“Roselie handled my very fussy Maine Coone really well, was there every day as we had scheduled, and sent me an excellent summary a photos each visit. Both myself and my little queen are very appreciative! Would not hesitate to ask Roselie to help out for my next trip.”

“Elizabeth and her husband were excellant cat sitters! Lulu is a shy and anxious cat with some bathroom quirks but they were able to handle it with no issues and Lulu even came out to play once or twice! I am really grateful for their professional care of my cat. ☺️ thank you again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 20 years. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am! I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, small animals, and just about any furry, feathered, or scaled companion you may have. I’ve had animals my entire life and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I’ve completed an animal emergency CPR course and spent 4 years working in an animal shelter, growing within the organization until it was time to focus on being a mom. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about animal care — I’d do just about anything to keep an animal safe and happy (safely, of course!). I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking so everyone feels comfortable and I can learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out even if you just have questions — I’m always happy to chat. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits, walks, and pet care whenever you need it. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care during every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Every pet deserves patience, compassion, love, and individualized attention, and I take pride in providing exactly that. I will always follow your pet’s routine and provide the level of care, attention, exercise, and affection you request, because no one knows your pet better than you do. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home. ❤️

“Maryanne took great care of our 8 cats, some of whom are on a special diet, and was available on somewhat short notice as well. Her experience as a vet tech is a definite plus—I felt comfortable that she would know what to do in case any urgent medical issues arose while we were away. We will keep her at the top of our list for next time we are out of town!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for 4 years, so I know how much love, patience, and attention dogs need. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and sticking to their routine. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, so I’m comfortable using Spanish commands if that’s what your dog is used to. I’ll always treat your pet like my own. I currently have availability Friday through Monday from 8:00 AM–12:00 PM and 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and love while staying on their normal routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Words cannot express my gratitude for Erika not only taking care of my Mr. Chauncey but of my home as well. From our meet and greet all the way to the end of the contract, Erika kept in touch, took care of Mr. Chauncey’s feeding and litter box needs and also took the time to give him a little attention. As an added bonus, I came home to a clean and organized home which made coming back from vacation that much more glorious. I can’t wait to work with her again for all my future pet sitting needs and would recommend her ten times over!!”

Roselie was amazing! I was in need of a last minute cat sitter and she was so flexible and quick to respond. In our first meeting, she was so thoughtful with all the questions she had and even brought treats to help with a warm intro to my kitties :) Through the week, Roselie was attentive and helpful with all updates and was great help. Would definitely recommend!

Emily took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was kind, friendly, and asked thoughtful questions about their care, which gave us a lot of confidence. She followed our instructions carefully, including the little details around feeding and disposing of empty cat food cans, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a tidy feeding area. We would gladly book Emily again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lyons

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lyons is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 11,505 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lyons. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyons. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
