About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.
About: I have loved cats and dogs all my life, and have even made dog grooming my career. I have over 18 years of experience working with dogs, and caring for them outside of work. Pets are our best friends and family, and caring for them is a passion of mine. I am available seven days a week, typically, and work part time, currently. My availability is open in the later afternoons and evenings, with mornings available upon request. I have cared for my cat for over 13 years. I regularly care for my sister’s 2 dogs and cat when she is out of town. I care for my roommate’s cat and dog regularly and when she is away. Dog walking, pet feeding and loving- are regular activities for me.
“Jennifer has been walking my dog weekly for over four months now and he loves her! She provides pictures every time, but more importantly, he is tired every evening afterward. She knows the area and takes him on great long walks. She has also made friends with the cat who warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Jennifer for being so wonderful with Jasper and Diego!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“I am very thankful we found Bev to care for our cat Cote. Cote is a tamed feral cat and a long haired domestic. She is timid and slow to warm up to newcomers and adding to the quandary Cote is a perfect Primadonna. About 2 hours after we left Bev went over to check on Cote and sent a picture of Cote's surprised expression!! We requested three 1/2-hour check-ins a day. Within a couple of feedings, Bev sent an image showing Cote eating treats out of her hand!! Cote will only eat her wet food warmed and with a bit of water added and stirred into it, and Bev had no trouble doing that. Bev also realized that Cote required her food to be located wherever she was sitting in order for her to eat. In one picture Cote was eating her warmed food in the lawn!! Bev also earned the ability to pet Cote. The pictures and comments Bev sent were fun and comical and she stayed in contact with us the whole time we were gone. Bev has an innate sense about animals and their needs, and I feel very comfortable taking vacations now that we have found Bev to look after our furry Primadonna.”
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
About: Hello! My name is Felix, I'm nonbinary, my pronouns are they/them, and I've lived and worked with animals for over a decade! Before entering the working world, my experience came from my own pets. I'm often asked by family, friends, and neighbors to take care of their pets while they're gone. Sometimes even just if they need assistance giving their pup a bath! My experience lies mostly with cats and dogs, but I'm also familiar with reptiles and comfortable with smaller mammals. I've worked in professional petcare with multiple species of animals and as a sitter specifically for about 4 years now. My schedule is currently open! Which means I'm able to dedicate my time to your furbabies! I'm open to staying in your home for the entire time you'll be gone, or I can just pop in for potty breaks and meals. I'm a fast learner and take detailed notes to make sure I won't forget anything! To keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe, not only do I follow instructions to the letter, I pay close attention to your pet to learn their behavior. What makes them happy? What are their boundaries? Every pet is unique. They all have different experiences and personalities. Respect for that fact is the most important part of meeting new animals. I will strive to not only make sure you're comfortable with me caring for your pets, but to ensure your pets are comfortable with me as well.
“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”
About: We've taken care of dogs for many years. Neighbors and friends rely on us to walk, drop in on, and host their pups. We currently don't have a dog of our own and cherish each of our guests that much more! I work in a home office in the yard and my husband is home all day. We have all the day to keep your pup occupied and when our 2 kids get home from school, your dog will get playtime, loving, petting, walking, and more snuggling! We have a fully fenced yard and welcome your pet anywhere in the house. We live in a lovely neighborhood with lots of green space to run and play.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Sonia is fantastic! She’s very professional and always on time. She takes such wonderful care of our dog (he’s always so excited to see her!) and she sends daily updates and pictures, which we absolutely love! We will definitely rebook with Sonia for future needs!”
About: I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, and gentle approach they require. As both a veterinary professional and the owner of an anxious dog, I am skilled at building trust to help nervous pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Senior dogs are another area where I have significant experience! I understand the importance of maintaining medication schedules and am comfortable administering a variety of medications. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets with unique medical and behavioral needs. Whether your dog is anxious, highly energetic, affectionate, independent, or a little bit stubborn, I want to providing care that meets their individual needs while ensuring they feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. Thursday through Sunday, I have full availability and can provide attentive care throughout the day. I also send regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Monday through Wednesday, I work 12-hour shifts. During those days, I am available for overnight stays and can complete potty breaks and daily care before work (around 6:00 AM), during my lunch break (approximately 12:00–1:00 PM), and after work (around 8:00 PM). water is always available and refreshed regularly. I am highly accustomed to following structured feeding and medication schedules. You can trust that your pet's meals and medications will be given on time following your instructions! I enjoy providing plenty of affection and attention to pets who seek it. Whether your dog loves to be out playing fetch or prefers a little more relaxing, I adjust my care to their individual personality and comfort level. Communication is a priority for me. I typically provide photo and text updates every 1–2 hours so you can stay updated on your pet while you're away. If you prefer fewer updates, I am happy to accommodate your preferences.
“My pups are always excited when they hear Julia is dropping on them! Julia takes good care of them, is prompt, responsive, and sends back the cutest photos with a lovely visit report.”
“Caitlin goes beyond expectations. This is the 2nd time I hire her to check in on my cat and I'm very happy with her professionalism. Her visit photos and notes are lovely and they give me peace of mind that my cat is doing well.”
“Rosa is a wonderful and caring person. She is very intuitive and instantly gained trust from my cats. She successfully delivered fluids to my kitty with kidney disease and provided me with updates. I would definitely rebook with Rosa.”
“Mia was so good to TJ, lots of attention, handled new feeding instructions and his potty accidents well! He was relaxed and happy when I returned - rare for him.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
As a first time user of Rover, it gave us a lot of confidence to meet Tyler in advance at our house and review the details of cat care. Tyler was right on time every day and sent me pictures which was so lovely. Even my moody cat warmed up to him after a few days! I think he did a great job and I plan on bringing him back for our next trip!
Llewyn is simply the best. They are kind and patient with my shy kitties and even managed to get a close up photo of my little feral kitty! They were flexible and responsive and this kept me confident the cats were well cared for while I was away. I will rebook with them for sure!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Irving on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
