“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“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!”
“Daisy stayed with Kelsey and family for 12 days. She bonded with their dogs and cats and Kelsey shared several photos of them together. Daisy is 13 and has arthritis and anxiety and takes several medications. She requires extra attention and the family went above expectations to care for her needs. I hope she can stay with them again.”
“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!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
“Cal and their dog Rory were great with my dog Carlos. I got daily updates while I was gone and he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I will be sure to use them again.”
“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!!”
“Nadia was amazing! Our pet had the best time at her place and she was super accommodating to us. Not only that, but she also made sure to constantly update us on everything that happened and how she was doing throughout the whole stay!”
“Truly an awesome experience! I can’t thank Megan and super sweet family enough for welcoming my high anxiety girl into their home and loving on her as if she was their own. I could tell by the updates and pictures that Megan sent daily that Rosie was happy and enjoying her stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to throughly enjoy my vacation. I have no doubt Rosie will miss playing with the kiddos and family pets, but not for long since we’re already planning another stay in just a few weeks!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know while I was out of town, but Paige completely put my mind at ease! She was amazing! She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which made being away so much easier, and I could tell my pup was having the best time. She was also incredibly flexible with my last minute booking, and I truly appreciated that. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Paige again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“My dog loves staying at Nicole’s. We have used her numerous times and she always sends pictures, videos and updates. My dog turned six while staying with her and she made a special treat and her family sang HBD to her and she sent me a video. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend her. ❤️”
“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.”
“Daniel was so kind, attentive, and our dog was clearly well cared for. He was flexible when my drop off and pick up times were shifting. I would definitely use him again to watch my baby if we’re in Lawrence again. Thank you Daniel!!!!”

“This is my third time booking with Valentine! She does a great job ensuring the comfortability of my cat! My cat is usually shy but is always quick to warm up to Valentine. Valentine does also does a great job communicating and keeping you updated!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Amazing experience, will definitely use again! Quick response when booking and able to arrange same day visit. Very flexible and feels comfortable giving pet medication which is quite helpful.”
“Justine did a great job with my kitties. Even my shy one warmed up to her after a day or so. The pictures she sent were great and my kitties look so happy in them. She was also kind enough to bring my mail in and pre-wash the kitty plates.She even took the litter genie bag out to the trash can when it was full. She was wonderful and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“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!!”
About: I have been caring for a variety of animals for as long as I can remember, from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes. My family neighbors and friends have trusted me with their pets and homes for a very long time.

I will play with your pets and can take them for walks and potty breaks. I will also stay with them overnight if need be.
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.

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.
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”
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.
“Steve is so very sweet. Juniper is a big puppy with lots of energy and emotions. Tbh, an exhausting toddler. He has so much love to give he just explodes. Until he collapses into sweet dreaming mode😂 Steve has been so patient and understanding of family circumstances and has been so supportive. Even reinforcing training and exposure on the daily to keep Junie the bestest boy ever. I’m grateful for Steve.”
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 golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. 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: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I supervise playgroups, feed dogs, give medications when needed, and make sure they’re safe and having a good time. Working there has given me experience with all kinds of dogs and taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m also experienced with cats and am happy to care for both friendly, outgoing cats and the more shy, independent ones. I recently graduated from high school and will be starting my pre-veterinary studies at JCCC this fall. My dream is to become a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals just as much as I do and has plenty of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from puppyhood and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable caring for both dogs and cats.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets!

About: 🐾 About Me: Hi there! I’m passionate about pets and have been taking care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with various breeds, including Cairn Terriers, Beagles, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, and a Pit Bull. Each dog has taught me something unique, and I cherish the bond we have/created. ❤️ Fostering Experience: I’ve also had the rewarding experience of being a foster mom for a dog rescue. Caring for these wonderful animals has been immensely fulfilling, and I loved being able to help them transition to their forever homes. My heart is always open to providing a safe and loving environment. 🐶 What I Offer: Playtime & Exercise:** I believe every dog deserves to have fun!

Additionally, I’m free on weekends, making it easy to provide care for your furry friend when you need it most. •Secure Space: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous materials (like cleaning supplies and small objects) stored out of reach.

About: I have been working for a dog boarding and daycare facility for about a year and a half now! I have learned lots about dog behavior and how to interact with lots of different personalities- and I am still learning every day! I have experience in administering medications and would love to meet your pup! I currently work full-time caring for pets at a daycare facility, typically working either 6-1 or 1-7 Tuesday through Saturday. Fully available on Sunday and Monday! I have my own pup who is fixed and very friendly! I can bring him along if you want your dog to have any socialization or burn extra energy, but I am also more than happy to focus on your pet!
About: As a school teacher off for the summer, I would love to help other pet parents have a wonderful, worry-free summer experience knowing their family members are in great hands! I’ve been a passionate pet owner my entire life and currently have two sweet little Chihuahuas of my own, so I know exactly how much love, patience, and attention our 4-legged companions need. I truly love all animals, treat every guest pup like a member of my own family, and can't wait to meet my new summer fur babies! As a school teacher, I am completely off for the summer and have an open, flexible schedule! This means I am available to provide your pup with companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a dedicated walking routine or daytime attention, my schedule revolves entirely around making sure they have a fun, safe, and active summer vacation of their own. When caring for your fur baby in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. As a dependable lifelong pet owner and school teacher, you can trust that I will strictly follow your established routines, keep a close eye on your dog, and ensure all doors and gates are fully secure during my visits. I provide reliable, loving care—from structured feeding and fresh water setups to safe, supervised playtime—giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like a member of my own family.

