“Hunter took amazing care of our pup. She’s responsive, was on-time, and took plenty of photos of Rocky for me! I could tell she took care to follow my instructions and she left everything the way she found it. She even took Rocky for a mile and a half walk! We’ll absolutely be using her again in the future!!”
“Alyssa was amazing with my curious kitty while I was away on vacation. She didn’t miss a single detail! She goes above and beyond for her clients!! We are so grateful for her 😊”

“Mike is great with Sapphire! I always get feedback and pictures every visit, and Mike follows all instructions to a T. My dog feels safe when I'm away because of this special care she is getting and it is greatly appreciated. Perla & Michael C. are #1 on the Rover app!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Amanda was wonderful! My cat took to her immediately, which is unusual because he is usually very shy! I was so appreciative of all of the pictures and updates! I’m so grateful and I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I begged my mom and dad for a puppy of my own. I’ve taken care of family and neightbor hood dogs consistently since then and have volunteered at local dog shelters to help clean up and walk dogs. I have exprience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can’t wait to stop by an play with your pup!!

“Absolutely wonderful experience! She took such great care of my pets and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I really appreciated knowing they were being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. I came home to happy pets and everything exactly as I left it. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
About: I have always had experience with dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and I know how to care for them. I have also had experience training puppies as I have had two of them. I feed and let my dogs out daily. I also make sure they get enough exercise and take them for walks as much as I can. We put one of my dogs on a leash while they go to the bathroom and let my other dog roam wherever she pleases because she knows the boundaries of the yard.

“Gabrielle took great care of our boys! She sent lots of great updates and pics that made us feel connected and assured. Our pups definitely enjoyed all of her cuddles and attention. She moved things around in her own schedule so that we could spend an extra day on vacation. Thanks for everything, Gabrielle!”
About: I’ve had experience working with my own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles, to small animals, to birds, and of course cats. I also have experience with dogs with plenty of experience administering medication to a wide range of animals. I’ve also worked at a kennel for 2 summers walking dogs. As a full-time High School Teacher, my availability opens up significantly in the summers. Lucky for all of us, that’s usually when everyone wants to enjoy the weather! Depending on the situation, I can be very accommodating and flexible for whatever you and your pet needs. My wife and I have our own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles and amphibians, to rabbits, to fish, to birds, and of course cats. While we are getting ready to purchase our first home together before we add a doggy to the mix, I have years of personal experience with dogs, with some professional experience working at a pet inn. Every night I spend at least 30 minutes tending to the care of our various animals, checking in on them and documenting feedings while taking note on any physical changes or abnormalities. The cats of course get more attention and more feedings, usually about 4 small meals spread throughout the day ranging from dry food to various wets foods.
“Lynn was wonderful. She sent me photos every day and kept me well informed about my pet. She sent photos every day, even though my cat was reluctant to come out of hiding until the last day of our vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.

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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lyons is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 of October 2026, there are 2,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lyons. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
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.
