“Valerie is wonderful to work with. She is prompt, reliable and truly loves animals. I felt completely comfortable with her walking our dogs. She asked many questions about them and took time observe their behavior and gave them yummy treats. Would definitely recommend Valerie!”
“Alexis is a wonderful find for our dog family! She walked our dog when I was recovering from an injury, and our dog LOVED her…in fact, when we said Alexis, our pup would Run to the gate to greet her! Alexis is friendly, prompt, and gives great walks!”
“Andy is a lifesaver! She stepped up in a moments notice when our Stella's needs changes. Stella was very well cared for and we got updated photos all the time. You'd be very lucky to use Andy. I know we will be again, often, in the future.”
“Allison is a great dog walker. We have a 75 lb, 1.5 year old German Shepherd who needs a lot of patience and persistence to work with, as well as more positive socializing experiences. She has walked him 4 times now, helping him ease into being with a new person without us and reinforcing his training. She’s very patient with him at the start of walks (the hardest part). She also always sends great reports of how he did after and takes adorable photos, which we appreciate. She is a great listener and was patient with us as well, and the overall process of getting our dog comfortable and reducing stress. We trust her with our dog to do a great job walking him, which is huge! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or a nervous rescue, I care for every pet with patience, love, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I pride myself on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pets feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. Whether you need daily walks, overnight care, or just someone to keep your furry friend company, I’m here to help — with experience, kindness, and plenty of belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I create a calm, familiar environment so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax, play, and enjoy lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce them to the space and tailor everything to their individual needs — whether that means quiet corners, slow-paced walks, or plenty of playtime. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
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.

I also have a dog and cat of my own! I work in education, and have the summer off, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have a very flexible schedule. I am only available to care for pets in your home and dog walking in your neighborhood. I would also be open to taking your pet on an outing, such as a park if requested.
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!

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: I grew up in a home full of animals — usually three dogs and a cat (or more) at any given time — and my family often fostered rescues. Over the years I’ve also volunteered at multiple animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with the day-to-day essentials like feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning and giving basic medications. Above all, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do — keeping pets happy, calm, and cared for while their people are away. I currently have open availability and am hoping to meet some new best friends. I really look forward to meeting you and your fur family. I follow your guidelines in addition to my knowledge of safety from 20+ years of pet ownership and care experience. I am keen on observation and communication to ensure everyone is comfortable during your time away.
“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends dogs for decades. I’m extra fond of those medium- big dogs & especially old dogs! Let me brighten your dogs day with a visit while your away. I’m now a semi-retired scientist, spending my time between art making & dog walking/sitting. I have nothing but time to spend with your special friend. At this time I do not offer any dog sitting in my home. I do hope to offer this service in the near future however.
About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!
“We love Kelly! Would recommend and have recommended Kelly’s services to friends looking for dog walking or boarding. She’s prompt, communicative, and great with our pup. We have used her services a handful of times and trust her completely.”
About: My golden retriever Bearon lived to be 15.5 years old. He’s large dog, sweet, trustworthy and funny. My Grandmother lived to be 105 always had a dog. Our family takes care animals like they just as important as humans. My availability is asap. Special skills would be to treat your animal like you prefer and make them feel at home. Key factors such as trust, safety and communication. These essential skills are very important to make sure the animal is alright and in good hands. Dogs emulate their owners and how you treat them makes all the difference in the world. Overall dog backwards is god so with that said it’s great meaning and represents a biblical term. Thank god for dogs on our planet I plan my day around my dog. I love to have a routine. That way the dog knows what to expect. For instance food and drink at the same hour. I treat other dogs like my own. We can go inside or outside. I’m very flexible to completely understand them. I think gods are sensitive.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
We have had wonderful experiences working with Kelly. Our dog hasn’t had much exposure to new people and can be a bit nervous around strangers, but she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. She took the time to help our dog feel comfortable, and we were so impressed with how quickly trust developed. She was also extremely communicative, keeping us updated and answering any questions we had, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. In addition, Kelly has been very flexible and willing to help us coordinate dog sitting coverage during an important time for our family. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine care for our dog has truly stood out. We are so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker or pet sitter!

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
