“Hunter is a total rockstar! We are incredibly grateful for her services. Hunter is efficient, reliable, friendly, and excellent communicator. She treated Milo like her own family and this made us so comfortable and happy. Hunter went above and beyond for us :)”


“Peyton arrived on time and my dog got along fine with her on their first walk together. My dog is still learning leash training and Peyton had no problem dealing with her pulling. It's very apparent that Peyton has had a lot of experience with dogs.”

About: I’ve had dogs since i was a baby, always been one of my favorite things. I’ve been told i’m an animal whisperer and have a special connection with pets i don’t even know! I’m currently a part time worker, i’d have plenty of time to take care of and watch your animals. l don’t spend much time away from home max would be 4-5hrs on certain days. I’m overly open with pets being out around the house, they can be crated if needed of course. I have a small fenced area but a leash would still be needed preferably due to my neighbors dogs.
About: I'm a third-year veterinary student who is home for the summer offering multiple pet care services. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember — I started pet sitting when I was 12 and have been lucky to care for so many wonderful pets over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, horses and cows. Studying veterinary medicine has only deepened my passion for making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. As a veterinary student, I feel comfortable working with pets who have special needs and medical care. I am familiar with giving medication to both dogs and cats. I’m passionate about providing knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently in 4th year rotations for vet school so my schedule can get busy but I do have availability most evenings and weekends. I do not have the capabilities to house a pet at my home but I am willing to accommodate all of the owners needs in their home.
About: Hello, my name is Kim, and I have spent most of my life in Roanoke, VA along with a few years in Florida. I am available full-time to care for your pets. I have extensive experience with larger dogs, having raised a Rottweiler, Cane Corso, and now a Golden Retriever. Previously, I worked at City Dogs in SW Roanoke, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Although I started by pet sitting for family, I now have my own home with a fenced in backyard, allowing me to care for more dogs. As a full time online student at Virginia Western, I am home most of the time, providing flexible pick-up and drop-off times. While I prefer not to do pick-ups/drop-offs before 8 AM and after 10 PM, I understand that flights can be delayed and other circumstances arise, so I strive to accommodate your needs. For meet and greets, I try to be as flexible as possible, scheduling around my busy times to ensure a calm environment for your pet. Requirements: To ensure the health and safety of all pets in my care, I require up-to-date vaccination records for all dogs. This is non-negotiable, as the well being of all our guests is our top priority. My own pets vaccination records are available for your review on her . Feeding Schedule: Feeding times are typically around 8 AM and 6-7 PM, with an additional lunchtime feeding at 12-1 PM for those who eat three times a day. I am happy to adhere to your pet’s specific feeding schedule. Dogs are fed separately to prevent accidents, and I allow an hour of rest after eating to prevent bloating. Please inform me of any allergies, as I provide a variety of treats and enjoy making frozen lick pads. What to Bring: Please bring your dog’s food to avoid upsetting their stomach with a sudden change in diet. I do have extra food and I have my pup so we always have food just in case! Additionally, bringing a dog bed, blanket, or toys that smell like home can help them settle in. I have extra bowls, beds, and toys, so don’t worry if you can’t bring everything. I do have a crate, if your dog is crate trained or prefers to sleep in it. Daily Routine: My goal is to keep the dogs happy and stimulated. We aim for 6-8 hours of outdoor play and socialization, with indoor cool down periods to prevent overheating. I also play soothing music to help anxious dogs relax. Treats are given after cool down periods, and we use this time to practice commands and keep them mentally engaged. Important Note: I do not accept dogs or puppies who are not up to date on vaccinations!! The well being of our guests is our priority! We do not want to risk any sick pups! I am also privately insured through Pet Care Insurance or PCI. For visits, please use the doorbell rather than knocking, as it helps keep the dogs calm. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I stay at home pretty much 24/7. I don’t work a job other than pet sitting. I am accepting dogs all days of the week! I have my own four bedroom house. The house has two empty rooms in case of boarding which I do let dogs on furniture. Also, if I don’t have a lot of dogs we all usually pile into one room. I have a fenced in backyard as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. From pet sitting, walking, and senior pet care. I am attentive and loving to all types of pets. I am currently on summer break from college, so my schedule is entirely flexible. I own a car and can commute to you anytime or day. I provide boarding, dog walking, and drop in services. Dogs in my care get frequent walks, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals, dogs and cats, since childhood. I’m very comfortable around animals, and love helping them get the care and attention they need. I am a stay at home mom, so this fits into an already open schedule. I’m available mornings and afternoons with my son joining me. I treat every animal with respect and love. I look to the owner for specific desires of care since it is your pet I’m watching!

About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I have experience with everything from horses, to wolf-dogs, down to cockatoos and fish! I live a pretty active lifestyle, and love taking my guy out for runs and adventuring/hiking around the area. I would love to go exploring with your pups! I absolutely adore animals and treat them all with the utmost respect. I have experience with both puppies as well as senior dogs and have been around animals all my life. I started young with family pets and have recently within the past 4 years gotten one of my own! I own a Husky, German Shepherd/Malamute who's my big ole baby Potato! He's absolutely my whole life and if you can imagine it wasn't easy finding someone who was able to watch him without the help of Rover, which is why I wanted to also contribute and try and help others out because it's saved me in a bind or two! I don't mind larger dogs or high energy as my guy is the same way! I'd love to meet you and your pup, what girl can resist a couple of good boys?! I currently work part time with my grandparents taking care of them in their golden years so my hours are flexible and I’m happy to help out whenever I can, and will guarantee you a quick response! I currently do not offer care in my home, however, I would love to come to yours! I am very conscious of other people's homes and how comfortable your pets will be in the safety of their own space!
About: When it comes to dog care, I've got it covered! From energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs, I’ve spent years perfecting my pup-pleasing skills. I'm a pro at administering medication, keeping coats shiny with basic grooming, and ensuring tails are always wagging. My dedication to tailoring care to each dog’s unique needs is unmatched - no paw left behind! With me, your furry friend will receive the utmost love and care. As a dedicated pet sitter and full-time college student, I've crafted a paw-fect schedule to balance my studies with the needs of your furry friends. I'm always ready to give your pets the care and attention they deserve, offering early morning visits, evening visits, and overnight stays throughout the week. And when the weekend rolls around, my schedule is wide open for tail-ored care. No matter what your pet's routine looks like, I'm excited to work with you to create a purr-sonalized care plan that keeps those tails wagging and kitty purrs going! Ensuring the safety, trust, and comfort of both pets and pet owners is my top priority. Although I'm unable to welcome furry friends into my own home, I'm more than happy to visit your pets in the comfort of their familiar surroundings, where they feel most at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I pledge to maintain a clean and organized environment, keeping any designated areas tidy and secure. I respect your privacy and personal space, and I take my responsibility as a pet sitter seriously. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost care and attention. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing atmosphere where your pets can thrive, and I look forward to providing the best possible care for your beloved companions.

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own!

I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger. It began with dog sitting until I convinced my parents to allow us to get our own dog. We now have 3 dogs and I have a cat on my own. I also worked at a doggy day care where I took care of up to 20-30 dogs alone at times. I love animals of all kinds and would love to help people would may not have the most time or availability some days to give their pet optimal care! I just graduated college and am looking for a part-time job in the mean time before I start graduate school in the summer. I have full availability all days as of right now.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 615 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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 Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lafayette after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lafayette. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 sitter’s 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, 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.
