“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.
“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”
“Andrew is our go to person when I need someone to keep TIMO company’s especially during last minute requests! TIMO always enjoys play time with Andrew and always waits for him and greets him with a hello each time. If anyone needs a dependable person who is good with pets look to Andrew! Timo and I appreciate it!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and had the privilege of sharing 14 wonderful years with my pug, Daisy. She taught me patience, responsibility, and just how much love and companionship a dog can bring. Since then, I’ve continued caring for my neighbors’ dogs, whether it’s feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, and I’ll always provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available before and after work, on evenings, and on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and make sure they always have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
“Victoria is the best cat sitter! She truly cares about our cat Luna, which is evident from her daily updates and pics. Communication is clear and often, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to entrust with our pet.”
“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”
“Gordon is always great with Asher! He is also really good at communicating and Gordon also makes sure I get some fun pictures of Asher when they are hanging out together. Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Dan was awesome! He really helped us out on short notice and over a holiday weekend! Great communication and pictures of the kitties. 10/10 would use Dan’s services again!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.
“5 stars isn’t enough! Maryann is amazing! She treated our pup like one of her own. She kept us updated on each visit with food and walks and we truly enjoyed the pics and videos! She is kind and caring and was honestly so great with our girl!!”
“Jadis was great with my cat, Luna. She read through all my instructions and took excellent care of Luna. I enjoyed the cute photos she took in each of her visits. Luna instantly became friends with her.”
About: I have the unique perspective of being both a "dog person" and a "cat person". I grew up caring for my lively Jack Russell Terrier and I now live with my two cats. I have a deep love for all animals and I am highly attentive to their needs and health. As a college student, I have a very light schedule over the summer, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets! I am very attentive to your pets' needs. I have experience safely walking dogs of all sizes, letting them enjoy themselves while still keeping them secure. I am cautious when it comes to keeping the house secure when checking in and making sure they are eating well.
“This man is the perfect sitter. In fact, he goes over and beyond the call of duty with regard to punctuality, professional manner and knowledge of cats and their behaviors. Aside from the maintenance issues like food, water, litter, etc., he spends considerable, gentle time engaging with the pet with play and -- if the pet isn't too shy -- affection. I highly recommend his services. DSB”
“We were away for 2 weeks, and Rivera had both our kitties eating from her hand - literally! They accepted brushing AND hand-fed treats, which they've never done for any other sitter. I'm impressed!”
About: I cared for family dogs growing up. I had a rescue dog. I walk dogs for neighbors and referrals. I enjoy spending time with animals! I have 2 school age children. I want to have a flexible schedule to be there for my children while earning pay doing something I love! I have a fenced yard and a deck to keep pets safe where I can keep a close eye on them. Safety is my priority.
“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

Andrew was a great cat sitter. He took care of our two cats, making sure our older cat got attention and food (while also giving attention to our very friendly younger cat too). He communicates well and went above and beyond helping with a litter robot issue. I highly recommend Andrew for cat care.
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!
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!
huge thank you for taking such amazing care of Momo! Julia were always on time and communicative for the daily visits！ Momo absolutely adored her, and honestly, getting those cute selfies of the two of you completely made my day! Thank you so much again for everything—you're wonderful! ❤️
Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.
Kat and her family are wonderful! Took time to understand my Ninja and work at his pace so that he could be comfortable, always updated me and doubled checked with me whenever something wasn’t clear. Will most definitely rebook Kat, I highly recommend her very friendly nice and super understanding!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lyndhurst on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,445 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.

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.
