“Alexis did a great job checking in and taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. She offered to come meet me and the cats before we headed out on vacation. She was very friendly, nice and loving towards our cats. She was great at communicating and sending pictures and updates when she checked in. We would love to hire Alexis again next time we are out of town!”
About: I have been raising cats & dogs since I was 6. My first ever dog was a high macitence husky mix from a shelter who needed extra care for his anxiety, and since I’ve raised two corgis. I adore all dogs big and small, and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently working part time, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I am on summer break before college until September when I’ll move to SoCal. I am adaptable to any sort of pet care needed as I’ve taken care of many different animals throughout my life with different needs. I like getting to know the dog’s personalities & habits so I can best assist them, and can always bring treats or other things from home!
“Courtney is wonderful! We have very anxious dogs and she did an amazing job giving them individual care to ensure they were comfortable, safe and cared for while we were out of town. She is highly communicative and thoughtful. Would definitely book again!”
“Valerie was terrific. She took great care of our cat and had lots of ideas to make our cat more comfortable while we were away. she is reliable , responsible, detail-oriented and most importantly, she has a way with animals. Although my cat hates when I travel, she was more relaxed upon my return than she had been after other trips. I attribute that to Valerie’s sensitive care.”
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
“Brandi is great to work with! Very communicative and reliable, and it’s obvious she cares for all animals 🩷 Thank you Brandi for keeping our minds at ease while we were away from our furry rascals!”
“Stefanie is wonderful! She's very calm and kind, took time with the animals, and communicates well. She was very flexible as our schedule kept changing. Thank you Stefanie!”
“Savannah is amazing!!! I highly recommend her for your furry babies! This is my first time using Rover and a sitter for my baby regardless. She made it very easy and definitely made me feel less anxious leaving my baby at home. She provides lots and lots of pictures and videos which I loved while away. She goes the extra mile which I very much appreciate! Bogie (my cat) and I love her!”
About: My name is Kelly and I’ve been caring for pups for 5 years, and behavior coach and trainer for 2. My passions focus on giving each pup the best experience, whether that’s through enrichment games, cuddles, or extra walks. You’ll feel like you never left with plenty of pupdates I’ll send your way. In my free time, you’ll find me training at the rescue and helping pups find their furever homes or working with kids. I provide a hands-on experience with my pups I care for, anticipating that I’ll work with various ages or needs. I can be as involved as you need me. Unfortunately my pet boardings are on hold for now. I currently provide house sittings, walks, and drop-ins. When house-sitting, I always treat my clients home as if it’s my own and more, always making it better than I found it. I want owners to return home feeling refreshed with clean and calm home.
“Daria was terrific; extremely responsive and communicative, and thoroughly followed all directions; sent regular pictures+updates and was very caring for my dog; would 100% recommend and book again.”
“Rachael was punctual, great with communication, and took cute photos of our boys. She seems to have a lot of experience and wasn't intimidated by our younger dog that can be a handful. We look forward to having her come again!”
“Vicki was amazing taking care of my two elder guinea pigs while I went out of town. Unfortunately, one of my guinea pigs fell ill right before I left and was left with six various medications. Vicki was great at following instructions, asking questions, and letting me know about any behavioral changes. I was definitely thrown a lot of curveballs, and Vicki handled them like a champ. I would definitely recommend!”

“Asuka is amazing! I received daily texts/photos and concerns re: our pups and home while we were gone. I can definitely trust that my pups are well taken care of with Asuka!”
About: I moved to the area with my little shadow, Winnifred, from Spokane, where I lived on a large ranch working with cattle, horses, pigs, alpacas, working dogs, sheep and all kinds of other interesting critters! I have an abundance of animal experience, especially with large dogs, as I have owned and worked with bloodhounds. I have experience administering medicine, tending to injuries, and handling difficult animals with positive reinforcement. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs, cats, large and exotic animals! My pomchi Winnie is a great girl to have around if you need some socializing experience for your pup! She is sweet and friendly and loves to go on any adventure plus is up to date on all her shots! I am available most days for walks and check-in services from 7am to 9pm! Short notice is usually fine as well and I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed. I have several animals, including an aquarium and snake, which take careful monitoring to provide the correct environment. I take that same care into how I look after all my animals. I worked at a vet for several years and am aware of signs of sickness, anxiety, and joy.
“Andrielle did an amazing job taking care of Cleo, as well as bringing in mail & deliveries & watering plants! Cleo was happy when I got home which says a lot about being taken care of by someone new. I highly recommend Andrielle!”

I’d definitely recommend Catherine. We went on a long vacation to Europe and had Catherine drop in on our two cats every day. She looked after them so well, they are throughly spoilt and my anxious boy didn’t show any outward signs of being overly anxious (he has pulled his back fur out during previous trips. We will definitely be contacting Catherine when we atr looking for cat care in the future
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lafayette on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 6,194 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
