“Camila did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was gone! My cat is known to make messes and act up while I’m gone and Camila happily cleaned up the messes she made! Camila was attentive, spent a lot of time with her (even if she didn’t always come out to say hi) and provided plenty of pictures. I would happily have her watch Jym again next time I’m out of town.”

“(Written from the perspective of Margot, a female black lab.) Carrie was a nice lady. From the minute she first came by to meet me, she knew right where to scratch and rub. I can tell she really knows how to deal with us doggos. She fed me dinner (always so yummy!) and took me out on a walk -- which was probably all about looking for squirrels, but it gave me a chance to pee and do my business. I don't know why my human has to go away sometimes, but when he does, I hope I'll keep on getting visits from Carrie! I'll bet she'll take great care of me when I have to board overnight too!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love and affection for dogs and cats, but have never found myself in a life situation that allowed me to have one of my own. However taking care of my friends’ pets over the years has always allowed me to experience the joy of being around loving animals. I would love to do the same for others! I am currently self-employed and work remotely, meaning my schedule is extremely flexible and can be worked around most appointment times, even if they’re last-minute. I treat all animals with the respect and gentleness that they deserve, while recognizing that each pet has their own unique personality and treatment preferences.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was a little kid. I had 2 childhood dogs and currently have 3 dogs back in my home state of Illinois, one Labrador and two lab mixes. I absolutely love dogs and know what’s required to keep dogs happy and healthy! Pretty much the only animals I don’t love are bugs, and I have pet sit for neighbors back home and watched dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I do need to disclose that due to a recent development of chronic wrist pain, I am unable to walk dogs that have a tendency to pull on their leashes, however outside of that task, I'm able to do just about anything else to keep a dog healthy, happy, and entertained. I am currently a full time graduate student at Purdue, with about 2-3 hours of classes per day. There may also be other times I am unavailable due to exams, class projects, or doctors appointments, but outside of class times I generally have a very open schedule to attend to your pet's needs. Unfortunately, I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time as my lease does not allow animals of any kind.

About: Hi, I'm Layla! Animals have always been a part of my life—I've had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and more since I was born. Right now, I’m lucky to share my home with my fur bestie, Penny (my dog), and my five cats! My love for animals is endless, and I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. Whether your dog needs a fun, energetic walk or your cat just wants some love and affection, I’m here to make sure they get the best care possible. I’m experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated to providing a safe and fun experience for your pets. Let’s make sure your furry friends have a blast while you're away! I am currently a student and I commute to school. I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I have a free and flexible schedule. I will work directly with the owner to know the adequate care needed for the pet and I will take action. I will always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable!

About: I've had several dogs throughout my life with various personalities! I am very active so long walks are my favorite. I've had cats, dogs and puppies all at different points in my life. I'm here to help with your furry friends :) I work a typical 9-5 during the week and on weekend mornings until about noon. I'm free weekend afternoons and weekday evenings! Perfect for evening walks! I have experience working with hyperactive dogs and have no problems getting to know shy puppies as well. I love them all big and small! I have a lot of care and patience with dogs of all ages.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have two huskies of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic, strong, playful dogs and the patience and attention they require. I also have volunteered at the animal shelter walking dogs for the past year! I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, whether they need an active walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to make dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own routines. I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits! I am currently a Purdue university student in West Lafayette, and I have a very flexible schedule this semester. I am open to routine walks or even day of walks! I treat each dog like they are my own and make sure they are very comfortable with me! I would be more than happy to do a meet and greet with you and your pup before working for you!

About: I have 5 years experience in pet care ranging from house sitting to kennel/daycare. I can administer oral and topical medications. I understand consistency is key when pups are in-training and will practice their skills with them. I love dogs and strive for the best so you can rest! I have a full time job and have a set schedule for the most part. Small changes are not rare. I am available weekends and week days after 4:30pm. I believe that your animal is a family member. And in my experience, dogs are not too far off from toddlers. Like toddlers, dogs need enrichment, attention/affection, and routine.

About: I've cared for my own dog for most of my life and have always had a strong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also volunteer at local animal shelters, where I help walk dogs and spend time with them. Working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident in caring for pets. I genuinely love being around animals and look forward to treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm currently studying Elementary Education and spend my weekdays in elementary schools during the day. Because of this, I'm primarily available in the evenings and at night. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with dogs is one of my favorite ways to unwind after a busy day. Whether your pet needs an evening walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra companionship, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I'm attentive during walks, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience where your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs since middle school. I love dogs and have two on my own - a Dalmatian and a Basset Hound. My family is very active and we walk the doggies daily! My job is very flexible and I have a lot of extra time during the day to spend time with the doggies! I have had dogs all my life! I love dogs and I spend a lot of time outdoors with the doggies! I make sure the doggies get at least one walk a day but more often than not they get walked twice daily.

About: I've been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always played an active role in caring for our family dogs, from daily walks and feeding to playtime and giving them plenty of love and attention. Today, I regularly pet sit and dog walk for friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work a full-time schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, but I am available to provide attentive pet care during evenings, overnight stays, and weekends. I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of exercise, affection, and consistent care while following their normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for in your home. I provide attentive, personalized care in your home so your dog can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels, so I always adapt my care to match their routine and personality. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

We were very nervous leaving our fur baby home for the first time. Jamie was wonderful, she spoiled our Penny and sent tons of pictures. It was a great experience for both pup and parents. Our son loved getting to see his dog each night before bed and felt like he didn't miss her as much as when we've boarder her in the past. We will definitely be using Jamie again if we can't take Penny with us or habe grandparents babysit!

Faith is a wonderful, trusted dog walker. We have two large dogs who are reactive to other dogs and do not like strangers. Faith is very responsible and did fantastic with both of them. They love her and listen well to her. They get excited as soon as she enters our driveway. Faith follows our instructions and is a great communicator. She also understands dogs very well and is very observant. She sends a message if she notices that a dog behaved a bit differently than they usually do. Our family very much appreciated her help and we will miss her after she graduates and moves elsewhere.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lafayette

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lafayette on Rover is $22 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. 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 September 2026, there are 258 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lafayette with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
