“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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: 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!
“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!”
“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”
“Courtney was truly amazing!!! She took care of all of our animals with such good care!! She was very attentive to all of them and very responsive to me! I would highly recommend booking with Courtney! We will def be rebooking with her in the future!! All of our pets loved 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!!”
“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.”
“Sandra was wonderful. First time leaving our furbaby and had a better time knowing she was in such good hands. She kept in touch after every visit and sent pictures daily. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Christopher is literally amazing! He would send these fantastic updates every time he was with our Lola and it just put our mind at ease. Lola seemed so happy when you got home and I could tell it was because she was loved while we were away!”
“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.”
“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 was awesome with our beloved cat Regan. She was punctual everyday for her drop in visits and spent extra time with Regan. Lauren was very professional. Regan is a senior cat with some health issues. Lauren was very conscientious when monitoring Regan’s medications and administration which helped us feel more comfortable . We will definitely be using her again.”
“Abby is amazing! She was timely and thorough with her visits and reporting. She was attentive to my baby’s needs and when he needed more play time and attention. She sent plenty of updates and pics of my Bentley smiling! :-) This was our first time using this service and I couldn’t have gotten a better person”
“Susan always does a fantastic job and I can go on vacation knowing that my cat will be well taken care of! She sends us daily pictures and videos and is always in touch if she has any concerns. I highly recommend Susan!”
“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!”

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!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lyndhurst on Rover is $23.31 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 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 July 2026, there are 2,438 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lyndhurst. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
