“Alicia took great care of our cats for us while we were overseas. She kept us updated and sent us pictures of them everyday. One of our cats requires a daily inhaler and she had no problem administering it. Would definitely recommend!”

You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special.

“Anne did a great job with my cat. I loved the pictures and message on how he was doing!!! Very prompt on her two visits daily as kitty needed medication. Will use Anne again and I highly recommend her!!!”

My 16-year career is backed by an Animal Science degree and years of hands-on experience in vet hospitals and rescues. Whether it's administering medication, managing senior health, or simply respecting a shy cat’s boundaries, I combine scientific knowledge with a gentle, shelter-tested touch. Your pet’s routine shouldn't change just because you’re away. My mission is to provide care so consistent and attentive that your pets hardly notice a gap in their day. While I am a professional tax preparer by season, my true calling and year-round commitment is the well-being of your animals. I bring the same precision and detail-oriented focus from my professional career to your home, ensuring your pets remain safe, happy, and loved. Expert Care for Your Pets. Absolute Respect for Your Home. Safety is my baseline; comfort is my specialty.

About: Hi, I’m My’Anna! I’m a Veterinary Technician with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both clinical and home settings. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who want to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need medications, extra monitoring, or special routines, and my veterinary background has taught me how to notice the little things that can make a big difference in a pet’s health and comfort. But great pet care isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s about getting to know the individual pet! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, favorite activities, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants a long walk, your cat prefers to watch me from across the room, or your senior pet simply wants some quiet company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident leaving them in my care and for your pet to be excited to see me again. As a part-time veterinary technician, I have flexibility in my schedule to give my Rover pets plenty of attention and one on one care. I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow their usual routine, respect your space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a vet tech, I’m also trained to pay close attention to changes in behavior and well being. I’ll keep your pet’s safety a priority while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: We’ve had three pets in our home since we were kids and throughout adulthood - two dogs and a cat. I love animals and would love to earn a little extra money by walking, playing, and watching over them! I’m currently looking for work (ex-programmer), so I’m doing Rover and other gig work while searching. So I’m free all the time for your pet needs! I’ll follow any instructions you leave on how you’d like me to care for your fur babies. I can track walks we go on, take photos/video, update you, whatever you need!
“Diane was fantastic! She took excellent care of my two kittens, including one who needed meds three times a day. She sent me updates and photos and was great about communicating throughout my time away. She even made sure that my flight was not delayed before she left the kittens. When I got home, my apartment was very clean and my kittens were very happy and well-cared for! I would definitely have her take care of my kittens again!”

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes for over 10 years, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I regularly pet sit and dog walk, and I’ve personally trained my own dogs, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and safe, attentive care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, especially right now. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, check-ins, and last-minute needs. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets consistent attention, plenty of exercise, and reliable care throughout the day and week. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or a client’s. I’m very attentive to safety and routines, especially with dogs who may try to escape. Since I’ve owned an escape-artist dog myself, I double- and triple-check doors, gates, leashes, and fences at all times. I follow each pet’s normal schedule, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lyons
Jennifer has been wonderful with our 3 kitties while we were out of town. She treated them with such love and made sure to keep us updated and worry free while we were gone. We are excited to have found such an awesome sitter and are excited to book with her next time we are out of town.

This was my first time leaving my two recently-adopted cats home alone, and it was such a relief to know Jessica was checking in on them. She was so communicative and made sure to send pictures (even when my girls were being shy and hiding). I would absolutely recommend her services, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Jessica :)

Heather was the best pet sitter we have ever had. Thank you. She was excellent at communication, and our cats loved her. Our 2 cats have been shy around previous sitters, but they were not with Heather. That's so important when you are away from your pets to know that they are getting the attention they need.
Kate was amazing taking care of our kitty and made fast friends with him. She is very reliable and responsible in all aspects of cat care. She sent us lot of great pictures and let us know how he was doing each day. We were happy our kitty was in a such good hands. We will definitely be using Kate again. :-)

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lyons is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $11 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
