“Jessica was wonderful with our two elderly dogs! We were a bit concerned about leaving them for the weekend because they do have accidents due to age and one of our dogs has difficulty navigating our house. Jessica came over for a meet and greet before watching our boys, she was so kind and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Jessica provided regular updates to let us know our doggies were doing okay. She made sure to give them some extra love and attention and made sure they got outside. We came home to our house just as we left it and we really appreciate her flexibility regarding the older dog's accidents.”
“Very thankful for Mia for looking after our cat while we were out of town for several weeks! She was really great in communicating any questions for clarification on things and I really appreciated her coming to meet our kitty before booking to be acquainted with him and his environment. Would highly recommend”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
“Grant did a fantastic job checking in and playing with my cat. Thorough and timely communication, lots of photos, and my cat was happy and cared for. Will work with Grant again for sure.”
“Anna was great! She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and was very attentive, even at our inane requests and routines with our cat. She gave very detailed daily updates when she ended up coming to the house, and that put us at ease. Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Cole did fantastic with my less than friendly to strangers kitties. He went out of the way to make them feel comfortable with his presence and he did absolutely everything I requested!!”
“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.”
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 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.
“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 :)”
“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.”
About: I've had all type of pets my whole life. I've had really energetic dogs and also really calm emotional ones. I often like to take out my dog on a long walk then cuddle up with my cat and read or watch tv. I currently work part-time and mostly work evenings so daytime and morning walks work for me on any day. I am completely free Sunday through Tuesday for overnight stay and at home visits. I'm ready for any instructions you have to help me care for your dog or cat. I'm ready for any type of visit.
“Nicole did an AMAZING job caring for Milo our cat while we were away. She came everyday and checked in on milly playing with him, snuggling him, and even making sure his litter box was clean. She sent great photos and messages with each check in and I genuinely never had to worry about him while we were out. I would highly recommend Nicole for ALL your pet sitting needs!!!”

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.
Colleen was excellent with my one year old cat Sunrise. She was very communicative, showed up at the agreed times, took very good care of him, and left the house very clean. My sweet kitty likes to throw cat litter and water from his dish all over! Highly recommend Colleen for taking care of your kitties! She was also very friendly and nice!
Candy was great for checking in on our cat while we were out of town. She kept him company and shared brief descriptions for how he was doing and photos each time which I really appreciated. The house was safely secured and all of Jabba’s food, water and litter were in good condition. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lafayette on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 14,186 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
