About: I have had animals my entire life that I have taken care of and loved. I had to leave my fur babies back home for school, so I wanted another way to see some other fur babies. I am a full time college student, with classes earlier in the day, so I will be free most afternoons and early in the mornings. I will follow the normal routine of your animals within your home, and meet all their needs. I will also offer some extra love and playtime for your precious animals.

Our cats require a lot of care and love, which made us stressed in leaving them home to go on our honeymoon. However, we chose Kay due to her experience with cats. She went above and beyond in her care for our little ones! Kay gave thorough and detailed updates during her check ins, which gave us a sense of comfort and confidence in her ability to provide quality care of our three cats. For instance, she noted that one cat had developed a little hacking cough and notified us immediately with a video and detailed that the cat was otherwise eating well and playful. She even offered to take our cat to the vet, if we were concerned by this new development. It was also evident that she has a passion and love for caring for animals, and that she would go above and beyond for our pets as she would her own. She definitely helped us to be less stressed about our angels during our honeymoon ❤️. We will continue to use and recommend her as a pet sitter!

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals. I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, took two years of veterinary classes, and even worked at a veterinary clinic as my first job. Life took me on a different route but I never stopped loving animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they need a walk, playtime, fresh food and water, medications, or just lots of love and attention. I’m also the person who stops for every stray animal (my husband has had to remind me we can’t keep them all! 😂). I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a gecko at home. Most of them are strays so jokes on him! As a wife and mom, I understand how important it is to know your loved ones are in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and send plenty of photo updates so you know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I do work full-time, so I offer pet care before and after work, on days off, and during my available hours. This isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I love and brings me happiness. Since I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I always strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. And I think communication with you is key!

About: I was lucky to grow up in a family that loves dogs. From playing with Pugs as a six years old on my local play-ground to potty training our Stafford Terrier - dogs have been an essential part of my life. And always will be! We currently own two dogs. My husband and I love our walks together with dogs and cuddling with them on the couch. My husband and I are very flexible when it comes to time-management. Either one of us or both together will always find time to give your dog the attention it needs and deserves. I work as a civil engineer; my husband moved to the United States one year ago from Germany. Communication is key - both with the dog owner but also with the dog. My husband and I are happy to meet any wishes. We like to walk our own dogs leashed and we bring dog bags to pick up their poop. Any potential risks (shards, busy traffic, threatening dogs, …) will always be avoided. We care for your dog(s) like they are our own.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. While I was stationed at Fort Polk, many of my fellow Soldiers would go on leave, travel home for the holidays, or be away for training. Since I stayed in Louisiana and did not travel because I purchased my home here, I was often happy to help by caring for their pets. I would feed them, take them on walks, play with them, exercise them, make sure they had fresh water, and give them plenty of attention until their owners returned. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I am CPR certified, physically fit, dependable, and treat every animal like family. I have a spacious home where pets have room to relax and feel comfortable, and I will always make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. As a 1099 contractor, my hours vary, which gives me the ability to work around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday check-in, evening care, or overnight attention, I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important consistency is, and I am committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. My wife and I have rescued stray cats and cared for numerous animals over the years, so we understand the patience and attention every pet deserves. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you have. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving excellent care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals and pet sitting for friends and family from a young age gave me a strong foundation in providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, including feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure. As the owner of a reactive and anxious Labradoodle and a strong-willed Golden Retriever mix, I have firsthand experience working with dogs that require extra patience, awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m familiar with clicker training techniques, leash reactivity management, and creating calm, positive experiences during walks and visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, attention, medication, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time for early morning or evening drop-ins during the week and open availability on weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the importance of following routines, administering medications correctly, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. As the owner of an anxious, reactive dog, I’m experienced in handling pets who need extra patience and attention. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated throughout every visit for added peace of mind.

About: Passionate animal lover dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, overnight boarding, bathing, or administering medication when needed, I treat every animal with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I currently work part-time, allowing me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for boarding, and weekdays for walks. I’m excited to provide your pets with lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I have a fenced-in yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. I also have one friendly indoor cat named Tater who is used to being around other animals. If your pet is more comfortable with a crate or has a specific routine, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable throughout their stay.

Katie has been the absolute BEST watching my two pups and why I have continued to use her over and over. I’ve used sitters both off and on rover and she is truly the most reliable, trustful, and personable. She makes our vacations much more pleasant because I know the pups are being so well cared for.

Reaghan did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was out of town! She kept in touch and sent me adorable pictures of my cat being active and happy so I didn't have to worry while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was so generous with her time over the busy holiday season. Would definitely book again!

About: As a dog mom and fellow Rover customer, I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone else. Especially when they have a specific routine, a lot of energy, or need extra patience to feel comfortable. I will follow care instructions closely, because the comfort and safety of your pet is my ultimate priority. I have years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, including horses, and I have a high-energy dog of my own who I actively train and work with every day. I’m especially gentle with shy or nervous animals and let pets warm up at their own pace. very pet has their own personality, boundaries, and way of communicating, and I do my best to make sure they feel understood, respected, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school for communication and work part-time, so clear communication and staying organized are basically built into my daily life at this point. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility for drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially those with specific routines, high energy levels, or anxiety around new people, and I take timing and instructions seriously. I treat every visit like I’m stepping into your pet’s normal routine, not interrupting it. That means I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality and needs. You can definitely expect regular updates, photos, and detailed check-ins while you’re away. Before visits, feel free to give me all the furry details — I want to know it all! I’ve been the pet parent with a long list of concerns and preferences too, so you never have to worry about being “too much” when it comes to your pet.

About: Hi, my name is Dmitri. I have four years of experience working with dogs, through doggy daycare/boarding centers. Because of these jobs I have experience working with a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. I am very passionate about dogs and making sure they are well cared for. I am working part time and saving for school. Checking on your pets and making sure that they are perfectly happy is the perfect gap filler. I’m used to walking dogs of all walking styles and I have been trained on dog body language in order to give appropriate space and attention to dogs with all kinds of personalities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lafayette on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 84 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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 sitter.
