“Camila did a wonderful job watching my cat and administering her medication. She was responsive to my last-minute scheduling request and provided detailed daily updates. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I've cared for my own dog for most of my life and have always had a strong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that's going on walks, playing, giving them attention, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also volunteer at local animal shelters, where I help walk dogs and spend time with them. Working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels has helped me become patient, attentive, and confident in caring for pets. I genuinely love being around animals and look forward to treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm currently studying Elementary Education and spend my weekdays in elementary schools during the day. Because of this, I'm primarily available in the evenings and at night. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with dogs is one of my favorite ways to unwind after a busy day. Whether your pet needs an evening walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra companionship, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide the best care possible. I'm attentive during walks, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience where your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times.
“Sheree was a wonderful cat sitter! She was very flexible and great with our cat. Her check-ins were detailed and our cat seemed very happy! She went above and beyond. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I feel as if animals have always loved me. Neighbors and family friends have always asked me to take care of their pets because they know I will do a good job at caring for their animals while also being responsible and mess free. I am open to compromise with my prices and promise that I will give you a bang for your buck. I have always had animals in my home and have cared greatly for them. I aspire to be a vet tech and enjoy volunteering at my local humane society. Because of my school schedule I prefer not to stay the night at houses, however I am willing if it is only for a small couple nights. I have lots of love to give for your 4 legged babies! I am currently a student at Purdue University, studying Veterinary Technology, so I have somewhat of a flexible schedule. I can almost guarantee care not only in the evenings, but also in the mornings. I have a car accessible on campus, and have managed pet care for others and college courses before, and find that it is easily balanced for me. I prefer not to stay the night at homes because of my school schedule, however am willing if it’s only for a small couple of nights. I care for pets in my home by ensuring my undivided attention as much as possible. Not only will I be there to care for your pet, I will also be there to love your pet. Being with animals is a true passion that has always been with me, and I can get along easily with any pet! I am responsible and stick to any feeding schedule that you may have, and I also love going on walks with pets or playing fetch with doggies!
“Gabrielle was wonderful with our two small dogs — especially the shy one who she won over easily! Very prompt, kind and great at keeping us up to date throughout the day. A highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of my parents senior dog in my home while they were out of town. Helped a former coworker with her dog, also in my home, while she was out of town. I have helped a friend of mine with their senior dog + 4 cats in their home as drop in visits while they were out of town. Since starting Rover, I have had multiple in home stays with dogs, and homes that have both dogs and cats. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. My morning routine includes leaving the house by 7:00 AM to take my child to daycare or school. Before departing, all pets in my care are taken outside, fed, and provided with any necessary medications. Depending on the proximity of your home, I may be available to stop by during my lunch break to check on and care for your pet. After work, I pick up my child from daycare and can typically arrive at your home around 5:00 PM. Upon arrival, dogs will be taken outside promptly and fed as needed. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific care needs or scheduling. I care for pets with the same level of attention and compassion as I do my own. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and administer any required medications as directed. Dogs are taken outside regularly for bathroom breaks and exercise, and I make time to play and engage with them to keep them happy and active. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes in addition to providing consistent feeding, fresh water, and attentive care. I also enjoy offering treats when permitted; my daughter especially loves helping to give treats, making it a fun and positive experience for your pet.
“Abigayl was so awesome with my cat! I could tell he really loved seeing her everyday and she gave him plenty of attention and cuddles. She was so communicative and I appreciate her so much”
“Chelsea took a great care of our cat while we were on a trip. She also shared lots of photos of our cat during the drop in visits, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Chelsea!”
“Katherine was able to book with us last minute due to a family emergency and was willing to meet the dogs within 24 hours of our booking. She handled our dogs well (they jump a lot with new people) and took tons of cute pictures. She offered to help with taking out our trash while we were out of town and had great overall communication with us. We would definitely rebook with her!”
About: I have taken care of multiple pets at a single time while handling health issues in those pets. As well I have housesat for multiple cats and I love taking care of pets of any kind!! Currently I am working in a lab during the week and work around 9-5 in West Lafayette and stay there and then the weekends I am fully free in Indianapolis I am able to do whatever routines your dog or cat is used to and walk them as much as they want and / or need!
