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!
“Stefanie is the best. She takes great care of my rambunctious 2 frenchies and they adore her. She's very conscientious and prompt and I know my pups are getting attention and being well cared for.”
“Indie was amazing! She took great care of our cat, Teddy, and he absolutely loved her. She sent us wonderful photos and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and tidying up, things we didn’t ask for but really appreciated. We came home to a very happy cat and would absolutely book with Indie again!”
“Kateryna was wonderful with Amos, and we will be booking her again for more check-ins. She is caring and kind with Amos, which is great for the 12.5-year-old little guy who is pretty mellow and low-key.”
About: I worked for 18 months in a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I am comfortable with all ages of pets. I can administer medications. I have experience with reactive dogs. I personally have two senior cats and an 8 year old dog. I have been dogsitting and catsitting for six years. I am a full time student but have a large amount of flexibility between classes and am completely free on the weekends. I will keep my calendar updated. I do not take pets into my home as my dog is reactive, however I am very thoughtful in the homes of others. I am happy to walk familiar routes or try something new with your friend. I will always do a meet and greet before a long time stay to ensure me and the animal can bond. I can work with your schedule.
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.
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 don’t have pets of my own due to family reasons, but I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve walked and cared for large breeds like a Great Dane and a Husky, and sat for smaller dogs like pugs and Frenchies. I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size and always keep your dog’s safety and comfort as the top priority. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me some flexibility. I’m available for walks early in the morning or late afternoon and drop-ins late afternoon on weekdays, and I’m open for longer sits on weekends in the evening. My house is gated and closed off with a yard, so if needed, that’s a secure option for your pet. I’m very interested in dog training and have experience walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, so I stay alert and adjust my approach to keep your pet calm and safe.
“France has been nothing short of incredible! We worked on my pup's schedule together, as I recently started a new job and needed some flexibility. Today, she took him for a walk; seeing him so happy was the best feeling! I highly recommend Frances; her care, communication, and knowledge about her services are outstanding. If you're looking for an excellent dog walker, this is your chance to meet Frances and make your puppy as lucky as mine!”
About: Caring for cats, dogs and horses since I was 15. Worked in emergency veterinary care for 15 years. Not only will I ensure your fur baby is safe but also that they stay on their regular routine. Only working Tuesday-Thursday at the moment so I have plenty of time for your pets needs and ensuring they are well cared for for in your absence I’m a stickler for routines and will absolutely make sure your pets regular feeding & potty schedule is adhered to. I also want to make sure they are comfortable while you’re out.
“Kelly did a fantastic job. I had a last minute request - she was very accommodating and communicative. She even did some puppy crate training as a bonus! We are new to using Rover and I'm grateful Kelly was able to help! I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
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! 🙏🏼 🐶
Hadlee did a wonderful job for us taking care of our dog Bella. She is competent, thoughtful, responsible, and was great with Bella, who is a big, senior dog with some mobility issues and, to be candid, not great with strangers. I would rebook Hadlee without hesitation.
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.
I recently had the pleasure of having Audrey as our pet sitter for our two dogs, Sparta and Colt, and I can't recommend her enough! From the very start, Audrey's professionalism shone through in her communication. She was always prompt and thorough in her responses, making us feel at ease about leaving our pets in her care. During the pet sitting, Audrey took exceptional care of our home and, more importantly, our dogs. Knowing that both Sparta and Colt experience separation anxiety, she went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Audrey kept us updated regularly, sharing photos and messages that allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We felt completely confident that our dogs were in the best hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Audrey.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lafayette stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
