About: I enjoy spending time and playing with dogs. I genuinely love their personalities. I have experience with both younger and older dogs. I currently have two ten year-olds who were rescues. I also have experience administering medication via pill if need be. My week days are currently very flexible. Ideally I can do short visits or spend some time with your dog. This is ideal for long day trips where your dog is unable to come along for the ride. My two dogs are treated with the utmost respect. They are fed well, have a fenced in backyard that I built for them, and spend much quality time with my wife and I. I strive to provide the same treatment for your pet when I visit with them.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11yo. I’ve cared for Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Rat Terriers, Cairn Terriers, Papillions, Irish Wolfhounds and more. I have four dogs now: German Shepherd Mix, German Shorthaired Pointer, and two Pembroke Corgis. I’m familiar with small and large dogs. I’m non-judgmental and understanding if your baby has separation-anxiety. I’m currently looking for work so am completely open to do drop-ins during the day, walks, and more. I can also watch your dog at your place or mine! I have a fully-fenced in yard and four dogs who would love a playmate. I have two kennels, and can kennel your dog if need be. I also offer baths depending on length of stay.
“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: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I offer a warm home where your dog becomes part of the family. I live with two friendly, playful resident pups who love meeting new friends—so your dog will always have companionship, social time, and plenty of snuggles. I accept dogs on the furniture (couches = cuddle central!), follow your pup’s routine closely, and create a calm, personalized experience tailored to their needs. Whether your dog requires daily medication, struggles with anxiety, or just wants a cozy, loving place to relax while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time on our property. More land = more sniffing adventures. I only care for a few dogs at a time so I can give each one the love and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, affection, and lots of tail wags! I live in a one level house with only about 4 steps to get into the front for any senior dogs. 📝 Things to Know • No fenced yard, but we play regularly • Dogs allowed on furniture • Two playful, friendly resident dogs • Comfortable with meds & special needs. • Flexible pick-up/drop-off • I care for only a few dogs at a time for high-quality, focused attention Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I plan my days around the dogs! I work from home and rarely gone for long spurts. We stick to a consistent routine that includes morning and evening meals, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Your pup will get plenty of attention, structure, and affection every single day, just like my own dogs do. I provide a calm and loving environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, meds, and crate use (if preferred). Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and they’ll have my two friendly pups as built-in companions for play and company. I keep the home clean, cozy, and supervised, so every dog feels like part of the family.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lafayette stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
