“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”

“We needed to find the perfect person to watch our two four legged kids in our home for a long trip, and we absolutely met the one. Toni met our gregarious Newfoundland and our somewhat shy Bassett, and they all fell in love with each other. Toni stayed in our house (so the dogs were comfortable lol) and it couldn’t have worked out better…the pups were right at home, Toni was able to keep an eye on our place, and she left the house cleaner than when she got there. We are completely comfortable with Toni, so grateful for her communication (daily pics and videos !) and trust her with our fur babies and our home. Can’t say enough about how we were able to relax on our vacation knowing Toni had things handled at home. Strongly recommend Toni, we will be happily asking her to help us again for our next trip. Thank you Toni, and Walter sends his best howl to you ?❤️?”
About: I’ve been a dog and cat owner for decades and have cared for multiple pets throughout my life, giving me years of hands-on experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also regularly cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets while they were away, including looking after them in their own homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, companionship, following established routines, and giving pets the attention and affection they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after both your pets and your home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day Monday through Friday. I’m also available on weekends as needed and can accommodate overnight stays and extended pet-sitting arrangements. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Andrew was great. My maltipoo, Leonard, took to him right away. Andrew is very kind, responsible and was very good with Leonard. Andrew took him for a walk every day of his sit. He also kept me posted with a daily picture. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”
About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are out of town. I’m currently working part-time from 4am-8am and I have plenty of free time to give your pet the love that they deserve when you are at work or on vacation. From my house to your house your pet will be loved and taken care of. I love hikes or just seating at home and petting your loved one.
“Kristen was amazing! We came home from our vacation to a clean house and very happy pup! She was very easy to communicate with from the very beginning, and she sent several updates throughout the stay. We felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby in her hands, and we absolutely plan to book her again in the future!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have my own dog and cat at home, so caring for pets is genuinely my favorite thing to do. I’m completely obsessed with dogs and puppies—if there’s a pup around, that’s immediately who I’m hanging out with! Having my own pets means I totally get how much they mean to you and how important it is to keep their routines consistent. Puppies especially hold a special place in my heart—I love their goofy energy, and I have zero problem keeping up with their constant play, extra supervision, and endless curiosity. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch until they’re tired out, giving endless belly rubs, or just hanging out keeping them company, I treat every pet like my absolute best friend. You can totally relax knowing your fur baby is getting all the love, attention, and fun they could ever ask for while you’re away! I have watched dogs before, both dog sitting at their house and taking dogs for walks as well! Because I’m currently in school and don’t have a full-time job right now, my schedule is super open and flexible! Having that extra free time means I can give your pets tons of one-on-one attention, adapt easily to their specific daily routines, and never have to rush through a visit. I easily balance my schoolwork with pet care, so I'm around to offer steady companionship, frequent pot-ty breaks, and long walks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs midday play sessions to burn off puppy energy or your cat just wants someone hanging out nearby while I study, my open schedule allows me to give them all the time, love, and focus they deserve. I am pretty avabliable most afternoons after 12 and in between in the mornings when I dont have class and am defiently open to dog sitting at your hosue as well overnight! Because I live on campus, I don't host pets in my own place, but I absolutely love doing house sitting and drop-in care right in your home! Staying at your house is the best setup for your pets because they get to stay in their comfortable, familiar environment without any of the stress of moving around. When I stay at your home, your pet's happiness, routine, and comfort are my top priorities: Keeping Their Routine Normal: I follow their exact schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and bedtime so everything feels completely seamless for them while you're away. Tons of Quality Time: Since my schedule is super flexible, I spend plenty of downtime at your home hanging out, studying, and giving your dogs, puppies, or cats all the play, affection, and belly rubs they could want. Respecting Your Space: I treat your house with complete care and respect, leaving it just as neat and tidy as I found it. Regular Updates: I always send photos and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.
About: I live on a farm, have 1 border collie named Maximus who is 12yrs old, 1 Catahoula Mrs. Katniss that’s 10months and train dogs as well. I have a 115 acre farm area where your pet can run and play! Awesome place for a dog and Max/Kat loves visitors. They can run around, play, throw rope, whatever your pet enjoys. If your pet likes to be active I certainly have the area for it! Your pet and I go on daily walks and daily awesome adventures. If needed I have GARMIN tracking collars to place on dogs that may venture away during adventures, just let me know and I’d be more than happy to let your furry friend borrow one of mine! It will have an awesome time and I’ll send daily photos of our cool trips to your cell phone. I will be the only person handling and taking care of your baby. Pets staying 7+ days will also get to enjoy basic obedience training a few times a day. Our goal is to send pets home better than they left. We pride ourselves in running a very clean and professional facility where your furry family members is family to us! *please note, we do understand that we may be more costly than other boarders on ROVER. However, we stand by the fact that you get what you pay for. Please consider that a professional trainer will be with your pet 24/7 while in my care* We are here to provide great customer service and care for pets, not engage in a price war. I work from home, train dogs, and will be with them 24/7. Your dog will receive continuous love from me and my wife. It’s a great environment. If your dog stays inside at your house it’s inside at mine. I can keep them in a kennel in the living room with my other 2 dogs.

The average cost of House Sitting in LaFayette is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred LaFayette walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in LaFayette maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.

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.
