Top rated Lafayette dog sitters

“Emily was fabulous for a quick last minute walk with our senior dog and checking in on our kitty. We are very grateful for her and will use again in the future!! Very professional, highly recommend!”


“Bryn did a great job watching our two indoor cats while we were away for a few weeks. She sent texts with updates and pictures, which my daughters loved seeing. When we returned home, we could tell the cats had been well-looked after. They were not stressed nor desperate to be fed. Their food area was tidy and well-stocked. Their water bowls were clean and full. Their kitty litter was also in great shape. We're so grateful for Bryn's attentiveness. Definitely consider hiring her!”



“Lila is fabulous! She is so wonderful and loving with Nori. I truly appreciate everything you did today to make my puppers day. Will definitely ask Lila the next time we need a sitter!!”


About: I grew up with three cats and after college, I eventually got my own little kitty (now 5 years old)! I'm well familiar with dry and wet food servings, automatic feeders, leashes, and fountains. 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 enjoy taking care of dogs for family and friends and would love to help out more people nearby. I work three 12-hour shifts a week as an RN (the days vary), so I'm often available on some weekdays. I'd love to spend my extra time caring for animals. 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!

“Maria did a great job with buddy! She took such great care of him and followed the instructions we put out for her! Buddy really loved spending time with her. Will definitely use her in the future!”


“Bethany was amazing with our cat, Queso. She gave him his heart medicine twice a day while we were away. She also sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. Will totally use her in the future!”


About: Hello, I’m Alex! I’m a single mom of 2 boys (3 and 8) so they will be with me during all pet-care. They love all pets and are great with them as well as extremely gentle. I work from home full-time so would be able to watch your fur babies at my home and give them potty breaks whenever needed. Not only that, but my boys would love to be able to have a friend to play with during the day since they stay home with me. We have lots of experiences with dog and cat care. We would love the opportunity to take care of and love on your sweet pets! I work full-time from home and have 2 sons that stay home with me until school starts. Because of that, we are extremely flexible during the week! We enjoy being out in nature on the weekends, and are open to take your pet along on our adventures! I live in a ground floor apartment with my own entrance on both sides. I do not have a yard, but my apartment complex is pet-friendly and has wonderful trails surrounding it as well as plenty of grassy areas. There is also a park right down the street that we enjoy walking to get often.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and enjoy sharing our house with them. Our family is very friendly- we have three kids, a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a cat who makes herself scarce when she’s had her fill of excitement. Watching other people’s pets helps curb the need to add another puppy and kitty in our home. :) I am currently a stay at home mom with two kids in school and one home with me full time. My schedule is very flexible for availability and drop off/pick up times. We have a large home with a fenced in yard and beautiful trails out our front door. We are able to feed pets separately and follow any dietary requirements.

“Heather took wonderful care of our cat, Tucker, and I would highly recommend her! She was communicative, friendly, and clearly loves every animal like they were her own. She sent the cutest pictures and spent lots of time with him while we were gone on a long trip.”


About: I have trained/taken care of a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, flying squirrels etc for 30+ years. It is a true passion of mine that I do not do for monetary reasons. I have experience from puppy to senior, and have multiple degrees from the world-renowned Kelley school of business. You will not find someone who loves caring for our furry family members more! I am lucky enough to work from home so my schedule is WIDE open! I love caring for my/your animals daily and can do so any day of the week! I am dedicated to providing an extremely stress free, loving, and above all safe environment for all of our animals to enjoy and thrive in!

About: I’m good with all kinds of animals, dog, cat, whatever! Whether or not your little friend is a troublemaker, shy, aggressive, or well-behaved, I know how to handle em all with love, care, and patience. I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12, so I have all the basics down - making it even easier to specialize care for your sweet pet. I’m consistent and reliable. It’s rare that I turn down an opportunity to spend time with animals, I love them so dearly. I work during the week but I have flexible hours. I’m free 24/7 on the weekends. I really enjoy the opportunity to build in animal care into my day! I’m always very gentle and patient. I’m very cognizant of the fact animals can’t help a lot of difficult behaviors, so I tend not to get irritated with them. I can even do some training, I only use positive re-enforcement training methods. I like to go the long mile taking care of animals, I feel like they deserve so much happiness for how much good they bring into our own lives. I love to take dogs on extra long walks than they would usually get, and play until they are all done playing for the day. Same goes for cats!

About: Hello! Tannen here. I have one pup who is very kind and gentle with others. I also had a pup who passed away a few months ago who was dog aggressive, so I have a lot of experience using positive reinforcement on training difficult pups. The experience with him taught me the importance of being gentle, caring, and incredibly patient. I'm currently going to school full time and am home nearly every day of the week. Your pup would fit right in to Kenza and I's schedule with hanging with us around the house, going on walks, and being a part of the family. I have a fenced yard but also am able to walk your pup on walks throughout the day. I shouldn't ever be gone longer than 4 hours away from the house total in a day, and your pup can either free-roam or be crated if you prefer that.

Jewelann A.
“Jewel is one of the most thoughtful and compassionate people I know. Her kindness and attention to detail show up in everything she does—especially when it comes to animals. She treats my dog, Hazel, with the same love, thought, and care as she would her own. She’s always gentle, attentive, and quick to tune into what my dog needs in the moment—whether that’s space, playtime, a walk, or a calm presence. She also has a cat of her own, and the loving, happy environment she’s created for him speaks volumes about how dedicated and responsible she is as a pet owner. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were family, Jewel is exactly who you want!”

Tannen L.Star Sitter
“My name is Evan , I served in the army for 5 years and for almost all of that time I was with Tannen. Caring for animals is one of Tannen’s strong suits, as I watched him give a great life to his two rescue pups who were vastly different animals requiring different levels of care and training, which he gave and more. I have a dog now that I’ve had for 5 years named Molly. I have her because Tannen rescued her off the street and after meeting her I immediately knew she was gonna be a great addition to my family. Without Tannen’s love, care, and willingness to go the extra mile I wouldn’t even have my best friend with me right now ! (She’s laying on my lap as I type this) Tannen also watched her countless times and did a great job every time.”
