“Claudia was great! Communicated with me the entire tire and was very patient when we had issues with our remote door lock system. Would recommend and happily use her services again.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Nicole was exactly what we needed! Our pup can be shy, but she immediately loved Nicole, and Nicole quickly mastered all of our girl’s quirks and routines. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
“Baris took fantastic care of our cat, Essie, and I would highly recommend him! He was patient and attentive, which is appreciated since Essie can take some time to warm up. He was also very communicative while we were away. Thank you, Baris!”
“Valeria was great with my cat! She was very responsive, punctual, and genuinely cares about what she does. I loved the pictures and updates she sent when I was away. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
“We loved leaving Kratos with Gargi and Sourav! Kratos got along really well with their dog Archie. We got pictures throughout the day which showed how much fun Kratos had with them! Will be booking again for sure.”
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
“Tez was great watching our 2 elder tabbies!!! I hope she is always available whenever we need her! She really understood both of our cat’s different personalities. Our family loved getting her updates and pictures each day. Our house was left nice and tidy as well!”
“Grace and Marcin are absolutely amazing!! My dogs are both rescues and take some time to warm up to people but they instantly felt comfortable around them. I have nothing but fantastic things to say. Both of them were so patient and caring with my dogs, it made me feel so comfortable while I was away from my pups to know that they were in such great care. I HIGHLY recommend. I will 100% be reaching out to them first when I need my dogs taken care of again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I currently have a fur baby now! She’s super friendly and lovable and loves all animals! She means the world to me and I love taking her outside for walks in to get fresh air. I can’t wait to meet and care for your fur baby! I do have a full-time job but morning walks and feeding are in routine for the morning, afternoon, and nighttime as well. My dog loves to play after I get home from work so that is something they can do together as well. Any daily care or routine can be worked out! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can take your dog on multiple walks throughout the day. I also have a dog who can keep your animal company and I also have a cage if you would like them to be crated if needed.

“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.”

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I work from home 3 days a week, which allows me the flexibility to consistently walk my own dog and take care of his needs- and I am more than happy to do the same with yours! I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lyndhurst
We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕
We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!
Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Julia went above and beyond in every way—keeping us updated regularly, sending photos, and truly caring for our pet as if it were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Reliable, kind, and attentive—we highly recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lyndhurst choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
