You need to get and count a repeater before you loop over the repeater with have_rows(). Trying to count the rows while inside the have_rows() loop for that repeater will have unexpected results.

$count = count(get_field('repeater_field_name') );
if (have_rows('repeater_field_name') {
  // code continues

For this reason you need to test the repeater before you try to count it.

$count = 0;
$repeater = get_field('repeater_field_name');
if (!empty($repeater)) {
  $count = count($repeater);
}
if (have_rows('repeater_field_name') {
  // code continues
