“Very thankful to have found such an amazing dog sitter for our extremely energetic Australian Shepherd. We have used Deanne twice now and plan on her being our go to sitter! She updates with pictures and our Pup is always happy and smiling in the photos. Each time our dog has come home tired and happy. Would recommend her and her family to anyone.”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Milwaukee Brewers won the 2026 World Series and we wanted to spend the day in Milwaukee celebrating without worrying about Lucy. I contacted Heather last minute and she accommodated! Lucy walked into the house with her tail wagging. I know Lucy is happy to be there!”
“Stella was attentive and loving to our little old little lady. It was Lola’s first time with a sitter other than family in her own home in her whole life. To say we were nervous for Lola and Stella’s family would be an understatement. We feel thoroughly blessed to have had Lola’s first sleepover at Stella’s and hope to book with her again soon!”
“Scott and Ashley were fantastic. Their back yard was perfect for Piper to run around in and they took fantastic care of her. They were extremely communicative as well. I look forward to Piper staying at their house again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our Chesapeake! We appreciated her communication, pictures, and videos while we were away. I feel lucky to have found her and would definitely recommend her!”
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jill provided for our dog, Mia! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Mia was in such loving and capable hands. Jill went above and beyond to ensure Mia was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during our time away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made us feel connected to Mia even when we were apart. You can tell that Jill is a true animal lover—her attention to detail and commitment to our dog's well-being was evident in everything she did. Mia absolutely adored her, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Jill is the one! Highly recommend!”

“Sunshine and her family were perfect! They made my dog, Fitz, part of the gang and he seemed super happy there. She kept me updated with pictures of her kids loving my little old man dog and was very responsive and super easy and flexible to arrange drop off and pick up. Thank you so much!

About: My wife and I have been loving pet owners for over 10 years. We have pet sat many times over the years and treat others pets like our own family. We also have a decently sized fenced backyard so dogs can play and roam in a safe area. I am a stay-at-home dad who does some work within my house. I can be home pretty much all day during the week so your Animals will not be left alone for any significant amount of time at all. I have a fenced backyard, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. I have no problem crating a dog if needed or allowing them to sleep in the bed with us. Our dogs sleep on our bed every night and most dogs we pet sit also join us on our bed.
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”

“Jennifer was AMAZING! She took such great care of my dog. We had a last minute trip and needed to find quality care for her, and Jennifer was able to schedule and meet-and-greet the same day for us. She was extremely communicative and provided so many pictures of our sweet girl. We also got to meet her family and her dogs, all of whom were wonderful. I will re-book with her for any trips we have in the future. I can tell she genuinely cared and loved for my baby. Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”
“Our dogs had a great time and Chisato treated them like her own. We got tons of pictures and videos of them enjoying their walks and pets while we were on vacation. Will definitely book with her again.”
“It's always hard leaving my fur baby, but it makes it so, so much easier to have ABSOLUTE peace of mind knowing she is in amazing hands with Jen and her family! I LOVE that I get picture updates and Doby looks so calm and comfortable and like THEIR family pet...she is loved by their family like she is their own. That is PRICELESS. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer and her family a million times over. They will always be my first choice for doggy daycare and overnights. ❤”
“April did a great job caring for my 2 chiweenies. She kept me updated with messages and pictures and was responsive to questions etc. I could tell that my dogs had a good time with her and I will definitely reach out again if I need a place for them to go in the future.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lyons can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lyons home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lyons.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyons. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Lyons sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
