“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.”
“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.”
“Courtney is FANTASTIC! I've been working with Courtney for about a year now and my cat and I appreciate her so much. She is responsive, takes excellent care of my cat, and gives him all the attention that he wants when I'm away. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is a great communicator. I always love the pictures she sends and the thoughtful check-ins she writes. She is always easy to work with and I really appreciate her!!”
“Austin was wonderful! Nubbitz and i will be a reoccurring customers if he’ll have us. He sent pics of my cat everyday and eased my crazy separation anxiety with his professionalism. 10/10”
“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.”
“Christopher has been great for drop-in visits with my two dogs. My 5 year old doodle Ruthie is nervous around strangers and he put her at ease pretty quickly. My 4 month puppy Bodhi loves his play time with Christopher as well. He’s very attentive with Bodhi’s puppy antics and makes sure the dogs don’t play too rough. Christopher’s prompt communication before and after visits and genuine care for animals definitely earns him a 5 star recommendation!”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Summer, your friendly outdoorsy pet sitter! 👋 A little bit about me: My family has fostered cats and dogs ever since I was a little girl! I had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats from all walks of life; from training puppies and kittens to end of life care for senior or injured animals. Our animals have always been the center of our world. 🤍 Since moving from my Indiana home, I have been taking care of my fellow neighbors furry friends for the past 5 years! I have experience with dogs and cats of any size and temperaments and LOVE to be outdoors. With my new work from home job, I’ve been looking to fill my mornings and evenings and would love to meet your little companions! I have two beloved cats of my own, Coco and Moss! Coco, my soul cat, was found as a feral kitten and now lives her best life lounging in the sun. Moss was born from a momma cat that we rescued 3 years ago and has been my little best friend ever since! I have a full time work from home job and will be available between 5:30 - 8:45 am and 6:45 - 8 pm Monday through Friday! I have a 30 minute lunch break daily and can stop by depending on distance. I am also open to weekends as well and can be more flexible with my time. I am a planner and will always know in advance when I will be out of town or gone for the weekend! Ensuring a safe and calming environment is my first priority when taking care of your pet. Building trust with a new human takes time and patience and is not a process I will rush. Since my services will take place in a clients home or in the neighborhood for dog walking, I am open to meet and greets so your beloved pet feels safe in my presence.
“Madison was amazing! She watched my cat and was very communicative the entire time. She made sure to send pictures and made sure we were aware of how my cat, Mishti was doing. I’ll definitely book with Madison again for future trips!”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned pets almost my entire life. I’ve had cats, turtles, and dogs! There’s not an animal I wouldn’t love. Animals has always been a security blanket for me. I currently own 1 dog, her name is Trixie. Shes a rescue and came with a lot of trauma. Shes been making huge progress. I had a 14yo Yorkie Poo who recently passed— he lived a long, happy life. I am attentive, loving, playful, organized, and happy to help where I can! I am a full time teacher so my Summers are pretty open! I can be available Monday-Saturday starting early mornings to evenings. I can be very flexible. I have a fenced in backyard where my dog can run freely. We go for leashed walks around the neighborhood as well. I know how to crate train. I had a senior dog who passed at 14yo so I know how to take care of senior dogs who takes medication. I am active if dogs need to release energy. I’m organized and can stick to a schedule/routine for dogs in training. I can do it all! Lol
“Randy was absolutely wonderful at taking care of our pets while we were on vacation (a dog and a cat). He was communicative and took many pictures during his drop ins. Our dog ended up peeing on the upstairs carpet multiple times while we were away and he took the initiative to clean it up for us. Randy also came out a week before we left to meet the animals so the dog/cat could get used to him being around for the week.”
“Susan is very reliable and really cares for your pet. I really appreciated her efforts in making sure your pet is well taken care of and is a great communicator.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Sandra was so incredibly thoughtful and kept us dog parents at ease! Our babies and our house were well taken care of, and she went out of her way to ensure they got fantastic care while we were away for the holidays. She was incredibly friendly from the first time she came over for a meet and greet, and paid such close attention to detail. We highly recommend Sandra!”

Kim took wonderful care of our two senior cats while we were away, and she also went above and beyond by taking care of a few extra tasks we had requested, like watering our plants. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our home and our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Kim again the next time we travel. Thanks so much, Kim!

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,445 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lyndhurst. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
