“This was my third time booking with Ericka, and just like the previous she was great. Ericka was patient, accommodating, and easy to work with when I was having issues with my home keys.”

About: My first word was Dog. Really. I've been an animal lover my whole life, bringing home wounded pigeons and stay dogs anytime the opportunity presented itself. I have volunteered in animal shelters and foster based rescues, managed a doggie daycare and have a certificate in the Human-Animal Connection while obtaining my MSW. I have had two CGC working therapy dogs and dabbled in flyball for a heartbeat. Now as a professional photographer who loves being my own boss, I'm excited to offer my experience to help eas your mind while you're away from your pets. Working from home and being a small business owner my schedule is flexible and revolves around my kids. I am often free during mornings, afternoons and evenings for visits as well as weekend care. I very much believe in a partnership with pets. These little furry (or hairless) beings have their own likes and dislikes just like us! My hope is to always respect that as well as the home you've created for your family.
“We loved having Anne watch over our cat while away for our wedding! Our cat had recently had some minor medical issues, so we felt really nervous about leaving her for a week. Anne was kind enough to meet with us prior to our departure so we could introduce our cat and show her around (& to ease our nerves!). So happy it all worked out- Anne was amazing about keeping us informed on each visit & provided pics! Would very much recommend!!!”
About: I have watched multiple peoples pets and animals! I also have a 3 year old fur baby who loves to play and trained myself! I’m excited to welcome your babies into my home! I work from home full time. I own my own home with a fenced in yard! I’m available to house boarding, drop ins, and walks I have a fenced in yard and one 5 year old pug shitzu mix who loves to play and gets along great with other dogs
About: I have dog sat for a variety of breeds in 3 different countries of the span of 7 years ( Korea, Belgium, and America) .I have watched dogs anywhere from one day to a month at a time. Exercise is something I am into, so your dog will never be bored! I am currently a college student. With only two classes in person, and a pretty flexible schedule! If schedule conflicts arise that will be communicated I have a fenced yard, large neighbourhood for long walks, and nearby parks. Very dog friendly neighbourhood. Your dog will be in very good hands!
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs and cats, including large breeds, senior pets, animals with arthritis or mobility limitations, and pets that require consistent medication routines. I am patient, organized, attentive, and comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medications, comfort, and household routines. I understand that every animal has a different personality, energy level, and comfort zone. I focus on creating a calm, dependable environment rather than forcing interaction. I also provide clear updates and photos so pet parents know how their animals are doing while they are away. My current schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate daytime drop-ins, evening visits, overnight stays, and selected weekends with advance notice. I plan bookings carefully around my own pets so I can provide dependable, unhurried care. I confirm arrival and departure expectations beforehand and communicate promptly if anything changes. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and keep safety at the center of every visit. I check doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, food, water, medications, bathroom habits, mobility, and behavior. I never introduce unfamiliar animals or change a pet’s routine without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their privacy, maintain a clean environment, and make sure the property is secure before leaving. I provide timely updates and contact the owner immediately if I notice anything unusual.
“Very professional, asked good questions when introducing her to the animals, and I felt comfortable letting her into my home. She especially took good care of my elderly cat who needs medications and extra attention. We will definitely request Caille again.”
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
“This was my second time booking with Karen and she was just as awesome as the first time! She took excellent care of my senior pup and is great at communicating. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“This is the fourth or fifth time I have used Melody to watch my dog, Daisy, while I am out of town. Melody is punctual and takes great care in providing accurate updates via the app. It helps me relax on my trips knowing that Daisy is in good hands. Melody is highly recommended! Thank you, again!”
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”
About: I have cared for all types of dogs ranging from puppies to elderly dogs, small dachshunds to great pyrenees, your dogs are in great hands with me. I am currently a stay-at-home father and have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. Mornings to evenings are open availability to allow you the flexibility in your day while knowing your pets are well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, and a safe walkable neighborhood if your pooch prefers long walks. For drop in visits rest assured that your home will be treated with the respect and care expected of anyone providing you a service.
“Not only was Leana AMAZING with my two cats, but she was also super responsive and showed so much genuine interest in their comfort. I couldn't recommend her enough!!”

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!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
