possible. A majority of my pet care has been at home stays for dogs with anxiety or just need a little extra attention. I've also cared for reptiles, birds, and small mammals in addition to dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time online which allows for pet care to be a focus in my life. Depending on the pet and client, I can visit as often as needed to make sure that your pet is having the best outcome of my services. A majority of the animals I take care of stay at their own homes, so I make sure to visit often and for as long as needed for the animal to get as much enrichment out of my visit before they calm down and are ready for me to leave. This includes mealtimes, making sure their water/area is clean, playing with toys and/or enrichment activities, and cleanup before heading out. If staying in a clients home, I follow the routine of that pet as set by the owner to give as much minimal disruption as possible.
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was 14 just through word of mouth. I am excited to meet more sweet dogs through this!! I work mornings and can walk dogs in the evenings during the week and afternoons/ evenings on Sundays! My schedule may change soon so that I can be available some mornings. I am attentive on my walks, I like to take in the beauty around me and share that with the dogs I walk. I will ensure your dog is well taken care of on our walks!

“I was a brand new customer for Rover, not knowing exactly what I was doing, and Petra responded before I booked and answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable for having someone I’ve never met. Take care of these dogs twice a day. I met her the evening before and then she consistently showed up on time modified her schedule as needed, and the dogs were well taken care of and loved going on the walks. If you’re new to river, Petra is an excellent choice !!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (I’m 60) except for the last 7 years. I love loving on sweet animals. I’ve had dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, big dogs and little dogs. Love them all! I work full time but can work remotely, if necessary. Otherwise, I’m home most of the time. I have a fenced backyard that is small. My home is a single story. I could also pet sit in the pets own home so they are familiar with their surroundings. My yard is fenced and I don’t currently have any pets living in the home. Your pet would get all of my attention. I’m easy going and patient and adaptable to your pet’s needs.
About: I've had a dog since I was 10 years old and caring for him has been a big part of my life. I started dog sitting last summer and quickly realized how much I loved it! I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're going on walks, playing, or just relaxing. I treat every dog like my own and I make it a priority of mine to do my best to keep them in their same routine so they can be as comfortable as possible while you're away. I'll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and love! I'll also be sure to send plenty of photo and message updates so you know your pups are in good hands! I'm going to be attending University of Kansas this fall and my schedule is very flexible. I will only have one class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday which gives plenty of time to provide attentive care throughout the day. My weekends will also be open, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings. I will care for your pets in their home by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I'll stick to your instructions about feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, or any other special care they may need. I want your pups to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I will send regular photos and updates so you can be at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since middle school, so 8 years now! I live in Oklahoma and go to school in Kansas and do Rover in both for half the year. I have a bigger dog and smaller cat of my own at home, but not in Kansas. I volunteer at the Lawrence Humane Society and love all types of animals! I’m currently in school but am available most hours of everyday. I don’t have many other obligations during the weekdays so I am very flexible with timing! I am willing to work with whatever the owner would like. I am definitely willing to spend the night if necessary and can let out however often you would like.
About: I currently live and work remotely in Lawrence, Kansas, near Clinton Lake, which allows me to provide attentive and dependable care throughout the day. I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m committed to treating every animal as if it were my own. While attending the University of Kansas, I volunteered for nearly two years at my local Humane Society, gaining valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs. Since I work from home I'll have plenty of time to be attentive towards your pet(s). With flexible hours and being an active person, I will make sure your dog(s) have a safe & happy stay. If you have an active dog(s) to stay with me here in Lawrence, we can do activities at the dog park (on-site) or even places like Clinton Lake and Mutt Run which is nearby too.
About: I've been talking care of dogs my whole life. During my life time I've studied dog training and have developed a passion to provide dogs and thier owners the best life ever. I am retired and started my dog training business several months ago. Now I have lots of time to spend with animals. I provide a unique experience for the animals I interact with. Mixture of love, joy and energy. My pets have a freedom around me. I feed them, play with them and we love the dog park. I enjoy getting on the ground and playing with them
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old and started caring for them at a young age. Now I even have my own dog who isn’t always super calm so I understand how to help anxious pups as well as how to give them their medications! I’ve also been pet sitting for quite some time whenever a coworker or friend needs someone for the weekend! I just work part time so I’m really flexible and available to spend time with your pups! I just ask that expectations are made clear for time at the beginning! I am used to having a fenced in area but I’m also more than happy to walk your dog on a leash if that’s what they need for exercise!

