About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality! I have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and others, as well as raising and training my own Jack Russell Terrier with basic commands. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, some extra cuddles, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 🐾 I am a student at Purdue and have a lighter work load this semester. I have time before class, between classes, and after classes to commit to this! I have an apartment with no pets currently. My husband lives with me so he may be around your pet, but will not be proving any pet care services. We do not have a yard but I am more than willing to take the pets for a walk or to the dog park (depending on the dog). I also have friends houses with yards that I can use!

Isabelle has been such a blessing! She has worked with me and my schedule to take the load off me! I work long shifts that are sometimes unpredictable and I don’t have to worry about my dog being taken care of because she does so well with my boy. I don’t stress about him while I’m at work anymore and she always gives me an update at the end of the walk.
Abby was available with very short notice, less than 12 hours while we were in her town visiting family. Just had her do a qui Ck one time lunch walk for us. She communicated well, asked questions about our dog’s personality, checked in frequently, and shared pictures and videos with us. Excellent choice for our first time using Rover! 10/10 recommend her!
Joyce has been an absolute gift to both us and our dog. She is dependable, kind, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog’s personality and needs, and it shows in every interaction. Joyce communicates well, is consistently reliable, and gives us real peace of mind knowing our dog is in such capable hands. Beyond simply walking dogs, she genuinely cares for the animals she works with, and that level of trust is hard to find. We highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and compassionate dog walker.
Camila met our dog where she was at. Rosie is very sensitive to loud noises and surprises. Camila comforted her when needed and avoided triggers (there is loud construction equipment in our neighborhood sometimes). Camila was punctual and alerted us when plans changed unexpectedly. We would definitely choose her again.
I can’t recommend this Mia enough! My dog has separation anxiety and have accidents frequently, and she has handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. She never made it feel like an inconvenience and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and cared for. What really stood out to me was the extra effort she put in, especially taking the time to clean up accidents even though it wasn’t her responsibility. That level of care and professionalism meant so much to me and gave me real peace of mind. She is reliable, communicative, and always sent updates that showed how attentive and compassionate she is. It’s clear she genuinely care about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!!
Azure was absolutely amazing with Furgie! She sent the cutest photos throughout the walk, which truly made my day and gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient with him the first time she picked him up. Furgie was a little bit scared seeing someone new, but she took the time to calm him down, and it was clear from the beginning that Furgie really liked her and felt comfortable around her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I only wish she were available more often, but I know that is because she has classes, but any time Azure is available, I would 100% hire her again without thinking twice. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter! Thank you for leaving the Polaroid photos of Furgie. That’s so sweet of you. I loved it 😍💖
Damon is a top notch caretaker of my two big old boys. He is always on time when he picks them up for walks, he takes thorough notes about all their potty stops, he adds pictures and a summary of each walk. He really makes me feel close to my babies when I’m gone. I cannot recommend Damon highly enough for dog walks.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker.
