“New to Rover, Steve was at the top of the search list and surely Tako and I experienced why. He was great, he has a way with dogs and absolutely loves them! Very chill, laid back, and accommodated very well to my requests or changes. He is very responsive, updates on how Tako is doing, and detailed Tako’s visit at the end. The added bonus is that all I had to provide for Tako for his stay was a bowl and food, Steve took care of the rest! Tako was in very good hands, allowing me to enjoy my trip with no worries about my furry son. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will be asking Steve to dogsit Tako in the future!”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“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.”
“Natalia and her husband are awesome! I always know my dogs are in good hands and they treat them like their own! She also sends pictures!! I highly recommend Natalia!!”
“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!!”
“Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Petra did an amazing job watching my two boys and it made our trip better knowing they were in good hands. Seeing the daily photos from the walks and cuddles made us very happy. The boys were both super happy at pickup and I could tell they both had a lot of fun. We will definitely be returning for future trips.”
“Amelia and Matthew took amazing care of my fur baby Klaus! They did a meet and great prior to his stay and were super friendly. I could definitely see their love for animals which made me very confident in leaving my dog in their hands. He is staying with them again in a couple weeks :) I highly recommend their services! They also kept me updated on Klaus daily with pictures which I loved. Thank you Amelia and Matthew!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing at caring for our dog while we were away. She and her husband showed him so love, treated our dog just like he was part of their family. She sent multiple pictures/videos each day. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Melanie is amazing, super kind, and beyond accommodating. She cares about my pup just as much as I do. She’s always super responsive and sends great updates with awesome pictures. Highly recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience with Nicole and her family. She was so responsive, flexible, and communicative through the whole process. She has an amazing back yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. We received updates and pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, and it was clear they were completely loved on by her and her family!”
“Elizabeth and Chris were great! We left our 7 month old puppy for the first time for a family trip and she had a blast. Pictures from Elizabeth showed how much fun our pup had doggy ‘summer camp’”
“They took amazing care of my fur baby! Carolyn was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond to keep us connected to our pet while we were away from him. They treated him like family which meant the world to us. We will definitely request them to care for our baby again next time we need a sitter! 100% recommended!!”
“We’ve had a very positive experience with Mo since we connected with her a few months ago. I love the daily photos and videos of our dog Ruger. He seems to really enjoy it there and is always tuckered out the next day we pick him up because he gets plenty of exercise and playtime with the other dogs! The huge back yard is plenty of space for all the dogs to play and run around. We will continue to use her services!”
“Karrie was fantastic! She was so accommodating and let us meet her before our trip. She sent us so many updates and I absolutely trust her with my dog. We’ll absolutely be requesting her in the future.”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Brandin, his wife Caroline and family were wonderful to work with. They helped ease our nerves and reassured us our dog would do great, which he did. They are very nice people and great to work with. Quick to respond and took wonderful care of our dog. We plan to use them again and it’s nice that our dog has another loving family to go to while we’re away.”
“Gray loved staying with Leigh and her family! He was not only well cared for, but doted on and given lots of love! Leigh sent regular update messages and pictures for us and we really appreciated knowing he was having so much fun playing with their dog Rosie and making himself right at home.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“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.”
“Steve was avail or on short notice to care for my newly adopted brother and sister kittens. I was worried about leaving them so soon after they moved in. The updates each day made it easier knowing they were taken care of. Thank you !”
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: As a cat owner, I understand firsthand the unique needs and personalities that come with caring for cats. I’m experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes regularly, and creating a calm, safe environment where cats feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, which helps me recognize when they want attention, playtime, or space. Whether your cat is energetic and playful or more independent and reserved, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure they feel cared for and stress-free while you’re away.
“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!!”
“I have been so grateful to have Amelia check in on my cats, three separate times now. She is so reliable, prompt to reply and I will continue to utilize her services as long as I can! She is a lifesaver, every single time!”
