“I wish I could give Brittney 10 stars! She did a fabulous job watching over our pets while we took a short out of state trip. She always kept me informed on how our dog was doing. She gave great feedback. I would highly recommend Brittney to watch and take care of your pets.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter now that I am not near family and Shaun was great! He checked in on my cat Tink several evenings this past week while I had to work late. Tink is diabetic and requires insulin injections on a strict schedule and he was there when I needed him to be to make sure she gets her shots on time. The feedback and pictures I received assured me she was in great hands and that she got along with him just fine. I will definitely be booking Shaun again in the future ?”

“Chelsea went above the bare minimum for my Reggie. Including visiting beforehand to introduce herself to Reggie, to staying longer when he was hesitant to go walking. In the end, Reggie opened up her which is a testament to her care toward him.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!

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 have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and a bunny for my family and friends throughout my life. I like to socialize my dogs by taking them on walks and playing with them! I am currently a nursing student. I have Monday mornings open, most Tuesdays off, and Thursday evenings. Then I have Fridays- Sundays open! When I have free time, I will gladly walk your dog and keep them company! I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, food, and love. I’ll also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!

About: I have been around dogs and multiple cats ever since I was 5, but have been pet sitting for a year as additional income. I have dog sat a range of breeds from german shepherds to Maltese's. My routine when I go on walks is as needed for the dog, but on average 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon, night) if you live in a neighborhood/condo, may vary depending on location. Please feel free to ask questions! I am currently a senior at Indiana University, and I have classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. So, I will have plenty of time for your pets! I love to go on evening walks with my roommates, play lacrosse, read, and attend IU football games! Ideally I would go to/stay your home so that your pet(s) are as comfortable as possible! I will cater my routine to your pets personality, if they are an early riser, so am I. If they like to lounge and watch 101 Dalmatians, so do I. I am here to make you and your pets lives easier!

About: I have taken care of many dogs and walked dogs since I was very young. I am a great dog trainer and love to work with pups that have more behavior issues than others, and making all puppies feel comfortable. To me, all dogs, no matter the age, are puppies. Some just have more limits than others. I will work with any dog and I love to get to know and see all the babies. I am currently full time at Indiana University with flexibility in my schedule. I am available between 6:00 am and 11:00 am, then free from 3:00 pm- 10:00 PM on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. I am unavailable Tuesdays. Thursdays I am free from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm then 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Every fur baby is different, I will work with you to learn behaviors and if you would like me to put in a little training techniques. I will go slow with you pet to make sure they are comfortable with me first. I want them to know that I am there for them and ready to adjust what I am doing based on their personality.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. That includes outside and inside pets. I can train dogs on basic commands using positive reinforcement. I also ensure all dogs will get a nice walk and frequent bathroom breaks outside. I am a stay at home mom with the perfect flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I am a mother to a 4 year old daughter and my husband is a family physician in Indiana. Anytime I’m able to dog sit and give my daughter the opportunity to play with dogs and go run and walk with them I will! We love getting the opportunity to take care of pets and we always treat them like our own; they never cease to put a smile on my face! We no longer offer boarding and daycare services at our home. However we still offer drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. We make sure to clean up after ourselves and any mess with toys, laundry, trash, dishes we may make at your residence. As for your fur babies, we will give them lots of love, attention and fun in the sun! We enjoy getting to learn each and every dog’s personality quirks, they never cease to put a smile on our faces!

About: I have owned pets since I was small and have been pet sitting professionally for 5 years. I am completely trustworthy in your home and with your pets. I will do all tasks to your specifications and understand that each pet owner has their unique way of doing things and will keep it the same. I will keep your house very clean while you are away. I wash pet dishes each day, change all water dishes each day. I am up for walks and playing with toys and will give as much petting as your pet prefers. I will keep you in close contact with daily updates and photos. I am fine with senior dogs and giving medication as well. I am a mom with grown children out of the house and will be solid for you. I have a flexible schedule and will work with your preferred times for me to come. I don't do overnight stays (but can recommend someone who does) but can come several times a day if that works for you and your pet. In your home I will always check that all doors are securely locked when I leave and always do a quick sweep of the home to make sure nothing is amiss and that the pets have not gotten into any trouble. I am completely trustworthy and would never take anything from your home or even look in your cabinets. I will keep your house clean, pet dishes cleaned each day, litter boxes cleaned twice a day, and anything else you specify for your pet. Pets will get my undivided attention while I am with them and utmost care.

Kensey did a great job caring for Ellie. She's shy but Kensey is patient and makes sure she gets pets while I'm away. She also did a bit of vacuuming and sweeping around the litter! Thank you so much.

Matthew & Ellie were great! They included adorable notes about our kitties each day, one time specifically saying they swore Binx responded with a literal “yes” when they asked her if she was hungry haha! Would definitely have them look in on our little ones again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kirby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kirby is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 357 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirby. 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 Kirby. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
