“Tez is reliable as always and pretty much the only person I trust with my cats. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail she puts into everything — my cats can be messy sometimes, and she’ll even help sweep up scattered litter or take care of little things like resetting the lockbox on my door back to zero before she leaves. It’s such a small thing, but it really reflects how thoughtful and thorough she is. I always have peace of mind knowing my cats are in her care.”

“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 is the absolute BEST sitter. I needed someone to check on my cats during a week-long work trip and he was extremely cordial, communicative, and went above and beyond for this nervous pet parent! He was amazingly attentive and catered to my cats quirky behaviors without issue. I 1000% will be requesting his services again for all my future travel.”

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 animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens.

My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
About: I'm originally from Bolivia, and animals have given my life a deep sense of purpose. At 15, I rescued my first dog. Sadly, I couldn’t save him — but that moment changed my life. I promised myself I would help as many animals as I could. Since then, I’ve rescued and rehomed over 70 stray animals, two now live in Virginia, and five are still with my family in Bolivia. Through this journey, I’ve cared for animals in critical physical and emotional conditions — including senior dogs needing special medical care, mothers with puppies, and dogs with disabilities. This experience has given me deep knowledge of comprehensive animal care and a strong sense of empathy and patience. I also studied tourism and launched a pet-friendly travel business in Bolivia, planning and leading unforgettable 2–3 day trips with up to 25 dogs. I have strong experience managing groups of dogs in large, open spaces such as hiking trails, green parks, and even on buses during transport. These adventures were designed to create joyful, safe, and enriching experiences for both pets and people. Although I currently can’t have pets at home due to housing restrictions, animals remain at the center of my heart. Working with them allows me to stay connected to what brings me the most happiness. I offer care rooted in real experience, deep compassion, and a lifelong love for these incredible beings. I’m currently studying as I prepare to begin a career in education, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to accommodate last-minute calls or changes. Going for walks is already part of my daily routine — I enjoy walking long distances, so combining that habit with dog walking feels like a perfect match. I also have the freedom to study from anywhere, which means I can easily spend time in homes or outdoor spaces while caring for pets, giving them the attention and companionship they need throughout the day. At the moment, I’m unable to care for pets in my home due to housing restrictions. However, I’m fully available to care for pets in my clients’ homes or during walks and drop-in visits. I always provide gentle, respectful, and attentive care, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space.
“My dog was nervous about hanging out with a new person but Sean was so patient with her and she warmed up beautifully. His experience as a trainer showed. He communicated well. I will happily have him back next time I need.”

About: My family owns an animal sanctuary, so I’ve grown up around animals and have had a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention and care. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I’m also very patient with pets that are shy or take a little time to warm up.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for my whole life and absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule outside of school. I’m available anytime on weekends and on weekdays after 3 PM. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide your pet with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

About: I’ve recently moved to NJ about two years ago. Prior to moving here, I have walked many many dogs including Great Danes, Samoyed, German Shepherds, Yorkies, etc. On occasion I would cat sit my friend’s cats whenever they go on vacation. I love ALL kinds of animals, but do the best when they’re friendly to humans. Im high energy and like to be out going, so I do prefer dogs with lots of energy to play, walk, or run with! I’m a college student working part time over the summer. Despite that, my job is very flexible and I can move things around to fit whatever works best for you. My Saturday & Sunday are busy from 4pm-11pm and my Mondays and Thursday are busy from 11am-10pm, but I can move things around if needed. I only ask that I would get a week in advance notice! I absolutely love playing with animals. I’m high energy myself and seeing any animals happy makes my heart melt. I would take probably hundreds of photos of the fur balls! I work best with animals that are already tamed or don’t bite. I’m also very good with following any type of instructions and would ask questions to sort out any concerns prior to pet sitting.
“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!”


“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.”

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!

Christina is awesome! She made sure our boy got plenty of love and exercise and gave very detailed updates. Not only that - we had an issue with a tricky lock and she went above and beyond to communicate with us and get in the house to ensure Jet was taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely look to her again when we are looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Christina!

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lyndhurst stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lyndhurst with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
