“Zack an amazing dog walker/ dog BFF. Mason is a rescue and is very scared of his surroundings still. He is 10 month I had just got him. Zack was so patient with at our meet and greet. He didn't leave until Mason was okay with him. Now Mason really likes Zach and the cats adore him. I'm so happy I found Zack. Wouldn't want anyone else.”
About: What sets me apart is that I am caring, patient, responsible, and dependable. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I am happy to follow their routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away.☺️ Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and regular check-ins. I’m reliable and organized, so I can follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with different schedules and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. (I can’t stay ower night) 😕 I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their individual routines. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. If caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed.🙏
“Serena did a great job caring for our 3 goats while we were away on a long trip. She was always quick to respond, let us know about any issues occurring, and provided daily pictures. We would definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I love animals and I’ve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that I’ve had for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so it’s perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that I’m sure your dog would love the company. Also, I’m willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.

I work from home and have my office in the front room of my house. I am able to be home with any animals that I am watching. I am able to take animals for walks and play with them throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard so they have access to go outside at any time and I do have a doggie door. I have a fenced in yard and a dog named Bryzzo. He is extremely loved and cared for. I would treat your pet like I treat my what I own.

I am available for drop in visits and dog walking/activities with pets. I am happy to provide recreation and enrichment activities in your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Lafayette
We were very nervous leaving our fur baby home for the first time. Jamie was wonderful, she spoiled our Penny and sent tons of pictures. It was a great experience for both pup and parents. Our son loved getting to see his dog each night before bed and felt like he didn't miss her as much as when we've boarder her in the past. We will definitely be using Jamie again if we can't take Penny with us or habe grandparents babysit!
Sophia did an excellent job caring for our two miniature schnauzers, Schatzi and Frieda, while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, communicative, and provided regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and happy. We came home to two well-cared-for dogs, and the entire experience was stress-free from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Sophia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Grace is wonderful! We had some last-minute changes to our holiday plans, and she was able to accommodate these on late notice. Grace did a great job of checking in on our "fur baby", and is so kind and caring. Our dog had a great time with Grace! We highly recommend her and will contact her again when we have future out-of-town trips :)

The average cost of Dog Sitting in West Lafayette is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Lafayette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Lafayette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
