“Bridgett did a fabulous job watching our 2 cats while we traveled out of state. She was very friendly and thorough, taking detailed notes regarding their care and sending updates and pics every day. She also kept the kitchen and litter boxes super clean. Our cats took to her quickly and we would happily book with her again!”

“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.”

“Lisa is the best! She took time to get to know my cats and make her time with them special. I really appreciate that she formed her own relationship with them and treated them as if they were her own cats. Can't thank 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’ve grown up around dogs and cats, when people around me leave town they always call me. I love watching animals, enjoy being around them I am currently a full time teacher! I love taking dogs on walks. I love giving them the love they deserve. I love knowing how each pet is different and their little quirks. I have a small fenced yard along with one dogs. I am also always on watch with dogs! I also love to play with the dogs!!

About: I was born in Boulder and raised out east on a farm with everything from cows, horses, and pigs, to dogs, cats, and bunnies. My dad is the real live Dr. Doolittle and taught me everything I know about animals and how to care for them (yes, that’s his real name). I’m at a stage in my life where having a full time pet isn’t the right choice, which leaves a plethora of fur baby love to give! Let me love on your babies while you’re not home! I am a self employed hair and makeup artist so I make my own schedule, which allows for a ton of flexibility for my services. I only have my kids half of the time and they’re both in school/daycare. I have a pet free home, with a sub-ground level patio that looks out onto a big grassy area with a playground. It’s north facing with a concrete wall for the patio, so you can rest assured your pup can’t escape. I have easy access to multiple trails and lakes and love to be active. I already have a litter box for any kitties that come to stay. Otherwise, it’s just a big comfy couch and a super soft bed for them to curl up on.

“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”

About: I have owned several cats and rabbits over the years. I have also pet sit for dogs, reptiles, fish, cats and rodents on many occasions for each animal listed. I love working with animals I am available anytime of day. I am available weekend or weekdays, morning, afternoon or evening for walking. I am also available for overnight dog sitting in my home if they are good with small animals. I work about eating shift schedule. So I could go five days and not work a single shift, or I could work several times within a timeframe. I work four shifts a week and they could be first second or third and they’re different every week. There are daytime where I’m home, and also daytime where I work for 8-9 hours at the most. I have a tie out and love taking walks. I don’t work a 9-5 job so I am home a lot during the day. I would love to dog sit in my home.
“Alyssa is great with our pets. She kept in touch and kept our 2 cats happy while we were out of town. She provided updates and made sure everything was under control at home so we could enjoy Chrsitmas with our family out of state! She is friendly and professional!”
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!

“Tigran has been awesome checking in on and walking my 85 pound sheepadoodle Larry, who can be both reactive and hyperactive. Tigran is calm, reliable, flexible, in control and eased my mind by taking such great care of him.”

About: I’ve always have had a family dog. My family also breed dogs growing up which I helped with. Taking care of their basic needs, walking, feeding, bathing and sometimes helping them birthing their puppies. I’ve house sat for a few years and have experienced a lot of dogs with different behaviors and personalities and can work around anything.

What you say goes!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lyons is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 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 5,966 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lyons. 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 Lyons. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
