âLorenzo has been an amazing dog walker for my energetic dog! He is reliable, always on time, and I could tell right away how much he truly loves dogs. My dog was always so excited to see him and came back from walks happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!â


About: Hi! Iâm a caring, reliable, and animal-loving pet sitter with hands-on experience in veterinary and animal care settings. As a pre-vet student, Iâve 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 someoneâs pets. I prioritize patience, attentiveness, and routine, making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while youâre away. Whether itâs walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care needs, I treat every animal like my own! I am also BLS and ALS CPR certified 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 environmentâchecking 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

âKerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.â

About: Iâve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time.

âJuan & Laura took great care of Rafa!

âPJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him.

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 âPebbles only wanted to be out for five minutes so we sat together on the couch for the rest of the time.â I know exactly how stubborn Pebbles can be if she doesnât 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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Irvington is $25 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

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 Irvington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dogâs walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Irvington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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 walker.
