Jackie was wonderful- she took the best care of our dog, Leo! She was flexible with the schedule and very prompt and thorough with her updates. We felt super comfortable leaving Leo in her care while we went on vacation. We would definitely book with her again:)

About: Over the past few years I've built hands-on experience caring for dogs in multiple settings. I spent two summers at Camp Bow Wow, where I supervised playgroups of up to 25 dogs and handled daily care tasks such as feeding, administering medications, cleaning play yards and giving baths. I have also volunteered at many animal shelters where I walked dogs, fed them, cleaned kennels and assisted with training playdates. Additionally, through my sorority I support the Boulder Guide Dogs for the Blind by fundraising, baking treats, puppy-sitting, and socialising puppies to teach them good manners and prepare them for formal training. As a college student, my class schedule is flexible (giving me plenty of free time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your dog!) I am super easy to reach via the Rover app or text, and last minute bookings are no problem. I am open to midday walks, evening check-ins or an overnight stay on short notice, and can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! I miss my own dog back home so much, so caring for your pet isn't just a job, it's a way to fill that gap. I treat every dog as if they're my own, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. My experience caring for my dog (as well as 2 dogs and many foster dogs before her) have taught me to be patient, responsible and attentive to every dog's unique needs.

About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve helped walk friends’ dogs, played with them, and assisted with their care when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or extra affection, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and always follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Dog walking fits easily into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability during the early mornings, evenings, and some mid-day hours depending on the day, which allows me to consistently take on walks. I’ve helped walk dogs for friends and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable building this into my schedule regularly. I make sure to plan ahead and keep commitments organized so each dog gets reliable, attentive care and a consistent walking routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. For dog walking, I focus on giving each dog a safe and enjoyable walk based on their energy level and personality—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things clean, and make sure pets are safe and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

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. ❤️

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.

Jackie is the absolute best! She did such a great job watching my cat, Moose, while I was traveling for work. She was on time, communicative, sent great photos of my boy, and she kept my house clean; it was such a relief coming home to a happy cat and clean house after a late night flight. Will definitely rebook. Thank you, Jackie!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lyons on Rover is $23.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 11,391 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
