About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. I’ve had many dogs over the years and all were loved, cared for, and given a life they deserve. I’m currently working part time and have hybrid classes. So, I have time to meet the needs of families and their fur babies. I am available to drop in the day, or spend nights to make sure your animals are cared for. I make sure they have clean water and food when needed. I let them out to run around and take pets on walks. I brush animals to make their coats soft, and offer baths.
“Tamara is always taking great care of our Luna on walks. We recommend her if you need anything to do with your fur baby. She is professional, caring, and compassionate.”
About: Hi, I’m Gabriela! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been officially pet sitting since 2023. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention to gentle senior dogs who require a softer touch and steady routine. Because I work a standard 9-to-4 schedule Monday through Friday, I’m available for evening visits and overnights during the week, with full, open availability on the weekends. I’m proud to have maintained a 4.9-star rating across 64 reviews, and I always aim to give every dog the same genuine care, comfort, and attention I'd want for my own. Weekday care is ideal for drop ins or dogs that are used to this schedule. Weekends offer complete flexibility for full day care, longer walks, or taking on puppies and dogs with higher daytime needs. I have 1 pup that is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends. This is good for pups that are used to having someone around so that they don’t feel lonely.
“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Isabell has been walking our puppy for almost two months on a weekly basis. She is always on time, reliable, and gives the most thorough updates every time she sees our puppy. Our puppy loves her and this is easily seen with the pictures we receive. I would HIGHLY recommend Isabell with your pets.”
About: I've spent a few years pet-sitting for family members and friends with many dogs and some cats. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, baths, or whatever is needed. I can also administer medication in liquid form , tablets, or topical ointments. I am currently volunteering/fostering at a cat shelter! I've lived with dogs and I also have my own 2-year-old cat that is living her best life. I am currently a graduate student with classes once per week, clinic twice per week, and a part-time job. I am otherwise available: Saturdays/Sundays any time Mondays and Tuesdays after 6pm Thursdays before 11am and after 4pm Fridays before 4pm I will always respect an animal's boundaries and adjust to their personality. I like giving them their space and letting them control the situation. I can provide minimal care if needed, such as feeding or basic check-ins, or I can go beyond that and also provide walks, play time, baths, etc. I will do whatever is best for you and your pet! :)
About: Fostered cats and dogs with the Central Missouri Humane Society for about three years, all ages and capable of medicine distribution if needed. Have lived with cats my whole life, very familiar with the care they need. Occasionally pet sitter for friends and family throughout the years, including staying the night and daytime visits/walks! New to the Brookfield area and have a part time job with a different schedule every week, Mondays and Tuesdays are guaranteed open for me to assist in pet care needs! At home I've always helped clean litter boxes for my family cats and when dog walking picking up poop, as well as playing fetch and belly rubs! I always try to make sure the pet is comfortable and trusts me to ensure a positive environment while their humans are busy.
About: My family has had at least one dog most of my life, one of which became my best friend, and he (Bear) was the reason I named my current dog (Polar) after him. I have my own 100+ pound white Lab who had a whole lot of energy when he was a puppy ,so I am familiar with how crazy the young ones (and older ones too) can get. Your pet is safe with me, (s)he will be treated like family, and as if (s)he were my own dog to love. I am currently a full-time MBA student and can be home full-time if needed. Potty breaks every few hours, or as requested by him/her. Lots of play time in between, as I always need an excuse to take a break from my studies... My family has had at least one dog almost my entire life, and I currently have my own 100+ pound white Lab, so I am capable to providing care as if it were my own dog. I have a fenced in yard that your dog will be allowed to go out to every few hours, or whenever he/she indicates the need. One neighbor does not have a dog, the other house does have a dog but is only outside for a few minutes at a time. I do have an alley behind my house where very rarely somebody in the neighborhood might walk their dog, but the strong chain link fence will keep them separate. Inside has miscellaneous stuff around the house that may be an issue if your dog chews items, but I can identify and remove any distractions deemed necessary. I have lots of toys and balls for your dog to play with, whatever he or she wants... In your home, I will follow any and every rule you establish. Whatever you say goes. Please give me a detailed list with any guidelines that need to be followed and I will do so.
About: I had a dog my whole life and recently lost her and would love to help others take care of their dogs. I have also dog sat at least five different times with different types of dogs over the years, including all ages. I am currently working part time so I have free time during the week and weekends to hang out with your dogs! I work part time currently meaning I am flexible Monday, Wednesday and Friday and weekends. I am most free during the afternoon during the week and anytime during the weekend. I prefer to walk all dogs on a leash and will not let them off leash, even if they can be. I am also willing to adhere to any other norms you follow with your dog.
