About: I've taken care of my own dogs, as well as my mom's dogs since I was 12. I've also potty trained my mom's 6 month old puppies. I'm currently a part time college student, so I'll be dog sitting between schedules (currently done for the semester!). In order to ensure the best care for your pets I will not book if I believe I'm not the best fit for their needs. For my personal pets, I have a backyard for them and take them on occasional walks in the neighborhood when it's not too hot out for us. I am able to fit requests or accommodations asked of me.
“Kelsie replied quickly to my request to take care of my babies while I had to be away. She was on time and from the looks of the pictures and her comments my babies really enjoyed her company.”
About: I have taken care of so many dogs ranging from new puppies to seniors. I am an experienced dog bather and worked at a local pet salon for over a year. I am very comfortable with issuing meds. Many friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are away from home. I work full-time during the week and have weekends free. I am available to board throughout the entire week as I can make trips home during my lunch to let the pups out. I have a fenced in yard and a French Bulldog of my own that can keep your pet company. I can also keep your pet separated, if needed.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned and cared for them since I was an infant. Currently, I have five dogs of my own, all with different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of needs and behaviors. Through caring for my own dogs, I am comfortable with feeding routines, walking multiple dogs, administering basic care, and maintaining structure and consistency. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s unique temperament. As a teacher, I bring a high level of responsibility, organization, and communication to everything I do. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment. I currently teach full-time during the school year and am available for pet care in the evenings after 4:30 p.m., with flexible weekend availability including early mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings. During the summer, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing me to offer a wider range of availability and better meet your pet care needs. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. During walks, I ensure dogs are securely leashed at all times, avoid unsafe areas, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings to keep every walk safe and enjoyable. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure your home is respected and left exactly as I found it. As a dog owner of five, I’m experienced managing different personalities and energy levels, and I bring patience, awareness, and reliability to every visit. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! My name is Briannah Fritzinger, I am 21 and I'm a full-time at-home pet sitter here in Selma, Texas. I am currently pursuing pet sitting full-time, so your pets will have a calm, present, and attentive caregiver with them throughout the day. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals like hamsters, fish, and lizards . I'm comfortable with handling puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication or extra patience. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and walks, with potty breaks every 2-4 hours and lots of photo updates. I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, from 8am to 5pm for scheduled care, with extended availability for boarding and emergencies. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 4 cats of my own, so my day is built around feeding, cleaning, and playtime. I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for morning, midday, and evening drop-ins, walks, and overnights during the week and on weekends. In your home, I keep your pet's routine exactly the same — feeding times, walks for dogs, habitat temps and humidity checks, as well as safe handling for all. As well as litter box cleanings.I do a meet-and-greet first to learn their setup, emergency contacts, and vet info, and I always keep doors, gates, and enclosures secured. In my home, I only board cats. I have a clean, cat-friendly space with 4 of my own cats. Boards would be separate from my cats and have their own clean space and environment to be in!

She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! She was very caring, responsible, and made sure they were well taken care of. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciate the love and attention she gave them, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter! 🐶❤️
Evelyn was great! She came last-minute and had no issues accommodating my 9 year-old Belgian Malinois and my 7 year-old Husky, and it was a bonus she wasn't afraid of them and that they loved her so much! Plus my cat seemed to approve of her. Would definitely book again in the future for another long work day
Luis was excellent! He took extra steps to make sure my boys were comfortable when there was fireworks going outside when he didn’t have to. Luis was professional and my boys seemed to really like him. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of his services!
Analisa, your care has been so valued, both by me and, most importantly, by Diva. You not only just showed up, you gave your extra time and extra effort to make sure that my girl, who no longer can get up and walk on her own, has been given more than enough to make sure that her needs were 100% taken care of. Your care means the world to me. Thank you so much for all of your time and dedication towards the well being of my girl, Diva. To those who are reading this review, I know you can have complete confidence in Analisa to give more than is expected to care for your loved animals. She is committed, loyal, loving and so sensitive towards your pets and their needs. If I could have her come every day when I'm at work, I would. Thank you, Analisa, for your dedication to us animal loving humans and for your incredible care towards their needs.

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.

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.
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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