About: I have taken care of friends neighbors dogs and cats. I have had to feed and take of my own dog for about 5 years now. I also have 2 cats that I take care of also. One of my cats is almost 8 so she is starting to show signs of old age. I truly know what it takes to take care of pets and how much exercise and quality time they need to be healthy and happy! I have 2 cats and a Boxer- Lab mix dog and I feed and take care of them. I take my dog on a walk any chance I get. I have a fenced yard and a dog who would love to play and I can crate your dog in need be but I’m sure they will
“Elyea took the best care of Astro while I was gone for the week of Thanksgiving! She recorded all her check ins with him and provided pictures of him while she played with him, which I was able to save quite a few of them!”
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
“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.”
“Joel is fantastic! He’s very gentle and kind. This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and I was nervous to have a stranger in my home taking care of my girl. However, Joel put my mind at ease immediately and has been a lifesaver. Definitely plan to continue booking with him in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of cats for years. I pet sat my neighbors 4 cats for 5+ years now while they have travelled back to Europe for months at a time. I love cats and taking care of them and can ensure anyone that their cat(s) will be under the best care and love they can get!
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.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
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.
“Rhonda was absolutely amazing! She accepted my dog super last minute, which I was so grateful for, and made the whole process completely stress-free having to leave him for the week. He loved staying with her and was so happy and comfortable the entire time. I truly felt at ease knowing he was safe and well cared for while I was away for the week. I would 100% trust Rhonda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
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.
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: 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.
“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've been taking care of all kinds of babies since I was a little girl. From bottle feeding bunnies and kittens to reptiles and horses. I usually always have some kind of a rescue at my house whether it be a foster dog or a some off the wall duck someone brought to me. I take care of them all as they were my own. My true passion is training though! My father has always trained his bird dogs as well as others and I've just always enjoyed seeing what different breeds can do/pick up on. I work remote and part-time at that, so I have plenty of time to tend to your fur baby. I have a fairly open schedule so I can be pretty flexible to fit your needs! I have a large yard (it's being fenced but is not currently) my 2 dogs and cat would love to play with your baby. We enjoy long walks or just snuggling on the couch. I'll treat yours as my own.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and cats. My family always had either a dog or cats or both. I’ve always loved taking care of them and loving on them. I work from home on weekdays so I’m always around, and my husband is home at night and on weekends. Our home is dog friendly and revolves around our dog, Millie. There are dog toys in every room, treats in the cupboards, and all furniture is dog approved and appreciated. I’m self employed and I work from home, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. They will get plenty of potty breaks, time outside, and walks around the neighborhood and to the park. We have a fenced in yard that has plenty of room to run and play in and windows for people watching and neighborhood patrolling. We also have a friendly dog who loves to play and meet new people. Your pets will be watched closely and loved on thoroughly!
About: Between Elijah and Sarah, we have taken care of 5 personal pets, including puppies and big dogs. We have a border collie/lab mix who would love to have a friend around to play with! We have a large fenced in backyard perfect for a dog who loves to run. If you have a larger dog who is friendly and good with cats this is the perfect home for your dog to stay! We have a strict one-client policy so you have the guarantee your pets will be the only ones staying with us. We both work from home, so we are readily available at all times to take care of any dog’s needs, including many breaks to play with the doggos and run around with them outside. We have experience handling pills and can watch any high-needs dog. We have a large fenced in backyard and there are very few circumstances where someone is not home. We have a 1600 sq ft, 4 bedroom home with plenty of room for your fur baby! Our dog, Georgia, would love to keep your little pup company!

I have a fenced in yard and two friendly fur babies that play really well with other dogs. I have a crate available if needed and a dog bed so that your pup is comfortable.
“Jamie was prompt in her response to my initial inquiry and we were able to set up a meet and greet right away. Her home is lovely, clean, and has a fenced in backyard. She spoke so highly of my puppy and it really made me feel like she cared about her. She spent time training her every day and adhered to the schedule I provided for structure. She set up play dates to socialize my puppy as she doesn’t have any pets in her home. She went above and beyond training on concepts I hadn’t introduced to my puppy yet. She was thorough in our initial meet and even recapped with me at the end of the week. Her daily recaps shared so much info about my puppies day and I loved hearing about everything they did together and how much she enjoyed her time with my puppy. Jamie is a stellar caregiver, accommodating of my schedule, loving towards my puppy, and great with communication.”

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!
