“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”
“They did two 30 minute walks with Goose and sent us pictures each time. Goose loved them and everything went great. Good communication and I didn’t have any worries. Couldn’t ask for anything more, thank you!”
“Scout has special needs. He is blind, diabetic and is reactive to dogs. Mirte has been excellent with walking him. She has also worked with his quirks that makes him difficult to walk. I noticed a difference when I walk him only after 2 weeks. It is a pleasure to have someone dependable and attentive to my needs. I needed immediate help due to a fall with him.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
About: **I have 5 years of experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I spent years tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to caring for puppies and kittens, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 4pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, a lifelong Bloomingtonian and best friend to every dog I’ve ever met! I am a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler and I also help manage a national non-profit rescue for French Bulldogs. Simply put-dogs are my people! I have always deeply connected with dogs since I was a kid. There is no other creature like a dog, and the unconditional love they give is unlike anything else. Before I was a mom, my dogs were my babies. After I became a mom, my dogs were still my babies. I have deeply loved many bulldogs in my lifetime, and as such am very adept to handling brachycephalic breeds and their particular needs. (Though it should be noted I tend to regular-nosed breeds with the same loving care!) I am very comfortable caring for animals with moderate medical needs, those with disabilities, seniors, those requiring medication administration, etc. I have cared for hospice dogs, dietary restrictions, Mega-esophagus, Colitis, deafness and total blindness. You could say that special needs are my specialty. I have over 20 years of experience helping folks take care of their animal babies, from Pugs to Cane Corsos, several kitties and even some reptiles in between. I understand that all our animals are precious and I will take care of them all with the same attention and protectiveness I give my own. When you cannot be with them, you don’t want to worry about them. I get that. I cannot replace you but I can guarantee your baby will be loved, safe and a little spoiled until you get back. I am new to Rover, but very experienced. I am happy to do drop-ins, daycare or walks-whatever you need. As a dog mom who knows you have lots of choices and only want the best for your little buddies, I can promise that you can trust me with your babies. I currently work for a dog rescue remotely and am otherwise a stay-at-home-mom to a preschooler. I currently foster one rescue frenchie who lives with us and is sweet and tolerant to all my Rover guests. I care for pets in the way that is safest for them, regardless of where that is. In my home, dogs are under my constant watch. We live far from the road (about .15 miles) but pets will be kept leashed beside me outdoors since my yard is not fenced .
About: I’ve taken care of different sizes and breeds of dogs since I was 4! I also work at Three Dog bakery and work with dogs all the time. I usually will volunteer my free time to help at local shelters! I’m currently in school full time at IU Bloomington. I am willing to travel to pet sit/house sit when I don’t have classes. I adore being around animals, so trust they will be loved and cared for! I own a black labradoodle and I’ve had many pets in the past that lived their full lives. I’ve always been passionate for animals and will always advocate for them!
About: Hello! I am a recent graduate who just moved to the area after accepting a job in the speech, language, and hearing sciences department. Looking for some extra income on the side. I have had both dogs and cats my entire life including a variety of breeds and sizes. I am currently working part- time and do not currently have any pets of my own. So, I will plenty of time and energy to give to yours! I have done a little bit of everything. I have had dogs who were trained to go off leash, also cats who were allowed outside. On the flip side, I have also cared for many escape artists, most of which were not faster than me.
About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.
About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was very young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.
“Rigby and Polly have a great time with Celsei! They love their walks and always come home happily worn out. Celsei is very kind and accommodating, and a true dog lover! Thanks for taking such good care of ours, Celsei!”
About: I love getting to know animals and learning about their sweet idiosyncrasies to create a harmonious environment where we can all be our best selves together. I have a Weimaraner-mix dog and 2 cats who I love dearly and spend all my free time with. I’m a responsible dog-owner and have experience with obedience training. I grew up with animals, so caring for pets is second-nature to me. I’m in between semesters right now and work from home so I have full-time availability to show your dog the attention and affection they deserve. I take my own pup to the dog park every morning for about an hour, and throughout the day we go for long walks around Bryan Park and spend time in my fenced-in yard. In addition to having a fenced in yard for your dog to play in, and I live in a safe, residential area where we can go for long walks. My dog, Nisa, LOVES other dogs and will undoubtedly show your dog friendly playfulness and generosity. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and the dogs are allowed to chill on the furniture. When I leave the house for short errands I don’t crate Nisa, however I have a large dog crate for your pup if that is your preference. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s feeding schedule and can administer any medications they might need.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and family friends dogs since I was around 10 years old. From taking care of their basic needs, to loving and giving them all the attention they need and deserve, many have relied on my services to take care of their pets!! I am currently a student, but have a great deal of free time to hang and care for your pets! I am available most weekends, and many days throughout the week at various points each day. Because of my many years of experience with pets, I can cater to your pets needs depending on your home and preferences, respecting your space and privacy as needed while still giving your pet(s) the attention they deserve!!
About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.
About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirby
We were in a pinch, needing someone to walk and feed our dog while we went in a day trip. Haley responded to my booking request promptly and was free. Upon meeting her I found her to be very friendly and warm and it was obvious that she is very comfortable around animals. She asked good questions and, though it was my first time using a service provider through Rover, I felt completely comfortable and confident in leaving my dog in her care. I will book her again for future pet care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Kirby is $13 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $17 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 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 340 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kirby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Kirby. 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 dog’s 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 Kirby 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 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.
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 Kirby. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 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 walker.
