Doggy Day Care Lyons

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, starting with training and walking my first dog, which helped me develop patience, consistency, and a strong understanding of trust. I later co-parented a high-needs dog, gaining experience with behavior management, individual care needs, and medication administration. Throughout my life, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals, and I pride myself on being dependable, calm, and attentive. I also live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or outdoor adventures if that’s something they enjoy. I currently work part time in a hybrid role, and I love to fill some of my time caring for pups! I can’t wait to find out how I can support. My clean and spacious home is the perfect landing space for your pup between walks, potty breaks, rides around town, higher intensity hikes, or whatever activities your dog enjoys the most. Your dog will have the freedom to roam where they please, sit with me on the couch, or insist upon another walk. I pride myself on my attention to detail and risk management when it comes to any environment your dog and I are sharing, while optimizing fun and enrichment. Conveniently located next to a trail and several parks, we will have no shortage of excellent places to jaunt and play!

“Mary is great!!! We love how excited Thunder is when he gets to go to play at her house! Mary is professional and straight forward. Thunder comes home ready for bed after a long day playing with his friends. We know that Thunder will be well taken care of when he is with Mary instead of his family. Thank you so much ?”

“Thank you so much, Doug, for caring for Ozzy today! I'm so glad you were available. Ozzy loves you and Bear! You're a very caring sitter! Thanks again!”

“Christine was fantastic and Lulu had a great time playing with Hondo! Lulu is a very anxious dog—Christine was understanding of her needs and Lulu warmed to her within just this first daycare visit. I’ll definitely be booking again and grateful to have another spot where I know Lu will be happy and wonderfully cared for.”

About: My partner and I have taken care of dogs our whole lives! We pet every dog we see and would love the opportunity to befriend your pup!! Julia works from home and loves to take walk breaks! We usually do two long ones or three shorter ones a day. We also have an amazing backyard that our dog loves to sniff around and play in. In our house we love to cuddle with our dog and spend time cooking. As Julia is home during the day, she always checks in on dogs we care for regularly for pets and yard breaks!

About: My goal is to give you true peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is safe and well cared for. I provide a loving and fun home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard that’s perfect for playing outside, soaking up the sun, and getting plenty of fresh air. There's also a park nearby for regular walks. Briscoe, my Jack Russell mix, is always excited to make new friends to play tug-of-war with him or chase squirrels in the yard. Inside, there’s always time to unwind with cuddles on the couch after a fun day of activity. Because my work schedule is flexible, dogs are rarely left home alone. And if I do step out, it’s never for long stretches. Your pup will get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. My work schedule is flexible and my husband works from home 3 days a week. Meaning someone is almost always home to keep the dogs company. As an anxious pet parent, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can feel to be separated from your dog, so providing peace of mind is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure they get plenty of supervised play, exercise, and affection so their time away from you feels safe, comfortable, and fun.

“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”

About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 9 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.

“Jarrett is super nice and accommodating. My dog always has a great time playing with his dog and playing fetch. He comes home very tired and happy. I recommend Jarrett!”

About: I have over 15 years of dog caring experience, involving different breeds, ages, and personalities. My specialty is smaller doggies. My philosophy with care makes sure dogs get active time, park time, quality time, fun adventures, time with friends, and lots of affection. I make sure your doggy needs are met, being versatile with the activities we do while they stay at my place. As a mostly remote worker, I have a lot of flexibility and ample time to take your dog on walks and give them lots of care and attention, be it on the couch or outside. Doggies have access to water, clean bowls, toiletries, and all their basic needs. My entire place is dog-proofed, so hazard mitigation is present. Dogs have the opportunity of enjoying different surfaces based on their needs, including hardwood, carpet, rugs, and a comfy couch.

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.

“Amy was very kind and our dog, Tajar, loved her. Amy was available with short notice, and we definitely will be requesting her again.”

“Kim and Tony were wonderful. Lucy had a great experience. We could tell by her demeanor when we picked her up. She was a happy girl. Would highly recommend them. Even sent us an update without asking.”

About: Elizabeth (my wife) and I have lots of combined experience caring for other's pets. We also have 4 amazing dogs of our own. All of our pets were either adopted from the humane society or rehomed for a better life with us. Three of the them are senior dogs so Elizabeth and I know how to care for yours. Our fourth fur baby is young, energetic and loves to play. I trained up one of our dogs from 6 months old to behave wonderfully. The two of us have opposite schedules so there's very little of the day that your fur baby will be without our care and company! We have a fenced in yard with a park just around the corner. Our 4 dogs will keep yours company and is welcome to sleep right in the bed or on the couch.

“Bugsy( 10 year old Papillon) had a fabulous Friday at Sarahs. Lots of love, yard time, and healthy snacks. Ill be booking another play date in the near future. Highly recommend Sarah for your Doggy Day or Boarding!!”

“I’ve been a reoccurring client of Christine’s. She’s been a great pet sitter and friend to my pup. Christine is always accommodating and communicative. I receive several photos, videos and check-ins throughout each visit. I recommend Christine for any pet needs. My pup is always excited to see her and comes home tired from a full day of hikes, walks and play!”

About: I have take care of dogs for over 18 years from walking to pet sitting at their home or mine. Love to take dogs for long walks throughout the day. Also have 6 years experience cat sitting! I work from home and always happy to have a pet around to hang out during the week and at times can take care of pets over the weekends. I walk a lot so if your dog has a lot of energy we will get along great! If you just need your dog to go on walks downtown I can also grab them for an afternoon stroll! I have an apartment with space for two smaller dogs under 30 lbs or a medium dog. I spend a lot of time outside walking after I finish work I’m the early afternoon.

“Erin and Sebastian went above and beyond in caring for our pup Percy! We had a last-minute request, and they were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and kind. Throughout the day, they kept us updated with plenty of photos and made sure Percy was entertained and comfortable. With his medical needs, including medication administration, they were attentive and thorough—we could tell he was in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely love and care for the animals they look after. If you’re looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters on Rover, I can’t recommend Erin and Sebastian enough!”
