“Bianca was great! Upon our initial meeting, she was very friendly and made sure that she understood my cat's needs. When the time came for her to care for my cat, she was timely and communicative with her updates and gave my cat the proper care and attention she needed. I would certainly book with Bianca again! Thank you!”
“Barbara receives high marks for her care of our boys Mickey and Joey. Sounds like our kitties made fast friends with Barbara and followed her around on her visits. I know they enjoyed play time - although that was difficulty to capture on camera. I would love to have Barbara here again the next time we travel. Laura Q”
“Shirley was careful, diligent and kind she took this care taking responsibility seriously and was very good with our cat. She gave us good status updates on how her behavior and mood was her poo status and how much or how little she was eating. Thanks Shirley.”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”
“I have been meaning to leave Molly a review for a long time! I’ll summarize why she’s an incredible cat sitter below. 1) You can tell she really cares about our cats. 2) She always sends fun updates. 3) She put a lot of effort into winning over our super shy cat who has NEVER come out for a cat sitter. Now he rolls over for belly rubs when she comes over! (How do I know? See point 2) This last time really takes the cake though and is what compelled me to write a review. I made an error on the booking and missed a whole day in the middle of our vacation. Molly reached out ahead of time and asked about the missing date, which I appreciated SO MUCH because I would have been worried sick about the boys being left alone or without food for a full day. I’m so glad she reached out and the peace of mind I get for knowing my cats are in good hands is worth everything. If she’s looking for the extra business, you should absolutely book her for your pet sitting services.”
“Cristina took wonderful care of my 4-month-old kitten for a week while my family and I were out of town. She communicated well, responded promptly, and sent us pictures every day. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my kitten and took great care of her. Cristina followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Before we returned, she took out the kitty litter garbage and left the bathroom clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter!”
About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.
About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊
“Jestine was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very professional and communicative. Timely and the dogs loved her. Our vacation was stress free because she was so capable. Would definitely hire again.”
About: Life long dog lover who’s been professionally walking dogs for the past 5 years . I have a special bond with each and every dog. With my kids grown and out of the house I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and give them undivided attention I have a fenced yard and a playful Pomsky and golden doodle to keep your fur baby entertained for hours. They will have a great time staying with us!
About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.
“Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))”
About: Pet care experience What sets you apart from other sitters? Be sure to include any special skills like training puppies or senior care. Book me it’s worth it. I am currently a teacher in Newark. So I am done at 4:30. To make sure I am there in time, 5:30 works best for me everyday during the weekdays. I provide reliable, attentive care by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection while keeping them safe and comfortable.
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two dogs I walk and board as well as a dog at home. I’m committed to keeping the dogs in my care safe, and making sure they are having a great time. Currently I have a pretty open schedule and could work with you on the details. Available 7 days a week, days and nights. Long term or short term. I walk the dogs two or three times a day. Often walk the woods in the reservation and use the dog park. My yard is fenced in and private. Have dog at home (Messi) who loves dogs and company. If you’re more comfortable having your pet caged, we can make arrangements for that or whatever makes you comfortable.
About: I've loved animals my entire life and have been surrounded by pets since I was a child. My experience includes volunteering at Furry Friends, where I helped care for animals and learned the importance of patience, compassion, and meeting each pet's individual needs. I've also provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors, including watching my neighbor's pets while they were away on summer vacations, caring for my sister's dog, and looking after my own two cats. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and enjoy building trust with both pets and their families. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to care for your furry family members. As long as I have a little advance notice, I'm happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the love, attention, and reliable care they deserve. Whether it's a quick drop-in or extended care, I'm committed to being there when you need me most! I love making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away! I stick to their normal routine by making sure they're fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), cuddles, and all the attention they want while always respecting their unique personalities and boundaries. I keep their space clean, make sure they're comfortable, and send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in caring hands!
About: I’m responsible dog lover and love going on walks! Don’t mind picking up poop either! You can rest easy with your baby in my hands! I paint full time so pet care will be my second job and the pets will take most of ny attention which I don’t mind! My personal pets are taken care of with lots of love and treats! They are also taken to the vet when they need their monthly treatment. My cats receive the utmost care and attention.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irvington
Shannon was WONDERFUL and we highly recommend her! We had a 'meet & greet' a few days prior and she was thorough, professional and so good with our dogs. She is so caring and we rested easy knowing our dogs were in her care while we were away. She was also an excellent communicator, followed all instructions for the dogs and was one of the best dog sitters we've ever had. We are very happy that we found her and our pups are, too!
Jullien has been phenomenal with our dogs Annie and Lucy. We trust him in our home and with our fur babies. He provides thorough Rover cards with beautiful photos and he's communicative and organized. We would recommend Jullien to anyone who would like to have their pets well cared for and safe.
I was in search of a trust worthy and reliable dog sitter and lucky Rover sent Lexy and I Akshay! Super friendly, flexible, and reliable. The most important factor is that Lexy feels comfortable and safe with him! We look forward to many more walks and home stays.
Kethely is such a sweetheart and was amazing with our baby pomsky! She was such a big help when we needed someone for drop in visits while on vacation. She always sends daily videos and pictures so that we were constantly updated on how our puppy was doing, and it gave us peace of mind knowing the good care our fur baby was in. We would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable caring pet sitter!
Bianca was amazing while my husband and I were away! She was so prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also showed us so much love, care, and patience, especially with our three dachshunds—especially our little guy, who was a bit anxious and timid at first. Dachshunds, especially three, can be a bit of a challenge and can get a little chaotic, but she handled all three with such compassion. She even offered some alternative options when scheduling conflicts came up. Thanks again, Bianca! We’re already looking forward to booking with you again :)
Jennifer has a special relationship with Jolene - 10 minutes before Jenn arrives, always on time, Jolene starts to get excited and ready for her long walk. Rain, Sleet, Snow, Bad Attitudes (the dog) and even in sickness (Jolene is getting old) - Jennifer is here for us.
Veronica took care of our dog while we went to Paris. We ended up getting stuck in Paris two extra days because of the blizzard that hit the northeast. Veronica took our dog to her place so she could make sure she was okay during the storm. She went far beyond what we expected of her. I cannot recommend her enough. Your pet will be in excellent hands with Veronica!
Chris is amazing! My puppy is very high energy and can be quite mouthy, and he handles him so calmly and confidently. Chris has a kind, steady demeanor that our puppy immediately responds to, and he’s incredibly patient. Chris is also extremely professional, reliable, and communicative — I always know how things are going and feel totally at ease when he’s with my pup. It’s clear he really understands dogs and knows how to work with challenging puppy behavior. I feel very lucky to have found him and highly recommend!

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 Irvington 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
