About: I have been a homeowner and pet owner since 1991. I have cared for both large and small breed dogs since puppy age through adulthood. I have also raised and cared for fish, rabbits, birds, chickens and cats. I am retired from owning/operating small businesses. I have many years of experience with high demanding responsibilities and attention. I have most recently become a grandparent to a beautiful baby boy. I am currently helping my daughter with both her first child and large Shepard Mix puppy, Nelly. I would like to find other outside work and socialization during this process. As I mentioned before, I am very responsible and trustworthy. I am very good with children and animals. I am very good with caring for pets and adapting to their home surroundings. I reside in downtown Lafayette and have enjoyed many walks exploring the lovely Lafayette/Morage trail as well as the Lafayette Reservoir. Dog walking services within a 2 mile radius of Downtown Lafayette. I enjoy the outdoors walking, hiking, I also have a great appreciation for the arts and design.
“Alisa was reliable and consistent, must have qualities in someone who is taking care of your home and animals. I appreciated her daily updates with photos and that she went the extra mile when our pets needed it.”
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful. Her pre-trip visit put me instantly at ease about leaving our two 18 year old cats in her care. Daily pictures kept us in touch. Her son going along made the cats very happy to have a new playmate. She’s a ten star for sure!”
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Had the pleasure of having Lucy watch our pups this past weekend for the first time and she was amazing! The dogs adored her and she took such great care of them during her visits and followed all instructions. She sent us pictures of the pups which made us feel even more at ease. We will definitely rebook with her again. Thank you, Lucy! 🙏🏼 🐶”
“Kit was an excellent cat sitter. I have 2 cats with various medical needs and Kit was comfortable with giving my cat his inhaler, plus liquid medicine for both cats as well as carrying out complicated feeding routines. She was able to deal with my very snotty cat, which is no easy task. I would not hesitate to hire kit again!!”
“Stephanie is the best! I’m such a worry wart with my pets and I always trust her whenever we are away. She goes above and beyond. You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including a Mini Goldendoodle and a Maltese, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve also dog-sat for many different dogs, ranging from family members’ pets to friends and friends-of-friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. I truly love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I enjoy giving them the attention, affection, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy. While I don’t currently have a pet living with me, that means I can fully focus on giving your dog personalized care, plenty of love, and a safe, welcoming environment. I work from 8:00 am to 12pm every day from Monday to Friday! However I am free on the weekends. I am more than willing to adjust and be flexible with times! I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. I take time to get to know every pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed in my care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime preferences, and any special instructions closely. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and lots of attention, and I’m always happy to provide updates to keep owners informed and at ease.
“Julia has been amazing! She went above and beyond while taking care of my cats. She made sure they were loved and she also helped give one of my cats medication while I was gone, but I never expected her to clean! She even vacuumed and cleaned! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my cats and my house!”
About: I’m available any day after 3 p.m. and have plenty of time to give your cat the attention and care they need. I’m happy to spend time playing, relaxing, and keeping them company. I'll care for your cat as if they were my own. I can provide food, fresh water, treats, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I'm also happy to clean the litter box and take care of their basic needs while keeping them safe and comfortable.
“Quinn is great! I love how professional she is with everything. She is punctual, great communication and most of all take awesome care for my kitties .I would definitely book them again .”
About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. I’m also a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats over the years, and I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat wants some attention and cuddles, or your pet just needs someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being taken care of! I’m currently in school so I have a lot of flexibility for drop in visits throughout the day! I’m available during the week as well as weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routines comfortable and familiar. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and secure.
“Sabrina was a great sitter! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was being well taken care of and that I would receive regular updates. Having that peace of mind is the most important thing for me when I’m away for an extended period. When I arrived home, it was like I had never left—my cat was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Sabrina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. 🐱💕”
“Wonderful pet sitter. She’s very responsive, performed medicine to our 21 year old cat and sent wonderful videos. This is the first time we have used Jordyn and couldn’t be more satisfied!”
About: I grew up with German Shepherd mix (he was my brother since I’m an only child). I am reliable and I love treating the animals like they are my own! I work as a Realtor so my schedule has flexibility. Letting the dog out for potty breaks and getting walks is a breeze for my schedule. 3+ years on Rover and 10+ in caring for animals with my own business, I am a trusted pet care partner. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I provide various updates, texts and photos. I secure all gates and doors before leaving.
“I am so pleased with Annie. She was great with our cat. This was the first time that we have needed to leave our cat with anyone. She provided continuous updates and made us feel at ease. Thank you Annie.”

Kelly was wonderful. My cat seemed to like her right away and she made sure to update me throughout my time away and sent photos. I felt very calm knowing someone kind and responsible was caring for my cat while I was away. Would recommend her services to anyone in need.
Amanda was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was there on time and stayed for the full duration of each booking. We loved the different updates and pictures she sent with each visit, she was there to spend time with him. We could tell our cat warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company, which put us at ease during vacation. Will definitely be booking her again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