About: I have been around dogs for my entire life and am familiar with both the ups and downs of pet care. My family and I have fostered dogs frequently so I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I love being around dogs, playing with them, and making sure that they are well-loved. I am currently a student at the University 5 days a week but I enjoy caring for animals in between classes and love to spend time with them as I do homework and assignments. I am able to stay overnight if needed. I am familiar with using crates as well as shock collars to correct behavior. I am also familiar with harnesses and safely walking them on the leash.
About: I have always been known to my parents friends and neighbors and the person to call if you need help watching your animal. I’ve been pet sitting dogs specifically for just over 4 years but before that I watched everything from cats, to fish, and hamsters. I’ve dealt with numerous dogs suffering from seizures along with many recovering from surgery’s so I know how to handle almost everything. I’m currently a college student. I have some Morning commitments however I can be home with your pet for most of the day, or stop by at any point during the day to walk or let them out. I have an english golden retriever myself so there is another dog within my house, however he’s very friendly with other dogs. We don’t use a crate in our house and the dogs are allowed on the furniture but I’m happy to follow whatever you prefer for your own animal.
About: I have had dogs since I was born, from chihuahuas to labradors. Over the years I have taken care of friends and family's various animals, pet sitting, dog walking, and even helping groom them. I love all animals and believe all animals should be loved! I especially love taking care of senior animals, and make sure to care for them at their level. Im very good with time management and routines, making sure your animals are always cared for on time and in their routine. I also love taking care of puppies. I love playtime, walks, and ensuring your puppies don't tear down the house! All pets should be healthy, happy, and active. I will ensure your fur baby gets the best care while thriving in a safe, loving environment. Im currently in collage starting my Junior Year, when Im not in classes I am available, both morning and night, and usually free on the weekends. I am very adaptable to schedules and would love to make both our schedules work! I offer pet walking, and pet sitting, and daily check ins.

“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.”
“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!”
“This is our second boarding with Lauren for our German Shepherd puppy and this day was wonderful for our dog and us. Lauren is great with communication and updates and our puppy loves spending time with her and her dogs. Highly recommend Lauren! She’s made being a new pet owner so much easier knowing we can entrust our puppy to someone loves him like her own!”
“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!”
“Daisy stayed with Kelsey and family for 12 days. She bonded with their dogs and cats and Kelsey shared several photos of them together. Daisy is 13 and has arthritis and anxiety and takes several medications. She requires extra attention and the family went above expectations to care for her needs. I hope she can stay with them again.”
“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!”
“Outstanding! From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Cheryl is a dog person's dog person. My beast boldly explored her home to her laughter and then he settled in to hold her hand on the couch. Cheryl's provision of photos while I was away proved a great comfort to me and her conveyance of concern for my animal's paws in the icy snow demonstrated the level of care she affords her charges. I highly recommend Cheryl and will happily book her again in the future. Cheryl is accommodating and caring to the highest degree. My big yellow beast wants me to say hello for him.”
“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!!”
“Nadia was amazing! Our pet had the best time at her place and she was super accommodating to us. Not only that, but she also made sure to constantly update us on everything that happened and how she was doing throughout the whole stay!”
“Truly an awesome experience! I can’t thank Megan and super sweet family enough for welcoming my high anxiety girl into their home and loving on her as if she was their own. I could tell by the updates and pictures that Megan sent daily that Rosie was happy and enjoying her stay, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to throughly enjoy my vacation. I have no doubt Rosie will miss playing with the kiddos and family pets, but not for long since we’re already planning another stay in just a few weeks!”
“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!”
“My dog loves staying at Nicole’s. We have used her numerous times and she always sends pictures, videos and updates. My dog turned six while staying with her and she made a special treat and her family sang HBD to her and she sent me a video. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend her. ❤️”
“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.”
“Daniel was so kind, attentive, and our dog was clearly well cared for. He was flexible when my drop off and pick up times were shifting. I would definitely use him again to watch my baby if we’re in Lawrence again. Thank you Daniel!!!!”
“Regan was awesome! She worked around the holiday schedule and got our pup in for our trip. Very professional and gave us updates daily! Will be using her in the future as my go-to gal in the area:)”
“Tamber is amazing. I have left my dog with her twice now and she is not only super responsive, but was flexible with me when my travel plans changed. Never once had to worry about my dogs care plans with Tamber. HIGHLY recommend for your fur babies.”
“This is my third time booking with Valentine! She does a great job ensuring the comfortability of my cat! My cat is usually shy but is always quick to warm up to Valentine. Valentine does also does a great job communicating and keeping you updated!”
