About: I’ve had animals growing up, and been relied on by neighbors and friends to take care of theirs when they take trips. These include going over to feed them, walk them, and make sure they got company while the family was away! I enjoy taking care of animals when I can, which is why I love pet sitting and meeting more people around the area of Morgantown. My schedule is pretty flexible with notice, so can work with you on time and dates through excellent communication. I have an apartment that is animal friendly with a roommate that loves dogs and cats! We’re a household that enjoys each others company and will provide a warm environment for your pets.
“Camila was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and communicated well. I loved the pictures and notes she posted. She sure made our trip worry free regarding our dog. I highly recommend her!”
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.
“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”
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.
About: Six years of experience and 5 star ranking as a dog walker on Wag! Passionate about caring for pets and ensuring the pet’s health and safety! Currently I am transitioning roles/only working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I love taking time for pets—I often schedule it into my routine :) I will gladly ensure that your home is well cared for and I respect your space! I’ve worked for several years as a dog walker / done overnight visits—I always leave the space in great condition! I will clean up after your pets and ensure no mess is left!
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve loved being around and tending to animals since I was a little girl. I had dogs and cats my whole life (except for right now) and have loved learning to meet their needs! I am a part-time social worker at a local non-profit organization. I am also beginning online grad school to become a therapist. With both of these commitments, I primarily work from home. My weeks are pretty flexible! I live in a home with a fenced backyard and room for pets to play and be active! I currently have no permanent pets here. I am eager to travel to homes to provide company, activity, and care to pets!
“Jason is an excellent dog care person. We’ve had two days in a row and are so pleased! Our dog is not easy, and Jason spent time helping him relax and teaching us some canine psychology! We will continue to utilize Jason.”
“Been using Sheree for a few weeks now, I love that I found someone I can trust with my dog. She’s very very shy and scared of strangers and many other things out in this world. The first day Sheree took the time to just get to know her and sit down with her so she’s comfortable with her presence. She continues to take it low with my dog Kya and understands that some days she goes backwards in her progress of not being scared. I always get detailed messages about each visit and pictures/videos! And I can certainly tell how comfortable Kya has gotten with her just from the pictures/videos. I’ve always been hesitant about having someone I didn’t initially know take care of my fur babies, but I absolutely 1000/10 recommend using Sheree!”
“Ms. Jamie is always so excellent with Bronx. He’s been with her for daycare once and then she’s taken him on plenty of walks. She’s very respectful of your needs as well as your dogs needs and Bronx absolutely adores her. She goes above and beyond for your pets as if they are her own. Wish we could use her all the time!”
About: I am a wildlife biologist, and I graduated Purdue University with a Bachelor's in Wildlife. I enjoy all animals, including dogs! From having pets and working professionally and causally with animals my whole life, I have a great sense of animal behavior, awareness of common pet health and safety issues, and extreme attention to detail. I look forward to spoiling your four-legged friend and keeping them happy and safe! Please message me, and we can figure out dates and times! For the first couple weeks of August 2026 I am available at any time! I am often available on weekdays and weekends. I am applying to grad school at this time, so I will be at home for awhile so I am able to supervise your cat/dog. I love hiking and walking, so exercising your cat/dog is easy!
“Katelyn is very nice and reliable. I totally felt comfortable asking her to walk my older dog on my long days at work, and Ivy seemed pretty relaxed when I came home after work.”
“Emily was fantastic with Luly! She arrived exactly on time, which was extremely appreciated, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the walk. Her patience and attentiveness made me feel confident that Luly was in great hands, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”
About: I studied pre veterinarian medicine for a few years! I’m enamoured with animals! Dogs are my favorite! I’m heavily available during the week and most weekends! I hope that I can help with your fur babies! I can be contacted at anytime for any questions or requests you may have! I had many experiences with all kinds of animals during my mentorship at Purdue, so I have patience and willingness to help and provide whatever kind of care you need! I’m very respectful of animals and I feel that they do have emotions and their own spirit! Dogs have always been in my heart! Given the opportunity, I’m extremely excited to be able to play with and get to know your animals! Thanks for your time!
About: I always try my best to follow the dog's routines and specific needs just as the owner requests. I also like to take them on frequent walks to help them adjust more quickly to a new environment. I'm currently home with my kids, so I have lots of time to spend playing with your pups. I'm also usually available for weekend boarding. I have a fenced back yard area where your pup could run around and play. Also I have separate half basement play area for kids and pups.
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.
About: My name is Sydney M. I am a sweet and loving 25 year old girl. Born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. I have 2 dogs of my own, I have had dogs my whole life! I love them! Love going on walks and playing with animals. I adore cats and dogs, mainly little dogs because big dogs frighten me a little bit... if they are well trained and don’t tug on the leash while walking, they are okay! Available anytime everyday, I have another job at platos closet, but I’m mostly free for the most part. I would love to walk them anytime it makes me happy:) I am very flexible!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Lafayette
Abby was available with very short notice, less than 12 hours while we were in her town visiting family. Just had her do a qui Ck one time lunch walk for us. She communicated well, asked questions about our dog’s personality, checked in frequently, and shared pictures and videos with us. Excellent choice for our first time using Rover! 10/10 recommend her!
Joyce has been an absolute gift to both us and our dog. She is dependable, kind, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog’s personality and needs, and it shows in every interaction. Joyce communicates well, is consistently reliable, and gives us real peace of mind knowing our dog is in such capable hands. Beyond simply walking dogs, she genuinely cares for the animals she works with, and that level of trust is hard to find. We highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and compassionate dog walker.
I can’t recommend this Mia enough! My dog has separation anxiety and have accidents frequently, and she has handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. She never made it feel like an inconvenience and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and cared for. What really stood out to me was the extra effort she put in, especially taking the time to clean up accidents even though it wasn’t her responsibility. That level of care and professionalism meant so much to me and gave me real peace of mind. She is reliable, communicative, and always sent updates that showed how attentive and compassionate she is. It’s clear she genuinely care about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!!
Azure was absolutely amazing with Furgie! She sent the cutest photos throughout the walk, which truly made my day and gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient with him the first time she picked him up. Furgie was a little bit scared seeing someone new, but she took the time to calm him down, and it was clear from the beginning that Furgie really liked her and felt comfortable around her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I only wish she were available more often, but I know that is because she has classes, but any time Azure is available, I would 100% hire her again without thinking twice. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter! Thank you for leaving the Polaroid photos of Furgie. That’s so sweet of you. I loved it 😍💖
Damon is a top notch caretaker of my two big old boys. He is always on time when he picks them up for walks, he takes thorough notes about all their potty stops, he adds pictures and a summary of each walk. He really makes me feel close to my babies when I’m gone. I cannot recommend Damon highly enough for dog walks.

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Lafayette on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 your West Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in West Lafayette.

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 West Lafayette. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
