He obviously had such a fun vacation at Amelia’s home and made furriends too! Thank you for taking care of Mica, will bring him back again for sure!! 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!”
“We had the most amazing experience with a family that definitely took care of, and loved, our two dogs. The updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day were great as well to see how much fun they were having. Thank you so much!!”

“Natalia did a great job with our energetic pup, and she kept us updated with pictures too! Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely keep her in mind when we need someone to watch our dog next time. Thanks again Natalia!”
“Very efficient in keeping me posted on my pup. He did better for her than me lol. Gizmo found his new best friends!! Never used a sitter before but so glad it was a great first experience.”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“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! :)”
“Nicole and her family were amazing and went above and beyond when caring for our dog Macy! She has a huge backyard for Macy and her dogs to run and play! Nicole communicated quickly even on the holiday. Highly recommend Nicole!!”
“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!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! I needed an overnight stay in a pinch and she was so communicative and easy to work with. I really appreciated her care for Clover and I will definitely be using her services again. She also has wonderful dogs of her own at her home and I know that my pup loved making new friends.”
“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.”
“Erin and her family were absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie, Roxy. Erin kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, and it was clear that Roxy felt right at home. She came home happy, relaxed and clearly cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such a kind and responsible sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin again. Highly recommend!”
“Karrie was super flexible with our schedule and took great care of Benny! She even took him for a walk when the weather was nice which is awesome. We would definitely book with her again!”
“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 18 years old and have been passionate about animals my entire life. Growing up with both dogs and cats, and currently owning four dogs of my own, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently work at a local dog daycare in Lawrence, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’m confident in providing safe, compassionate care tailored to their needs. I’m also an experienced cat caregiver and understand that every cat has a unique personality. From social and affectionate cats to more independent or timid ones, I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and secure. I recently graduated high school and will be attending JCCC this fall to pursue a pre-veterinary track. My goal is to build a lifelong career working with animals, and I genuinely love every opportunity to care for them. My boyfriend, Cameron, accompanies me during pet-sitting visits. If you would prefer that I come alone, just let me know. You’re always welcome to meet both of us beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable. When caring for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own. Their safety, comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I’ll make sure you receive regular updates while you’re away.
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.
“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've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.
“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!”
“Annicka was kind and professional - I could tell that my cats were in good hands. Her home was clean, and she was very responsive to messages. Thanks for working with me so last minute! 🙏🏻”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 for neighbors families and friends. I do walks, baths and general care for dogs and other pets.

I am very adaptable to each pets needs and have dealt with various different types of animals. I am very respectful and neat when entering other people’s homes
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 have done a lot of tasks like walking training cleaning and of course playing I care for my own dog on a daily basis, and I will be happy to do jobs at anytime between my other job and other activities. 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.
“Such a nice couple! They are prompt and very reliable. I was completely comfortable leaving my cat with them. They took on the extra job of having to give him insulin. They spent time with my cat and brushed and played with him. Not to mention all the must do’s my cat needed. Will use them again and highly recommend them! ❤️”
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 have over 8 years of experience caring for pets through apps such as Wag and Sittercity, as well as clients through recommendations. I have experience administering oral and surface medications. I do work full time but I live where I work so it is easy to step out of my office and come to my home and relieve pets. I can also work from home if need be to spend extra time with your pet. My weekend availability will always be open as I only work Monday through Friday. My apartment is very spacious. They would have access to only the living room if I am away but all other spaces when I am home. I have space for a crate if you prefer to have that in the space. Within your home, I am completely respectful and adjust to the rules already set forth in the home as I am just a visitor.
About: My family has had dogs, cats and fish my whole life. I often watch them when my parents are out of town and I have dog and cat sat for family & friends for years. I have helped a friends family with their cattle and pigs, but am not as experienced with livestock outside chickens. I’m currently available 7 days/wk I work as a server in my pleasant so whoever I’m staying with ideally should be able to go 6-8hrs between potty breaks! If I have 2 weeks or more advanced notice I can make arrangements to be able to check in more frequently. o o o o o o o o o o I love interacting with the pets and getting to see them get more comfortable with me. I am very comunicative and willing to ask questions.
About: Loving and caring for animals is truly what I enjoy and love. I am very comfortable around all animals considering I grew up around dogs, cats, cows, horses my entire life while currently owning three dogs, three cats, and a horse. I have been pet sitting for people in my home town for many years. *This is my full time job while being here at KSU for college so other than classes here and there I am free during the day and almost always at night so animals will rarely ever be left alone. I am almost always available and am always around Manhattan. Feel free to message me for last minute bookings if during the week days only! My name is Addy and I am from the Lawrence KS area. I am currently attending KSU as a freshman. I have worked at multiple horse boarding facilities and almost on all holidays have taking care of pets for people in my hometown, which I am now wanting to continue doing here during the school year. I am also currently majoring in animal science production management side. Loving and caring for animals is truly my life and I do not take anything about it lightly the trust that somebody puts into me to provide a safe and loving enviorment for there pets is super important to me because I myself have fur babies that I am very particular with and always want to make sure they will be taken care of correctly when I am away. I am a freshman in college this year at ksu and have plenty of free time during the day and night to come over and watch your animals! I have two classes sometimes three during the day but all of my days are pretty flexible except Monday when I have two classes and a lab. While being up here at KSU and not being able to see all of my fur babies I would love to come and see yours and provide all the care they need to them! I have two puppies, one old dog, three cats, and a horse back at home. I am very good with animals. I would love to come hangout with your fur babies while you are gone or busy at work! I have worked at three horse boarding facilities so I know what it is like to make sure the care is perfect for peoples animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and making them feel loved and safe, I would love to provide that for your pet.
About: Growing up I was never without a pet. We always had cats and dogs. I have helped care for pets since I was a little girl and often watched animals for family friends. I had my very first dog at 18 who turned out to be deaf. Taking care of him was not easy but so worth all the love we shared. Sadly he passed away from Cancer in 2013. I live a few blocks from the Eudora Elementary school and love walking the trail that goes behind it. I find joy in watching my own animals run and play. I treat all animals as if they were my own children. I currently work through the week but I am looking to grow my clients through Rover so I may watch animals full time as I absolutely love them! Right now I am available in the early afternoon/evening and most weekends to do check-ins. I currently work from home and can do doggy day care or boarding through the week and your pet will not be left alone. I hope to be able to watch animals full time eventually. I am married and have a 7 year old son. My husband and son share in my love for animals. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs who are super spoiled just like our son. We love to play and cuddle as a family. Our favorite is to cuddle up on the couch with our fur babies and watch a movie. In the client's home I will respect specific requests and respect your home as if it were my own. I can assure a safe, loving, and loyal friend to walk/care your animal. I will gladly take and send picture updates while with your pet to help ensure your pets safety. I'm also happy to help with an special accommodations your pet needs.

