About: Hi! I'm Victoria! I've had dogs since I was about 15 and I'm proud to say that I’ve raised two puppies and loved many shelter dogs as well! I have many years of experience in caring for animals, as well as training dogs. I am also a foster for the city of San Antonio (ACS) as well as a foster for SRT and SRH (Schnauzer Rescue of Texas and Schnauzer Rescue of Houston) I love dogs, so please rest assured that your fur baby will be in great hands if you decide to book with me! I have experience in caring for animals with special needs, including medication administration and basic first aid! I'm currently working from home and I study from home as well, so my availability is pretty open! I rarely will be unavailable, because I’m able to adjust my schedule I live in a house with a fenced in yard, I'm able to throw ball outside if I ever have any dogs outside and they have plenty of room to run around and play, but I am also happy to sit in your home or walk your dog in your neighborhood! I am also okay with taking them to a park nearby if that's what you prefer!
“Cannot say enough great things about Ericka. Trusted her completely from the start. She was so thorough with her pictures and check-ins. It was clear my pets loved spending time with her. Will definitely use her again!”
“Alyssa did amazing! My request was short notice and she was able to accommodate her schedule time to drop in with Pongo. Loved the updates, and she has a great communication. Thank you so much for helping.”
“Dawn was very dependable and supportive while we were out of town. Not only did we get to comeback to some pampered pooches but she was very helpful to clean up their toys and messes during our absence. Definitely will look to book Dawn next time too!”
“Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Adriana was a great help and looked after my pup. On time and was willing to adjust and work with me considering my difficult schedule. I highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.
“Shelli, thank you for accepting a last minute request for a drop-in when I had a cancelation the last 2 days. It looks like Leo enjoyed his time with you as well. Im so glad it all worked out. I appreciate you very very much! Leo is also very thankful for the hugs and treats! I would definitely love to book you again in the near future. :)”
“Anne was very responsive and thorough during her drop in visits. This was our first time not having a family or friend check in on our pet for us, and Anne did a great job making sure we knew he was nice and taken care of. 10/10 amazing”
“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.”
About: Hi, I moved out here for my job leaving my 2 dogs at home. I need new furry friends to take my attention away from me🧡 I love taking dogs out for walk, play tags with them, and basically just sit there and enjoy being their company. I am usually pretty flexible on any weekends (Day/Night) Weekdays are negotiable upon request, I try to work around client's schedule most of the times I will keep eyes on the furry friends. Main focus is to feed the pets, take them out for a walk to destress then, go on potty breaks in between. Play with them, get them well rested for when their owners come back.
“Melisa came by my house everyday for 12 days to check on my kitty. I appreciated the daily report card and photos. I never felt anxious and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely use her again! Don't hesitate to give her a try.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own as well as a tortoise and lots of fish! I have experience pet sitting for family and friends and neighbors. I am able to care for babies as well as seniors. I'm not certified but I've trained my own pets along with my family's pets. I am currently a grad student and work part-time, I am available to work all day Monday, mornings before 9am Tuesday-Friday and evenings after 4:30pm. Sometimes my school schedule may change but I'm always going to communicate changes to my schedule! Weekends are available if needed. I have a system with my babies, they eat twice a day in the morning and evening. I usually let them run outback and they play with the dogs on either side of my house. One cat likes to go outside occasionally, but otherwise they stay with me and I'll play with them while I do schoolwork or relax. I love taking my dogs on walks and playing with them as well.
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: Growing up my house looked like a zoo at some points having dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits and more. I took on the role of caregiver to my furry and non furry friends from a young age, having been born with a love for animals. I mainly have experience working with the standard dog and cat, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medications for both. Along with my personal experience I also have professional experience as a Kennel Technician for an animal clinic and boarding facility taking care of animals staying overnight. I have experience and am comfortable with working with all dog sizes and breeds, including elderly pups or young puppies. The same goes for cats any size, shape, breed, or age am I comfortable and confident in caring for your four legged friend. I currently am not working full time, so my schedule is very flexible in being able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am working towards finishing my Bachelors degree, so some classes are online leaving my schedule flexible. I understand leaving your baby in the care of someone else can be scary and nerve racking, however as a pet parent myself strive to create an environment that is safe and secure for both your fur baby and you. All animals deserve patience and gentleness as I extend my high standard of care onto any animal I encounter. I have lived my life as a vegan/vegetarian in dedication to not harming animals in my moral representation of my respect toward other living beings. I hope I can be given the opportunity to show respect and kindness to your fur baby.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirby
Taylor was amazing! She was very professional and accommodating. She made fast friends with my dogs and the pictures she sent of them were the highlight of my day! I will absolutely be booking her in the future and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a caring and attentive sitter for their pets!
Shelby was absolutely wonderful! She was attentive, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and didn’t have a single issue. She made everything so easy and stress-free, and we would absolutely trust her to watch Maya again. Highly recommend!
Diana was wonderful with my dog Mako! He can be nervous around new people, and he warmed up to her really quickly. Having her drop in to check on him was a huge relief. As a Rover employee, I can be quite particular about who I trust with my pets, and Diana definitely makes the cut!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kirby stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Kirby with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 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.
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.
