About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

About: I have always loved animals, and I have 3 years of experience working as a veterinary technician assistant, where I learned how to care for animals with different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I have also cared for dogs and cats for family and friends, so I am comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away! I am patient, dependable, and attentive to little things that make each pet comfortable! Every animal is different, so I would be more than happy to follow their normal routines and give them the same love and care they are used to! Whether they are energetic or a little shy, I will treat them like they’re my own! I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, so I am available most days and can work around your pets routine! I am primarily offering drop in visits and dog walks, and I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. I would love to help out whenever you need someone to give your pet some extra attention or exercise! I understand that letting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal! I’m respectful of your space, careful to follow your instructions, and always focused on keeping your pet safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, stick to their normal routine as closely as possible, and send updates and pictures during the visit.

About: If this is your first time booking, use https://www.rover.com/sit/noran93663 for 20 dollars off! Ive had the opportunity over the last few years to care for pups ranging from 10weeks to senior dogs! I’ve also had the experience working with dogs of varying temperaments from skittish to semi aggressive. My goal is to provide loving care to your animals while providing that reassurance that your pets are being well loved! I’m currently a stay at home mom so care for the animals can be very flexible and fit whatever schedule works best for them. Keeping the dog on their routine helps to minimize any stress! I have a fenced in backyard and I do have a very playful pup that would love to have a friend or pal to play with!

About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.

About: I’ve cared for birds, chickens, ducks, and dogs—there’s nothing I can’t handle! I’ve wanted to be a vet since Kindergarten, and pet sitting is the closest I’ve gotten so far. I am a college student so I might be out of your house for 2 hours or so but I’ll always let you know. I’m always available to watch the babies. I make sure to take the dogs out frequently and mostly love on the pups if I can’t cuddle your dog/dogs please don’t book me.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 4 and I’ve always been connected to them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats 7 years ago. I love all animals and give them consistent attention and affection when I am caring for them. I also take care to follow any instructions given and needs the animal may have. I am a fabulosa communicator and always send daily check ins! I also have several references I can share along with the reviews here. I make my own schedule and work around 8 hours per week so I am open for animals who need a lot of attention and care and flexible with last minute needs. I care for pets in my clients homes (or mine) according to their needs and specifications. I also treat pets like family so animals with anxiety or higher needs do very well with me.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love animals and believe they deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our own family. I'm dependable, responsible, attentive to details, and understand how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pets. I believe every pet has its own personality, needs, and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's caring for energetic puppies, providing extra patience and attention to senior pets, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pets as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and one less thing for you to worry about! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be flexible and dependable. I'm currently looking for the right career opportunity, which gives me flexibility to dedicate time and attention to caring for pets. I understand that consistency is important, whether it's maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I want pet owners to feel confident knowing their pets are receiving reliable, loving care and aren't just being checked on, but genuinely cared for. I have a fenced-in front yard and a pet-friendly home with three dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My pets are safe, loved, and well cared for, and I understand how important it is to provide a secure and comfortable environment. I'm comfortable working pet care into my daily routine and making sure every animal gets the attention, exercise, affection, and care they deserve. I treat every pet like family!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Irvington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 586 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Irvington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Irvington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Irvington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Irvington. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