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals, as I’ve had pets in my home since I was a baby. Growing up around pets taught me responsibility at a young age, including feeding, grooming, cleaning, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have become very attentive to their needs, behaviors, and routines. I understand how important it is to provide not just basic care, but also companionship, patience, and love. My lifelong experience has made me confident in handling different personalities and ensuring pets are well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student and work a part time job as a server. Most of my availability is in the mornings on weekdays and weekends as needed. I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience providing private pet care for families. Over time, I’ve built trust with pet owners by consistently showing up on time, following specific care instructions, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I’ve cared for pets with different routines, temperaments, and needs, which has made me adaptable and attentive in any situation. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for years! I have lots of experience with different breeds and many different types of caregiving. Some of my experience includes watching two very active pit bull mix siblings. I would check in on the dogs 4+ times per day, take each one on a 2+ mile walk every day, and spend at least 1-2 hours of sit down time so they weren’t lonely. I watched those lovely dogs for 2-3 weeks at a time for numerous years! My most recent experience was taking care of Two english pointers, a rottweiler, and smaller mutt dog for 3 nights! Each dog had a separate feeding space and interactive form of eating. I made sure to follow their owners specific instructions and give the dogs lots of walks, outside time, and sit down time for 5+ hours a day! As well as the dogs I took care of two goats at that home as well! I am very capable of walking and pet sitting many different dogs. I have experience with smaller dogs like Mini poodles, to high energy large dogs like weimaraners. I will do my best to give your animals the love and care they deserve.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’ve always been around animals. I work at a dog daycare in Lawrence, where I get to work with all kinds of dogs. I help with playgroups, feeding, medications, and making sure everyone is safe and doing well. I’m also comfortable with cats, including cats that are a little shy or like to keep to themselves. I recently graduated high school and just started at JCCC. I’m taking my prerequisites there and hopefully will eventually transfer to K-State and continue working toward my goal of becoming a veterinarian! My boyfriend, Cameron, is 20 and helps me with pet sitting. He loves animals too and has a lot of experience with them. He helped train our German Shepherd from a puppy and grew up with several cats, so he’s comfortable around both dogs and cats. I just like to let everyone know that Cameron may come with me for visits or overnight stays. We both really enjoy being around animals and will take great care of your pets while you’re away! I work Tuesday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I’m available before work, during my breaks, and after work. So I am able to check your pets every 4-5 hours. I also have full availability on weekends and Mondays. I do my best to be flexible to meet your pet’s needs !! When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. 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! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet.
About: I have had many years of experience caring for my own pets, including feeding, walking, basic care, and putting them in a safe and loving space when I am with them. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets since I was little and I have no doubt that I can provide pets with what they need. I currently don't work, but if I do eventually, it would be part-time so I will have a ton of time to watch your pets! I will treat your home and pets with respect while carefully following instructions in detail. I will communicate regularly with you with updates and photos about how your pets are doing! I will do all of this while keeping your space clean, calm, and consistent with your pet's routine.
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 grew up on a farm taking care of a wide variety of animals, and now have a husky of my own who is part of my family. We love taking walks, hikes, and exploring the sniff spots at the park, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, and routine are for pets. I also have experience volunteering in animal husbandry for a wildlife rehab center, so this is truly a passion and lifestyle for me. Pets are our family. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is being treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I work a remote job which means I have flexibility to take care of your pet(s) throughout the day, and of course flexibility in the evenings and weekends. I currently do not offer in-home care at this time due to limited space. However, I am available to visit your home for check-ins and walks.
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
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 been working for a dog boarding and daycare facility for about 2 years 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: I have had dogs in my life for more than 25 years. I have adopted and fostered a variety of pets, including a couple with trauma in their past. All of our experiences have been positive and we have forged great bonds. I have been through dog training and have experience with administering medications. We have a roomy home and a nice backyard for play etc. Our household is low key and we are very flexible. I am happy yo come to your home as well, I understand that can be more comfortable for your pets. I have experience working with pets that are not my own, you can be confident that I have seen it all, nothing upsets me! I work a part time job, and also have a home-based business, with lots of flexibility in my schedule. My husband is retired, he is my backup so coverage is not an issue. In your home, I follow the guidelines you establish. If something unexpected comes up, I get in touch with you or use my discretion (depending on urgency and situation). Since I have raised my own children, owned multiple dogs, have worked in Elder Care, and now work as a Nanny, handling crazy things and responding to true emergencies is part of my skill set. In my own home, we have a relaxed routine, and we have time to spend with our doggie guests. We have created a calming environment to help manage any separate anxiety or stress. (We do not currently have our own pets, sadly)
“Zoe was great with my dog, Birdie Girl. Birdie is a 50lb ball of chaotic excitement t with no manners. Zoe walked her. Birdie came back tired and happy!! Next walk, Birdie was so excited to see Zoe. She knew it was going to be a good walk! Thanks Zoe!”
