“Alexandra is wonderful! Our dog loves her, and is always excited to see her. Alexandra has been great at taking intros slow and working with us to get our dog used to her entering the house when we are not home. Her calm demeanor and patience are perfect for an anxious pup.”
About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.
“Grace has been a tremendous help with taking care of Bianca. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating. We feel very fortunate to have found someone as kind, caring, and trustworthy as Grace. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
“Michael and Alyssa were great with my dogs, Tokyo and Milan. They followed everything exactly how I asked, which I really appreciated. It made me feel a lot more comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Tokyo and Milan were well taken care of, stayed on their normal routine, and seemed really happy. I also liked getting updates while I was away , it helped me relax knowing everything was going smoothly. I’d definitely trust Michael and Alyssa again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and attentive dog sitters.”
“Sophie was great! We are very grateful to have found her in the app and booked with her. She is very reliable and provided prompt pictures and reports about our Bagel while we were away. We will definitely book with her again in our future time away. Thank you Sophie!”
“Tamette and Ahn were wonderful with Daisy when they stopped by to meet her for the first time before we were going to be away. They were gentle and patient with her and she warmed up to them quickly. Tamette let me know how it went in detail when I asked, which I really appreciated. We would definitely use her again, and hope to leave Daisy with Tamette and Ahn at their home when we go away for a week in January.”
“Becky rules. Very responsive, very communicative, did a great job of taking care of our kitties despite a snow storm. Sent great pictures and knew how to interact with our shy one. Would book again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Thandi was AWESOME—we were so grateful to find her! We were in town for a wedding with our pup and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of and it was an easy process for us. Thank you Thandi!!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own, including one with a heart condition, so I’m very comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. Giving medication twice a day is already part of my daily life, and I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are. I also regularly care for my neighbor’s dog, who requires medication, as well as my sister’s cats, dogs, and rabbits. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling pets with a wide range of needs, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or specialized care, I’m someone who will treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I am available anytime before 7:00 am and anytime after 4:00 M-F. I am flexible during the weekends and can be available all day. I have an apartment in walkable Sleepy Hollow that is scattered with parks for you pets to explore. Additionally, I have friendly cats to help exercise and engaged your pets during the day.

Just let me know what you need! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and have fairly wide availability during the day and evenings. I am also available most weekends for walks, boarding, and drop-ins. I don't currently offer pet-sitting services at this time, but I'm happy to cater to your dogs needs for any walks, boarding, or drop-ins.
About: My 3 kids and I run a small business caring for animals mostly dogs. All 3 are in their 20’s. My son, Adam does most of the walks and house sitting, I handle the boarding. My reviews are not only for me but for my boys as well. I come from a long line of animal lovers and grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters. Animals are my life! They offer unconditional love and rely on us to give them love, affection and to meet all of their basic needs. I own my own home on a private dead end street. When your fur babies are here, they are part of our family and are never left alone. There is always someone at home. My mission is to make sure all pups in my care, feel safe, loved and happy. I recently left my job in the medical field. I’m spending my time now with my adult children and my dogs. Life is too short to not do what you love everyday Safety is a priority in my home and I live on a private street with only two houses so there is absolutely zero traffic here
“Jessica took great care of my two shy kitties while we were away. We got detailed updates throughout the week and she made sure they got their wet food and some treats. She even managed to lure them out of hiding, which for these two is saying a lot. We hope to have her watch them again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always been very involved in their care, from daily walks and feeding to grooming and play. I’ve also taken an active role in training my dogs, helping them build good habits and feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Being around animals comes very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same attention and kindness I would give my own. I work full-time during the day, but I make time in my routine for pet care because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m available on weeknights and weekends, and I love using that time to stay active—whether that’s going on walks, spending time outdoors, or giving pets the attention and care they need! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m committed to being reliable, present, and attentive whenever I’m with your pet. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow their usual routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means being active and engaging or calm and patient. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and organized. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”
“Andrea was great! She seemed comfortable to be at my place and with my 2 cats which is what I was hoping for! She is kind, caring and enthusiastic! Would absolutely use for future needs and would recommend to anyone needing pet care!”
About: I am a dog mom who believes that the dogs are our greatest companions and deserve the best! I will treat your dog with utmost respect, care, and love. I currently work remotely on a part-time basis which affords me the flexibility to be available to care for your pet/pets. I have a car so I can easily get to/from your home. I am very responsible, considerate and respectful. I will care for your pet as if it were my own. I will provide your pet with plenty of exercise, attention and love if there are any special requests, I can also accommodate those.
About: My parents got me my first dog Tokyo, when I was 9 , a beautiful short-haired black and brown mutt and I've been dog-crazy ever since. I recently moved to New York leaving my 10-year-old Great Dane, Maxine, with my parents, which breaks my heart . I mostly work from home, so I absolutely jumped at this opportunity to walk and look after other people's dogs. From dogs that are larger than life, and drag you from place to place (like my own), to the smallest and petite of canines (my sister had a Maltese terrier), I have a life-time of experience . I'm really feeling the absence of my friend and will happily take your dog for some fresh air. I'm an artist, I work from home, so I am fully flexible. I write at night as that's when I'm most inspired so I'd love to use to my days to do something I love. I have a lot of experience with larger dogs, I can crate them, walk them and give them their medication. When it comes to cats, I let them do their thing and give them attention should they ask.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irvington
Corinne was extremely professional and reliable while dropping in on our dogs when we were away. Her updates were very thorough and she gave me peace that my house and my dogs were doing great the whole time we were away. She sent updates on how much they ate, drank and if my dog took her medicine. I really appreciated her check ins and all the photos she shared.
Tamette and Ahn were wonderful with Daisy when they stopped by to meet her for the first time before we were going to be away. They were gentle and patient with her and she warmed up to them quickly. Tamette let me know how it went in detail when I asked, which I really appreciated. We would definitely use her again, and hope to leave Daisy with Tamette and Ahn at their home when we go away for a week in January.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Irvington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
