About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.

Kayla was great!! She came and met Bo before the scheduled visit so he could get a chance to meet her beforehand. She was attentive to all of his needs and schedule. She sent me many videos and photos during the time she was with him. I would love to have her come back and help with Bo any time it is needed.

Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life! I enjoy playing, walking, and spending time with dogs and cats. I have also been a sitter for several personal friends and family members. I’m currently on vacation from college, so I can spend as much time as needed with all of my clients! I am available most days, excepting Thursdays and Fridays. I am very comfortable with animals and try to ensure that they are comfortable with me. I walk my large, excitable dog on a regular basis. This experience gives me confidence when I walk other animals.

Because of my schedule changing constantly, don’t be afraid to ask! I am able to provide loving care. I would walk your dog, feed, give medication, or even just provide support. I love animals of all kinds and just want to provide care and support to your fur babies!

Ashlynn did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were gone. I was so nervous about leaving them and having someone stop by because we have never done it this way before, but she showed up on time for every drop in and she made our animals feel loved while we were gone. She communicated with us very effectively as well. We left for 4 days and when we returned there were no messes to clean up and our pets were so happy to see us, but acted like they were shown plenty of love while we were gone. She made sure to show each of them affection and attention on every visit. And, that says a lot considering we have 3 cats and a dog she was tending to. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to make sure their fur babies have the best care!

About: Hello! I have had dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. I have been a dog sitter for family and friends during this time as well! This includes walking, feeding, bathing and snuggling with their fur-babies while they are out of town. I love sending pictures and updates of your pets to keep your mind at ease. I am currently between employment, so that means I will be home full time to give your fur-babies the snuggles, potty breaks and play time that they need throughout the day. I currently live in apartment. There is a large fenced in area on the property for playing, running around, potty breaks or just sun bathing.

About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong bond I have with animals. I’ve owned pets my whole life, and to me, they’re like children—each one unique, deserving of love, patience, and understanding. I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. I have hands-on experience grooming and training dogs, including working with puppies and supporting senior or disabled dogs who need a little extra attention. For the past two years, I’ve been pet sitting professionally, providing in-home, overnight care where pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, calm, and deeply committed to making sure every pet I care for feels secure, happy, and loved like they’re my own. I do work remote from home Mon-Friday 8-4 and Wednesday 8-1. During this time I can work at your home as long as you have high speed internet I can connect to. I do prefer a very clean home if I’m staying somewhere else. I hope this doesn’t sound rude but I will also leave your home as you left it. I will also strip any sheets if needed and wash. I don’t mind your loved ones sleeping with me if you let them. I actually prefer it! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I’m available any day of the week, and I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for. As long as I have notice, I’m happy to stay overnight and provide consistent care. I may need to step out for up to 3 hours a day if needed, but I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave. Caring for animals brings me so much joy—it truly doesn’t feel like a routine, it feels like a passion. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I follow any specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of love and attention, and always make sure they’re emotionally cared for, not just physically. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like you never left—and to treat your home with the same respect and care as I do your pets. I do charge for meet and greets if I have to make a trip. You will need to request this as a drop in for the gas and time. I do charge for approved and scheduled sittings that are canceled and disputes will be handled through Rover.

I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available on for boarding on weekend, and weekdays after 9am to 7pm for starters and see how it goes… I'd love to help with pet-sitting! But I have three dogs of my own, so I'm unable to stay overnight. However, I'd be happy to do drop-in visits to check on your dogs anytime. I'm available for afternoon visits, or whatever works best for you. Let me know if you'd like me to come by for a visit!

About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.

About: I’ve trained and taken care of many pets in the past and I love animals so much I figured it would be a great idea to pet sit for multiple people and pets. I understand that all pets have different personalities, just let me know and I will do whatever is needed to keep them comfortable and happy. I will care for your pet like it’s my own, I consider myself to be good with all types of pets. I’ll run around with them in the yard or if they like being lazy in the house, that’s okay too! I’m able to care for puppies, old, huge, little, sick, or hyper. I can’t wait to meet and care for your pets!! I am currently self employed so my schedule is very flexible! I will have plenty of time to care for your pups as much as you/they need! I have found that pups have less anxiety when they’re in their own home but I am more than willing to provide pet care in my home! Also I know pricing on here can be a little weird, we can discuss whatever is comfortable for you.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lafayette

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 148 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 with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
