About: Friend of all doggos. I've recently had 2 Italian Greyhounds - Lu (17) and Gelato (15) that were my best buds. Always looking to make friends with new pups. I work during the day, but am available weekday evenings. I’m also available all day during the weekends and most holidays. I had 2 Italian Greyhounds for a span of 18 years and can’t wait to meet your pup(s). I can come to your place for walks and visits. I don’t currently have plans to sit for other pets in my own home as I’m in the process of renovating.
“Charissa gave each of my pups the personalized attention they needed. She kept my high energy pup happy with some fetch and coaxed my shy little one out of her shell for some fresh air, sniff-abouts and TLC. Thank you Charissa!”
“Laurissa 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!”
About: I was a dog mom for 7 years until my furr love passed away suddenly in July of 2025. She suffered from a heart condition and kidney disease, although very active and healthy otherwise. I personalized her diet and supported her with supplements and herbs to keep her comfortable for the time we had together. Over the years, I cared for senior dogs with special needs as well as puppies and cats. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and I am happy to provide overnight care in your home. Reach out if you have questions or need references! I am trying out this app for the first time and hoping to make this a regular thing while I prepare for nursing school (starting pre-requisites next year!) Pet care is the center of my life right now! I am available to walk your pup up to 3 times a day! I can check on your cat or dog if you need me to stop by and snuggle them! Let me know what you need. In your home, I will tend to your furr baby by playing fetch, lots of pets, snuggles, and walks. I also enjoy training them with treats! Happy to help young pups with leash training and potty training!
“Martyna did a great job! She was punctual, communicative, and gave my pets lots of love while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and photos. We came home to happy pets, and it was clear they had been in great hands! Looking forward to having Martyna watch our pets again.”
“Jessica did an amazing job. Super conscientious and her updates with videos made me so happy and set my mind at ease. We highly recommend her, especially for cat sitting!”
“Kendra is so sweet and amazing with Oliver! Our little puppy is only 3 months and is super shy with people and other dogs but he got pretty comfortable with her really quick. So thankful for you Kendra! Will definitely be using you in the future.”
About: I have 36 continuous years of personal experience caring for, handling, and living with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Over nearly four decades, I have successfully managed everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs requiring special patience and medication schedules. My deep familiarity with canine behavior allows me to read a dog's body language quickly, keep environments calm, and handle unexpected situations with total confidence. I specialize in providing structured, loving care that makes dogs feel safe and relaxed right away. I work from home, which means pet care is seamlessly integrated into my entire day. Because I am always home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. My daily routine is highly flexible, allowing for constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention whenever a dog needs it. I schedule regular play breaks in the yard and structured walks around the lake throughout the day, ensuring that your pet maintains a consistent routine that closely mirrors the comfort and attention they receive at their own home. Safety is my absolute highest priority. My home features a large, fully fenced, and secure backyard equipped with an extra-large doggie door, allowing dogs independent and seamless yard access. I have a very friendly, social 6-year-old Labrador who serves as an excellent playmate and co-host for guest dogs. To ensure a safe environment for everyone, I strictly host dogs that are fully potty-trained, non-destructive, and socialized. I also require a mandatory 15-minute meet-and-greet on neutral ground before booking to guarantee a perfect fit.
