“Madison was great! Our shy but sweet kitten warmed up to her really fast and I think they had a great time! Madison was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. She also offered to help out with other house things which was so kind!! Thank you!”
“Anna took great care of my pack on short notice. I was worried as I have never used a dog sitter but my pups loved meeting her which eased my mind. I will definitely rebook with Anna again.”
About: Even though we do not have dogs ourselves, I grew up with many rescue dogs. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pups! I love to play with them, take them for long walks, or just cuddle. I am a full-time university professor. During the school year, I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available Tuesday and Thursday late afternoons evenings. I am happy to schedule weekend care. My summer (mid-May to mid-August) is much more open and flexible. I am available for multiple daily home visits, but not for overnights. Since I had a "super senior" cat who needed daily meds, I am punctual and diligent about care. I am excellent at paying attention to details. I give all animals attentive, loving care!
About: I have my own dog and two cats, I can pick up after and play with your pets. I am easily adaptable, so if your pet requires things like medications I am willing to help. I currently have a part-time job, so I will only be available during weekdays. I am mostly available around midday hours, but can be flexible if I can work it in my schedule. I can take your pet on a walk or simpley watch over your pet for a bit. I myself have a dog and two cats, so I am familiar with feeding and picking up after animals.
“Natalie was beyond amazing! Her warm energy made our dogs feel comfortable which made us comfortable! She went above and beyond for our dog that has a disability. Very responsive and gave so many updates. Can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Catherine took good care of my bunnies while I was on a trip. She put good attention to their care and made sure they were eating well and comfortable!! She also communicated very clearly and promptly which made me feel at ease that they were in good hands. Thank you Catherine!!”
“Sandra was very caring, accommodating, patient, reassuring, responsive and thorough from beginning to end! I really appreciated her texts, notes and pictures, too. I was a nervous pet parent but Sandra took such wonderful care of my cats and put us all at ease. Sandra is top notch!”
“Abigail was amazing- she showed up right on time and even suggested coming an additional time to bring the dogs in early on a very hot day. Definitely recommend her and will be using her frequently!”
“Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Alyssa was Amazing! Communicated the entire time we were on our trip. Pictures from each drop in visit. Our dog absolutely loved her! Huge relief when traveling when we couldn’t bring our pup with us. Will for sure be reaching out to her again our next trip.”
“Molly was amazing! Upon doing meet and greet you could tell she was professional and reliable. She was quick to communicate and great with sending updates. You could tell she really cares about your pets. Will definitely book with Molly again!”
“Did a great job dropping in on my cats while I was out of town. Sent me lots of updates and pictures and really felt like they took good care of them. Will book again next time I'm out of town!”
“Lauren is very reliable and a great communicator. It was such a relief when I had to be out of town for a graduation to have my babies looked in on and see their photos. She also put prescribed meds in the food and gave the one who takes a harness his time in the yard. Thank you again Lauren!”
“Lauren has been amazing with our three doodles. They clearly love their visits with her and it is so nice to know someone has eyes on them during the work day. We definitely recommend working with Lauren!!”
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”

This was the 3rd time we have booked with Courtney, and as usual everything was 100% perfect when we returned. This was a longer trip than normal for us, and we were very appreciative of her care and attention to our cats. Will definitely continue to book with her.
Molly took great cat of my 3 cats! She has a background in pet health care & is skilled in giving medications, as well as pet behavior & health issues, which put me at ease in leaving them for a few days. She is very reliable & great in communicating & sending updates. The cats were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely book with her again.
This was our second time booking with Sirena. As expected, she responded quickly to my request/messages and followed the instructions I left for her perfectly. I was at ease knowing our kitty was in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend booking with Sirena, I know we will ask for her services again.
Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.
We cannot say enough good things about Kim. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly reliable. She took amazing care of our cat Bobby and truly went above and beyond - even bringing our packages inside while we were away, which we really appreciated. Her updates gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Emony was a lifesaver! I had a nine day trip ahead of me and needed to find someone to care for my cat, Peaches. He’s the sweetest cat in the world, but is very shy with people he doesn’t know and will curl up in the boxspring of my bed until they’re gone. So I was very worried about hiring a stranger. I took one look at Emony’s picture and knew she’d be perfect. When she came over to learn the ropes, she was as sweet and as kind as she looked and low and behold, it didn’t take long for him to come out and meet her! This alone was rather miraculous, but over the time she cared for him he let her pet and even brush him! She was absolutely fantastic and from now on, she’ll be his forever sitter. If you’re looking for a kind and thoughtful person to care for your pet while you’re away, I highly recommend Emony.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lyndhurst on Rover is $23.54 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,180 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.
