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: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking experience and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! We are most experienced with dogs and cats, but could also care for bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small creatures! We treat all pets as family members. I work from home and we have our own dog. We love to take nice, long walks with our four legged, fury friends. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

“Melaina made our international trip away from our two girl cats so worry-free. 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!”

About: Looking to help people with their doggy pet care needs! I had my dog Buddy for 15 years since he passed a couple of years ago, he was my everything, so know how important it is to have someone care for your pet like they are part of your family ❤️Went thru all the stages of life with him from training to his elder days of taking care with doggy dimentia and incontinence issues.I’ve also been around and helped my family and friends with their dogs and cats and put my love into doing that ❤️I’m great with walking , feeding, and just overall play with animals and enjoy it as much as they do, I really take pride and care in each pet I’m watching and treat them as if they were my family. I work a part time job in an acupuncture office doing front desk so have a lot of free time to help out and walk dogs or take care of them during the day for people. I also have my own condo so can also have pets stay and take care of or I can go to houses to pet sit that are not to far away. I don’t have any other pets at the moment and live alone so a safe and good environment, I live in a complex that is pet friendly and a lot of areas outside to walk and play .

About: I started walking my neighbors’ dogs, then my friends’ dogs and then my family's dogs. Walking dogs was becoming an extremely joyful experience for me. I was able to gain knowledge on different type of breeds and the amount of dogs I walked had gradually increased. Whenever owners would go on vacation, I realized that I was the first person they would contact. They appreciated how I attended their dogs with love and care. I have a clientele that has been with me for more than 3 years. I am able to stay home and tend to the pups full-time. I have a fully fenced yard as well as activities/toys for them to play with. I also have multiple crates and beds for the dogs to lay in.

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have two big dogs of my own. I also have extensive experience dog sitting, both large and small dogs, for extended periods of time. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and well cared for. As a medical student, I have developed excellent time management skills and maintain a structured schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and favorite activities. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space, maintaining a clean, calm, and secure environment so pets feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5, but spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite things! I’m usually available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and since I work from home three days a week, I have flexibility for midday visits, walks, and playtime, too. I’m happy to help with drop-in visits for cats and dogs, dog walks, and daytime pet and house check-ins while you’re away. I don’t offer overnight stays, but I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care during our time together! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I know it can be hard to leave your pets when you’re away, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stick to their familiar routines and feel comfortable in their space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications or any little quirks that make your pet unique. I’m happy to give energetic pets plenty of playtime or let more independent pets warm up at their own pace. You’ll also get regular photo and message updates, so you always know how things are going!

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun. I no longer have dogs at home, so your pet will be the center of my attention! When I visit, I will make sure the water bowl is full and clean. I will feed at the proper times and clean up any messes. The rest of the time it will be spend time having fun with your pet.

About: My family is proud to have adopted several dogs from local shelters and make them a part of our family. When our Ziggy (Golden Retriever) passed away in 2017 after 9 years, we picked up Loki (a black lab mix) and he's bringing us joy on a daily basis. Since I moved away to start medical school, I have been looking for ways to connect with animals, and this has included going to visit friends with dogs and cats, and is also the reason I've signed up with Rover! I look forward to meeting your lovely pets, and to working with you! The best options for me will be dog-walking or house-sitting considering my school schedule, but mornings/evenings would probably work best for me. However, I don't have a set schedule, so there is possible availability at any time during the day, depending on what mandatory events I need to attend. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I am happy to house-sit. I can ensure that your pet is getting the proper amount of water, food, exercise, rest, and attention for the entire time I am booked.

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, beginning with my family's Border Collie, Gracie. Over the years, I've personally cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including dogs that required extra patience and attention. My professional pet-care experience includes working through Wag in both Florida and New York City. Altogether, I've walked and cared for approximately 60 dogs. That experience has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and adventurous, while others need a calmer, more patient approach. What matters most to me is understanding what makes your dog comfortable and following your instructions carefully. I know how much trust it takes to put your pet—and your home—in someone else's hands. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely cares about them. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekends. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I'm happy to work with each client's individual schedule and their pet's unique needs. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are extremely important to me. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and routines, keep dogs securely leashed outdoors, stay aware of my surroundings, and make sure doors and entrances are secure. Communication is also very important to me. Through my experience with Wag, I regularly provided owners with a report after each walk so they knew how their dog was doing. I believe pet parents should feel informed and comfortable while their pet is in my care, and I'm always happy to provide updates.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.

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 $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 25,257 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.

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.

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 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.

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.
