“Wendy was amazing with our pups. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. She gave us daily reports and pics. She gave some feedback to consider. One of our pups like boundaries and she handled him very well.”
“This was our second time having Jonah as an in-home pet sitter. We were able to rest easy, because we know Jonah to be completely reliable, trustworthy, and kind. He gave our dog the individualized attention and interaction he craves. Our dog was happy to have us back, but also sad to see Jonah leave—he thinks Jonah should become a regular member of an even bigger pack!”
“As always Lauren was fantastic! I always get nervous because our older dog, Frankie, is a very anxious creature but every photo check-in Lauren sends shows that Frankie is living her best life. Gus is also obsessed with her and prefers staying home with her versus other boarding accommodations. Lauren takes excellent care of our home and our dogs.”
About: I have 50+ hours volunteering to walk dogs at a local shelter. I am capable of preforming basic dog and cat grooming (cutting nails, bathing, tooth brushing, etc.) and I have extensive experience caring for senior pets and training puppies. I am currently working a full time job that is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Drop ins and house sitting are my primary options! I’ve done it all: pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and, of course, taking care of my own pets! I’ve given medication to dogs/cats of various ages and sizes. We can go for walks, hikes, swim and even have a park day. If your dog is less active, I can adjust our activity level!
“Kat was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog, so we were nervous about how it would go. Those fears very quickly flew away, because Kat went above and beyond in so many ways!! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. We will definitely use her again!”
“Very professional and took great care of the pets and house. Could have sent more pics/updates but we didnt specify ahead of time. Otherwise great, would book again!”
“Was super easy to work with and had great communication. Also stayed an extra day when we had some issues getting back into town. Definitely would recommend booking her!!”
“Sara stayed at my house with my labrador for 11 days! She was wonderful! She sent daily pictures and updates. My dog loves to play fetch and go on long walks, and by the looks of the pictures and videos, he was not lacking in either! Sara even went above and beyond caring for my dog. She watered my plants, took out the garbage and brought in the mail. I returned home to a house in order and a happy dog! I highly recommend Sara and will use her again!”
“Daniel was excellent. Took care of my kitties while I was out of the country for 2 weeks and constantly kept me in the loop and sent me pictures of them daily. Would highly recommend him.”
“Sarah was the entire reason our trip was able to happen! We have a rescue pup who has severe separation anxiety. We tried and tried for months to get her to be ok for a few hours on her own but she just wasn’t ready yet! I messaged Sarah on Wednesday asking for services for Friday and Saturday. She was incredibly responsive and took time to chat on the phone and then meet us once we got to our destination to do an in person meet and greet! Our pup immediately liked her! So much so that on the second day when Sarah got to our Air BnB she couldn’t contain her wiggles!! Sarah was sweet and patient and kept us in the loop the entire time! I would recommend her to anyone!! If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be asking Sarah to sit SUKI!”
About: Ive grown up with a variety of pets. I love animals, and enjoy taking care of them and keeping them happy while they’re missing you! I have a cleaning business that keeps my weekly schedule flexible, but varied. My availability is not always the same each week but it gives me a more flexible schedule than some. I’m happy to care for your pet however you would do so normally to keep them in their routine. At home I have other pets they can play with or they can remain separated. I have plenty of yard for them to enjoy.
“Deborah is outstanding! She took great care of our puppy, sent pictures several times a day. My wife loved that. We totally felt good leaving our baby with her. Deborah allowed us to have a relaxing trip without worry. Max bonded with her from the beginning and I think was sad when Deborah left. I would recommend her totally.”
“Katie went absolutely above and beyond for us when we were gone for a few days. From the beginning meet and greet, I felt extremely comfortable having her stay with us from the way she interacted with our pack of 3 large dogs, and just how she interacted with us too. Our dogs can be a lot and she handled them amazingly. During our trip, Katie sent us the perfect amount of updates and pictures (which she is cognizant to ask during the meet and greet!), and the pictures were all incredible. Our dogs looked so happy and playful and adorable! I could tell they were having a blast with her ❤️. Katie was also super responsive to my texts which I very much appreciated - it let me know she was here and very active with our pups! Katie left the house far cleaner than when we left too, making the day after a long trip so easy. Katie is truly a star sitter that has a wonderful heart for people and animals, takes her role very seriously, and I would use her again without hesitation.”
“Leah was great with my babies. We have 1 dog that is blind and diabetic. The other 2 can be a handful. She was able to handle giving shots. My babies were sad she didn’t come back. We will definitely be using Leah again”
“Always grateful to have Abby take care of my cat. Very attentive and communicates very well. It is clear my cat is well taken care of when I return from a trip. Also snaps the best/silliest photos of my cat while I'm away :)”
“Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kirby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kirby on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 228 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kirby walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kirby maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Kirby 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
