“Riley was amazing. Very attentive and thorough. Lots of pictures. This is my First time using Rover and I will continue to be very happy with the service if everyone treats my sweet pup like Riley did.”


“Sarah took amazing care of our two Great Danes on the evening of our wedding! This was our first time booking with her, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave Gracie and Walter. She even cleaned up Walter’s bed after he destroyed it, which was so thoughtful and appreciated! Knowing our pups were in good hands let us relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying. Thank you, Sarah, for helping make our day stressfree! We would happily book with her again.”

“Dan is a great sitter. He was punctual, thorough and very informative while posting pics and texting updates while we were gone. We're going to book Dan again this summer. Thanks, Dan!”

About: 😸 IMPORTANT: Hi, please call me Ollie! Aitana is my legal name, and I don’t use it.😸 ❤️🌱 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. 🤞
“Jessica is awesome, she is my go-to person for all my pet related needs, I am a repeat customer. She watched my 3-month old golden and took great care of him for a few hours. She gave him plenty of exercise and snuggles. She’s great with my pups and very responsive & dependable. Her communication is fantastic. I highly recommend her!”


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.
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.
About: Lifelong animal lover providing attentive care in a calm home tailored to your dog’s routine. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with rescues, completed dozens of sits, and navigated every stage from puppyhood to golden senior years. After recently losing our beloved rescue pup of ten years, we've opened our home on Rover as a way to pour that same devotion into caring for other dogs. Having guided senior dogs through their final seasons, I am very comfortable managing gentle routines, oral medications, mobility support, and tender pacing. In our home, your dog receives a dedicated two-person care team. My husband brings past experience from volunteering at animal shelters and working with livestock on a ranch. What to expect: •Tailored Days: Upbeat play or quiet couch snuggles to match their unique personality. •Experienced Senior Care: Extra TLC, oral meds, and gentle comfort. One Family at a Time: My calendar shows 1 dog to prevent overlap, but siblings are always welcome! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily life. My schedule lets me offer attentive supervision and adapt to your pup’s established routine. This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs who need frequent potty breaks, scheduled mid-day medications, gentle mobility assistance, or simply the comfort of having someone nearby throughout the day. Whether your dog thrives on quiet company while I work, cozy couch naps, or periodic stretch breaks on a walk, I mirror your home routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, nap spots, and light walks on track. Our home is designed to be a calm, clean, low-stress sanctuary where your pup can truly relax. Every detail is set up with safety, joint support, and accessible comfort in mind—largely shaped by the loving care I gave my late senior dog, Kenny. Accessible, Low-Impact Living: • Zero-Stair Access: Our building features an elevator, so aging hips and stiff joints never have to navigate stairs. •Senior-Friendly Furniture: Our furniture is intentionally low to the ground for easy on-and-off access, and dogs are always welcome on the couch! We also have a cozy, dedicated "dog chair" and an orthopedic, human-grade toddler mattress originally purchased to soothe Kenny's arthritis. •Spotless & Fresh Comfort: Your pup's health and hygiene come first. The mattress has protective covers that is cleaned between visitors. •Cozy & Stocked: While we have a secure patio rather than a yard, our home is filled with plush blankets, orthopedic lounging spots, engaging toys, and healthy treats. Routine & Outdoor Time: Multiple walks throughout the day—whether your dog prefers brisk exercise or slow, leisurely walks. Crating & Comfort: Because my late dog had a difficult past with confinement when I rescued, I never forced crating and prioritize open, free-roaming comfort. However, if your dog feels safe in their crate routine, I am happy to accommodate—please bring their familiar crate.
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.
“Julia did drop in visits for my cat Sage while we were out of town for three weeks. This is the longest we have ever left our kitty which was hard, but seeing the updates from Julia every day made us feel so at ease! Sage got along so so well with Julia (and cats are a great judge of character if you ask me). I have used many different sitters for drop in visits for Sage in the past, and Julia provided the best daily updates we have ever received from a sitter! The updates were so thoughtful and we got lots of pictures, which we loved receiving every day while we were away.”

