About: Hi! I am an experienced and energetic individual/ former dog owner looking forward to providing a safe and fun environment for your pet here in New Jersey. I grew up with a variety of pets in the household, especially dogs, but have an affinity for all kinds of pets. Through my remote working life and surf-travel, I've been able to take up some rewarding housesitting and pet sitting opportunities for both friends and strangers in NYC, California, and Mexico City. I'm very comfortable caring for pets with medications or special needs, and always treat every furry friend with the same love and attention as my own. I once did a month-long stay for a very large Irish Greyhound in Rockaway Beach, NYC and it was an exceptional experience. (See photos for reference). :) I'm an NJ native, nonprofit and NGO professional, and outdoorsy/nature enthusiast. I especially enjoy being active and taking big walks and going to parks and using the experience to learn more about being a responsible dog owner (future goal down the line!) I have experience with many different kinds of dogs across all ages, diet preferences, and energy levels. My hours are extremely flexible, and I am available on short notice if necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me - I would love to be of assistance for you and your pet! Thank you! I am a free bird at the moment, so I am available for almost any time or day and can work with your schedule preferences! I live on a small lake with a beautiful yard which I am happy to utilize if they come over, just no indoor visits are allowed.
About: Iâve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). Iâm free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know Iâm coming (if they donât already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs, and Iâve been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I have a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian who are the best of friends, and we enjoy our twice-daily walks together. Iâve grown up with Rottweilers, so I know exactly how to handle big & small dogs âespecially when theyâre feeling anxious or need some extra TLC. I work from home 3-4 times a week and always available on weekends, so Iâm always around to keep your pet company and give them the attention they deserve. Whether itâs a long walk, some playtime, or just a cozy cuddle, Iâm here to make sure your dog feels loved and cared for, just like my own. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so Iâm always available to give your pet the attention they need. My own dogs get two daily walks, and I make time for play and snuggles in between. Whether itâs a walk or some quality time, Iâm here to ensure your pet feels loved and cared for all day. I make sure your pet feels right at home, whether theyâre here with me or in your home. My place is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I keep a close eye on them, ensuring theyâre safe and comfortable. At your home, I stick to your petâs routine and follow any special instructions to keep them feeling secure and loved.

About: I'm a proud dog mom to a 3.5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Amber! I've been caring for her since she was just 2 months old, so I understand how much love, patience, exercise, and mental stimulation dogs need, especially high-energy breeds. I also have experience providing daycare and overnight boarding for friends' dogs. In addition, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've completed dog walking training and gained hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. Beyond everyday care, I have experience caring for dogs when they're sick or recovering, including administering oral medications, applying prescribed topical treatments, and monitoring their comfort and behavior. I understand how important it is to follow each dog's specific care instructions carefully. My friendly Mini Aussie, Amber, loves playing with other dogs and would be happy to have a furry companion! I always prioritize safe introductions, supervised playtime, and each dog's individual needs. I treat every pup like family and want them to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do at home! I currently work part-time from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your pup throughout the day! Dog care is already part of my daily routine with my Mini Aussie, Amber. I take dogs out for walks and potty breaks at least four times a day, with additional outdoor time, playtime, and mental enrichment depending on their energy levels and individual needs. I'm available for daycare, overnight boarding, and meet & greets almost every day, including weekdays and weekends. I also love keeping pet parents updated! I'll send plenty of photos, videos, and little updates throughout the day so you can see what your pup is up to and feel connected even when you're apart. I know how much peace of mind that brings because I'm a dog parent myself! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a fully fenced private patio, plenty of indoor space, and a dog playpen for supervised rest or separate downtime when needed. My apartment community also has a dog park and a large grassy area, perfect for walks, sniffing, and outdoor adventures. Dogs will always be securely leashed in unfenced areas, and playtime with other dogs will be carefully supervised. My friendly and energetic Mini Australian Shepherd, Amber, loves making new furry friends! I believe in slow, proper introductions and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with special medical needs, including giving oral medications and applying prescribed ointments or topical treatments. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining medication schedules, and keeping a close eye on changes in a dog's behavior or well-being. I'll follow your pup's regular feeding, walking, and care routines as closely as possible, with at least four daily walks or potty outings unless their health or individual needs call for a different schedule. You can also expect frequent photos, videos, and updates throughout your pup's stay. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry family member is receiving attentive, loving care! Meet & greets are always welcome before booking!

âTracy and Steven were awesomeâour pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. Weâd definitely book them again.â

About: Hi, Iâm Alexandra! Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, parrots, ferrets, and many other animals. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I split my time between West Orange and Hoboken. In West Orange, I live with my mother, and in Hoboken, I share a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with my partner. Both have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. Having two welcoming homes and experienced helping hands allows me to offer more flexibility. Hoboken offers the most flexibility for overnight stays, as my partner works from home and Iâm a college student with a flexible schedule. This means your fur baby will enjoy plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day! If West Orange is more convenient, Iâm always happy to arrange a meet-up there and discuss having your pet stay with us in Hoboken. We love keeping pets active and engaged, aiming for hourly walks whenever appropriate, along with playtime, cuddles, and plenty of individual attention. Every pet has a different personality, so we always follow their routine and respect their comfort level. Iâm also CPR certified and happy to share frequent photos, videos, and updates so you can see how your little one is doing throughout their stay. Above all, we genuinely love what we do. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone elseâs care, and we want you to feel confident knowing theyâll be treated with the same love and attention weâd give our own. Holiday Policy: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Yearâs bookings require a minimum stay of five nights. With an additional fee Iâm a college student ( business school) with a flexible schedule allowing me plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I split my time between West Orange, where I live with my mother, and Hoboken, where I share a spacious apartment with my partner, who works from home. Both my mother and partner have years of independent pet-sitting experience and share my love for animals. With our schedules and experience, thereâs almost always someone home to provide companionship and attentive care. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, and personalized care tailored to your petâs routine and comfort level. My priority is to make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and right at home while youâre away! Your petâs safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take extra care to create a welcoming, pet friendly environment by keeping potentially toxic houseplants out of my home and using pet and child safe cleaning products.

With experienced family members nearby and my partner working from home, your pet will enjoy plenty of companionship and attentive care throughout the day. We also have indoor cameras for additional peace of mind. ( Be advised based on your pets needs/size Iâll recommend which location will best fit your pet) I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (when needed), and any special care requirements.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lafayette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesnât offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lafayette with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