About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!
About: I have a 10 year old pit bull who I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m a big pit bull advocate! I’m a big believer in “punish the deed, not the breed”. Although pitties have my heart I do love dogs of all kinds and love to talk to strangers whenever I see them out and about with their pups. I’m self employed so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the weekdays and weekends during the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. As long as I have a couple days notice I can always move things around if needed. I have a fenced in wooden yard so your dogs can be outside with peace of mind knowing there’s no risk of them sneaking out as we keep the gates locked at all times since I have a dog of my own. In your home, I will follow the instructions given to me to take care of your pups.
About: If you’re looking for a sitter who truly "gets" feline behavior, look no further. 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. Leveraging my Animal Science background, I ensure your pets are monitored with a clinical eye in the safety of their own home. Simultaneously, I treat your property with the same meticulous attention to detail I apply to my professional tax work. You can travel with total confidence knowing your pets are safe and your home is in responsible, expert hands.
“Stephanie is so communicative when she is caring for Drogo. She is sure to send lots of pictures with updates and leaves detailed report of the stay/walk/etc. I know Drogo is in good hands with with Stephanie while I am away.”
About: I have a 7 year old pitbull mix. His name is Diesel and he is the love of my life. I adopted him when he was a little over year old. Unfortunately, he was not well taken care of by his previous owner. We've been through a variety of training and experiences throughout our time together, and it makes me an ideal candidate to care for your pet. I'm specifically experienced in reactivity and aggression, however, I'm happy to care for all pets, with any type of temperament. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most requests within the hours of 8am to 8pm. Early morning and late night are dependent on various factors. I follow whatever method of care the owner prefers. Please provide clear directions, and I am happy to accommodate whatever is needed to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. I am also open to and recommend meeting the pet before my initial visit. This would be at no additional cost. Any additional met-ups to establish familiarity will be charged at the 30-minute dog walking rate.
About: I am 21 years old so I am very active and do school from home so I have a lot of free time to play with the animals!! Im very patient but consistent with dogs of all ages and activity levels. I have been babysitting, and walking dogs since I was 10 as well as I used to have 2 dogs. When playing and taking care of dogs I always want to go above and beyond for them. I give animals a lot of attention and follow exact rules of food measurement, walks/litter cleaning, and exercise. My passion for animals is shown through my care. I do school online school so I can maneuver things to fit the dog schedule I am very open most of my things are at home! I have a nice, spacious house with a large fenced-in backyard, so the dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. I also love going on walks and will be more than happy to take them around the neighborhood!
“Ally really understands dogs and their body language/behaviors! She was very patient with my senior dog who is shy around new people. Ally made sure she was comfortable with her to not stress her out (and a few treats helped too 😊) We will be using Ally again for walks!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lyons is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lyons
Jennifer was great — it’s clear her experience with all sorts of dogs and temperaments helped her give Indy a great walk and handle her reactivity to other dogs she saw along the way. She was on time, asked questions, and listened to any instructions or insights I offered on our dog’s quirks. Thanks Jennifer!
Tamara has been a tremendous dog walker for our dog Dickens. She’s friendly and very good with our dogs and has been attentive, on time, as well as very responsible. She scheduled a meeting with our dogs and with us prior to booking to make sure everyone was comfortable. Would highly recommend Tamara to anyone for her wonderful skills.
Amaya was wonderful. My dog was pretty scared of some fireworks and wouldn't go for a potty walk. Amaya hung out with her the whole time, and even offered to breifly come back to try a quick potty break, which worked! She went above and beyond. And was incredibly patient. 5 stars, 100%.
James did a great job with my dog, Daisy! He walked her once on Thursday and twice on Saturday, and everything went really smoothly. He was always on time, friendly, and clearly comfortable with her. Daisy currently has an injured knee, so she needs limited activity, and James was very attentive to that. He listened to my instructions and took great care of her. I also appreciated the updates and photos through the Rover app after each visit—it gave me peace of mind. I felt very comfortable with James and will definitely be booking him again!
Jessica is marvelous! My dog EllieBean takes a while to warm up to new people. Jessica took her time over several visits to gain EB's trust. She was patient and professional, even when the weather and EB were a challenge. They have now become great friends. In addition, Jessica is a pleasure to work with and always shows up on time. I'm so grateful to have found Jessica!
This is our second booking with Carly. She’s been extremely efficient and friendly with our dog. Each time she walked him through the area he liked and he always enjoyed his time with her, you could tell how happy he was when they returned. We recommend Carly 100%!
