“Hunter was awesome. Very accommodating especially when I mistakenly put the wrong time down and she was able to correct it and still let my pups out. House was still in order and followed all directions. My 2 overly hyper big babies loved her and were well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“Dave did a wonderful job checking on the cats, giving them their food and medicine making sure they were comfortable and happy. He’s a very pleasant man and easy to work with.”
“We've been so lucky to have found Brenna! Our fur babies genuinely light up when they see her, which tells us everything we need to know. It's such a relief to leave our pets in the hands of someone we truly trust — she treats them so special. If you're searching for someone special to care for your furry family members, we couldn't recommend Brenna more wholeheartedly. She's truly one of a kind! 🐾”
“Ash was fantastic. Our cat needs medication twice daily and can be aggressive. Ash was great at trying to give the medication without stressing him more and even offered to stay over to help ease his anxiety. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
About: For the past 6 years I have been dog sitting and I love it! I started sitting privately and then worked at a doggy daycare. I have been doing Rover for over two years and I enjoy every minute of it. I have experience with many different breeds. I have worked closely with large dogs and small dogs, old and young dogs. I make sure to send lots of pictures while you’re away and prioritize play time, make sure to always get walks in, and most importantly have lots of cuddles while you’re gone! I am currently a college student, so I am free all of summer. I make it a priority to be there for your pets multiple times throughout the day. I know how important it is to provide play time, snuggles, and treats for when they know you’re away. I understand dogs body language and love to see their personalities. I always make sure to follow your normal schedule as best I can, making sure your pups are always comfortable and get lots of love while you’re away.
“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.”
“I was very nervous about leaving Molly but that feeling quickly abated when I met Emily. She is a reliable and very communicative sitter. I was able to enjoy my vacation because I knew Molly was in excellent hands. I would definitely recommend her services to family and friends without hesitation.”
About: Hi! I’m Liv, and I’d love to get some steps in with some new furry friends. I’ve cared for both adult and senior cats and dogs, including those with special needs, and I’m attentive to individual routines, medications, and comfort levels. I’m unavailable on weekdays due to my full-time job, but I’d love to spend my weekends walking, visiting, and adventuring with your pets! I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every booking. When we first start working together, I’m happy to meet in a public place for a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s a great fit for you and your dog. To provide the best possible care, I ask that any special needs, behavioral considerations, or medical requirements are shared upfront. I always walk dogs on a leash to ensure their safety, and for in-home visits, I appreciate detailed written instructions so I can closely follow your pet’s normal routine and keep things consistent.. I also have experience caring for pets with complex medical needs.
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs, including walks, playtime, and overnight stays in their home. I treat every pet like part of my family and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. Caring for pets is part of my weekly routine—I enjoy morning walks, playtime, and cuddles with dogs of all sizes. Making sure they get attention, exercise, and love is something I look forward to every day. I care for pets in their own home, keeping their routines consistent with walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from pet sitting to working at a doggy day care so I have experience with many different types of dogs. I want to ensure your fur baby is taken care of with walks or drop in visits! Offering drop‑in visits during early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I work full‑time, but caring for animals is the best part of my day. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping your pets comfortable while you’re away. I will make sure your pet feels relaxed and cared for by sticking to their dedicated schedule as needed for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs. I treat every pet like my own and keep your home tidy and respected during each visit.
“Michael was able to stop by and take care of our pug when we had a family member cancel last min. He had a flexible schedule, was thorough, and sent lots of cute videos of our pup! Great communicator and we will definitely be using him and Perla again in the future! HIGHLY recommend!!”
About: Hello my name is Heather and I am an animal lover! I have years of experience walking dogs and pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors! I have two cats of my own and love spending time with furry friends. Your babies will be safe and happy with me! I am currently working full time but my work schedule is very flexible! I am looking for some weekday walks/ drop ins as well as weekend walks! I prefer to care for clients pets in their homes due to my two cats and very small apartment. I find this keeps all animals much calmer and less stressed!
“Taylor and Joseph were punctual, compassionate, caring sitters. New service for my 2 babes, Westies, Ella and Skye they fell right in place with following their schedules and Ella's medication needs. Kept lines of communication open with photos and messaging. We could not have been more pleased.”
About: I’ve grown up around all different types of dogs: Maltese poodles, labs, Frenchies, bulldogs, and more!

I am also available on weekends with booking in advance. I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and strengths! I am very aware of my surroundings on walks and will take any precautions to ensure your furry friend is safe!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyons. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
