âSarah is an amazing sitter! She took care of our two cats for the 2 weeks we were out and did an amazing job communicating and in general making sure they were ok. We came home to happy kitties!â

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet when you canât be there. I have my own dog, Kermit, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is getting plenty of attention and is in good hands. I offer dependable, attentive drop-in visits so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, Iâll make sure your pet gets exactly what they needâwhether thatâs a potty break, feeding and fresh water, playtime, a walk, or simply some extra love and companionship. I also understand that every pet has a different personality. Some are ready to greet you at the door, while others need a little time and patience before they feel comfortable. Iâm happy to follow your petâs routine and let them set the pace. Iâll send photos and an update after every visit so you know how your pet is doing. Iâm responsible, dependable, and respectful of your home, and Iâll care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for Kermit. After recently retiring from a long career as an executive, I finally have the time and flexibility to pursue something I truly enjoyâspending time with and caring for animals. Iâm a lifelong animal lover and have my own dog, Kermit, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. Theyâre family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing theyâre getting plenty of attention, affection, and care while youâre away. I offer drop-in visits for both dogs and cats and am happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet happiest. That might mean a potty break, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, a walk, or simply sitting together and giving them some company and affection. Iâm also patient with shy or cautious pets and will give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. Iâm dependable, organized, and respectful of your home, but most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and their unique personality. Iâll send photos and updates after every visit so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to become someone both you and your pet are happy to see again! I believe the best care starts with keeping your petâs normal routine as consistent as possible. During drop-in visits, Iâll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, medications if needed, potty breaks or litter box care, playtime, walks, and lots of attention and affection. Iâll take the time to get to know your pet and what makes them comfortable. Some pets want lots of play and cuddles, while others prefer quiet companionship or need a little extra time to warm up to someone new. Iâm happy to let your pet set the pace. Iâll also make sure your home is secure before I leave and send you photos and an update after each visit. As a pet owner myself, I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well while youâre away.
âSara took wonderful care of our cats! She went above and beyond to make friends with our cat who is weary of strangers. She was communicative, prompt, and extremely kind! Will definitely be using her again for future cat sitting.â

âMia did an excellent job caring for my cat while I was away! On this particular trip, he had hurt himself and needed extra attention and care. Mia was so great about keeping him comfortable and was very communicative with me throughout the whole process.â


âLaurissa was the perfect sitter for our cat while we were away for a long weekend! From the moment of our meet and greet, it was clear she would be very comfortable playing with Jabba and even holding him to give all the love and attention he craves. Her updates and photos were much appreciated and when we returned home, everything was clearly secure and Jabba was happy. Definitely recommend!â

âJohana took wonderful care of Coconut! She was always on time, which helped keep his routine consistent, and she followed all of our instructions. She sent adorable photos and kept us updated whenever there was something to share, giving us peace of mind while we were away. She is reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring. We wouldnât hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her!â

About: Hi there! Iâm excited to welcome your pup into our home! I work full-time Monday through Friday as an environmental consultant, and I offer weekend boarding (FridayâSunday) and weekend house sitting. My partner, Cait, and I share a love for animals and enjoy providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a cozy, pet-free and kid-free condo, making our home a great option for dogs who thrive in a quieter, more relaxed setting. We also lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors! Whether your pup enjoys long walks, exploring new places, or tagging along on adventures, weâd love to include them whenever appropriate. A little about our availability: I primarily offer boarding Friday through Sunday. For Friday morning drop-offs, Cait is available to come home during her lunch break for a potty break, and Iâll be home after 5pm to spend the rest of the weekend with your pup. Our goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing theyâre being cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. We look forward to meeting you! đśâ¤ď¸ I mainly offer weekend boarding or house-sitting to make sure your pets have plenty of care and attention throughout their stay. Our weekends are flexible, allowing us to tailor our routine to each dog's individual needs. Safety and trust are my top values, and I donât take it lightly when someone entrusts me with a pet who is so special and important to them. I care for them, like they were my own. I maintain a clean, secure environment and supervise pets closely while theyâre in my care. Iâm attentive to behavior cues, comfort levels, and any signs of stress, and I adjust care as needed. I communicate openly and consistently with owners so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.

