“Melissa was so great!!! She took such great care of our little River. It was nice knowing he was having a blast while we were gone. Thank you for treating him so great and send me all those cute pictures!!!”
“This was my second time booking Julie to watch my dog, Jack, and once again she went above and beyond. Her communication is excellent—timely updates, great photos, and I always felt in the loop. Jack got plenty of active time with walks and play, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for. As a sweet bonus, she even sent him home with a bone! I truly appreciate the thoughtful touches and care she provides. Highly recommend!”
“We highly recommend Christy as a dog sitter! She sent us regular photos and updates, took our dog on daily walks, and was more than happy to give her the medications she needed. She made the entire experience easy and stress-free for us. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs—ages 5 and 1—and an 9-year-old cat who runs the house. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, loved, and at home while their people are away. Whether it’s playtime with an energetic pup or keeping a senior pet comfortable, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday but can come home during my lunch break if needed. I’m home most weeknights and weekends, so your pet will still get plenty of attention and care outside of work hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. I share my home with two friendly dogs and a cat, so your pet is welcome to socialize or have their own quiet space if preferred. I also have kennels and pet gates available to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable when separation is needed. We have a toddler in the home, and I am intentional about maintaining a calm, well supervised environment to ensure all interactions are safe and positive.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 26 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lyons. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lyons can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lyons home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lyons.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lyons sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ND ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
