About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!

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: I currently have two dogs. My miniature Aussie, Bonnie, is a 12 year old pup who I have had since she was a puppy. My other pup is a black lab named Spade and she is 13 years old. Caring for these two girls brings me so much happiness that I decided to branch out and offer pet care services. I currently care for one other dog, a vizsla, that is almost 3 years old. He stays overnight with us when his parents are out of town. I also babysit a 10 week old black lab puppy at my house whenever her parents are busy.

Our two dogs love the yard and spend a lot of time out there whenever we are home. We have ample toys to share for entertainment! Our dogs love to bring their toys outside to play. The two other dogs I care for love playing in the yard as well. It is never a dull moment with this crew! I do allow our two dogs to lay on the couches with us as well as the other two pups I care for sometimes. I use harnesses on my two dogs for their walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for a very long time you can even say my whole life. I’ve raised cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas, even a chameleon from babies to adults. I’ve potty trained many puppies, taught them tricks, and even cared for pregnant mommas with puppies. Cats are more of my specialty though i’ve litter box trained them, taught them to walk on a leash, tamed feral cats/kittens. I also volunteer from time to time at the Acadiana Animal Aid shelter helping care for cats/dogs in need of homes. I’m currently working full-time. I work an 8 hour day normally from 8 am - 5 pm, my hours are flexible though. I also have a 1 hour lunch I can take. I’m completely free most weekends. I have a mostly fenced yard where my dog Huck loves to play, it is a little small but we make do with the space we have. My dog and cats gets fed twice a day morning/evening. If I’m caring for an animal in a clients home I can visit in the mornings/lunch/evenings depending on the care needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working in veterinary medicine for over 10 years and my passion for animals. I love them!! I am currently working full time from home. I am pretty flexible to provide care that you need for your fur babies especially early in the morning, during breaks and after work I care for my pets in my home by treating them as if they are my children. My fur babies are super spoiled. I have a fenced in yard and provide them with super quality care constantly especially with me working in veterinary medicine I am always on alert for any problems.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was roughly ten years old. I have experience with all age groups, training experience, and medical experience! I also have experience in potty training! I currently work fulltime for Rover, although that may change sometime in the future. I pride myself in taking the time and energy to devote myself to certain areas like pet care though. I follow rules to a T. I offer pet care in my home and I offer plenty of walks, playtime, love, and care! I always leave a clients home better than what I arrived to as well as a personal touch.
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since my parents got me my bird at 2 years old. My absolute love and dedication to his care kick started my life of loving animals, starting out with volunteering for several years at Acadiana Animal Aid and fostering cats and dogs through them as well. I started dog walking and pet sitting at 11 and I’ve now taken care of more animals than I can list. I am extremely passionate about my love of all animals and I will treat your pets with the love and dedication I believe every animal deserves! I am a full time student at UL but I am open in the mornings, afternoons and nights! During the month of December I am on my winter break so I will be open with full availability during the weekdays and weekends. Whether you need your pets let out during the day while you’re at work or if you’d like them to be brought to the park or a walk around your neighborhood, I’m here for you! I have reliable transportation that is large enough to fit even the biggest of dogs. I also have plenty of experience with medically complex animals, so I’d be able to give medicine or help out in whatever way they would need!
About: I’m experienced with cats and dogs and have personally raised a litter of kittens from birth recently. I currently have a dog that is a Australian Shepherd/Husky mix and 3 cats (a black cat, a snowshoe, and a tortie). I offer gentle, reliable care and make pets feel safe and loved. Any protocols or needs will be followed to the best of my ability. I am mostly available weekday evenings and weekends. Depending on my work schedule and work load (I work from home), it's possible that I can also be available early mornings or mid-day to drop in and check on your pets. Please reach out for any specific needs and I can see if I can make it work! I give every pet the love, attention, and patience they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I keep communication open and can send updates and photos if you’d like them. I’m attentive to body language and always respect each animal’s boundaries so they feel safe, understood, and at ease.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate and experienced dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. In that role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Handling everything from playtime supervision and feeding to administering basic care and ensuring a safe, happy environment for every pup. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up around them, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or just some extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, shy pups, and everything in between! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a teacher during the week, so my pet care schedule fits perfectly around that! I’m available in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency when their owners need it most. I have a dog of my own, but I live in an apartment, so boarding in my home isn’t ideal. My dog is friendly so play dates are definitely an option if you’re okay with it! I prefer caring for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow all provided instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.
About: I have experience working in multiple veterinary clinics, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health and behavior than the average sitter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience or special attention. I’ve also been pet sitting and boarding for over three years, so I’m used to keeping pets comfortable, sticking to routines, and making them feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel loved and stress-free. I recently moved to Lafayette from Pineville, I’m looking for new clients. I am available any day of the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.

About: I went to school for animal health and behavior and I use to be a zookeeper. I know my stuff! Also grew up on a farm. I currently have 3 dogs who eat breakfast and dinner of real food that I cook everyday. I am well aware of proper nutrition as well as behavior training since three dogs can get easily chaotic if not handled properly. We play everyday and have sun tanning time for 2 hours. No matter my schedule we stay with there's! I have a fenced in yard and my dogs are trained not to run out any door. We have safe toys in a toy box that we check for broken pieces that may be ingested.
About: I care about my animals that I am with! It's my priority to fulfill their needs. I been a pet lover all of my life so this will be less of a job, more of something I love to do. Taking care of animals would be in my free time which is usually around 4 days a week. I work part time at a clinic, so it would be around my hours! I make it a priority to be there for animals and make sure they have what they need and make them feel loved and cared for.
About: Have had pets since I was young. Experience with a variety ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles and rodents. Newborn to seniors and special needs. Recently stopped working and soon to be an empty nester when my daughter leaves for grad school. This will give me pretty much open availability. Will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own but with your instructions. They will never lack for love and attention.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid because growing up I would always come home with new ones all the time! I have all the time to play and train dogs now because I got one of my own. I also used to work at Sherwood South Animal Emergency and Critical Care Center as a kennel attendant. So I really have a lot of hands on experience on running a kennel as well as dealing with the hurt animals in the ER. And I know a lot about medication, routines and food routines so it shouldn’t be a problem with the experience I have. If I didn’t have to move to Lafayette Louisiana, I would love to stay at the emergency hospital, but we wanted to move to a family safe area. I really had a lot of love for the animals that I took care of and was really a great experience. I’m currently working part time and can sit or board pups durning the weekdays and weekends!! From 9am to 7pm I could walk the pups. Boarding whenever!! I have a black lab puppy at the moment and train and take her for walks very often. It would be great for her to have some pups for friends we have a fence in yard and a dog park as well!
About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lafayette on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 191 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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 .
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.
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.