About: Iâve grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat, so Iâm very comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities and needs. Iâm experienced with feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and reading animal behavior. Iâm happy to go on walks, take dogs to the park for exercise and socialization, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while youâre away. Iâm also open to caring for other types of animals and can provide those services at my cat care rate. My daily routine revolves around being a stay-at-home mom to my two children and our animals. Most of my days are spent at home playing with my daughter while my son is at preschool, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for other pets. Iâm looking to fill that time doing something I loveâtaking care of animalsâwhile earning a little extra fun money on the side. I treat every home and pet like theyâre my own. I stick to your petâs usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and stress-free, and I make sure they get lots of love, attention, and playtime. Iâm very respectful of your space and keep everything clean and in order. I also love sending updates and pictures, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
About: Hi, Iâm Ashlynn! Iâve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and Iâve had cats of my own for over 10 years. I also adore dogs and have spent lots of time caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether itâs curling up for a cozy cuddle session or heading out for a walk, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know what makes each one unique. I believe every pet deserves love, patience, and attention - and thatâs exactly what I bring to every visit. Iâd be honored to care for your furry family member like one of my own! I work a full time job during the week but am able to work from home on Fridays and am available most weekends! Iâm more than happy to fit in weekend check ins or walks to my current schedule. I provide loving, dependable care for dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home - where they feel most secure and at ease. I follow your petâs regular routine, including feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection tailored to their personality. Iâm experienced with pets of all ages and always take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while youâre away.
âHeidi was great with our babies and sent us regular updates while we were away! She even stayed a little later since our flight was moved. Will definitely use her again!â

âAlisha provided superior communication with daily check-ins, attention to detail, and determination in getting 4 cats with very different personalities to interact with her. She handled our recent tripod kitty especially well. Our home was left in excellent condition and our plants were also well cared for.Even before the sit, Alisha agreed to come over twice so that we could update her on our tripod kittyâs recovery and progress. And she even stayed longer than we asked upon our return, making sure that our plane had touched down before she wrapped up and left. Highly recommend!!!â

About: I believe having a pet in your life truly changes you and the person you are. Pets are a beautiful thing that god has given us I am free 4 days out of the week and have my own fur baby, I would love puppy play dates but if not then I am available either ways I have a big fenced yard and lots of treats, if youâd prefer to keep your animal at home I would prefer that too. Unfamiliarity can be overwhelming, Iâm very calm in difficult situations. I strive to help whenever I can whether itâs house chores or pet sitting I can do both to save you the time
About: I have had animals in my life since I was little and have been taking care of many animals for about 12 years. I love connecting with new furry friends and am willing to do any extra chores/activities with the animals as needed :) I work part time and am currently finishing up my undergrad. I usually work evenings so have plenty of time for activities in the day (and after work) as well as making sure to be around to hangout while doing school work, etc. I am also happy to stay at your house overnight, or not! Whatever is preferred. I can help mimic a similar home life while with your pet and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Again, very flexible on how often I am needed to be at the house!
About: I have worked with animals both in a personal capacity and professional, and take the care of any animals seriously. As a former pet store manager, I was required to know the details of all animal care and services, including training and recognizing behavior. I have 3 cats of my own and work with dogs every single day. When Iâm not walking dogs, Iâm a certified trainer at PetSmart! While I don't offer private training outside of PetSmart, I am an experienced dog handler. I have plenty of time outside of work to help care for others animals. When I'm not working with pets, I'm writing or spending time with my own pets. I am a respectful house guest and will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own. I appreciate detailed and direct instruction when it comes to specific pet needs and entrance to the home if I am doing a stop in or walk.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
Excellent experience! Alycia was on time, responsive, and reliable. She took excellent care of our senior dog, who has limited mobility and medication needs. Our shy cat loved her too and came out to play and socialize. We are so grateful for her attentive care and would happily book with her again.

Rachael takes wonderful care of our Leo! đâ⏠Heâs always so happy, well rested, and well fed when we return after her visits. She gives great detailed updates and always listens to ours & Leoâs silly requests. âşď¸ We hope to always have her available to visit Leo! â¨

Mackenzie was great- we sincerely appreciated her ability to catsit at the last minute. She was communicative, prompt and thorough. She anticipated needs and let me know of little changes she was noticing in my cats appearance and behavior. I would rebook her in a heartbeat.

Sebastian did a great job taking care of Monty, Minnie, and Artie (dog, dog, cat). Monty had just had a suprise health scare and needed medication and Sebastian took care of him. He was smart and judicious with walk lengths in the extreme heat. We will defiantly call Sebastian again.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lafayette is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
