“Minel and Ethan were amazing. They were so friendly and caring for my cat Billy. Minel loves cats, and you could see how excited she was in her videos. They even took care of my fish and 4 chickens, too! When I came home, Billy was looking sharp - she combed him - and he was very calm. I can tell that he really liked her visits; he was not crying like usual, if I have to go into the office. I will definitely be requesting Minel's support the next time I need to go out of town. Thanks!”
About: Hi, I’m Nevin! 🐾 As a proud dog dad to my Great Dane/Lab mix, Bane, I know firsthand that pets are family. I’ve spent my entire life caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves relaxing on the couch, playing fetch, going on long walks, or burning off energy with a run, I’m happy to match their pace. As an athlete, I have plenty of energy for the pups who need a little extra exercise! I currently live in an apartment, so I offer limited boarding and daycare spots to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. If you reach out in advance, I’m available most days of the week and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. My goal is simple: to treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m pretty free through out the day and I’m really an early bird! Most mornings I’m up around 5am walking my pup and would be available anytime after to walk yours too! I stay in an apartment so bane roams freely and comfortably. There’s a dog bed, chew toys, and also a two part cage for bane and another animal if needed.
“Samantha was great with my three-month-old puppy, showing a lot of patience and care. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure he felt comfortable. My puppy took to her right away, and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Bridget was awesome! She arrived on time and followed my care instructions for Louna. I know Bridget took good care of Louna because Louna loved her! I would definitely recommend & I look forward to booking with Bridget again!”
“Grace is awesome! I am so happy to have found her! All 3 of my dogs loved her within the first minute she walked in the door. Grace will be my go to for drop ins as well as my sitter for vacations and long weekends. I highly recommend her for all pet sitting needs.”
“Katia has watched our babies several times now and I have been so grateful for her care and love for our two dogs! She walks them even though she doesn’t need to, watered my plants while I was gone, and always sends lots of photos with each check in. We are so grateful to have someone you trust!”
“Michael was great with taking care of my golden retriever. He came at the time I asked and took her on a great walk and made sure she was cared for while I was out of town.”
About: Growing up with family dogs all my life, I believe they truly are a member of the family! I love going on walks and what would make it more fun….going on walks with furry friends! With over 12 years of pet caring experience, I know I will be the perfect match for you and yours! Currently, I am free all day! So good news, that means I have all day to take care of your pets😊 I look forward to working with you and your pets! Your pets comfortability is my top priority and will take care of them the way that I would take care of my own pets. Please feel free to let me know what ever would work best for them. They are free to roam my home however they please unless advised against.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve regularly watched family friends’ dogs and neighbors’ dogs, and I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog is young and full of energy, needs extra exercise and playtime, or is older and needs a slower, more careful approach, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a chiropractic student, so I have a structured school schedule that allows me to plan my days around pet care. I have a dog of my own, and I make sure he gets outside 3–4 times a day. I also make it a priority to come home from school and check on him to make sure he’s doing well. I would provide that same level of care and attention to other people’s dogs. I’m happy to work walks, potty breaks, and check-ins into my daily routine, and I’ll always make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and taken care of while you’re away. I have a very friendly Mini Goldendoodle of my own who absolutely loves being around people and other dogs. I also have a fiancée who adores dogs just as much as I do, so our home is a loving and welcoming environment for pets. When caring for a client’s dog, I treat them like they’re my own. I make sure they are supervised, safe, comfortable, and getting the attention and care they need. I’m also respectful of each owner’s home and routines and will follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in a safe, caring environment while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal care experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is a part of my everyday life because I’m a pet owner myself. I currently have a French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with the unique needs of brachycephalic breeds and understand the importance of monitoring their activity, breathing, and comfort. I’m currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and my summer schedule is relatively light, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I have always loved animals and volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my undergraduate studies, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. Providing pets compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide food and water, potty breaks, playtime, administer basic medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. For walks, I prioritize making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable, especially during the summer heat. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve cared for a lot of breeds and sizes of dogs, bunnies and cats in the past few years, including pop in walk services, house sitting two or one at a time, feeding, and playing with pets. I love animals and have chosen to not own one of my own so that I can care for others as much as I can I currently work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays which frees up 2 days during the week for me to pay attention to your fur babies, take them on walks, feed them, or even work from pet friendly facilities. I also have my weekends free and can house sit or board for those who need it. My apartment has a play yard available for dogs, I live by a lake and can take your dogs on a walk around the lake or around my apartment depending on your preference. Pets can be crated in my spacious apartment if needed and you are welcome to bring all your toys for your babies.
“Joanna took great care of our kitties while we were out! When we got back, our kitties were in good spirits :-) she went above and beyond in taking them outside, putting on bird tv for them, and ensuring their food bowls were cleaned / water refreshed. Would recommend!”
About: I have had extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, including those who are very young or those with medical conditions. I pride myself on paying attention to detail whether that be interaction, toy, or food preferences in order to ensure your pets feel at home. I am whole heartedly committed to the safety and happiness of you pets while you're away! I work full-time, but I have plenty of free time after work and on weekends to dedicate to pet care. I'm happy to provide walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their routine, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise, to make sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I'll always keep fresh water available, provide meals on schedule, give lots of playtime and affection, and respect any special instructions you have. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and secure while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Thank you for checking in on Tucker while i was away on a business trip! I will def call on you again in the future when we need someone to check up on our little man!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love of dogs and have had several dogs and cats throughout my life. I can take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, throw the ball around outside, give/apply medication if shown how, and anything else you might need. I work full time from home, so I could come by in the morning, stop by for lunch, and again in the evening if necessary. I can do all the standard things to care for dogs and cats, and can give/apply medication if shown how to before. I can take your dogs on a walk around the neighborhood and play games indoors with your cats.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
Winta was phenomenal. Upon meeting she was very friendly, caring and welcoming and treated our dog the same. She sent very detailed daily updates and tons of pictures. She was very attentive to our dogs needs and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in her care. 10/10 would recommend and will most definitely be booking again.
Booked again with Unapol since my baby did so well with them last time. They were able to come an extra time one day when I was worried about some tummy issues and checked my house for accidents. Feels good knowing I can depend on them to do what’s best for my pupper when I’m away. Thanks!

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.
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 Irving 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
