“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”
“Jason is an excellent dog care person. We’ve had two days in a row and are so pleased! Our dog is not easy, and Jason spent time helping him relax and teaching us some canine psychology! We will continue to utilize Jason.”
About: I am a wildlife biologist, and I graduated Purdue University with a Bachelor's in Wildlife. I enjoy all animals, including dogs! From having pets and working professionally and causally with animals my whole life, I have a great sense of animal behavior, awareness of common pet health and safety issues, and extreme attention to detail. I look forward to spoiling your four-legged friend and keeping them happy and safe! Please message me, and we can figure out dates and times! For the first couple weeks of August 2026 I am available at any time! I am often available on weekdays and weekends.

“Fionna was available to walk my boys for the weekend at the last minute, I was so thankful for her. She was friendly and communicative. I have no complaints and I would book her again :)”
About: I’m very fond of animals and serious about their care! I’ve had a variety of cats and dogs and the majority have been from shelters or rescues so I have experience with all kinds of temperaments! I’m a college student so I have many large gaps in my weekly schedule that make it great for frequent daytime visits! I’m available for overnight boarding on weekends and occasionally on weekdays. I’m in an apartment but there is ample grassy area to take a dog out and about. I have three cats, all of which have been around dogs before. I’m also very close to many running trails and a nature area, great for long walks with lots of things to sniff!
About: Hi! I'm a Purdue student and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, beginning with pet sitting for neighbors and family friends at age 10. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering care and monitoring pets with seizure disorders. I understand how important it is to have someone attentive, reliable, and calm when your pet requires extra support. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would be at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, regular visits, and timely communication. I carefully manage my commitments to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I strive to maintain their normal routine and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including seizure disorders, and understand the importance of attentiveness, punctuality, and clear communication. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised appropriately, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love all kinds of animals and building relationships with them! Please reach out with any questions! I’m all about providing a stress free experience for you and giving your pet the same love and attention I would give my own while you’re gone! I center my day around when I need to take care of pets, and plan my day around it. I will make your pet my priority! I will treat your pet as my own and keep them company while you’re away! I will also send daily updates if requested! We will have a great time together! I love taking photos of your pets and updating you with them!
About: I studied pre veterinarian medicine for a few years! I’m enamoured with animals! Dogs are my favorite! I’m heavily available in the evenings and most weekends! I hope that I can help with your fur babies! I can be contacted at anytime for any questions or requests you may have! I have many experiences with all kinds of animals during my mentor ship at Purdue, so I have patience and willingness to help and provide whatever kind of care you need! I’m very respectful of animals and I feel that they do have emotions and their own spirit! Dogs have always been in my heart! Given the opportunity, I’m extremely excited to be able to play with and get to know your animals! Thanks for your time!
About: I have owned and cared for numerous pets throughout my entire life. We currently own 2 dogs. I have experience with puppies through adult dogs. My preference for overnights and boarding are on the weekends (until May), but I am available for walks and drop in visits almost any day of the week. I enjoy all aspects of pet care and treat animals like family. Whether your dog needs a potty break or extra snuggle time if you're out of town, I'm there!
“Katelyn is friendly & enthusiastic person who walked our high energy holden retriever, Molly for an hour last Sunday afternoon. Molly was happy to see Katelyn when she arrived at the house, and Katelyn filled me in on their walk together after their walk ended. I have great confidence that Molly is in good hands with Katelyn! Thank you, Katelyn. We look forward to your next visit with Molly!”

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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lafayette.

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 walker 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.

- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
