“Cole is definitely the dog man! It was love at first sight for our pup Jack. He enjoyed his walks with Cole and got the exercise he needed. Very friendly, great communication and value. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“We have been working with Riley for quite a while now, and she continues to consistently deliver the best care for our pupper. She is an excellent communicator, great with our dog, and is always accommodating/flexible. We wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else more! ☺️”
“Sebastian was fantastic with my boy!! Sanders absolutely loves him, and comes home from every walk happy and tired. I had never had to use a dog walker before but Sebastian made me feel completely comfortable and confident he was in good hands. Sanders and I will happily request his help for future walks anytime!”
About: I have been taking care of various size/breed dogs for over 20 years. I only have roughly 5 years experience with cats, but I am comfortable taking care of them. I’m currently a stay at home dad, but my youngest just started preschool 2 days per week so I have some extra time. I have 2 dogs at home. Monday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday is my current availability. I have a fenced yard with 2 dogs at home. One 10lb dachshund/chihuahua mix, and one 80lb Bernese/Anatolian mix. They are both friendly with other dogs.
About: I love animals, and I have always grown up around them. I take pride in creating safe and loving environments for every animal. I am safety oriented, reliable, and affectionate with every animal I care for. I have been taking care of animals for five years. I am currently a college student home for the sunmer, I have an open schedule as of now and I am open to any options. To me the most important thing when I go away on a trip is making sure my dog is taken care of, is safe and loved. I make sure I provide the same care to every animal I care for as I would expect my animals to receive when I go away. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to caring for animals. I am very tentative whether it is making sure the dogs or cat don’t run out of the front door, making sure they are safe on their walks, and always making sure they have clean water and food at the times they are expected to eat. I am a very caring and loving person especially with animals and I would love to take care of your animals so you have no worries when you go on trips!
“Our high energy pup had a great walk with Tannen! We appreciated how Tannen was patient with Dexter and used positive reinforcement on his training walk. Dexter is excited to walk with Tannen again soon!”
“Nicole once again was amazing! She came to do dog walking for our two wild pups and she was amazing. She was able to take the walk on somewhat short notice. She sent photos and updates and we never worried a single second about our babies! We would highly recommend Nicole! She loves your animals like her own.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals from dogs and cats to chinchillas and lizards. I love taking care of all creatures (even the ones others don’t). Currently I have my own dog, a chinchilla, a chameleon, bearded dragons, and a snake. I have daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for all of them. I have an older pup (she is 21). She gets along with other dogs and likes to play. I also occasionally watch my parent’s dog who is 5. I can separate animals if needed as well. I have a garage, yard, and multiple floors
About: Taking care of and training my dogs has been a vital part of my growing up and there is nothing more fulfilling than gaining the love from animals I am a college student home for the summer and have nothing but time to take care of other’s furry loved ones, my availability is open to the needs of the animals I have had dogs my whole life which has made me very aware of what is safe and not safe for dogs, I am also very good at following the directions from the owners of animals as they know what is best for their pets and what is normal and not normal. Many animals also have routines they follow and I believe following those routines helps keep a normalcy for when they are out of their normal.
“Chelsea is very knowledgeable about dogs, and shared her knowledge on her 1st walk with Zingo. She is also open to suggestions and helps to keep his training consistant.”
About: I’m an experienced, reliable pet sitter specializing in drop-ins and neighborhood walks for dogs and cats. I have 20+ years of experience with pets of all ages, including seniors, shy pets, and special-needs companions. I’m comfortable with medication, daily exercise, litter care, and keeping routines consistent so pets feel safe and cared for. I respond quickly, send photo updates through Rover Cards, and communicate clearly so you always know how your pet is doing. I keep my calendar updated regularly and adjust my pricing as I move from place to place. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I structure my schedule around consistent visits, feeding times, medication, litter care, and one-on-one attention. That helps me stay flexible, dependable, and attentive so pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets in their own homes and during drop-in visits by keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. That includes feeding, fresh water, litter care, medication if needed, playtime, and calm companionship. I also send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Thanks Tara for helping me out at the last minute. Dogs were fed and walked plus a little cuddle time. Tara was not intimidated by Jack our hunting dog. He can be a handful but Tara approached him with great confidence. Everything was great.”
“If you want the best dog walker, don't look any further. Dan is by far the best dog walker. He is kind to Bella, provides the best care, and was willing to add me to his schedule during the holiday season when I got sick.”
“Kelly is amazing! I had been looking for a long-term relationship to help with my dog since it’s just me, her, and a townhouse with no dog door. I was going out in the evening for a while and wanted to be able to stay longer, so it promoted me to reach out to Kelly. She came over for a meet and greet 1 hour after we chatted and we scheduled a walk for that evening. I feel totally safe and trust Kelly because she’s extremely professional and empathizes with me. I gave her the combo to my door and feel totally comfortable! She’s a clear dog lover and I’m so glad to found her for my dog. And me :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lafayette on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lafayette.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
