“Courtney did a great job caring for Molly at our house while we were traveling. She took on the job last minute and she still made time to come by to do a meet and greet beforehand. We appreciated the numerous photos and updates she sent!”

Despite my work commitments, I am dedicated to incorporating pet care into my daily routine. I prioritize morning and evening sessions for feeding, walks, and quality time with your pet. Additionally, I ensure that your pet has a comfortable environment during the day. Communication is key, and I'll keep you informed with updates, so you can have peace of mind while you're at work. When caring for your pets in your home, I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment where they feel relaxed and secure. I adapt to their familiar surroundings and stick to their usual routine, from meal times to rest and play. Daily walks and engaging activities are part of every visit, and I tailor my care to your pet’s personality and needs. Regular communication and updates, including photos, ensure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Our experience with Christina was wonderful. She kept in contact, sent pictures and was very responsible. She was very thorough with the house, Ruby's needs and everything we expected. She is a very sweet girl. We would definitely have Christina again. Ruby loved her.”
“Excellent communication. Dejaun was able to quickly connect with our dog, who can be skittish with new people. He sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He stayed in our home and left it really neat. We will definitely contact DeJaun the next time we go out of town!”
About: I have has pets since I was 5 years old. Dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, fish, and reptiles! I enjoy caring for all living creatures, even snakes and spiders! I am working part time, mainly Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights so I have LOTS of availability during the week days and nights to take care of your pets! I have many years of experience with on leash and off leash walking, fenced and open yards, and crating. I have a lot of experience with dogs that have been through extreme trauma, so I can easily adapt to their specific needs and routines so that they are safe and well taken care of!
“Peyton was amazing!! Very accommodating, communicative, and a true professional! Our dog Toby felt comfortable with Peyton immediately, and we could tell how happy he was in every update picture she sent us. 100/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“Devaney was great! My dog Junie takes a little extra time to warm up to people- Devaney was patient, allowing Junie to slowly build comfort. Devaney was communicative, sending pictures throughout the weekend, and left my house very clean! Would definitely recommend”
“Chris and Mandy did a great job pet-sitting our dogs. One of our dogs has a touch of vertigo, the other takes daily meds, and both can be dog-reactive. They handled everything easily, like the experienced dog owners they are.”
“Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking again!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I can groom, bathe, walk, and clean up throw up. I have been relied on by friends and family to let their dogs out and feed them while they are out of town. I am currently a college kid searching for an internship, so my days are wide open! I tend to go on walks during the day, so bringing along a furry friend would be great company. I will follow the directions given to me so your dog will be comfortable with a stranger entering their house. I am great with boundaries.
About: I have experience with many different animal species thanks to my work at the zoo! Patience and respect are the two most important elements I've incorporated into any interaction I have with animals. I care for my own cats every day, and frequently help my friends and family with taking their dogs on walks and stopping in to check on them. Adding your pet to my routine would be as natural as heading to the store or grabbing coffee. I work as a bartender, so even on the days that I work, stopping by to check on a pup or walk them during your workday is easy. I've stayed at multiple homes to care for other people's dogs. A weimaraner, an ibizan, a couple boxer-shitzu mixes, some terrier mixes, and many more! Catering to the needs of each individual dog and home comes easily to me, and following instructions for securing pets or households is a top priority.
“Anthony was great. Allowing someone access to our home and our dogs was something we’ve never done before, Anthony made the entire process a breeze and settled our worries right away. We set up a meet and greet, he was punctual, outgoing, and friendly.. our 2 German shepherds are normally a little weary of strangers, but they welcomed him right away. Anthony and his wife were so thorough with updates, pictures, etc. We scheduled with him for in-home boarding at our home, he visited with them more times than I expected, he walked them both days too. He cared for our dogs as if they were his own. We will definitely be scheduling with Anthony again in the future.”

“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”

Molly was able to watch our dogs very last minute. She was a good communicator throughout the stay and was helpful about bringing in our packages. She also took the sheets off the guest bed before leaving, which we appreciated! Overall, a great experience!
Rebecca stayed with my sweet senior Eevie for 4 days and I came home to a relaxed, and clearly well cared for dog. Eevie had a UTI when I left town so Rebecca gave her antibiotics, probiotics and two other daily medications. Rebecca sent photos during her visit and responded right away when I checked in by text. In addition, I came home to an extremely clean house. Rebecca is professional, accommodating, down to earth and very kind. She's a real gem!
Falyn did a great job watching our three high energy dogs and cat for the weekend. Our animals were so happy with her care and we can tell they loved having her! She was responsive and easy to work with. Our house was also just as tidy when we came home! Will hire her again and again!!!!
Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lyndhurst is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $58 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lyndhurst walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lyndhurst maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
