“Emily was awesome with my dog and cat! She was flexible with a last minute change I thought of, thorough in caring for and walking my dog, and communicated how each of her visits were. I’d highly recommend her and will use her services in the future if she’s available.”

“As a first time Rover user I’m happy to report that Hunter exceeded my expectations as a care giver for my very shy cat. I will definitely hire Hunter again she was totally relatable and kept me informed about feeding and caring for Pusheen.”

“Absolutely Wonderful Cat Care! 🐾❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our 2 kittens and our adult cat! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all the updates and attention to detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.😸😻😸”

“Alyssa was wonderful, caring, and prompt when taking care of our 7 month old boxer puppy during a drop in visit. She provided a summary and pictures of our puppy during her visit. Would Recommend her and will re-book with her for future appointments”

“Khadijah has came over a few times now to let our 75 lb Lab/Pit/Setter Mix out and Feed him on our long work days. Khadijah came and took the time out of her own, to come over and meet us and Clarke, ahead of time before we even booked her, to make sure all would be okay. It really was to ease moms nerves cause I know he can be a lot to handle sometimes and a big baby when it comes to eating when we aren’t there. She has stayed over her time allotted just to make sure he eats completely, and goes to the bathroom. I really thank Khadijah for her help and recommend her to anyone and any big dog!”

“Michael was great with our kids. We had a drop in scheduled and he not only did that but went above and beyond by washing the dishes and more importantly cleaning after the mishap either both or one did. We highly appreciated it. We will definitely ask for his help in the future.”

I'm currently devoting most if my time to pet sitting and am willing to fit in a visit or a walk anytime, and any day of the week. I'm happy to work overnight in your house, but since I have four cats who have wildly different personalities, I won't be able to house any pets in my home. I pride myself on being able to figure out what an animal needs, and on being patient with pets with any sort of special behavioral, or medical needs.

About: Hi! We are a family of 5 (mom, dad, and 3 girls whose ages are 16, 18, and 20) who love animals, being outdoors, and hanging out together. We are home almost every day because we homeschool. We are always walking and riding bikes around our neighborhood and love to go hiking, and also enjoy a nice evening relaxing by our fire and curling up with a good book. We offer a lower price because we know pet care can get expensive fast! We are always looking for ways to serve the community and this is one of the ways we can do it. The love and attention your pet will receive from my family is priceless! I've had a dog all my growing up life at home. We owned probably 5 different dogs and loved them all. Now my girls love dogs and thoroughly enjoy romping in the backyard. We homeschool and I work from home, so lots of attention will be lavished on your pet. My girls will always make sure your pet is comfortable! We always love to send photos! We know it eases our minds when we are away to see pictures of our dogs, so we send regular updates to you! We have a large yard with a section fenced off for quick potty breaks.
“Jordan was absolutely amazing with our 3 rescue dogs. She stopped over for a drop in and updated us on her visit. She even sent photos and asked questions. We can't wait to use her again. Highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lyons
We had an excellent experience with Emily while we were away for a week. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which reassured us that our cat was well cared for. Emily cared about our cat and paid attention to all of the details of our care instructions, and kept us updated throughout the entire process. She was thorough and very responsive. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care and professionalism. We would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lyons stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