About: 😸 Hi, please call me Ollie! 😸 ❤️🌱 My goal as a pet sitter is to adapt to your needs — communication, pictures, tailored care, the works! The services I provide will give you peace of mind to take that trip, get lots of work done, or just go about your life 🌱❤️ 🐾 My dog, Tyson, has been in my life for over twelve years now. Seeing his health flourish even while entering his senior years has solidified what true care of an animal can accomplish. Equally, my two kitties that have now crossed the rainbow bridge, Chata and Cleo, have provided me with an upbringing of consistent and loving cat care. I will put as much love and effort into your pet as I do into mine! 🐾 📚🎓 As a Psychology student at SNHU who is on track to become a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have studied in a field that values observation, insight, and empathy above all else. While your pet may not be able to have a conversation with me in so many words, I know they will tell me in their own way! By diving into their world (and yours), I feel confident in creating a unique bond and experience for each family! 🎓📚 😸Hi, please call me Ollie!😸 🥳✏️I am currently studying fully online, so my schedule is very flexible. For all-day or overnight stays, I have a 3-hour policy to tend to my personal everyday needs, such as appointments or errands. I can split this time up into smaller increments if your pet needs consistent company. I’m a non-smoker who enjoys creating both a calm and playful environment. As for dog walking, and knowing Colorado weather, I provide about a 30 min walk in the morning and the evening to stay safe from the heat. I’m open to extended stay and constant care. ✏️🥳 🏃♀️➡️My services are best suited for low-to-medium energy pets. I offer unlimited play and two 30-minute walks per day, but I do not offer hikes or runs.🏃♀️➡️ 🫀⛑️ I prioritize safety above all else. I am a nonsmoker, and I generally don’t consume alcohol (never while working). I don’t own any weapons. I feel comfortable acting quickly in an emergency and staying alert to anything that may become dangerous (stove, oven, electrical sockets, locking doors). As a former medical assistant, I am also comfortable with medical needs of pets. 🫀⛑️ 🤞 I’m always conscious of body language, signs of discomfort or pain, and the personal boundaries and comfort of each pet. I’m committed to maintaining the privacy and security of clients — no guests unless specifically allowed, no sharing of personal information. 🤞
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Back home in Turkey, I had my own pets, I took care of my friends pets while they were on vacation. I regularly looked after stray cats and dogs; feeding them, giving them water, and making sure they felt safe. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and treating them with love and patience as if they were my own♥️ i'm currently working as a teacher during the weekdays 7:30am to 4:30pm i would love to fill out the rest of my time with spending time with pets!! i am fully available weekends as long as i'm not working, i will try to fit into your and your pets schedule. you can tell me what are your pets needs and what they love, i will always try to show up with them happily
About: I have had dogs and cats while growing up on a farm. Most recently I had two heelers. I would be happy to take care of your pet. I have a full time job so I'm doing this part time. Right now I am working remotely so I will have plenty of time to care for and interact with your pet. I live in a small condo with an unfenced outdoor space and a lake nearby. I am reliable and would be happy to drop in to check on your pets or house/pet sit while you're away. Please let me know if your pet has any health or behavior issues which need special attention.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember. I understand that all pets have different needs and routines, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I am working as a hairstylist in Louisville, and my schedule allows for lots of flexibility during weekdays to give your pups lots of attention! I always follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s routine, and provide a calm, loving environment while they’re in my care. Although I don’t offer boarding in my home, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.
“Sara did amazing with my cat! She did drop in visits to administer oral and topical medication and had no problems. I also got an update picture from her every day and she communicated amazingly! I would definitely book again :)”
“Sarah C went above & beyond with our senior cat. She sent daily videos, pictures and updates. Our cat bonded with her and she is very picky about who she trusts. I feel very confident recommending Sarah and we will use her services again. Thank you, Sarah!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
Mackenzie is a fantastic pet sitter. We had some travel troubles and she was so kind to stop by for an extra drop in when we were struggling to get back home. She provided excellent care for our cats and dog, and peace of mind that our pets were safe while we were away.
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.
Danielle was great with Rumi! She was very responsive and spent quality time during our meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Rumi is a senior dog, and Danielle was very caring and attentive to his needs. She was also flexible with timing, which made everything easy. I felt very comfortable having her care for Rumi and would absolutely book with her again.
Mia was fantastic with our pets! We have two dogs and a cat, so our house can be pretty chaotic. Mia took all of our eccentric, particular instructions in stride and did great. One of our pups in particular can be pretty difficult, and Mia was so great with him that he didn’t even bark at her—not many new folks can win him over like this! I highly recommend Mia for your pet care!
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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lafayette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lafayette with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
