“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”
“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
“Communicative and reliable! Did great handling our rather complicated dog! Was able to take her on walks even though she can have behavioral issues and gave her meds without issue! Great trustworthy drop in sitter, would love to use his services again!”
“Chelsea has been very patient with my dog, who has been a bit nervous after being bitten by a dog. She gently encourages him to do things that he wouldn't otherwise do. Thank you Chelsea!”
“Jessica took great care of our two cats. One is usually very shy, but came out and visited with her while she was caring for them—which is pretty rare! We will definitely use her services again! Thanks, Jessica!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals from dogs and cats to chinchillas and lizards. I love taking care of all creatures (even the ones others don’t). Currently I have my own dog, a chinchilla, a chameleon, bearded dragons, and a snake. I have daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for all of them. I have an older pup (she is 21). She gets along with other dogs and likes to play. I also occasionally watch my parent’s dog who is 5. I can separate animals if needed as well. I have a garage, yard, and multiple floors
“Mia was great about coming to let my dogs out and feed them when my drive home was severely delayed last minute! It was a huge relief to know they were taken care of and to get some cute photos of them!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on full-day or overnight pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.
“Anna went above and beyond to make sure our two kitties were taken care of. She was able to get them to open up to her even though they are not very social. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely shy and it did take a few days for him to show his face. but by the end he was letting Nicole pet him, and frankly I was shocked. Nicole provided daily updates, was very professional, and made us feel at ease leaving our little guys at home.”
“Kendra was wonderful. Took great care of our dog and our house. Timely followed through and was very loving with our camel. We will definitely use her again. Thank you so much, Kendra.”
“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”
About: I grew up with three cats and eventually got my own kitty (now 6 years old)! While I've been a cat-owner most of my life, at heart, I am a dog lover and can't wait to start that adventure once life allows the time! I’ve enjoyed taking care of dogs for family and friends for years and would love to help out more people nearby. I work 10 hour shifts as a nurse and love to spend my extra time caring for animals. I’m always free on Mondays and am open to weekends for returning customers. I always make sure with any pet I'm caring for that they get the attention, play time and love they need! I make sure they're safe by checking their food/water supply, ensuring doors are secure as intended and of course have proper bathroom breaks - all while ensuring home security too. Safety and living a happy, love-filled life is my top priority for all pets!

Curtis was a fantastic cat sitter. Our normally very skittish cat allowed Curtis to pet him, and waited for him to show up every afternoon. He is attentive, prompt, and trustworthy. We enjoyed the photos he sent everyday, and his helpful updates. We look forward to booking him for all of our upcoming trips
Colleen was excellent with my one year old cat Sunrise. She was very communicative, showed up at the agreed times, took very good care of him, and left the house very clean. My sweet kitty likes to throw cat litter and water from his dish all over! Highly recommend Colleen for taking care of your kitties! She was also very friendly and nice!
Candy was great for checking in on our cat while we were out of town. She kept him company and shared brief descriptions for how he was doing and photos each time which I really appreciated. The house was safely secured and all of Jabba’s food, water and litter were in good condition. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lafayette on Rover is $22.2 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 7,012 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
