“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”
About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.

About: Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm a lifelong animal lover, and I share my home with my dog Jax, who is the heart of everything I do. I got into pet sitting because caring for animals isn't just my work — it's my passion. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified, so your pets are in safe, trained hands whether we're out on a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or settling in for a cozy stay. I have reliable daytime availability and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Every pet gets treated like family — with patience, playtime, and plenty of love. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule revolves around your pets! I'm available seven days a week from 8:30 AM to 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, day care, boarding, and house sitting. I plan my day around each pet's routine — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Because pet care is my livelihood, you can count on consistent, reliable availability and quick responses to your messages. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified and trained to handle emergencies calmly. In my home, dogs get a secure, pet-friendly environment with structured routines, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection — plus my dog Jax as a friendly companion (with slow, supervised introductions for boarders). In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it: feeding schedules, medications, house rules, and favorite spots. I use secure leashing and harness checks on every walk, keep a close eye on dogs during play, and send regular photo updates so you're never wondering how your pet is doing.
About: My service is a walk in the park. Please give me a 2 week notice.What sets me apart is from others, is that I'll care for all kinds of animals. I’ve taken care of all different types of dogs from small to big and from young to senior. I grew up with Dobermans and love the breed. I also have experience providing dogs medication. I am here to provide your pet the best service I can offer and anything they need (walk, bath, play catch or just sit a cuddle) when you are not home. I will also take care of your small animals too: Cats, Hamsters,Fish,Lizards and hedgehogs. I also have experience with farm animals: Goats, Chickens, Sheep and Donkeys.

I respect all rules of the home and take notes so each is cared for as expected. I’ll always make sure your fur baby is safe and loved.
“We had such a great experience with our Rover sitter! They took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with pictures throughout their walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely book again and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
About: I grew up with family dogs throughout my childhood and couldn’t get enough animal love so I pursued a career in veterinary medicine. I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was in high school and now my career affords me enough free time to share with other fur babies. My fiancé and I currently have a zoo of 3 dogs and 3 cats (border collie mixes named Oliver and Bandit, an australian shepherd mix named Bailey, and the cats are Smudge, Jinx, and Milton). I’ve had experience with seniors, puppies/kittens, and the in between. I’m comfortable with administering oral, subcutaneous, and transdermal medications I’m finally in a position that provides me with a great work/life balance with a 3 day work week and a commute under 40 minutes. I work 12+ hour shifts at an ER/Specialty veterinary hospital Sun-Tues and I bring my dogs to work on those days if my boyfriend won’t be home. I’m almost always available for any pet sitting needs Wednesday through Saturday. We just moved to the area on a quiet street and have a partially fenced yard. I can take dogs for low intensity hikes, walks around the neighborhood, or let them run around out back for exercise. If you have any special requests for overnight care I will do my absolute best to accommodate.
“Ashley was wonderful and very considerate of all my dog’s needs. She was very easy to communicate with and responded right away, and was amenable to our schedule for meeting. I really appreciated how good she was with our dog, and her expertise as a vet tech really showed. Thank you, Ashley! We definitely hope to use her services again.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born and have always cared deeply for their happiness and healthiness. I’ve been asked by many friends, family and acquaintances to watch their animals and have always done a wonderful job. Part of what makes me good at it is that I genuinely love each pet I take care of, even if I only see them once. I’m currently unemployed so I would have all the time in the world to play with, feed, take care of, and walk multiple animals a day. I have a partially fenced in yard as well as a dog that loves to play and nap with other animals. He doesn’t have any playmates really so he would have an amazing time getting to know any animal. If I’m caring for your animal in your own home, I’d be sure to dedicate my all to keeping the house clean and the pets safe and happy!

“Erika was amazing!! This was my first time using the Rover App and I was so lucky to find Erika my first try! Erika was communicative, reliable, energetic and very sweet!! When I arrived to drop off my dog, Erika greeted us with arms full of sticks and toys ready to play with my dog (I told her sticks were my dogs favorite) it was so cute!! My dog can be very nervous and anxious, but Erika was very patient and understanding. She was able to handle my dog confidently and she sent photos and updates throughout their walk to reassure me that my dog was doing well. I would absolutely recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone who truly loves dogs and will treat your pet like their own!”
“I would highly recommend Christine! She was able to handle caring for our high-energy and quirky dog, Titus. I felt at ease seeing pictures of him so happy. Tituts loved her, and I will 100% book Christine in the future.”

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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, you’ll 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 walker.
