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!

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.

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!

About: I specialize in house sitting and overnight pet care, providing consistent, reliable care in your home. I follow routines closely and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful, clean, and organized in clients’ homes, and I always aim to leave things just as I found them. You can trust that your home and your pets are in good hands with me. I naturally incorporate light training and positive reinforcement into daily care, such as: • Reinforcing basic commands • Encouraging good leash manners • Supporting calm, polite behavior My approach is gentle, patient, and tailored to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I also offer drop-in visits for pets who need quick check-ins or daytime care, including: • Potty breaks • Feeding and fresh water • Medication administration • Short walks and playtime • Routine check-ins for dogs and cats Drop-in visits are perfect for busy days, long work hours, or pets who just need a little extra attention. My niche is providing pet care for pet parents who work extensive, non-traditional hours—including night shifts, weekends, holidays, and other irregular schedules. I understand how challenging it can be to find reliable, high-quality care during these times, and I’m here to help ensure your dog receives the love, attention, and exercise they need, no matter your work hours. My company is fully insured and certified in pet first aid. I’m also happy to share GPS location updates while walking or hiking with your fur babies, so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly where we are.

About: I’m attentive and patient with your fur babies. I will spoil them rotten with grooming, loving kindness, plenty of walks, and meals (medication) on time. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your babies. I’m also available for weekends and odd hours if you work at night… I will care for your pets and follow your directions if they have medications or a need for an extra long walk around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, goats, cats, and dogs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also had the rewarding experience of raising a guide dog, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to work with dogs in training. I’m comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and am committed to providing attentive, reliable care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently home from college for the summer so I am available all day for stays and visits. I have a car so I am able to get to your pet whenever you need! I am a very interactive and engaged pet sitter who believes pets are more than just animals, they’re cherished members of the family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means playing fetch, going on walks, grooming, providing enrichment and playtime, or simply keeping them company and giving them plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and capable hands.

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.

Tatiana is the best! She’s so caring and loving to my cats. She is very thorough with her reports of the visit and send pics and videos. Tatiana goes above and beyond by cleaning the cat room, litter boxes, etc. Most of all I feel reassured during my time away that my cats are being well taken care of by Tatiana.

Daria was fantastic and we highly recommend her. We have a large golden who likes to tug on the leash every so often and she was amazing with him. She took him for walk each day sent us photos of each walk. Even took time to brush him and play with him! We could not be happier with Daria.

About: I grew up around animals since I was born, my family always having cats and dogs. I have experience giving medication to cats, doing custom feedings for both dogs and cats as well as walking low maintenance dogs. I am looking to do drop ins for people in need. I work in Walnut Creek from 7-4pm daily with an hour lunch break. I live in Pittsburg. I’m available for drop in visits at 6am. 11:30am and after 4pm. As well as all day on weekends. I am open to short term over night care in the persons home, as my cat doesn’t do well with other animals. I’m looking forward to speaking with you! I currently work 645am-345pm with an hour lunch. I live in Pittsburg and work in Walnut Creek so I am able to travel to different cities if needed. I am not able to board due to having a cat who is not pet friendly. I also live in an apartment not suitable for dogs.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lafayette

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