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.
“Brittany has been so amazing taking care of Luci for us!! We received really thorough updates that made us feel really comfortable while we’re away. Luci got lots of play time and was very well cared for, thanks so much Brittany!”

“Holly is amazing! She takes such good care of my puppy, Kevin! She is punctual, efficient, communicative and super caring and fun with Kevin😊 Simply put, a working dog dad’s dream! Thanks so much Holly!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years and have had 4 chocolate Labs and 2 cats of my own. Training dogs using calm voice commands has always been second nature to me—it’s just how I’ve learned to work with them, with lots of patience and consistency. I’ve leash-trained a few friends’ dogs and helped reinforce good walking habits. I’ve also stayed overnight for friends for more than a week at a time, caring for their two dogs and one cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their humans are away. I’m new to Colorado. I transitioned here to gain residency for in-state tuition for my daughter. I’m still getting to know the area and just enjoying exploring this area. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules, walking habits, and house rules so pets feel relaxed and secure in their own space. I use calm voice commands, lots of patience, and positive reinforcement, especially with dogs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being and communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is always to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
About: Hi there! I’m excited to welcome your pup into our home! I work full-time Monday through Friday as an environmental consultant, and I offer weekend boarding (Friday–Sunday) and weekend house sitting. My partner, Cait, and I share a love for animals and enjoy providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a cozy, pet-free and kid-free condo, making our home a great option for dogs who thrive in a quieter, more relaxed setting. We also lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors! Whether your pup enjoys long walks, exploring new places, or tagging along on adventures, we’d love to include them whenever appropriate. A little about our availability: I primarily offer boarding Friday through Sunday. For Friday morning drop-offs, Cait is available to come home during her lunch break for a potty break, and I’ll be home after 5pm to spend the rest of the weekend with your pup. Our goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like part of the family. We look forward to meeting you! 🐶❤️ I mainly offer weekend boarding or house-sitting to make sure your pets have plenty of care and attention throughout their stay. Our weekends are flexible, allowing us to tailor our routine to each dog's individual needs. Safety and trust are my top values, and I don’t take it lightly when someone entrusts me with a pet who is so special and important to them. I care for them, like they were my own. I maintain a clean, secure environment and supervise pets closely while they’re in my care. I’m attentive to behavior cues, comfort levels, and any signs of stress, and I adjust care as needed. I communicate openly and consistently with owners so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.
“Mary took care of our cat for a week and we were very happy with her help, excellent communication and great care. We would like to recommend her as a very reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Jai was an amazing care taker for my cat while I was gone on holiday. He removed all the worry of being away from your pets. Jai was very responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our two Great Danes, Gracie and Walter, while we flew to California for our wedding photo shoot, and we felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Having that peace of mind during such a special trip meant everything to us! She was incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and made sure our pups were so well taken care of with walks, playtime, and attention. It was clear from her messages how much she enjoyed spending time with them, which made us feel even more comfortable. She even brought our packages inside! We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust with our dogs. We would happily book Sarah again and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable sitter. Thank you, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our babies! 🤍🐾

Sarah did an awesome job taking care of my big dog Cyrus! He has a hard time when we leave town and Sarah did extra check-ins and spent some extra time with him to make sure he was comfortable. She also helped make sure my house was safe while I was away. Thank you, Sarah!

Excellent experience! Alycia was on time, responsive, and reliable. She took excellent care of our senior dog, who has limited mobility and medication needs. Our shy cat loved her too and came out to play and socialize. We are so grateful for her attentive care and would happily book with her again.

Rachael takes wonderful care of our Leo! 🐈⬛ He’s always so happy, well rested, and well fed when we return after her visits. She gives great detailed updates and always listens to ours & Leo’s silly requests. ☺️ We hope to always have her available to visit Leo! ✨

Mackenzie was great- we sincerely appreciated her ability to catsit at the last minute. She was communicative, prompt and thorough. She anticipated needs and let me know of little changes she was noticing in my cats appearance and behavior. I would rebook her in a heartbeat.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lafayette is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 14,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
