“Matthew was incredibly attentive to all of our critters needs and even took our pup for a little extra long walk. He is very pleasant and communicative which was so helpful for our last minute booking. I would recommend him without hesitation!”

About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.
“Tonali was a pleasure to work with! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our two cats were being well taken care of. It was always nice when we would receive pictures of pets to let us know how they were doing. Tonali also watered our plants and brought in packages left at the door. We will definitely be using her again in the future!!”

“Virginia rocks. My dog loves her:) second stay with her. she’s communicative, takes wonderful photos, and reaches out when she has questions. Definitely will request her in the future!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have had a cat for 13 years. I have been put in charge several times for taking care of my pets, along with the pets of family friends when they are gone and have never had any problems. I am currently a student at Colorado Mesa University and am an elite athlete (cyclist). I am very flexible with scheduling on my available days! Unfortunately I won’t be able to provide care for your pets at my home, but I am willing to drive anywhere to accommodate to your needs.
“Kristy was fantastic with our kitties! She helped us out last minute when my husband had emergency eye surgery & it was great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for & in good hands. Excellent communication & fun pics, as well as feeding them their wet food & fresh water. Would have her back in a heartbeat! Til next time, take care & be well Kristy!”

“If you are like me and dread leaving your cat(s) at all, and feel like your requests are complicated and overly-attached - well, don't! Just book Christyn. We have two Ragdolls who we shower with attention all day working at home and don't leave too often. Christyn stepped in and helped out 2x/day with play, feeding, picking up after them and some brushing and observing for behavior. I felt great after the first "report card." We are getting a puppy soon too and look forward to her loving on the new addition next time we need to get away. Thanks for keeping them safe, loved, stimulated and with a reliable routine!”


About: I grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of animals including many dogs and cats that I adored. Specifically, we had a couple of German Shepherd dogs that required daily activity. I also went to school and graduated with a degree in Animal Science which focuses on Animal Husbandry. I have experience with basic obedience training along with administering medications to all types of animals. I have a full time job that allows me to work remotely a couple days during the week so I can do drop ins during the day if needed. My weekends are generally available to do overnights. I would be happy to accomodate any schedule needs you might have. I will be able to pick up on and monitor your pets behavior to ensure their safety. I am able to create a structured but friendly environment for those pets that need it.
“Dylan was the perfect cat sitter! Communicative, professional, kind, punctual, and great attention to detail. Our kitties were well taken care of, fed, played with, and very tidy litter box area. We will definitely work with Dylan again!”

About: I have years of experience with “bully” breeds, and elderly dog care. I am good with walking dogs of all sizes and training levels. I have walked multiple dogs at a time, and love being outdoors so if your dog wants a long walk, they’ll get a long walk with me! I am able to set my own schedule in advance at my job to ensure I have the proper time to care for your loved ones. Animals aren’t just pets, they’re apart of your family and should be treated as such. When I am taking care of your fur-babies, they will receive ny full attention and support!

About: I’ve house sat, and dog sat for many friends, and family members. I am reliable and professional. I love animals and want to help whenever I can! I work as a dental assistant from Monday to Thursday. I’m available before and after work, and Friday through Sunday all day! I am available to stay the night if needed. I want to keep your pets happy and healthy! I would love to keep them in their regular routine as much as possible while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. I’ve always had a love for dogs. I’ve cared for my own dogs and others. In my 20s, when I was still working part-time, I housesat and pet sat frequently. I work from home full-time. When I leave the house to run errands I am not typically gone more than a couple of hours at a time. I live in an apartment but go on walks in the evenings with my kids. My kids and I love dogs but don’t own one at the moment. We don’t own any pets at the moment. We would love to help care for someone else’s pup until we get our own!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them independently since I was 14 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs while they were away. I recently lost my own dog, which made me realize how much I truly love being around them. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs different levels of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, and just simply having a buddy. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide probably too many photos and updates. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time as a private caregiver for an elderly couple. I have lots of free time and I do my best to accommodate each dog’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding routines, feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules.
“Claire did an outstanding job taking care of Mochi for two days in a row. She was incredibly professional, responsible, and attentive throughout the entire time. She kept me updated regularly, followed all instructions carefully, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mochi and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Claire with Mochi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies for the past ten years! I have experiencing taking care of animals while house sitting for long stretches of time. I love getting outside, walking, and running with dogs! I am reliable, gentle, and love getting to share new connections with animals. It would be so great to take care of your animal babies! I'm currently in grad school but have significant room for walking, dropping in, and overnight stays. My schedule is mostly busy during the days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have time in the morning, evening, and afternoons. I stick to what each owner/parent prefers. As for my dog, he is really good about recall so we are able to let him run around the backyard without fencing. When we walk on trail he is mostly on leash unless we are in the backcountry. Again, I stick to what each owner prefers for their animal baby!
About: I've fostered and adopted many animals, including those with medical conditions and treatments. I'm passionate about senior dog care and love ❤️, but I love all animals. From snuggles to special diets, medications, exercise, PT, walks, mental stimulation, and playtime, I'm up for it all. I currently work full time but will be transitioning to a remote job from home. I feed my dog in the morning before work and have a 2 hour morning routine, then break for lunch for feeding, bathroom and snuggles, and then dinner and bathroom after work at 5pm and play in evening time. When working from home, I take frequent breaks to walk and stimulate my buddies. I have a lovely middle-aged shih tzu named "Princess Peach" who is a great companion and dog and cat host. My house is a 2 bedroom ranch style home with basement in a terrific walkable neighborhood. I have a backyard with a chain link fence along a residential street. I have a reliable car and can lift and transport large and small animals with care. I'm attentive and observant and observe all rules of clients' homes. I'm very respectful of others' spaces and clean up immediately after any mess.

About: I've been doing Rover as a side gig every summer for a few years. I work as a teacher and love filling my summers walking dogs. I have a senior aged cat who is the laziest cuddle bug in the whole world. I also have a rescue German Sherpherd mix who I adore but has needed a lot of work over the years. All this to say, I have a strong understanding of the spectrum of needs your pet may have and come with the experience to take care of your animal as if they are my own. I have summers off, so my availability is very open until I return to school in August. During the school year, I would mainly be available for pet sitting or walks on weekends. I follow owners’ instructions closely and make sure pets stay on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they are my own by giving them lots of attention, care, patience, and a safe environment while their owners are away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lyons stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Lyons 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Lyons with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
