“Bridgett took excellent care of our furr babies while we were away for a week. This was the longest we have been separated from them and it a great reassurance to have Bridgett care for them. Bridgett was very communicative and observant and spent lots of quality time with our cat and dog. I highly recommend Bridgett for your loved ones.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Absolutely will have Matt watch our pets again!! He was super flexible- when I asked him last minute to come an hour and a half early, he made it work. My dog can be very anxious around men, he usually doesn’t accept head pets or like to play around them. My dog had no issues playing and accepting head scratches from Matt! Pets love him!!”
“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: The things that set me apart from other sitter is I don’t really have a certificate to show I’m a professional. But I have been around a lot of dogs to know what’s good and bad for any dog. I enjoy meeting new dog knowing what they enjoy or in what house hold they grew up in. They should be treated with kindness and fairness because they deserve the world. Currently, I can do weekends just for August. Saturdays 8AM-11AM Sundays 2pm-5pm In September my availability will be open to weekdays. Thank you for understanding. In your home, I will treat your pet as on of my own with respect and patience. Making sure your pet is aware that it is loved, cared, and well looked at.
“Dylan is fantastic! She is kind, considerate, dependable and takes amazing care of our pups. She treats them as her own, loving them and providing for them while we are away. She provides many pictures of the fun they are having, but most importantly gives them each so much love. She is such a blessing! Best dog sitter ever!”

But other than that, I am indeed available, since even my volunteering work is irregular and voluntary I have a fenced yard or have the dog kept on a leash. I make sure the environment is hazard free, and keep the dog away from other animals.

“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!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10! My friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I also have a dog myself! I am currently a student with only two classes a day, so I have plenty of time to hang out with and walk your pets. I live in an apartment that has grass and open areas right outside my door. There is also a dog park only one minute away
About: I absolutely love dogs and have not known a time to not have one running around the home! However, I haven’t been able to have a dog since moving to Colorado from TX after graduating college, so I would love to spend some time with yours! I know how important it is to know that your pup is in good hands while you are gone!! I’m currently a junior at the University of Arkansas, taking 15 hours a semester. I am also a wedding/portrait photographer. This means my schedule is pretty flexible as far as work goes— I can build my own schedule to meet your needs! I understand that each pet has their own specific needs, and little things that make them happy or not so happy! I want to take the time to understand your pet & get to know them a little to gain that trust with them!! I am here to sit and play, take them for a walk, check food/water, and give ‘em a nice big belly rub. Whatever will make your dog the most comfortable!
About: I understand how important our fur babies are to us, I want to welcome yours and put ease on your mind and there’s that they will get the care, and love they need while you can’t be there. I will love them like my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your dog’s routine rather than making them fit into mine. I’m home throughout the day and interact with the dogs frequently for potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and naps. Someone is home the majority of the time. If gone less than an hour! I live in a townhouse with plenty of open grassy areas and a dog park nearby. We’re also right next to Kensington Park, which we frequent for walks and outdoor time. I have one Schnoodle named Boo who is very sweet, calm, and great company for other dogs. I work from home, so I’m almost always around to give your pet plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. 🐾❤️

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lyons is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
