“Karyn graciously accepted a last minute booking and was wonderful to work with. She took the time to send multiple videos of Bear to reassure us that he was in good hands for the night and was settling in and getting along with her pup Dakota and her long term stay Stella.”
“Thank you so much for caring for our pups while we were on our cruise. I can tell our dogs loved the time they’ve spent with you all. I also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were away. I fully recommend your services to anywho you is in need of dog sitting. Again, thank you so much.”
About: I recently moved to Lafayette and do not live with any animals currently, but I grew up with cats/dogs my entire life and would love help out while I finish my degree. All my school is online so I am very flexible with my schedule and will also work nights/weekends. I’m currently full time online in school so I am very open and flexible to take care of any pets at anytime, including nights/weekends. I make sure to carefully read the instructions from the client and ensure I am doing everything that is asked. If we need to meet before hand, I am more than willing to do that as well, but I have been around animals my entire life and have never had any issues.
“Our pup had an overnight stay with Allyson and her fur babies, and all went great! I felt like he was well taken care of, he had another pup to play with, Allyson provided a safe environment inside and outside her home. Our pup looked like he had a great time upon pickup. Allyson answered my questions and sent updates along the way. Will book again.”
“Laurie did a great job with our dog Zack! She did wonderful at keeping us up to date with Zack. Highly recommend her if you need a dog sitter. Zack really enjoyed the fenced in yard.”
“Havilah provided wonderful dog care experience. Our older dog was at ease and comfortable in their home with her dogs, and their communications were great: responsive and informative. It is always nice to have great confidence when you leave your pup behind, and I did.”
“Courtney is always my first choice when booking a vacation for my pup. She’s very accommodating when I have to travel for work, and I can tell that Oliver loves her and her family so much!”
“Our 70lb puppy can be a handful! We know. Lol. He is such a sweet dog, but might have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to his family. He definitely developed some big anxiety along the way and we have had difficulty kenneling him anymore. He needs some special attention to help calm him and he needs to know he's loved. We almost had to cancel our trip, but Tabitha agreed at the last minute for a meet and greet since he had never been around cats. She agreed to board him after we saw he was unfazed by the cats. She definitely cared for him very well! He didn't come home traumatized from being separated from us. He is active and moving as if nothing ever happened! He has a mean bark, but if you can get past it, you'll see he is just very protective and can be just so sweet. Tabitha went out of her way to make him feel at home!!! She is definitely a very loving animal person and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and again!! Thank you Tabitha!”
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
“She was great. We have 4 cats, youngest being about 3 months, oldest being 18. Their personalities range as far as their age. Even our big scaredy cat came around to her. 100% recommend, and would book again if needed.”
“Adria provided a great experience for our first time seeking an outside sitter for Bear. She sent picture mail of him and was able to keep up with his energetic temperate and curiosity. Will definitely be using again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a long time. I am always someone to count on to take care of your furbabies needs. With my love and attentive care I think I would be a great fit for any of your pet needs. I am currently a home school senior in high school ,so I am completely open to any of your pet needs throughout the day. I am available 7 days a week!! I usually like to keep my animals indoors in crates or free depending on the preference and take my animals out plenty times throughout the day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitan
Karyn is an absolute GEM. I moved to Lafayette without knowing anyone and immediately needed a sitter for a week. I'm so glad I found Karyn! She is very sweet and understanding of dogs with different personalities. She worked with me to do a trial run one night to make me and my anxious dog feel more comfortable. She was super responsive and flexible when my flight home was cancelled and extended my trip another night. I will definitely be trusting her with my pup again, Mika seemed to have a great stay!
Charlotte did an amazing job watching our pup for a couple days! She was flexible with pickup/dropoff times, and handled a couple of his accidents great. Our boy is pretty high-energy and he came back to us worn out! We got regular pictures throughout each day, and he seemed to have the time of his life. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Capitan is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 92 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Capitan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Capitan can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Capitan home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Capitan.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Capitan. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Capitan sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
