Pet Sitting Lyons Park

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Mallory did a great job checking in on our cat Marvin while we were away on vacation. She provided great updates with photos every visit, and was very professional & communicative overall. Thank you Mallory!”

“Sarah has become part of our family. She's an awesome communicator and is so good with my dog who has anxiety issues among other things. He just loves her, and she makes him feel safe and happy. On her own she introduced him to doggy puzzles which I hadn't thought of.”

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

About: I’m a cat-focused pet sitter who is comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, including shy or nervous cats who need patience and space to warm up. I pay close attention to each cat’s normal routine and behavior. During visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship. I know how important it is for cat parents to feel updated, so I send photo updates after every visit. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so cat care fits best into my schedule in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m available before work for quick morning check-ins, and after 4:00pm I have plenty of time for visits, feeding, playtime, and care. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can provide longer visits or extended care if needed. Since I only provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping your cats comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any specific rules for the home or cat. I make sure doors are secured, water is fresh, and cats are safe and during visits.

About: I am new to Rover and looking forward to providing the best care for your loved one. I have worked with dogs through shelters and personal pet sitting for family and friends. I am new to Rover and work part-time with animals. I am available for pet sitting, walks and drop-ins during the weekends all day and with some flexibility during weekdays. We can discuss boarding on a case by case basis. I will follow the owner's guidelines and treat your house and pets with respect. I use a common sense approach to safety and will stay vigilante when spending time with your loved one. I believe in clear communication and am happy to update you as much as needed. Thank you allowing me to help relieve some of the petcare duties for your dog or cat. My personal goal is to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away!

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
