About: Since a very young age taking care of animals have been a passion of mine. Always trying to rescue and adopt all the doggies and kitties off the streets and helping them with anything I could. I currently work in an animal hospital as a veterinary nurse and I take care and treat pets on a daily basis. I can handle pets of various sizes and temperaments, is all about making them feel safe and comfortable. Making sure they get the respect love and care they deserve is my priority. I’m very passionate about pets and love them and care for them as if they were my own. I currently work full time at an animal hospital. When it comes to boarding doggies I’ll take them to work with me during the day and during the night they will be at my home. My days off they will be free around the house under supervision. At work they will be in a room or cage according to their size but they get to go out at least 3 times a day while I do my work shift. We have a yard in the animal hospital and they get to run and play. Once I’m home I have a semi fenced yard and they get to play and run some more under supervision. I have cats in my home so during the night the doggies will have to sleep in a crate for safety reasons.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 6 years and have lots of experience with smaller breeds, especially female dogs. I’m patient, loving, and comfortable with all different personalities, from shy and nervous pups to more energetic or aggressive dogs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and love while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the week. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Thursday through Sunday and can give your pet lots of attention and care while they’re with me I live in a loving family home in the suburbs of Yonkers with my parents and brother, so there’s usually someone around to give your pet some extra love and attention. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed. There are also several nice parks and walking areas nearby, so they’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. I keep treats and pet essentials on hand, and we’re close to veterinary care if anything unexpected ever comes up. My miniature Dachshund is very friendly with other animals, especially cats, and I always do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home

“I booked Nicholas last-minute to do a drop-in visit on my dog, who is nervous with strangers. Even though it was their first time meeting, my dog trusted Nicholas and allowed him to put on his harness and go for a walk. I appreciated Nicholas’s communication with me, and I would hire him again.”

“CeCe dropped in to care for our cat while we were away. She took care of our cat like she was her own, providing playtime and cuddles in addition to taking care of the more basic food/water/litter needs. She provided us with daily updates and was very communicative. It’s really comforting to know your pet is in good hands. I will definitely be contacting CeCe the next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much!!”

She was so responsive to every message and went above and beyond, taking her own initiative to clean the litter box and throw away trash as if it was her own house and her own pets. Our cats were nice and comfy under her care. Book her!”

I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!

About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have experience with dogs for many years, taking care of them, walking them, boarding them, visiting them, feeding them and more. I have had dogs of my own since I was a little girl and I've always love them. I like to go for long or short walks depending on the dog. I visit them as often as needed and stay there for a short time or a long time. When im boarding them, they are free to be anywhere in the house, sleep wherever they like, i have no boundaries so they can feel comfortable and like home. I am so very punctual when it comes to the breakfast, lunch, dinner and or snack time. I like to show them tricks, play with them, run with them, take them to the park, hiking and more (also depending on the dog and how active they are). This is my full time job, so im always home with your pet, if i have to run an errand or something someone is always home so your pet if never left alone. I have a fenced front and back yard where they love to run around - i like to let them out in the yard as much as they like (weather permitting) to run around and play and during this time i am always with them making sure everything is ok. We also go for walks and park trips

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Irvington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Irvington is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $59 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 25,219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Irvington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

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

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
