“Tyler made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my kitten. My kitty can be very shy and fearful, but she warmed up to Tyler right away — she truly has a way with cats. Tyler consistently sent photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I have experience caring for my friends’ cats and regularly feeding stray cats in my neighborhood. Through these experiences, I’ve learned to be patient, gentle, and attentive to cats’ needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of care and attention. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always treat every pet with love and kindness, just as I would my own. My current schedule is very flexible, and I’m generally available in both the mornings and afternoons. I can accommodate different schedules and am happy to work with pet owners to find a time that works best for their needs. I’m also able to provide consistent and reliable care for your pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions and try to maintain their pets’ usual routines. I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their feeding areas clean, clean litter boxes when needed, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also respect the owner’s home, keep everything tidy, and provide updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, and have recently adopted a puppy in May of last year! With my new puppy, I have taken up the responsibility of assisting in training her. I love going on walks around the neighborhood and having a cute, furry friend along the way is always welcomed! I am currently a law school student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I am also occasionally available on weekends, just ask in advance :) My top priority is to ensure your pet feels safe and happy around me. Whatever safety regulations you wish to have me follow, I am more than happy to accommodate.

About: 🦴 2 years before I was born, my parents adopted our golden retriever mix named Cauli and I grew up with her until the end of her 17 years. Fast forward to fall of 2020, I adopted my current good boy Appa at 4 months old. He is a siberian husky mix whom I spend a lot of time loving and adventuring with. I have experience in all life stages from puppy to senior. I am well equipped with knowledge in dog behavior/training, and I am aware that every dog is unique in their own way. I’ll be more than happy to accommodate both you and your dog’s lifestyle. 🗓 I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy student. With any extra time I have, I’d love to show your dog some fun, trust, and affection! I’m generally available for drop-in visits and dog walking. If your dog loves running, we can do that together too. Feel free to check out my full profile to see what a typical day with me would look like. (Fun fact: I aspire to become a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist!) 🏡 I only take one dog at a time to give your pup the maximum love and attention he or she deserves, unless you have additional that already work well together. Your dog will never be left alone under my care. I am experienced with crate training and can easily crate your dog if needed. Your dog will remain on leash at all times outdoors since I am not their beloved owner (except in cases where permission is given by you AND there is an enclosed area paired with safe circumstances). Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. I put safety as my #1 priority and I will make sure of that with your fur baby too. I am always vigilant of my surroundings and will make sure your pup is in good hands while having a great time. You’ll get plenty of update pics!

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to help care for your furry family members. As a lifelong animal lover and dog parent (having raised two wonderful dogs of my own), I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets. I currently serve as a trained volunteer at the Pasadena Humane Society, where I work directly with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. To ensure your pet’s safety is always the top priority, I am fully certified in Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR through the American Red Cross. Whether your pet needs an upbeat walk to burn off energy or a gentle, slow-paced stroll, I adapt to their individual needs and comfort levels. I am particularly experienced and comfortable working with pets who experience anxiety, have special medical needs, or require precise medication administration. When your pet is with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently work from home and have a flexible daily routine. With the exception of an occasional zoom meeting, I can be by your pup’s side. I live in a 3 story townhouse with the main living space on the 3rd floor. Dogs can go wherever I am, and I can carry them up/down stairs if needed. I will treat them as if they were my own pup 😃

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. After high school I volunteered at an animal shelter where I cleaned kennels, fed the animals, and played with them. I’ve also studied animal behavior and understand both dogs and cats. I have experience administering medications as well. I work full time every weekday and will be free after 3:30pm to help with your pet needs. Completely free on the weekends and don’t mind being out and about early in the morning I visit the homes I pet sit. I care for my friend’s 2 cats when they travel. I clean their litter boxes and feed them ensuring both eat well. One likes to take the other cat’s food. I put away the toys they have out and swap them with toys that were stored. It helps keep them interested in the toys.

Abagail was very responsive, communicated well, and was able to handle a couple of additional tasks I requested (I had a package dumped on our front porch while gone, and have a bonsai that needs daily water, for example). The last time we used a sitter, the cats never emerged for that person. But they came out for Abagail on the very first day (well, except for 1, which was absolutely on brand :). She was thorough and tidy, and upon our return, the cats seem friendly and well adjusted. Highly recommend and would use again! Thank you 🙏🏻

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Irwindale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Irwindale is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 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 21,231 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Irwindale. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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 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.

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.