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.
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since middle school! I live in Oklahoma and 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 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. I want to ensure your pet gets all the care they need, on time and in their specific routines. As well as making your pet feel loved and cared for.
About: I have had a dog around ever since I was born. I have always taken care of large dogs, but also have taken care of my neighbor and friends small dogs many times. I am a college student who is looking for all of the work I can get! I currently work part time and have always had a dog throughout my entire life. I love getting to take care and play with dogs. I will follow your pets usual routine as closely as possible along with any special medications or special care that they may need. I love giving each pet plenty of attention while keeping an eye on their well-being. I also make sure to fully respect your home while keeping it clean and secure.

“New to Rover, Steve was at the top of the search list and surely Tako and I experienced why. He was great, he has a way with dogs and absolutely loves them! Very chill, laid back, and accommodated very well to my requests or changes. He is very responsive, updates on how Tako is doing, and detailed Tako’s visit at the end. The added bonus is that all I had to provide for Tako for his stay was a bowl and food, Steve took care of the rest! Tako was in very good hands, allowing me to enjoy my trip with no worries about my furry son. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will be asking Steve to dogsit Tako in the future!”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“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.”
“Natalia and her husband are awesome! I always know my dogs are in good hands and they treat them like their own! She also sends pictures!! I highly recommend Natalia!!”

“Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Petra did an amazing job watching my two boys and it made our trip better knowing they were in good hands. Seeing the daily photos from the walks and cuddles made us very happy. The boys were both super happy at pickup and I could tell they both had a lot of fun. We will definitely be returning for future trips.”
“Amelia and Matthew took amazing care of my fur baby Klaus! They did a meet and great prior to his stay and were super friendly.

They also kept me updated on Klaus daily with pictures which I loved. Thank you Amelia and Matthew!”

“We had an amazing experience with Nicole and her family. She was so responsive, flexible, and communicative through the whole process. She has an amazing back yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. We received updates and pictures throughout our dogs’ stay, and it was clear they were completely loved on by her and her family!”
“Elizabeth and Chris were great! We left our 7 month old puppy for the first time for a family trip and she had a blast. Pictures from Elizabeth showed how much fun our pup had doggy ‘summer camp’”
“They took amazing care of my fur baby! Carolyn was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond to keep us connected to our pet while we were away from him. They treated him like family which meant the world to us. We will definitely request them to care for our baby again next time we need a sitter! 100% recommended!!”
“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of our special needs dog. Her dogs were super friendly and very welcoming of him even though he was much larger than them, and they all seemed to become great friends. We will be utilizing her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Brandin, his wife Caroline and family were wonderful to work with. They helped ease our nerves and reassured us our dog would do great, which he did. They are very nice people and great to work with. Quick to respond and took wonderful care of our dog. We plan to use them again and it’s nice that our dog has another loving family to go to while we’re away.”
“Gray loved staying with Leigh and her family! He was not only well cared for, but doted on and given lots of love! Leigh sent regular update messages and pictures for us and we really appreciated knowing he was having so much fun playing with their dog Rosie and making himself right at home.”
“Magen took care of Buddy for me while I was away. She kept me updated with a couple of photos each day and let me know he was doing well. He seemed happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was nice to know he was being walked and cared for. I appreciated having the peace of mind while I was gone. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Gina was really great. This was our first time leaving our dog for extended time while out of the country. Gina sent updates 1-2 times a day and always let us know how it was going. We could tell our dog was being well cared for and having fun from the photos/videos. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
