“We left our dog and cat with Tony for 2 weeks and He sent us photos almost everyday When we came back from our vacation we saw both healthy, and Tony took care even of the house 100% approved and for sure we will call him again in the future”
“KB was so wonderful with our animals! Our pup can sometimes be standoffish, but they immediately loved KB. Her experience was evident and you should feel comfortable leaving your animals in her hands! We have three senior animals (a dog and two cats) and she took great care of them, including giving meds, providing exercise and walks, and sending frequent picture updates.”
About: Great with pups! Love any sized dog. Cats are also welcome my dogs do great with other animals. I’ve always had a dog with me. I’m at home 24/7 so I’m always available and can be a sitter on short notice!! I’m also a very active person and love walks. Fenced in yard and lots of toys and treats(if permitted to give) dogs are like babies to me and will always be taken care of.
About: I've been helping care for friends' dogs on and off for several years through drop-in visits and daily care. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As an active person who enjoys walking and running, I understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I strive to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'm active and enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who need exercise and attention. I strive to be dependable, communicative, and accommodating to each pet's unique routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules. I provide a calm, loving environment and pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: Hello! I am 17 years old living in the Clarksville TN area! I am currently in the agricultural academy at Montgomery Central High School. I am looking to join the Veterinary Science route for my senior year! I spend time helping take care of goats, cows and sheep at our school. My family personally has 6 dogs, I have grown up around animals and I love them so much! I have experience with all different types of animals in any size! I’m currently available part-time . I am available at any time past 9:00 Am. I am available any time on weekends during summer, even overnight stays if needed! I have 6 dogs at home and have had many cats in the past. I love to become best friends with absolutely any animals I come across. I am more than willing to do anything that helps you and makes your life easier! Many animals tend to take quickly with me and I am not afraid of any type of animal big or small!
“Whitney is absolutely amazing!!!!! We had a scheduled sitter before her that was a very bad experience. We were in desperate need of a sitter and even with it being last minute she was able to watch them. She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and cat! She sent numerous pictures and videos. All my dogs fell in love with her! And it truly gave me hope that I was able to trust someone again with my pets. I want to thank her for her time and the care she gave! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I currently work at a veterinary clinic and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals with many different needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering owner-provided medications as directed, monitoring pets closely, and following veterinary instructions for pets that need extra attention. My animal experience also includes working at PetSmart and years of caring for my own dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’m comfortable with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and individualized care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. Before and after work, I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, monitor, and spend one-on-one time with the pets staying with me. I can also follow specific feeding schedules, medication schedules, exercise restrictions, or other instructions provided by the owner. Safety is always my top priority. I have a spacious home and a large backyard where pets can have plenty of room to play, exercise, and relax. I closely supervise animals and can keep pets separated when needed based on their personality, size, comfort level, or medical needs. Because of my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also comfortable noticing changes in behavior, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, or general condition. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are away from home.
“Tressyre was absolutely AMAZING with our boys! Not only did she make them comfortable in our home, she was also extremely communicative and timely in her responses! She is definitely or new sitter! My boys love her, and so do we!”
About: I’ve always been an advocate for animals. Their innocence, loyalty, and dedication to humans is unwavering so I try to give them love in return. I just left my 9-5 to per-sue what makes me happy and still make money. Caring for animals will give me the ability to spend more time with mine also. I have 3 dogs in my home so I would care for your pet in your home. Plus I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes. I have a live in dog sitter so my pets always have someone with them giving me the time to help other people with their pets.
“Emily was the best with our 7mo old Weimaraner, Dodger, while we took a week-long vacation. She was consistent, reliable, sent us pictures/updates and walked him daily. We would absolutely recommend Emily and plan to use her again in the future!”
About: I have extensive experience in caring for dogs, ensuring they lead happy and healthy lives. Along with providing balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and grooming, I also have a strong background in dog training and animal behavior. I’m skilled at understanding different dog personalities, whether they’re energetic puppies or calm adults, and I tailor care to meet their individual needs. My training experience includes teaching basic commands, addressing behavioral issues, and fostering positive habits. Building trust and creating a loving environment for dogs is my priority, and I take pride in giving them the attention, affection, and guidance they deserve. If you would also be interested in dog training please message me. If anything changes I will communicate with you about times and try my best to find the perfect time to get with you and your fur-babies. 😊 Sunday: 3pm-6pm [Church Day] Monday: 8am-6pm Tuesday: 8am-6pm Wednesday: 8am-6pm [Personal Day] [Intermittent] Thursday: 8am-6pm Friday: 8am-6pm Saturday: 8am-6pm If your dog bullies other animals in the house they will be crated or put in a time-out. I am an AKC Certified [dog trainer/evaluator] and animal behaviorist in training. So I know how dogs think. And if your dog tries to bully me, I know how to handle it with force-free methods since I am a force-free dog trainer. I have two corgis at home who pick fights with each other and when they do, they are separated and crated for about 5 minutes before release to calm down.
“Annie did a great job watching my dog over the 4th of July weekend. He can be difficult during stressful times and she went above and beyond what she had to do. Excellent with the dog and gave me a piece of mind while I was on Vacation.”

FAQs for House Sitting - La Fayette
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Fayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred La Fayette walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in La Fayette maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in La Fayette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
