“Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!”

“Victoria was so good with our cat Luna while we were away for 9 days! This was only our second trip away, and this time Luna seemed totally at ease. Victoria provided such great photos and updates throughout our trip and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with Luna. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for cats for 19 years, starting with my childhood pet. In college I adopted a hospice kitty with kidney disease and helped her pass on with love. For the past few years I have raised a rambunctious tortie from kitten to adulthood. I have been cat sitting for friends and coworkers for years. I am a student with good availability. I am a student and available most days and times. I am available weekends. I can come for multiple visits. I can drive to your house. I am good at catching bolting kitties trying to make a run for it. I will make sure your beloved pet is safe and sound.

About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.

“Jinghong was seriously the best! 🥹❤️ She took such amazing care of Ara and Maru, and I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them. I loved getting daily videos and updates—it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even kept me updated on their litter box habits and poop, which I really appreciated because it showed how attentive she was to every little detail. 😂🐱 Ara and Maru looked so happy and comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my babies! 100% recommend Jinghong, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”

“WOW. Just WOW. Rivera is the best sitter EVER. I am so impressed with the detailed check-ins that she sent and how much I could tell she really loved being with my cat. To see pictures of him playing and relaxing made me SO happy. Rivera went above and beyond and I would give her 25 stars if I could! She is hard-working, kind, passionate, detail oriented, responsible, and just an all around great person. I trust her and will definitely be reaching out to her again and again. I literally was itching to get my card twice a day to see all the incredible photos she would send and her funny, thoughtful updates. I know my cat, Ferris, is going to miss her!! Rivera is an animal lover and great sitter through and through!”

Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.

This is our second time using Christina to watch Chloe, and she continues to be absolutely the best. She went above and beyond when Chloe was having some belly issues — including cleaning up an accident on the carpet without a second thought. She vacuumed daily, brought in our packages, and communicated with us the whole time, from key pickup to drop-off. It’s clear she genuinely cares for Chloe like her own. We’d use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes the extra mile.

Once again, Karen is the absolute best! She was a bit concerned that my pet , Sheba was not using the bathroom and contacted us for her usual habits so we could get to the bottom on it. Sheba did well after that and was happy upon our return from vacation.

Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!

Geoff took excellent care of our two cats, Dexter and DeeDee, while we were away on vacation for a week. He was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated after each visit with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Geoff again. Highly recommended!

Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!

We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lyndhurst

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lyndhurst on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 12,675 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lyndhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyndhurst. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
