“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Lincoln and Kinzie are always in great hands with Meghan and Hakon! We get lots of updates and the pups are loved on so much. Could not recommend them more to make your pup feel like part of the family and we will definitely reach out to them for another stay.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Demi! We picked up our pups after our trip, and they were both so happy and clearly so well cared for! Demi sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We loved seeing them play outside, snuggling, and spending time together! It was clear that Demi genuinely cared for both of them and made sure they each got the love and attention they needed. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our pups and would absolutely book with Demi again!”
“Simba loves staying here! His second time over with Karla and her family and he was super excited when he was dropped off. We got amazing pictures and updates which is important to me as a helicopter dog mom that has separation anxiety 😂. His favorite activity is fetch and we can definitely tell he kept them busy. We picked him up hours ago and he is still in a coma like sleep from playing in their huge yard for 5 days!! Definitely the best rover in the area.”
“Melissa was available at the last minute and incredibly flexible with our travel plans. Our 5 month old puppy loved playtime in her yard and came home a tired, happy pup!”
“Kelly and her husband love dogs and that is obvious as soon as you meet them. My pug was smiling ear to ear at their house. He slept on the bed and had plenty of love. I'll be using Kelly again.”
“Megan was a wonderful sitter for Diesel! I had complete faith in her with her experience and reputation over the years. He had a great time and I could tell he was stress free when he got home. She was flexible and sent photos / videos daily to make sure we were knew how he was doing. Thank you again - Julie”
“Susan took wonderful care of my puppy leelah! Susan and her family welcomed leelah into her home and gave her the extra TLC required for a puppy and made me feel so comfortable! I traveled from far away and needed the right fit for a couple days and Susan put me at ease, so trustworthy and kind and caring. Thank you again!”
“Kimberly was great to work with. She took excellent care of our boy and sent us multiple pics and updates everyday. We are very comfortable entrusting Koda to her anytime we need to travel without him.”
“Erika was wonderful with Freyja. She walked her multiple times a day, and even let me know of a lump she found under her fur. We had an unexpected delay in our trip and Erika offered to keep watching our girl and even get more food. Will definitely book again!”
“Emily and Hector were absolutely incredible with Gavin. They provided plenty of updates throughout the stay, including photos and videos, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. They were extremely communicative and always checked in with any questions regarding Gavin’s care and comfort, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Gavin came back happy and relaxed, and it’s obvious he loved his time with them. Their dog Lemon is also wonderful and made for a great companion. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend Emily and Hector to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters.”
“Anita took such good care of my pup while I was away! She was attentive and accommodating to his separation anxiety, it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. And I received lots of pictures and updates of him being loved on! I knew he felt safe and happy with her 🙏💕”
“What a wonderful thing to have Alesha & Ben so close by. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with the children and other pets, as well as "hanging out" with Alesha. Their yard is large and completely fenced in with a tall fence, and so there's "no wiggle room" to "explore the neighborhood". Waneka Lake is near their home which is great for getting out to go on walks. He came home a very happy camper! Thanks to Alesha!”
“Val and Nathan were awesome. They literally accepted a request to watch my dog with 12 hr notice! Tons of pictures and updates and thoughtful questions. I highly recommend them!”
About: I have lots of friends with pets. Always asking me to help watch or walk them. I stayed at a friends 3 house days to help I work part time but my schedule is wide open and have the time for your furry friends. I can adjust based on pets need. Very loving and over protective. I love to take my dog on walks every night. Also love to get then the best treats and toys
“I left my German Shepherd, Emmy, for boarding and received lots of pictures and videos of Emmy and Hazel playing together! The big fenced backyard allowed my high energy dog to run around and play with her new friend Hazel. Definitely recommend!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lafayette is $50

Paige is an awesome dog sitter! She took care of my miniature golden doodle Nico for 11 days and did a great job. Nico had a fun time playing with her dog and the neighbor’s dog, as well as getting tons of snuggles with her children. Paige sent lots of pictures and took Nico out every day with her dog for a walk. She has a secure fenced yard and I felt very comfortable leaving Nico with them. This was my first time using Paige and Paul and will definitely use them again. You can tell that Paige loves dogs and knows a lot about them. She was very prompt in responding to all my questions. I highly recommend her and her family to take care of your dog!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Curtis! He takes amazing care of my dog, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in loving hands. Every time I pick her up, she comes home happy, content, and full of the same beautiful spirit and personality she has always had. It is so clear that she is genuinely loved and cared for while she is with Curtis.
We had such a wonderful experience with Demi! We picked up our pups after our trip, and they were both so happy and clearly so well cared for! Demi sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We loved seeing them play outside, snuggling, and spending time together! It was clear that Demi genuinely cared for both of them and made sure they each got the love and attention they needed. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our pups and would absolutely book with Demi again!
We couldn’t be happier with the care rio received while we were away! Valeria welcomed him into her home and treated him like one of her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for\. Her communication was wonderful, and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter and will absolutely use her again.
Charissa was great with Cody during his first stay with her. He was a little more challenging in a new place and with new people, but Charissa’s messages made it all seem like things were going just fine. I appreciated that she did let me know what was happening, but I never felt like she couldn’t handle it. Loved all the photos she sent and would definitely use her again (if she’ll have Cody)!
My girls had a BLAST at Robyn’s house! Robyn is very kind and loving to my dogs, her dog was also very friendly and playful. I was able to leave for the weekend without worrying about my girls because I knew they were in good hands. They got to learn a new skill of using a doggy door ! And got to enjoy a spacious and safe fenced in backyard while I was away. We will definitely book with Robyn again
Jessica and her family were amazing with my dog Maverick! I was nervous to leave him for an extended stay, but I was always provided with updates and pictures and he was so well taken care of. Jessica stayed on top of all of his medications and handled his medical needs with lots of attention and care. I would definitely let Maverick stay again and would recommend her to anyone!
Cole has watched Scout before, and Scout adores him. This stay was 10 nights while we were overseas, and Cole couldn't have been more flexible. He adjusted dates with us more than once and even picked Scout up from a kennel himself when our plans changed mid-trip. We got photos and updates almost every day, he handled Scout's daily medication, and he celebrated Scout's 6th birthday with a pup cup. Scout picks up everything on walks (it's happened to us before too), and when he ate something potentially toxic off the ground, Cole had him at the emergency vet that evening and kept us posted that night and the next morning. Scout was back to normal the next day. He even waited up for a 9 pm pickup after our international flight. Calm, reliable, and he genuinely loves dogs. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lafayette is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lafayette can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lafayette home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lafayette.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Lafayette sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
