“Barb did a wonderful job visiting our 3 kitties this week. She was prompt and thorough. She dealt with some messes and even took out/in our trash and recyclable bins while she was here. Very pleased with Barb and will certainly rebook in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I work full-time in grocery retail, typically on the early morning shift. This means I am completely done with work by mid-afternoon and have the rest of the day, evening, and night entirely open to focus on your pet! For house sitting or boarding, your pet will be safely left for an 8-hour stretch during the day while I am at the store, but they will get plenty of exercise and attention before I leave and the absolute maximum amount of love, long walks, and playtime the moment I get home. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.

About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.

“Julia was wonderful to work with and I will definitely book with her again. She followed our instructions for animal care and provided photos and updates at each visit. All communication was prompt and professional. Our animals were happy and safe on our return. Something necessary unexpectedly broke on her first day and she was still able to find a way to do what needed to be done despite the challenge -and she let me know. She is an incredibly kind person. I felt like I was leaving a trusted friend to care for my animals and home, which I deeply appreciate as this was the first time we’ve hired this type of care. I strongly recommend her!”

“Lacy was the best with my two cats!! She arrived on time, followed the list of stuff I wanted her to do perfectly (my cats require special feeding instructions), was very communicative before/during/after, and I really enjoyed the pictures she took of my babies! I was also very surprised that my one cat warmed up to her instantly and even smelled her hand on the first introduction - she had a traumatic past and usually takes a few days to warm up to ppl. I definitely recommend Lacy and re-book with her in the future!”

About: Hi - My name is Lexi and I've grown up with dogs my whole life! In college, I even volunteered at the local animal shelter to help exercise and play with the dogs there until they found loving homes. Currently, I have two Golden Retrievers named Jeter (9 years old) and Leo (7 years old). We're a super active family and our favorite place to be is outdoors - especially in the summer when we can go boating and swim together. I truly believe dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such. I also know how challenging it can be balancing work and fur babies so I'm here to help others and the special pups in their lives with drop-in visits or walks at affordable rates. I am currently raising three kids along with our two dogs, so weekends or after hours are best in terms of flexibility. I’m here to give those who are away traveling or just need the extra support without the added stress. ’m available on weekends to help those who want to travel or need extra support without the added stress. I can easily crate your dog, fill up their water bowl and give them a treat after their walk with me. I’ll also ensure they are properly secured with their appropriate harness as needed.

This is the second time we have had Lyle check on our cat while out of town, and he has been great both times. He made sure to play with her a lot to get her energy out, was attentive to the status of her food and water, and sent us lots of pics with each check in. Would definitely recommend him.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lyon Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lyon Township is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 4,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lyon Township. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyon Township. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
