“Abigayl has been such an awesome addition to our kitty, Annie’s life, and ours too! She has sat for us twice since moving to the area and has been great. She is thorough, follows care instructions, and our cat loves her. Our cat is very particular and a bit misunderstood, but she loves Abigayl! She also was able to step in and watch her totally last minute. She is our go to cat sitter in the area!”

About: Hi there! I’ve worked with animals both personally and professionally for most of my life. I understand that caring for your fur babies is a responsibility that requires the upmost trust and reliability. With my background in animal care I know that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. I love getting to know what makes each pet special. Some of my favorite drop-in activities include playtime, a nice walk, and comforting pets and cuddles. I am also comfortable following specific feeding, grooming, cleaning and other care needs as requested. I also have experience with other small companion animals including rabbits, ferrets, mice, and rats. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work full-time currently, but I am available after 3pm everyday and all day on Sunday’s and Monday’s. Perfect person to provide evening care for anyone working late or night shifts. I am someone who is very attentive to both the animals condition and their environment and will promptly inform you of anything regarding the safety of your pet.

About: I have taken care of my own pets and other people’s pets my whole life (25+ years). I grew up with a rescue sheltie named Kali and watched my neighbor’s cats as a kid. After high school, I attended Purdue University to get my B.S. in Animal Science and gained experience working with animals of all varieties (small, large, wildlife, laboratory, exotics). I became passionate about animal medicine and decided I wanted to go to veterinary school. I got into the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergrad and have been studying there the last four years. Throughout my schooling, I have gained 8 years of training in various small animal clinics as well as the Purdue Small and Large Animal Hospitals. I am Fear Free Certified for dogs and cats and am comfortable working with any species of any size. I am able to provide quality medical care to any pet such as oral or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, mucous membranes, pulses, blood pressure, Libres, Holter-monitors, and other supportive care your pet may need. I have received extensive CPR training for dogs and cats and have worked with pets in any condition you can think of (geriatric, neonatal, critical condition, post-operatively, diabetics, Addison’s, hyper/hypothyroid, seizure dogs and cats, heart diseases, neurological disorders, non-ambulatory, etc.). You name it, I’ve probably seen it before! I currently have an adorable and loving beagle named Marshall who is a retired research dog. I also had a cat named Sylvie that I rescued in Ohio, but she passed away very recently. Let me know if you have any other species at your home that need attention! I love all pocket pets, birds, reptiles/amphibians, rabbits, and other exotic pets. I also love horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, and any other farm animal you might have on your property. I am currently a part-time student and have a flexible schedule. I can work with you to arrange what is best for you and your pet’s needs, and will ensure that my calendar is updated regularly with my availability. I will respect the safety and wishes of my clients in regards to caring for their pets in their households or while out on a walk. I believe that trust can be established by listening to a clients desires and goals and devoting myself to helping the client achieve them.

“Katelyn did wonderfully watching our cat while we were gone! We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected. She was happy to schedule more visits and work with our travel schedule. Highly recommend, and my kitty clearly loved the time she devoted to cuddles!”

About: What sets me apart is that I am caring, patient, responsible, and dependable. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I am happy to follow their routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away.☺️ Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins. I’m reliable and organized, so I can follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with different schedules and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. (I can’t stay ower night) 😕 I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their individual routines. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.🙏

“This is the first time I have hired a cat sitter through Rover and I must say that my experience with Jamie was first class and I would definitely hire Jamie again. She was so responsive to all of my concerns and messages, adjusted her schedule to best serve my pets' expectations of feeding times, and took such good care of them while I was gone. She's also a wonderful person and so fun to talk with. I'm so glad I met her and will definitely ask for her again. Thank you, Jamie!!”

Fionna was a perfect fit for our kitty, Sokka! She showed up at the times we talked about and made Sokka feel loved. It was comforting to know she had the extra knowledge that comes wither her being in school to be a vet! We were very happy with her 😊

Camila was amazing! My cat, Samy, need multiple medication every 12 hours and she took great care of him. Samy even hid under the couch for one of her visits but she managed to get him out and give him his medicine. Samy seems to have warmed up to her and started greeting her at the door when she arrived.

Caraline was absolutely fantastic with my kitty Kiki! We had never left her alone before, so I was a little nervous, but Caraline was so wonderful about giving her the space she needed. By the end, Kiki absolutely loved her! 🥹❤️ She was incredibly attentive the whole time, and I loved getting photos of my sweet girl every day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Kiki was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! 🐱💕

Kath has been wonderful with Billie. I truly appreciate how flexible and reliable she is, which makes scheduling much easier and less stressful. Knowing that she is a veterinary technician gives me extra confidence, especially when it comes to administering medications correctly and safely. Most importantly, she is someone I genuinely trust and feel secure leaving Billie with. I highly recommend her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lafayette

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lafayette is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 47 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
