Pet Sitting in Lafayette

“Kay was excellent! She communicated well and our cat was very happy and relaxed when we got home. I’d recommend her if you’re going out of town!”

“We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Tenashia to care for our kittens and puppies! Her communication was top-notch from start to finish, always keeping us updated and at ease. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust so much—thank you, Tenashia, for taking such wonderful care of our babies!”

Rachel D.

“Ashely is so sweet and you can tell she definitely loves animals! She has great communication skills and sends me the cutest pictures while I am at work when she checks on my puppy.”

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 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.

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.

“Lindy is the absolute BEST!! I had to leave my kitty baby for 2 whole weeks and she really made me feel like I was still at home with her! She sent so many great pictures and videos every day and really made my girly feel so loved! I know she was super well taken care of. Highly highly recommend her to anyone!”

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.

“Tessa came to check on my pets at the precise times I needed her to; on top of that, she was a very consistent communicator while I was away! I’m glad I booked with her and look forward to doing so again 🖤 10/10 recommend”

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.

“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.”

“Jaqueline was wonderful and took care of our pup like he was one of her own. I would absolutely use her again. She definitely is an animal lover and will treat your pet with love and respect”

“Vivian is awesome! She took such great care of my baby boy while I was at work! She’s super great to work with and my dog loves her!”

About: I have been around dogs of all sizes. My dogs are both over 55 pounds and full of energy. I can handle any energy level as well. I look forward to working with you and your dogs in the near future! I am a full time behavior tech at an ABA clinic. I work 8:00-3:30 Monday thru Friday, but am free any other time of the week. I am willing to take care of your babies in your home! I provide a loving environment and will love them like I would my own.

“Madeline was very sweet! Thank you for taking care of my pups while I was away.”

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: Loving and reliable pet care for your fur babies! You can book with confidence with me! I have spent years caring for my own dogs while also learning proper care and training from my granddaughter who works in veterinary medicine. I am passionate about giving your pets a loving home away from home. I am retired and spend most of my days working around my house with my two yorkies. I have a fenced in yard that we spend alot of our day in. My neigherborhood is very quiet and does not have a lot of traffic, I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to play safely. For cats, I have a safe and quiet room that they can have to themselves away from my two yorkies, but the yorkies have been around cats before and are okay with them.

“Eva was so sweet and happy to help take care of my fur baby! Maya loved her. I completely trusted her with my girl!”

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!
