About: I love all types of animals all shapes and sizes and welcome them into my home. I would be honored to have your pet in my care and would treat them as if they were my own. I would provide them with anything they needed and any type of service. I would never mistreat any living thing. I am able to care for animals with any type of special needs or if they need to be given any type of medication. I have a very flexible schedule, so if you needed me on very short notice, I would be there without a doubt. I really hope to be taken into consideration when a family needs their pet to be taken care of. I would be a great choice for your dog! 😊 Also, FYI, the prices on my profile can be negotiated, those were just the default settings so I left them as they were, let me know if you want to discuss different prices, I will be totally fine with that! I currently work at a Doggy Daycare/Pet Hotel so I am very used to being around pets of all shapes and sizes! My usual day consists of picking up after all the dogs, making their food feeding them. And of course, playing with them! my favorite part of my job is when it’s camp time for me and the dogs! I hang out with them in a playroom and we have so much fun that they’re so tired by the end of the day! I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to run around as much as they want! I also have a small cat and a pug. My pug is very friendly and will welcome your doggy with open paws 🥰
“Victor is always great with our boys. We booked a last minute walk and appreciated that Victor was available. He communicates really well and takes beautiful photos.”

“Sophie is incredibly friendly and kind. She greeted our large, silly dog warmly. Skylah had a wonderful walk with Sophie. We’re thrilled to have her take care of our furbaby!”


“Abhilash always takes good care of my dog. I can tell she enjoys it a lot, and he also always takes pictures, and I really like seeing her enjoying the walk in the pictures!”

“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”

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.
“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: Hi all! My name is Lily, and I am finishing up a marine studies degree with an anthropology minor. The things I love the most in the world are animals and children. Most of my previous jobs have been babysitting as well as house and petsitting. For petsitting, I had stayed the night with cats and dogs, just stopped in for feedings, litter box changes, walks, and anything else that could be needed! I have also worked five summers as a camp counselor. After two summers at a regular camp, I got hired to work as a counselor at a nature center near my home town. Here I learned husbandry skills and behaviors of creatures from ferrets, to sulcata tortoises and lizards, to chickens and goats. I am currently an online student and I have asynchronous classes. I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends. I’m sure I will have the time to help out your pets! As of now I am living at home with family. I have boarded friends’ dogs and rabbits before, but I do prefer housesitting or house visits. Our home is currently pet free though, so if boarding is your preferred option please contact me and maybe we can work it out!
About: I have two dogs and have dog sat and walked many times before. I love to go to the waterfront with my dog and take long walks! I am first aid certified in humans and dogs. i hope you plan to book me ! Ps I also work at an emergency vet! I currently work full-time at one vet office . I know all the basics of dog struggling and such but I love to take long walks. I work at an and a primary veterinarian and understand dog behavior. Safety is the number one priority for me. Never let them be off leash

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: I know your dog is more than just a pet—they're family. That's why I'm committed to providing the same level of care, patience, and attention that I'd want someone to give my own. Who Am I As a long-time pet owner, I understand that caring for a dog goes far beyond providing food, water, and exercise. Dogs thrive on structure, purpose, consistency, and companionship, and I believe these qualities are essential to their overall well-being. My goal is to provide more than just a walk. I strive to make every visit a positive experience by giving your dog the attention, consistent care, and mental stimulation they deserve while you're away. My hope is that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you enjoy the peace of mind of knowing they're in good hands. How I Got Started My passion for caring for dogs began by helping neighbors and family members with their pets. I later had the opportunity to work for a private pet walking company, where I learned more about professional pet care, punctuality, and the importance of building trust with both dogs and their owners. That experience strengthened my commitment to providing dependable and compassionate care. What Can Clients Expect My goal is simple—to provide your dog with a safe, enjoyable, and positive experience every time I visit. I strive to build trust with every dog through patience, consistency, and genuine care. My hope is to become someone both you and your dog can rely on, while being a positive addition to your dog's quality of life. Thank you for considering me as your dog walker. I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon! Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule so I can accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you're away. My priority is earning your trust by providing dependable and compassionate care.
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
Erin is responsible, communicative, mature. She also tells me what my dog really did - not necessarily what I want to hear, such as “Pebbles only wanted to be out for five minutes so we sat together on the couch for the rest of the time.” I know exactly how stubborn Pebbles can be if she doesn’t want to stay outside and I really appreciate being told what actually happened. I look forward to a long relationship with Erin, including regular walks, as well as last minute walks and possibly boarding or petsitting as needed.

Drew walked our 2 dogs (a Lab and a Cocker Spaniel mix) every day for a week and it worked out great. He was very thorough in his communications and punctual on each visit. Our dogs can be anxious, but Drew was great with them and they instantly became comfortable. I would highly recommend Drew.

Christine was fantastic: Our dog didn’t have a chance to meet with Christine before their first walk and Christine patiently won her trust and managed the situation wonderfully. We’re very happy to have found Christine and hope to have many more dog walks with her!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Irvington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Irvington. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
