“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”
“Michael was great! He was professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands, and I appreciated the updates and responsiveness. I would definitely recommend him to other pet owners.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Gina was great! I needed a last minute sitter for a family emergency and she was able to accommodate. Brynlee loved her and she sent the most adorable pictures! I would definitely use her again!”
“Everything went super smoothly! I would highly recommend Celine, she took the time to ask questions and get to know our pups and was very helpful. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Brittany took great care of our kitties. She's reliable and communicative and I love the pictures she posts so that I can see my boys are doing well :) Brittany also puts in extra effort to get down our street, which is under major construction, so we appreciate that.”
“Erin was great! She was so good with the cats and very thoughtful. She was also very responsive with any questions or new instructions. We felt at ease leaving the cats and our home for her to take care of while we were away. Thank you Erin!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. When a couple of years ago we lost our senior family dog, I started volunteering with a local rescue and have fostered 20+ puppies over the past few years. Fostering has given me experience with everything from energetic, playful pups to post-surgery care—things like baths, basic grooming, medications (even injections), vet pickups, and lots of patience and love. I also help neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I truly just love being around dogs—and getting outside for walks is a bonus for me too! I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins during the week. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, or multiple visits if needed. I’m also happy to stick to your dogs’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and check-ins, I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on leash, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals all my life. I grew up with dogs specifically. Family members had large breed dogs and we had two toy breeds. I helped care for them all growing up. In 2018 I adopted my own dog while in college. She was a pitbull from the humane society that I named Winnie. Winnie was my best friend and my greatest love. We went on countless walks, hikes, kayak rides, pack walks, barn hunt lessons, camping trips, played fetch at the park, etc. I am well versed in getting outside and having fun with your dog. Winnie was also behaviorally complex as she did not like other dogs and was reactive to them on walks. I spent years working with trainers and researching and teaching myself how to train and manage these behaviors and she made so much progress. Due to this I’m comfortable with dogs with behavioral issues and managing them. In January of 2025 Winnie got sick, and in June she was diagnosed with cancer. I spent every waking moment caring for her, taking her to the vet, paying for chemo treatments, cooking countless foods to try to get her to eat, cleaning up all the accidents, changing diapers, giving meds, etc. I am now very well versed and comfortable with medically complex dogs and all of the care that they require. Winnie passed away on September 6, 2025 and I miss her more than anything. You’d be doing me a favor by entrusting me with the cage of your pets and allowing me to love on them and take them out for some exercise and adventure to help fill that hole in my heart I’m a nursing student so I have class two days a week currently as well as some night shift clinicals. My schedule will change often but for now the calendar reflects my current availability. I will not be caring for pets in my own home. At your home I will follow all of the rules laid out to me and respect your environment as if it were my own. I’ll clean up after your pets, make sure they’re clean before they come indoors, make sure they can’t run out any doors without a leash/fence, etc. Safety is my top priority
About: I have been a pet owner and a pet sitter for over a decade. I grew up with pugs and now have a very happy, sweet, old boxer/pittie mix named Lou. From 2016-2017, I worked at a dog daycare in New York City, walking pets to and from home and daycare, and managing rooms of dogs of all sizes while they played, ate meals, and were boarded. I am comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I love going on long walks as well. I have reliable transportation and am lucky to have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between full-time work as I recently moved back to Cleveland after 7 years in Miami, Florida, so I am very available for your pet care and pet walking needs. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and other pets including hamsters, cats, and birds. I am also comfortable administering medicine as needed, am comfortable crating dogs, and can works with whatever needs your pet may have.
About: I’ve always been a lover of a variety of different animals, but dogs and cats have always had my heart. Over the course of my life, there has always been a dog or cat present, whether I was babysitting for a family member, or just visiting, was lucky enough to hang out with one of their pets. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors! I’m patient and analytical, and will pay close attention to your fur baby! I’m currently working a part time job, but whenever I’m not scheduled I should be free all day to sit your fur baby. I’ll keep a close eye on your dog or cat, and shut down any trouble that might emerge. I’d love to keep your pet busy and engaged if necessary, but if you just need a brief eye on them I can totally do that!
About: I have watched my friends animals for years. I own 2 cats, both rescues. I love all animals and will give you pet the best care possible! My work hours are 6-2:30 Monday-Friday. I have afternoon, evening and weekend availability. I have 2 cats at home, so it would be better if I would work in your home rather than mine. I follow the owners requests, schedule and instructions to make sure to not disrupt your animals schedule. I will keep your pets safe and comfortable and do whatever is necessary to keep it that way.
“Anya is a God send. I work 2nd shift and really need someone to give my Blue that 2nd walk of the day. She is caring and thoughtful and very much appreciated by us both!!!”

Alexis was a great care taker for our dachshund over the weekend! She was very open and receptive to any specific requests we had, shared pictures and videos. Overall our dog appeared to enjoy the time with her and we would definitely reach out again the next time we are out of town.
Madison! Thank you thank you again for your help Saturday. It allowed me to spend time with out-of-town family that I never get to see and it means a lot! Thank you for being available, for taking such good care of my puppy, and for showing her the attention she deserves and needs. Will definitely be reaching out again! I appreciate you!
Amanda is so awesome, attentive, and sweet! She came for a meet and greet before watching our dog and she made sure she got to know him as well as learn everything I had to tell her about our dog and his routine. Her drop in visit was thorough, with regular updates and communicaton and a couple of pictures. We came back to a happy, calm dog on a busy weekend. We are grateful for Amanda and definitely recommend her!
Randy did a great job caring for our 10 yr old Lab. He walked her 2x per day and provided food and water each time. Randy was punctual and stayed for the contracted time. He even took in the mail. Randy used the Rover app to leave a detailed report of every visit, so we were always confident that our dog was being well cared for while we were out of town. We would definitely use Randy 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.
Abigail was so awesome. My dog just loved her got used to her so fast. Baby girl really enjoyed the time she had with Abigail. It worked out so wonderful for being a short notice. I really appreciated her and I am definitely going to use her again she is Baby Girls new nanny 🥰👏🐕

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.

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.

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.

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.
