We will definitely hire her again.”

About: I grew up with and have raised dogs my whole life, so I naturally know how to handle everything from high-energy puppies to calm seniors. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, I have plenty of extra energy to focus entirely on your pet during our time together. I have a very calm presence that pets naturally love, and whether we are going for a long exercise hike or a quick potty break, I’ll make sure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised. I'm a current graduate student who is available most of the day and weekends if needed. Mondays and Tuesdays, I have class from 6 pm - 10 pm so I am not available then. Whether I am walking your dog or checking in on them at your house, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I am extremely responsible with house keys and security, and I always make sure doors and gates are double-locked before I leave. Since I grew up with dogs, I’m very alert to my surroundings and keep a close eye on body language to avoid any stressful situations with other animals or traffic. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having while staying safe and well-cared for.

About: I have been pet sitting and caring for friends pets since high school. I have taken care of cats, dogs and bunnies. I would love to help take care of your pets! I am available for mornings and afternoons. I work on a shift schedule right so my hours do change but that also means I have a lot of flexibility! I am a very patient person and will always do my best to sense the animals needs. I will let them come to me so they know they are in a safe space. I will follow the instructions left for me by the pets owner.
“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: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, I’ve developed strong skills in animal handling, observation, and compassionate care through clinical and research environments. I worked as a veterinary assistant at Cornell University Specialists, where I gained experience working alongside veterinary professionals and strengthened my understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also have a 11-year-old cockatiel and two cats of my own, so I truly understand the daily care, attention, and trust it takes to look after someone’s pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am flexible and available throughout the week for dog sitting and house sitting. I am happy to help with daily visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I do not offer overnight stays, but I am reliable and willing to help wherever needed during the day. I provide attentive in-home pet care focused on safety, comfort, and routine consistency. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—checking doors, gates, food access, and removing any hazards. I closely follow owner instructions for feeding, medications, and behavior routines to keep pets stable and stress-free in their home setting. With my basic medical knowledge from animal care experience, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of illness or distress (such as changes in appetite, vomiting, coughing, or lethargy) and responding appropriately by notifying the owner promptly and seeking guidance when needed. My goal is to ensure pets feel safe, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owners are away
About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children. If your furry friend needs a little TLC grooming or medication, I am more than happy to ensure they are on schedule. I have a private home in Bayside, if needed more space it can be utilized (w/ fenced yard). Please message me to arrange any bookings, I always do my best to be flexible with all my clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
“Alyssa is friendly, responsive, and easy to work with! She was EXCELLENT with our rabbit while we were away and communicated very thoroughly throughout the booking. He clearly enjoyed their visits and we can’t wait to rebook with her again soon!”

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.

About: I am an animal lover and have dedicated my life to caring for rescue pets since I adopted my first special needs cat in grad school. I have 9 years of foster experience with reputable animal rescues and am also a proud pet parent to 5 cats and 3 chickens. I am also experienced with administering medication and sub-q injections for pets with chronic kidney disease. Currently available for drop-ins and dog walking to cover weekends, evenings, and anytime you're looking to get away and need a reliable, patient and hardworking pet sitter you can trust. I am currently raising a 7 month old cat, and have experience caring for special needs animals (a cat with chronic kidney disorder). As a pet parent myself I know that every creature has its unique needs and am dedicated to ensuring that your pet's comfort and safety are taken care of.
“Sarah was great with my cat while I was away. She took care of all of the feeding and cleaning up after, and took time to keep my cat company for a little bit each time she came by. I would definitely trust her with everything again.”

About: I truly adore spending time with animals, making them feel cozy, happy and loved, like they just scored unlimited belly rubs and treats. Every pet becomes family! I work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available in the mornings after 8:30 AM and afternoons until 4:30 PM. On weekends, I’m available full-time to give pets all the attention and care they need. I treat every home with respect and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I ensure pets are safe, comfortable and happy, giving them love, attention and lots of cuddles while maintaining a clean and calm environment.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Irvington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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. 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 .

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.

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.
