“We were extremely pleased with Lila's exceptional care for our two cats while we were away. From thorough communication to professional conduct, she demonstrated genuine love for both cats. She dropped by twice each day to feed and play with them (providing photos and detailed notes during each visit), and they both warmed up to her quickly. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and are grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our trip. She went above and beyond with her care, and we will absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter to come do check-ins on our dog and bunny. Our dog is very protective of her environment, but Jessica was not scared off! She came and checked in on our animals twice a day over the Thanksgiving weekend, making sure they went potty and that they always had enough food and water. The best thing was that she sent pictures and videos of our animals during her visits, which my daughter looked forward to receiving every day! Also, she brought in our mail and turned lights on/off around the house on a rotation so it would look like we were home. We would definitely use Jessica again; she's a very solid and trustworthy person, and she is knowledgeable and compassionate toward animals! Great to work with! :-)”

About: For most of my life, I have been a dog mom, and I understand how crucial it is to know that your dogs are well cared for while you're gone. I'm here to assist you. After retiring from my corporate job, I've decided to follow my passion for animals. I have spent over a decade caring for the dogs of friends and neighbors. I am certified in animal massage and have been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley since 2016. I can't wait to meet you and enjoy some wonderful time with your four-legged companion! I have availability during the week and weekend to engage with your dog. This can be walks or a hike during the day, a playdate with my dogs, a basic training session, or just 1:1 cuddle time hanging out on the sofa watching our favorite show. The safety and well-being of your dog is top priority! We will find what works best for you and your dog. It can be a walk, engagement, basic training, canine massage, a play date, snuggle time...whatever meets your dogs needs that day.
About: I trained my dog, Brady, to be off-leash and a great friend. I can help puppies with simple training while on leash or assist your older dogs with patient sniff walks. I work full time from home, but want to help neighbors who cannot always be home. I am available to assist in the afternoon before you come home from work or later in the evening if you decide to have dinner later than expected. I am respectful of your rules and will always be on time. Your pets needs are my concern. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and pace, making sure they feel safe, seen, and relaxed on every walk. With gentle handling, consistent routines, and plenty of praise, I build trust through calm energy and attentive care, just like you would.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life with my family, and happily care for them still. I’ve even volunteered at the Boulder Humane Society to provide extra care to those who need it most in my community. I’m a recent graduate on summer break with another job where my availability varies. I start up school in the fall and will have weekends and some time after classes to care for your pets! I’ve always had dogs on the bigger side and am not scared to crate a dog if needed. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs and cats and always aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them!
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
“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!”

“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!”

“Emily has been walking our 10 year old pup daily for 6 weeks or so. She is reliable, communicative, and thorough. She has followed through with everything I asked and she’s a big help to us. Thank you for taking such good care of our Stella!”

About: I have over 10 years of personal experience caring for my own cat, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding animals’ individual personalities. In addition to feline care, I’ve also looked after guinea pigs during spring break, ensuring they had a clean habitat, fresh veggies, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ve cared for dogs belonging to family friends, helping with feeding, walks, and playtime, always making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I’ve also had the opportunity to watch over a variety of pets for a few hours at a time, adapting quickly to their needs and routines. No matter the species, I approach every pet with kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. I’m currently enrolled in online college courses, which gives me the flexibility to create a balanced and adaptable schedule. Since my classes are self-paced and remote, I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Typical Daily Routine: • Morning (8am–11am): Morning walks, feedings, litter box cleanings, or drop-in visits • Midday (11am–3pm): Pet sitting, extended playtime, companionship, or check-ins (can adjust as needed) • Afternoon/Evening (3pm–8pm): Walks, dinner feeding, medication (if needed), or overnight care setups • Night (8pm onward): Available for overnight care, evening check-ins, or late-night drop-ins (on request) Weekly Flexibility: I’m available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs—whether it’s a one-time drop-in, recurring walks, weekend sitting, or extended stays. My online classes allow me to stay local and dependable all summer long. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety always come first. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits smoothly into both of our routines. Why You Can Trust Me with Your Pet As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own cat, as well as looking after dogs, guinea pigs, and a variety of other pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your furry family member. Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in yours, I make safety, comfort, and reliability my top priorities. In Your Home: When I pet sit in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and choose safe walking routes based on your dog’s size, energy level, and comfort. I take the time to build trust with each dog, making sure every walk is not just good exercise but also a positive experience. However, I own a cat who doesn’t like strangers or strange animal that come in her home With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. You can trust that they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for—whether it’s for an afternoon walk or a week-long stay.
“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 :)”

“Melissa was fantastic with Rosie and lovely to communicate with! I really appreciate her flexibility with our travel schedule changing and how much she loved our baby. Looking forward to booking again :)”


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.

“Juan was a pleasure to work with for my short 2 day trip. Punctual, communicative, respectful and all around a nice man. I believe my dog Max enjoyed his care. Definitely will call on him again; I highly recommend him. I am happy to have met him through Rover!”

“Delane took great care of Chewy! We sent through a super last minute request for Christmas week and she was very gracious and communicative throughout the whole process 🙌”

About: I always loved dogs, but growing up my parents would never let us get any. This led to me dog sitting and walking numerous neighborhood dogs from around 12 years old. Through the years, I've gotten a few dogs of my own and they are a handful, but I can't imagine life without them. The most recent addition, Toast the husky, has been a great lesson in the importance of consistent exercise and patient training, and this has carried through positively into our other dogs as well. I've also handled housetraining for multiple dogs now. Every day we do some sort of exercise with at least the husky. The other 2 are a little older so they don't go every single time, but the husky requires daily exercise, either to the park (which we go to regularly as it is less than 5 minutes away) or on a nice walk or hike. The happiest my dogs ever seem is when they are out on adventures with us, so I try to make that happen as much as possible. I have a 6ft high fenced-in yard. My wife and I work from home so we are always present and can let the dogs out regularly, on any schedule required. Our 3 dogs are very social with dogs outside, do great with other dogs in the house, and have been housetrained since they were puppies.

About: HELLO!!! My name is Sarah, and I would absolutely love to care for your fur babies!! Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Since I was a little girl, I’ve had a deep love for animals of all kinds (including a few “wild” neighborhood friendships that my parents didn’t always approve of 😊). From dogs and chickens to squirrels and everything in between, I’ve always felt most at home around animals. That lifelong passion has grown into a genuine commitment to giving pets the love, safety, and attention they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for pets with unique needs. My dog Gus was paralyzed from the waist down for most of his life, and my dog Ronnie was half blind with several health challenges. Because of this, I’m very experienced and comfortable caring for disabled, senior, or medically complex pets. I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require—and I’m here to provide exactly that. If your pet needs specialized care, you can feel confident they’ll be in compassionate, capable hands. I offer a range of services including overnight stays, drop-in visits, and support with puppy routines and training. Whether you need consistent care or occasional help, I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs and your schedule. I’m based in the greater Boulder County area and live with my partner, our dog Sydney, and our two beautiful ducks, Trudy and Winnie—so our home is full of love for animals of all kinds!!! 🦆🪿 My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m both an early riser and a night owl, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. 🥰 Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important routines, trust, and communication are—especially for pets who need extra care. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and will always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to connect. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! ❤️ My schedule is currently wide open, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies throughout the day! I'm an early riser, and a late bed time goer - So my availability is wide open for your pet needs. :) I take care of other peoples' pets with the same love and care that I give my own at home. If there is a specific routine that your pet needs to be followed, just let me know - I understand the need for specific schedules and routines, especially for handicapped/disabled little ones! So I will go above and beyond to make sure your babies are comfortable, loved and well taken care of!

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
