“Communication and follow-up was outstanding! Our kitties were (I think) happy and well cared-for by Bev, who sent numerous pix and updates for every visit. We could enjoy our trip easily knowing that the cats were fed and loved. Thanks, Bev!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.
“Rosa did a wonderful job again! She has been gaining the trust of my not so trusting cat and is very respectful of her boundaries. My cat now runs up to greet Rosa and allows pets. My elderly mother who lives in the house is also very fond of Rosa and feels very comfortable having her here. Rosa sends pictures and videos during her visits which helps me feel confident that my cat is being well taken care of. I would definitely continue to book with her and encourage others to do so. She is a very kind and thoughtful caregiver.”
About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.
About: I grew up in an animal-loving environment, and I have been a cat-mom since 2016. I love to spoil my babies and I want to spoil yours too! I worked in vet-med for a short time, and I have lots of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm particularly skilled in befriending anxious cats and dogs. I have experience in giving oral medication, administering eye/ear drops, and trimming cat claws. I'm currently available 7 days a week and my schedule is very flexible. I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I enjoy walking daily, and I really enjoy playing with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. My husband and I have two black cats at home, and we treasure them dearly. They get a lot of attention, play time, treats, and snuggles. I am comfortable spending time with your pet in your home, feeding them per your directions, giving any necessary medications, and taking them out for walks/exercise. I can drive your dog to a park or dog park, if desired. I will happily give your pet snuggles and scritches if they want them, but I also respect every animal's personal boundaries. I pay close attention to behaviors and body language that tell me if they feel safe and what kind of attention they want.
“Justine did a great job with our cat. She listened to our needs and routine with our cat. Was friendly and easy to connect with. Lambert warmed up to her immediately. We felt very confident with who we chose while we were away on our trip. I will 100% use Justine again.”
“Adria knows animals! We were so thankful for her not only helping us with some obedience problems (big puppies who don't know their size), but showing us how to maintain the miracles she worked while with our puppies. Will 100% book her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m naturally attentive to animal body language and behavior, so I’m able to notice subtle changes in comfort, mood, energy, and boundaries. I currently live and work on a farm where I care for sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks, including providing hands-on care when animals need medical attention. This experience has taught me to stay calm, observant, and responsive, especially when an animal is stressed, uncomfortable, or behaving outside their normal routine. I understand that every animal has their own personality, relationships, and rhythm, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s established routines closely while meeting them where they’re at. I’m active, attentive, communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s animals and home seriously. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful care, and someone who pays attention to the little things. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days—mornings, afternoons, and evenings—and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to the details that matter to you and your pet. I follow your instructions closely, stay attentive to your pet’s needs and surroundings, and keep their environment calm, clean, and secure. My priority is helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I grew up with and love dogs and would frequently sit for family and friends. I currently have four kitties at home so I’m happy to look after any fur babies you have :) I’m currently in between jobs before moving states so I have full availability. I’m extremely flexible and am more than happy to make time for your animals. My kitties are still getting used to each other so at time things can get tense but making sure everyone has plenty of love and attention and play time is the main goal in the house. I’m happy to do whatever it is that makes your pet most comfortable while you’re gone.
About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.
“Jacqueline is the best!! I have a notoriously difficult (shy and reactive) dog that she handled and cared for very well. She graciously navigated the maze of a gate set up we have for him. She sent timely updates with pictures and is very easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who loves their pets.”
“Booked Mia for last minute care for my cats and I’m so glad I found her! She seems super sweet and thoughtful, and was communicative and responsive to the (many) details I gave her for her time at my place. Will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Lew was sooo awesome with our 2 cats! We eere able to relax and enjoy our trip as we knew the "babies" were well looked after. She even went so far as to put the garbage out for us on the street, and swept up the kitties messes! What a way to ho above and beyond!”

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Irving is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,276 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Irving. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Irving. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
