About: I've had dogs for my whole life, and have been called upon to take care of my friends dogs when needed. I am also great to play catch with, so I'll be ready to toss a ball. I am a student, so I have more time in the afternoon than morning, but my schedule is fixed. I am also free early in the mornings, and can do overnights if needed. I think that I work towards keeping the dogs exercised and stimulated, but also being able to draw boundaries. I will fully respect any house rules with the dogs, and will cater towards whatever the owner needs.
About: I have two senior dogs, and plenty of experience walking, feeding, and bathing dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have a tortoise so I’m careful with animals and patient with gaining their trust. Just graduated college and work from home so my schedule is flexible. I also have access to a car so transportation shouldn’t be an issue. I like to gain the dogs trust before taking them out for a walk, so I would usually sit next to them let them come to me and reward them as they get more comfortable being around me either with treats or pets or playing with them.
“Becky kindly stopped in to take care of our two silly doodles while we were out for the night. She was on time, and left us an update, some cute photos, and two happy dogs when we returned! Thank you.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner, I understand how important pets are to a family. I provide dependable walking and sitting services with patience, attention, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I value building trust with both pets and families through consistency, communication, and kindness. I work part-time, but I have open and flexible availability. I am willing to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of clients and provide consistent, reliable care, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while maintaining a calm and secure environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: Throughout my life, I have taken care of many animals- and more specifically dogs. I got my own dog two years ago -after having a family dog who I adored- and trained her to do tasks as a service dog for my partner alongside basic training. I have also watched multiple dogs for friends and family while they are away on vacation or business. Currently, I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I am free from Thursday through Sunday and will be adding more availability throughout the week when my schedule gets consistent. I have been a strong proponent of taking precautionary measures before accidents happen rather than after they occur. Therefore, no matter how trained a dog may be they will be watched 24/7 while outside and leashed for our walks around the neighborhood.
About: I came from another country and brought my pets with me, and I have faced how hard is to find someone who takes care of them. Let me help you and your furry family as it is my own. I work from home in a flexible schedule and can accommodate several days and times for walks and drop-in visits. I drive so I can get to your family in a timely manner. With two dogs at home I am aware of the importance of a good walk, feeding and water refresh, and Ron, my cat, reminded me of how important is to have a fresh litterbox and a safe environment for all.
About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and former dog mom to my sweet girl, Princess, for 13.5 amazing years. From daily walks to medication routines, I’ve handled it all with love and care. Whether your fur baby needs a snuggle buddy, a midday walk, or someone to keep an eye on them while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and have my own vehicle, so I’m reliable and flexible when it comes to pick-ups, drop-offs, or emergency needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! Pet care fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I have a flexible schedule, my own car, and I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the block, or a weekend stay, I make the time because I truly love being around animals. After 13.5 years with my own dog, it just feels natural to keep giving that kind of love and care to other pets. I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. I'm also more than happy to pet sit in your own home if that's what you prefer.
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.
About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.
About: I love animals! I raised and trained my German Shepherd and have watched pets for family and friends for years. I love all sizes of cats and dogs but my experience is mostly with larger dogs like retrievers and shepherds. I'm excited to help care for your fluffy beloved friend, big or small. I have a flexible schedule so please let me know if you need a specific time for a drop in! I typically am more free later in the day, after about noon. However, I can be flexible if needed, just reach out for any specific times. I'm an avid runner so I'm excited to take your pet on long walks (or short walks, whatever they need). I also love to provide treats so please let me know if you're open to me bringing some treats for your pet (and if they have any dietary restrictions). I'm excited to help care for them :)
About: I've always had cats and I've had a dog for the past 3 years. I volunteer at Paws Crossed with my daughter, where we walk dogs and socialize cats. I have a flexible schedule, but need advance notice in order to coordinate other activities. In home pet sitting in lower Westchester is easier for me. I have a fenced in yard and crates. At a client's home, I enjoy going for walks, and playing inside and outside with the dog.
“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!!”
“We are so grateful for Marta, thank you so much! We were able to go on a family vacation out of the country and know that she was taking excellent care of our shy and nervous senior kitty and following all of our instructions about his special diet and medication! She always made an effort to connect with him and make him feel comfortable which we really appreciated. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Elisa did a great job. She was very respectful of our home and our pets. It is very evident that she cares about animals. We will absolutely use her anytime we are in need of a pet sitter. Thank you.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I use to work at a Doggie Hotel. I worked in the kennel area and use to manage the cleaning as well as the food distribution for every dog in the facility. I love taking care of my neighbors pets while they are away for vacation. I'm very hands on when it comes to puppies and training, I've done similar things at my last job as a kennel worker/day care dog counselor. I own 2 bearded dragon and take care of my parents dog from time to time! I make sure to give them special attention everyday. I make sure that each animal gets love and attention every hour of the day! I make sure that they have eaten, and if not I try to encourage, and make sure they are mentally stimulated with some play time! I also like to incorporate exercise when playing!
“Jessica is so sweet to our little floof! It’s important for us to have a pet sitter who really engages our cat Midge because she gets anxious without snuggles and play. Jessica does a great job!”

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.

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.

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 .
