“I got suddenly hospitalized in Denver and Cole came to our rescue. He was prompt in communicating, showed up right on time and very helpful with my high energy lab. Thank you Cole!”
“Ollie did an amazing job walking my two dogs while I was at work. They followed instructions to a T, were super communicative, and sent along cute pics. They took care of my resident pittie and our reactive foster dog, handling my complicated instructions just fine. They even dealt with my cranky neighbor! Will definitely rebook.”
“Dan has been fantastic, reliable, and trustworthy. He helped us out through a tough time where we needed an extra set of hands and somebody who could handle big dogs who sometimes pull. So grateful for his support and our dogs love him!”
“Vicenza, has been so great with my dog Marley! It takes Marley a long time to warm up to people and to trust them…and Vicenza has managed to do gain her trust in a short period of time.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m currently a proud dog owner of a 30-lb Lab/Corgi mix and a 70-lb German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My German Shepherd is currently recovering from an injury after an accident where he jumped from my second-story balcony. He is in the process of having surgeries and recovering, which has given me even more experience with providing careful, attentive care, following recovery instructions, and making sure a dog feels safe and comfortable while healing. I’m happy to stop by and give your dog the attention and exercise they need, including walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during my visit, and I’m also happy to send photos and videos so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, so my availability is primarily in the evenings during the week, i am available all day throughout the weekends. My schedule is flexible outside of my work hours, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your dog’s routine. While I currently have the most availability on weekends, I can also accommodate evening walks and drop-in visits during the week. I’ll do my best to be flexible and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay. I’ll keep a close eye on them, make sure they’re comfortable and settled, and give them a safe and loving environment to enjoy. My dogs are friendly, social, and love meeting other dogs. They have experience being around other pups and have never caused issues or fights at dog parks. I’ll always make sure every dog feels comfortable and respected, while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime.
“Great communication! Took wonderful care of our puppies on a very busy day and we truly appreciate her caring and attentive care!! Highly recommend!! Thank you,Lila!”
About: I am a life long dog owner and animal lover. I have been fostering dogs for 15 years, and I've also volunteered with US Veterans Service Dogs, to learn training with positive reinforcement and to puppy sit. I work from home and am active. I walk daily and also love to hike. I welcome an opportunity to give your pets the very best care while you are away! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, to accommodate your pets needs. Whether it’s cuddling, easy neighborhood walks, hiking adventures, or going out and about- I’m up for it! I'll care for your animals with best possible care. Their best interest is always at the forefront of decision making. I want your pets to be happy and comfortable when you are away! And I want you to feel like you have a trusted resource to care for all of your home's needs while you are gone.
About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on full-day or overnight pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.
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
“Would give Jennifer 11 stars if I could! She was helpful, diligent, and so good with our Bridger! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best for their pet!”
About: Come and play! We adopted our cute Cockapoo, Hank, in January 2020 from a well respected Missouri breeder. He is low key, gentle and sweet. Since we home-school we are home most of the day and able to go on walks in the morning or night. We also love to snuggle! Our 1/4 acre property is fully fenced in yard. Our neighborhood is very walkable and our 18 lb Cockapoo, Hank, would love a play buddy!
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education (post doc life!) and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I recently got married this Summer and my husband and I have two little hamsters and live with two wonderful cats! I have minimal travel plans, so would be interested in a one time walk to a pet sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted! Something I really pride myself on is being able to adapt and match the energy your animal needs. From extremely anxious to very extroverted, I can easily find the pace they are most comfortable with to reduce stress, build trust, and give them the love needed while you are busy!
About: We are Andrew and David, a married couple who have spent years caring for dogs of all ages, including our own senior dog who required daily medications and specialized care for heart, Liver, Lung and kidney conditions for his last 4 years with us. Through that experience, we learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for a pet. We are comfortable administering most oral medications and many injectable medications, following feeding schedules, monitoring changes in behavior, and providing updates to owners. While we are not currently accepting diabetic pets requiring insulin management, we are happy to discuss other medical or special-care needs. What sets us apart is that your dog will benefit from having two dedicated caregivers. One of us is often home, allowing for more supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and personalized attention than many traditional boarding environments. We understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to relax, our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress home away from home. We also know how much owners miss their pets while they’re away, so we provide regular updates and photos to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. David is home most days, and Andrew works from home three days each week, which means there is usually someone available to provide companionship, supervision, and care throughout the day. We enjoy staying active and regularly take multiple walks each day, typically covering a mile or more per walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs, they can enjoy plenty of exercise, enrichment, and time outdoors. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, we’re equally happy to provide a comfortable environment with plenty of attention and affection. Because we spend so much time at home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and can maintain a routine that feels comfortable and consistent while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We provide boarding in our home, a clean and comfortable townhome with access to numerous walking trails, a large nearby park, and a dog park for social dogs who enjoy that environment. We understand that every dog is different, and activities are always tailored to your pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. We have extensive experience caring for reactive dogs and understand the importance of managing environments, avoiding unnecessary triggers, and respecting each dog’s boundaries. Whether your dog enjoys meeting new friends or prefers quiet walks and one-on-one attention, we will make sure they feel safe and supported during their stay. Before each booking, we take time to learn about your dog’s routine, preferences, medical needs, and any behavioral considerations so we can provide consistent care that feels as close to home as possible. We treat every dog as if they were our own and provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.
“Jessica gave my two dogs a nice long walk. She came on time, sent lots of photos and my dogs were very comfortable with her. We look forward to Jessica dog sitting for a long weekend in a few weeks. Thanks so much for a great first experience!”
About: Have had medium (pitty) and small (terrier) dogs of my own. Pet sit through college. After our last girls passed have not adopted any new pets. Am happy to be the cool aunt to your fur babies. I currently work full time with a fairly flexible schedule. Would love to enjoy the changing weather with your pup and get outside/away from my desk more. I have a fenced back yard, live near a wonderful walking path and open park or am comfortable in your neighborhood. No pets of my own currently

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
Amy was great! Punctual, a great communicator and easy to work with. She was really great about easing any stress and addressing concerns as well. We mentioned once that we were worried about our gate latching and she addressed it and mentioned latching it every single day - we had no expectation of this but really appreciated it. I’m sure she goes above and beyond with all of her clients :)
Ollie did an amazing job walking my two dogs while I was at work. They followed instructions to a T, were super communicative, and sent along cute pics. They took care of my resident pittie and our reactive foster dog, handling my complicated instructions just fine. They even dealt with my cranky neighbor! Will definitely rebook.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lafayette is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,824 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lafayette after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
