“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!!”
“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 taken care of all kinds of animals, from chickens to lizards. I know all animals deserve the best and that they all should be loved and cared for, as I have two of my own. I know how to take care of animals, whether they are babies or older. I prioritize responsibility, genuine love and care and communication. My busiest days are Monday and Fridays, as I work from 8 am to 6:30 pm. However, I only work part time (max being 5 hours) for the rest of the week. I always will check in on your babies and make sure I take care of their needs before and after my job. I live in an apartment that has an outdoor area and I live within close proximity to amazing parks. I also have toys and other enjoyable things for your babies to enjoy.
“Zach and Ellie did an amazing job taking care of my cats. One of my cats has a medical condition so they gave him his daily meds. They fed the cats, cleaned the cat litter and all the accidents that my sick cat unfortunately has, played with them and gave them lots of affection. I got daily reports and lots of pictures.”
“Amanda was the best. She was so easy to book with and came perfectly on time. She was so good with my Puppy and they had a blast together. She brought him home so happy and tired and I couldn’t be more grateful. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Tara was wonderful with our 11 week old puppy during daytime drop in visits. She’s a great communicator and sent very detailed updates/pictures. We could tell our puppy was well taken care of when we got home. We look forward to having her sit for us again!”
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.
“This was Rachel's third time checking in on my cat Screamy, who is high-anxiety, and the whole thing went so smoothly! Screamy seemed happy and well-adjusted when we got home. It's been a pleasure working with Rachel. She's great with the kitty and she's always super responsive in communicating.”
“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”
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.
“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’ve grown up with many animals over the years, including cats, dogs, reptiles, horses, and chickens, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting—providing everything from daily walks and feedings to overnight care and companionship. These experiences have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and a genuine love for all kinds of pets. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for pet sitting most of the time, with occasional exceptions when I have prior commitments. I’m hoping to incorporate a regular dog walking schedule as well. I’m happy to stay at your home while pet sitting, and I always ensure a quiet, respectful, and clean environment. I’ll do whatever makes your dog or cat feel most comfortable, respecting their routines and needs.
About: As I photographer, you will get lots of cute pics of your furry friend while in my care. My calm steady energy will set you and your pet at ease. I also, recognize that every pet is unique and I like to adapt my care of them to their specific needs. Whether that be lots of exercise or lots of cuddles. I customize my care to what you and your pet communicate they need. I am currently self employed as a photographer, so I create my own schedule. This helps me be flexible to you and your pets needs. I’m a warm and inviting human who loves animals, and animals love me. I have a grounding energy that helps put animals at ease. Everyone is safe and supported while in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lyons on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,000 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lyons. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