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of neighborhood pets, during neighbors vacations, etc. I enjoyed it! I've taken care of dogs, cats, a bearded dragon, and rabbits. I'm currently avalable any day of the week, day or evening. (except Sunday morning). Currently looking for full time employment and will verify when i'm avalible. I calmly approach them and give them some affection (giving them belly rubs, petting them, etc) . I am always careful about their safety, by using a leash, or making sure their inside enviroment is secured. I will feed and water pets according to client instructions. I enjoy spending quality time with the pets I care for, by sitting with them, playing ball or throwing a toy for fetch.

“Steve is great. Really good guy who obviously cares about his and other people’s pets. He’s very accommodating and flexible. My dogs enjoy being there. Steve has become my go-to pet sitter in Lawrence.”
“Petra was a phenomenal sitter for our dogs. She was very communicative and friendly when setting up boarding. She sent photos each day and her property was great for two herding dogs to run around off leash. Perhaps most importantly, our dogs took to her right away since she treated them like her own. Petra is a warm and caring person and I give her my highest recommendation!”
“Brandin and Diana were really easy to work with and flexible when our schedule changed a bit. Our pup, Phoebe, seemed happy when we picked her up and you could tell she even bonded with their daughter! We’ll be using them again for boarding!”
About: For over 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care that gives owners complete peace of mind. I work part time and I am free after 12 am to give your pet all the attention that they deserve to make them feel right at home! Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, my goal is the same: keep their routine as close to normal as possible. For boarding, your dog becomes part of my household — same feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits, with free run of a secure, fenced yard and constant supervision. For house sitting, I stay overnight at your place, keeping their routine steady while also looking after your home (mail, lights, the usual). For drop-in visits and walks, every stop includes fresh food and water, a walk or potty break matched to their energy level, and playtime or cuddles. And for day care, I offer supervised one-on-one attention rather than a crowded group setting, balancing active play with rest. Across every service, you’ll get photo and video updates so you always know how your pet’s doing.
“Cheryl did a wonderful job with Lady. She kept us informed with daily pictures and comments. A plus rating. We will definitely use her as our primary dog sitter and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”
“We just got back from our trip and our little babies were so happy. Daniel and Carolyn are amazing. They provided constant updates and took amazing care of our fur babies. I will be coming back to them and I highly recommend them. They are quite simply the BEST.”
“Amelia and Matthew were a pleasure to entrust with Daisy. The meet and greet was very pleasant, and they asked great questions about how to take care of Daisy. I loved receiving the updates and pictures, and they were always very responsive if I had any further questions. I think Daisy will look forward to seeing them again, would recommend and have already booked a return :)”
“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”
“Once again, Regan was fantastic! I was gone over 15 days and I knew Daisy would be well taken care of. Regan kept me updated daily on how Daisy was doing and sent me plenty of photos to see she was doing great! I will always try to use Regan when I leave town.”
“Thanks Melanie for accomodating my fairly last-minute boarding need! Abby and I both felt immediately comfortable with her, her partner, and their home. Communication was prompt and thorough, and I loved all the pictures! I'd def recommend Melanie and rebook!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“Kelsey, thank you for keeping Alta for a couple of days. I appreciate your pictures and communication as we were gone for the weekend. I think Alta enjoyed being around your other dogs. We will definitely be reaching out to you again!”
“Valentine was great with my cat and very flexible with booking last minute. My cat is usually very shy but she warmed up to Valentine quickly! Valentine is also great with keeping you updated with pictures. I will be booking again!!”
“This was my 2nd time using the rover service and 2nd time leaving my fur baby with Magen. It was no surprise that she was amazing! My pup barely even noticed me and was walking towards the door to go inside without me even getting to say goodbye first, lol. She sent me updates & photos throughout the visit and it was only for one night this time. Communication has always been good and drop off/pick up both were good! She sent Ruben home with some little treats and he was a happy boy! I will leave my pup with her and her family any time I need! Thank you for taking such good care of my little dude! :)”
“Marilyn is exceptional! She took care of my dog with more love than I could have imagined. All of her needs were met and then some! I loved all of the updates she sent me and how she kept me involved with my dogs day to day activities. It’s usually hard for me to trust others with my dog but with Marylin I have the most peace of mind! We will be back soon!”