“Steve is wonderful with my little guy Fitz! He texts me updates and pictures throughout the day and is super flexible and willing to go the extra mile (especially when work emergencies come up).”
“Being from Lawrence I wanted to find a place close to home but I took a chance on in home care out of town and Mahala is 100% worth the 30-minute drive Monday-Friday. She’s incredibly accommodating and truly treats Gus like her own! he’s so spoiled with her. Gus is usually a very nervous dog, but he immediately fell in love with her, her family, and her dog, which says everything. He has a great space to play and relax, and now he gets excited to go to daycare every day. I couldn’t recommend Mahala more!”
“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 have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.
About: I have had pets my whole live. Growing up I had 4 dogs and a cat. When i met my husband, he had a dog named Cali, and I had a dog named Baylor. Now, we share both and have also welcomed a very shy cat into our family. I have experience caring for puppies all the way up to senior dogs. Baylor, for instance, was just 3 weeks old when I found her in a box, and now she's a healthy senior pup. I would love to provide your pups with the same care and love that i show our own, making them a part of our family while they're with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with two kids. We spend a lot of time at home and outdoors playing. Your pets would receive plenty of attention and constant love, just like my three friendly pets. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment for pets in our home. With my experience from raising dogs and cats, i understand the importance of routine, love, and attention. Whether it's regular walks, playtime in my spacious yard, or cozy spots for relaxation indoors, I ensure their well-being and happiness are top priorities. My pets, including Baylor, whom i rescued as a young pup, have thrived under my care, and I would extend the same level of commitment and affection to any pet entrusted into my care.
“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 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.
“Luke and his family cared for my baby for 12 days during my 12 hr shifts over a 4 week period and it went well. It’s very difficult leaving your puppy with strangers and I must say I felt at ease leaving her with Luke and they kept her safe and happy and content. I would use these pet sitters again for sure and I was happy with feeling safe leaving her with them!”
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 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: 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.

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)
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've been lucky enough to take care of homes and pets in lots of different places, like California, Oregon, and even other countries. All that experience has helped me become really good at providing reliable and loving care for both pets and their people. I’m really good at going with the flow and can easily change my schedule to fit what a pet needs. Whether it’s walking the dog early in the morning, playing with them in the afternoon, or feeding them at night, I’m always flexible and ready to adjust. I always do exactly what my clients ask me to do, whether it’s about feeding their pet on time, giving them medicine, or teaching them good behavior. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I try to make their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible.
About: I have been around and taken care of dogs for my entire life, I love dogs and I work extremely well with all that I have encountered. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 job, I can adjust easily to your pet’s routine, whether that means morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening playtime. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the specific instructions you provide and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s medication, late-night potty breaks, or just extra cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels secure and cared for.
About: I have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, an experienced, reliable pet caregiver and lifelong animal lover. My son and I recently said goodbye to our beloved dog of 12 years, and while we aren’t quite ready to welcome a new pet of our own, we deeply enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach—meeting each dog where they are and offering just-right levels of activity, enrichment, and rest based on their needs, age, and energy. I prioritize safety, routines, clear communication, and plenty of affection, including snuggles and relaxed indoor downtime. My 10-year-old son is kind, gentle, and very respectful with animals, and he especially loves quiet companionship and playtime (always supervised). Your pet will be treated like a valued family member, and you can expect dependable care, thoughtful attention, and regular updates while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, play, and check-ins, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends, to match your pet’s routine. Pets are always supervised in a calm, clean home. I follow routines, respect boundaries, involve my gentle, animal-savvy child appropriately, and communicate clearly with owners.

“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! :)”

“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!”
“Gina was the perfect host for our fur babies, Bentley 11 1/2yr Golden and Milo 8 month Golden.

Her communication was amazing with cute little videos and pics. When the need arises Gina will be our first go to.”

“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.”
