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!
About: Hey everyone!🐾 My name is Niveya and I’m currently a graduate student and basketball player at Saint Mary’s College, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two cats (a tortie and a domestic longhair) and several dogs (from poodles to pitbulls) over the years, so caring for both cats and dogs has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I also volunteered at local dog shelters, which taught me that every animal has a different personality. Some are energetic and playful, while others just need a little patience and time to feel comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I’ve found that animals usually warm up to me because I stay calm and let them adjust at their own pace. Being a student-athlete has made responsibility, reliability, and consistency a huge part of my everyday life. Between balancing graduate school and basketball, I’ve learned how important it is to be dependable and communicate well. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or just sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because of my basketball schedule, I’m typically on campus during weekday mornings and parts of the afternoon, but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos (if you’d like!) so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands😊 I am a student-athlete at Saint Mary’s College, so I am on campus in the mornings and some afternoons for basketball workouts. I keep a structured and dependable routine, which makes me very organized when it comes to caring for pets. I have workouts in some early afternoons but I’m available throughout the late afternoons, evenings, and off all weekends for walks and playtime. I make sure every pet gets regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible! I live in a pet-friendly and fenced-in apartment where I only host up to two pets at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of individual attention. If your pet likes to socialize, I have a roommate and teammates that are pet lovers as well! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines. I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, regular updates with photos (if you want them!) and lots of affection to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Alexis did a wonderful job caring for our kitty. She did everything we asked and we returned to a happy cat and clean house. I've already booked Alexis for more cat sitting over the coming months. I'd recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Excellent service overall. Conscientious, detail-oriented, punctual, resourceful, I could go on. What really matters is how much she cares about our animals. Gives me so much comfort.”
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.
About: Hi! I grew up in a dog breeding business and since I was 7, was given the responsibility of taking care of the puppies and dogs alongside other family members. Since then I’ve dog-sat for neighboring families every once in a while. I am very available up until 08/20. I have lots of time right now, but I am also looking for a summer part-time job. There are nearby parks where I live and a high-fenced backyard. When staying at a client's home, I strictly follow their specific security routines to keep their pets safe and happy.
“Allison did an amazing job! She sent amazing, high quality photos of both my kitties along with detailed updates. She was great during our meet and greet and I definitely felt like she was smart, conscientious and super trustworthy. Definitely hire her for pet sitting!”
“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!”
“Brandi was sent from heaven to help us take care of Shasta - we will be booking her again the next time we need help, and if you’re reading this, you should too. She was very patient with Shasta’s hesitation around a new person taking her for walks, beyond accommodating to our schedules, and just the best person we could have had looking after our little pup.”
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 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!”
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.
“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!”

“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!”

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.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely caring—not only with my dog but with me as well. I truly feel like I found the right person to look after my dog whenever I travel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and exceptionally sweet.
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.
We felt great having Ava look after our 2 dogs while we were away from home for a week. She was great to communicate with (fast and friendly!) and followed all the instructions we left for her. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Ava again or to recommend her to anyone looking for drop-in visits.
Michael did an amazing job walking our German Shepherd, Targa, who’s very energetic and tends to overreact. He handled him with great control, responsibility, and professionalism, while showing genuine care. Targa had a great time, and I felt completely at ease knowing my boy was in the best hands🙏🏼

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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
