We absolutely love Lawrence pet friends. We were nervous about leaving our cats at home while we went on a 5 day vacation. Lawrence pet friends took away all our worries. They are total pros. Staff is amazing! You can tell they are animal lovers. They were easy to communicate with and always prompt and courteous. Highly recommend! read more

This company is simply the best! I knew my beloved feline companion would be well cared for, including administering her medications.

Lawrence pet friends stopped by at lunchtime every weekday for the past 10 weeks to love on my pup while I had a temporary job that prevented me from coming home to let Stella out during the day. Stella is a 13 month old 75 lb bundle of energy and she can be a handful. I was nervous about sitters ability to handle her at first, but LPF quickly built my trust. The sitters were 100% up to the challenge and put my mind at ease. LPF was reliable, trustworthy, and very easy to communicate with on the several occasions when we needed to reschedule or make a change to routine. We also have cameras in the house and I can report that all the sitters treated our pup kindly and competently, and all sitters acted with integrity and did exactly what they said they would. Sitters were ALWAYS up to speed on our instructions, even if they had not been to our house before. They followed all of our instructions, walked her, gave her treats, and played with her every day. They also uploaded pics of her from their visit each day, and checking in on those pics while I was away at work was the BEST part of my workday. The photos included with this post were all taken by LPF sitters during their visits. Stella loved all the sitters but she was especially sweet on Tia (sitter) and Sheree (owner). We will definitely schedule more visits with LPF in the future as needs arise! Thank you LPF!! read more

See all

They took care of our cats recently and everything went great! Our cats seemed very chill when we arrived home after our 9-day trip. We received daily updates including informative comments, reassurance and photos through our LPF account. Will be using their service again, no doubt! read more

I've been a client of Lawrence Pet Friends for almost 4 years now, and I continue to be very happy with their reliability, communication & how they care for my pets. I have 2 cats & 2 dogs, one of whom is utterly insane, but LPF consistently takes good care of them, even the crazy one. They've shifted to an online scheduling system that makes it easy to schedule visits, easy to pay, and easy to get updates on my pets' care while I'm out of town. read more

We are very pleased with Lawrence Pet Friends and their pet sitting services. We have been using LPF for over two years. Traveling monthly, we have relied on their dependability and professionalism to care for our "super senior" cat as well as our home. We don't have to worry while we're away knowing our cat is safe and the house is being well looked after. Plus their online service makes it easy to manage your pet's profile including routines, eating habits, medications as well as instructions regarding your home, i.e., collecting mail, watering plants, opening blinds, etc. Following each visit, we receive an update with a photo of our kitty cat. We've even had to contact them after hours when we locked ourselves out of the house. They immediately returned our call offering to meet us with a key. They have been wonderful caretakers and cat sitters. I would highly recommend Lawrence Pet Friends to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Connie & Bob read more

I've used Lawrence Pet Friends a couple of times and as a result, always enjoy my trips because I know my cats are happy at home getting cared for and loved. LPF is very flexible about how many visits you want, they do a complete initial consultation, and they maintain and leave a daily activity log. I highly recommend them. read more

Not super impressed with this company. I hired them for 2 days while I went out of town as a "test drive" for a cat sitter since i am new to Lawrence. They came over a week ahead of time and did a home visit to see where everything was and meet my cats. That went fine. So I leave that Friday and get an email on Saturday (their first visit) with this "crisis" over having to take the litter out. I have a litter genie so I had told them ahead of time to just use that and not worry about taking it out. I had emptied the litter genie earlier that week so there was plenty of space for 2 days worth of litter. Apparently it was "so full" the first sitter had to take it out. I don't believe this for one second, maybe the sitter was OCD or didn't know how it worked, I don't know. But my mom and I both know from using it you don't have to empty it less than every 2 weeks. If this was the only thing that happened I probably would have just said whatever, but the company had the audacity to email me while I'm on my vacation to say how pet sitters shouldn't have to take litter in their car to the dumpster (even though I told them this on the home visit...lack of communication clearly or common sense) and that i needed a garbage can on my porch for her to empty it in to make it "efficient." If you are a pet sitter, taking out litter is part of the job so how about you do it and MAYBE let me know after. The only thing I want to hear while I'm on Vacation is that they're doing well, or if they have some serious illness or injury that could result in death. But NO, clearly on the day of the first visit was the right time for this. I didn't even bother responding to this email because it was so amateur and I probably would have bitched out the owner for poor customer service and judgment. Nonetheless, I get back and emailed the owner to "remind" her that they already knew this and her employee said it would be "no problem." I also said there is no way I'm putting a garbage on my porch because it's hot here and will stink to high heavens when I get back. She writes me back a loooong email that basically didn't listen to either of my complaints and kept trying to prove that what she said in the email was right. I honestly wonder how old this woman is because she has the maturity of a teenager. So I let her know I wouldn't be needing their services. Still very annoyed with this business.apparently it's a bunch of part timers who don't want to do their job, boohoo. Another thing I didn't like was that it was a different person each day which was never communicated to me. Again, this is convenient for them, but doesn't work for me because I have older cats who get nervous around new people. Overall, the communication and quality of services was poor and I would recommend avoiding them. I downloaded an app called Rover which has way more options and it would be the same person everyday for cheaper. Problem solved! read more

Lawrence Pet Friends are priceless! I'm sitting in the snow and frigid cold of Colorado watching the weather channel drone on about all the snow and wind in Kansas. There is no way home. A quick email to Denise and my princes are safe and sound. Weather or not, these guys will make it through! They care and always are easy to arrange for care. the cats love all the sitters. read more