About: Hi! I'm a Purdue student and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, beginning with pet sitting for neighbors and family friends at age 10. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering care and monitoring pets with seizure disorders. I understand how important it is to have someone attentive, reliable, and calm when your pet requires extra support. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would be at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, regular visits, and timely communication. I carefully manage my commitments to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I strive to maintain their normal routine and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including seizure disorders, and understand the importance of attentiveness, punctuality, and clear communication. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised appropriately, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.
“Mariana did a great job caring for Cosmo - taking him out for walks and to do his business. She also made sure he got his meds and followed up and got our house key back to us in a timely fashion.”
“Aurianna is great with my two dogs. They really seem to like her being here. She is professional and her communication is excellent. It is great piece of mind to know my dogs are taken care of on my long days at work.”
About: I have 5 years experience in pet care ranging from house sitting to kennel/daycare. I can administer oral and topical medications. I understand consistency is key when pups are in-training and will practice their skills with them. I love dogs and strive for the best so you can rest! I have a full time job and have a set schedule for the most part. Small changes are not rare. I am available weekends and week days after 4:30pm. I believe that your animal is a family member. And in my experience, dogs are not too far off from toddlers. Like toddlers, dogs need enrichment, attention/affection, and routine.
About: I've had dogs and cats growing up my entire life. I absolutely love animals and would love the opportunity to meet yours! We currently have our cat, Piper, and Boston Terrier, Pongo. I work from home, so I would be home all day with your animals. I'm able to take breaks whenever for potty breaks, and we have a small, fenced in, front yard. Our complex also has a lot of walking pathes & with permission we love taking pets for longer walks around the area. We did recently move from Indiana to North Carolina, so please note we are now located in North Carolina for services. We live in a 3 bedroom townhome with a small fenced in front yard. We have plenty of sidewalks for walking & are just beside a larger dog park as well. My husband and I work together, so we are able to always be attentive to your pets needs.
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my cats when I was away for an extended period. She sent me photos of her playing with them every day, and even got my shy girl to trust her and come for cuddles! I would recommend Allison to anyone and will always use her again in the future”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Lafayette
I hired Elise for drop-in visits when my current pet sitter wasn't available at a certain time for my vacation. Elise quickly got back to me and found a way to make it work. She was an absolute lifesaver! I have a special-needs diabetic cat, and Elise immediately put me at ease. She took extra time to prepare beforehand, asked questions, and welcomed me walking her through our routine on day one. She was incredibly sweet, gentle, and comfortable handling Cheeto’s insulin injections, blood glucose meter, and liquid oral medication. She followed every detailed care instruction, including monitoring blood glucose safety thresholds before administering insulin and using appetite toppers when needed. She never rushed her visits, spent quality time sitting with Cheeto, and left detailed, reassuring visit notes. She even thoughtfully returned Cheeto’s care guide at the end. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience on Rover. Thank you, Elise! :)
Beth was terrific as always. Was very quick to complete all necessary tasks while also spending ample time giving our kittos love and attention. Beth even brought in some packages that were delivered to our door while we were out of town! Could not recommend Beth more!
Dannie was fantastic with our cats (and with us!) Over the course of a week she took care of our 2 cats, feeding, water, litter, play, etc. She provided nice daily updates. She even got pictures of both of our cats (one was easy; the other tends to hide from strangers, so it's impressive that she got him to come out enough for a shot or two). Overall, Dannie was great. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
Abigayl took good care of my cats while I was out of town, and I can back to happy cats. She was quick to reach out if she had any questions (I didn't leave clear instructions to wear a medication was placed), and she made sure to play with the kitties every day. Would recommend booking with her.
Rachel was amazing and made my first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. She was super responsive, flexible with scheduling, and incredibly kind. It was clear right away that my cat would be in great hands. She sent multiple photos and thoughtful updates after every visit, which meant a lot to me while I was away. On top of that, I had a travel issue come up and needed a last-minute visit with very little notice. Rachel responded quickly and even helped take care of the booking when I didn’t have service or availability to do so. I truly can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Kath has been wonderful with Billie. I truly appreciate how flexible and reliable she is, which makes scheduling much easier and less stressful. Knowing that she is a veterinary technician gives me extra confidence, especially when it comes to administering medications correctly and safely. Most importantly, she is someone I genuinely trust and feel secure leaving Billie with. I highly recommend her.
Katelyn did wonderfully watching our cat while we were gone! We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected. She was happy to schedule more visits and work with our travel schedule. Highly recommend, and my kitty clearly loved the time she devoted to cuddles!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Lafayette on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
