“Elizabeth was amazing sitter! She was so caring and attentive with Pepper and kept me updated throughout our trip. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Growing up, family and friends would often trust me with the responsibility of caring for their pets whenever they needed someone. I’ve always had pets of my own as well, usually a cat and a dog or two. My family had Whippets and a Doberman, and throughout my life I’ve also kept fish and the occasional reptile. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy both the companionship they bring and learning about what makes each pet unique. If you trust me with your pet, I can promise they’ll be cared for and loved as if they were my own. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care they deserve. I work a block away from my home. I wake up a few hours before I’m due so I can take care of everyone. I’m home every lunch break for walks and pets then back home about 3 hours after that. My cat always has full reign on the house and my dog has a private bedroom with crate for when I leave. A nice sized fenced in private back yard great makes for a good playtime or potty break.
“Ariana was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind to our cats. It’s clear she has experience with animals—she understood their needs, respected their routines, and gave them genuine affection and care. When our travel plans unexpectedly changed, Ariana didn’t hesitate to step in and extend her time with them. Her flexibility and reliability gave us real peace of mind. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and understands animals!”
“Jenna was amazing! My cat absolutely loved her and when our plans changed multiple times, she rolled with the punches and kept my baby well cared for. She’s attentive to detail, comforted and played with my cat according to her normal routine. I would recommend and rebook her in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Jenna!”
About: Hi there! I have spent many years of my life taking care of animals personally and professionally. I have been volunteering in animal shelters for 7 years, I work with 3 animal organizations helping animals get adopted and fostered, fostering many of them myself. I have had dogs ranging from 5lbs to 75+ Lbs. I also have had numerous cats throughout my life and understand the many personality and needs they have. I have a very flexible schedule professionally and would love to spend more of my free time being around animals I have a very flexible work schedule in which I schedule for myself weekly, giving me a lot of extra time daily as well as the ability to schedule and adjust around bookings. I have fostered both dogs and cats through the years, and currently have one cat now. I keep my home very clean and give my fur baby the most attention and love I can. I truly believe pets are part of the family
About: I grew up with a white retriever named Daisy for 13 years until she passed away. I currently have 2 cats, and I have 3 guinea pigs! I adore all types of animals and I love giving them hugs and kisses! I will make sure that I will always be on time and keep the house as clean as you left it! For the month of October, daytime requests are better for me because I am a scare actor at a haunted house most evenings! I work another job during the day certain days but the shifts are not long! I will always have my eye on your pet at all times. I believe that trust between a human and an animal is something that is developed over time, and I will make sure that I will be respectful of your pets boundaries and make sure that stay as safe as possible.
“10/10 would highly recommend! Kristin was one of the best sitters I've ever had! My kitties absolutely adored her and she went above and beyond while she was here. Kristin kept me up to date on how everything was going and made me feel super comfortable being away from my animals. Thank you so much for everything!”
About: I’ve been around dogs/cats for years and have built experience throughout my years of working at a daycare. They will get all the love and care they need. I work full time but my days usually end by 1 or 2pm. I have a very flexible schedule. I can always tweak my schedule around for your pets needs. I do have a fenced in yard. They can be crated if needed. I will work according to their schedule as best as possible. They will get a lot of attention.
About: I’m a vet student and I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs, cats, and farm animals! I’ve administered medication like eye drops and vaccines and I’m comfortable with reactive or feral animals! I’m a part-time student taking classes on Mondays and Wednesdays in the afternoon. Besides those days, I’m free all throughout the week at any time! I have plenty of experience staying at my client’s home including overnight stays. I will make sure to respect any rules my clients have and care for their home the way I’d want someone to care for my own.
“This was our first time using Rover and Jessica was wonderful! She was very responsive, flexible and prompt for the visit times we requested. She was great with our cat and we very much appreciate the attentiveness and care she provided while we were away!”
“What a pleasure it was meeting Karissa to care for our pup! She left us updated every day and shared what she was doing on each visit! Can't thank her enough for making our trip stress free! Will definitely contact her for future vacations! Gia also thanks you Karissa for taking care of her every need!! Thanks!?”
About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs over the past 11 years — including my own, other family members’, as well as friends’ and acquaintances’ — whether it’s for a walk around the neighborhood or spending some quality time while the family’s away Being a teacher, my week availability doesn’t really start till 3:30 (unless there’s a break). However, my weekends are more open, so I have more availability to stop by and visit with your pups! While visiting with your pet, I will keep an eye on them during walks and potty breaks, making sure they are secure on their leash and in their yard.
“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lindenhurst
Elizabeth was spectacular. She was friendly and very communicative. She would constantly update us throughout the time that she was watching our cat and provided us with plenty of information and pictures each time she would drop in. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!
Naomi was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She was flexible, available last minute, and understood both of their needs perfectly. She sent great photos and videos so we were assured they were happy. I would definitely recommend Naomi to watch your pets!
Vivienne is great! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone I can genuinely trust to take care of my pet while I’m away. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience so easy. I would definitely have her watch my pet again and highly recommend her!
Trish did an amazing job of taking care of my cat. Very kind and caring. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. My cat was calm, happy, and well cared for when I returned Trish kept me updated with messages and photos which helped to alleviate any worry about my cat while we were away!
Diego has been doing a great job of taking care of my outdoor kitties for the past several months. My Kitties are a shy bunch, but Diego has been very patient and kind with them, thus helping me to travel without any worries. I would highly recommend Diego to take care of any one's pets while they are away on vacation or for daily visits. Thank again Diego for doing such a great job!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lindenhurst is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

- 81% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
