About: Hi, I’m Brittany Your Friendly Neighborhood Dog Walker! 🐾 Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s why I treat every dog I walk with the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a relaxed stroll, I tailor each walk to their pace and personality. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I’m reliable, punctual, and fully committed to making sure your dog is safe, happy, and well-exercised. Available for daily walks, occasional drop-ins, or extended care—rain or shine! Let’s make your dog’s tail wag with joy. I go on walks and enjoy their companionship. I love animals very much. I love throwing the ball for my baby’s to catch and love their hugs I have a fenced yard and neutered puppy who loves other animals and loves playing. My animal has all shots and trainings. I walk him frequently
“They both did a great job taking care of my dog & cats. They were very well cared for & loved. They took great care of the house & made us feel they were so happy to be staying at the house and caring for our pets as if they were their own. They went the extra mile bringing packages inside & letting in the cleaners. They sent daily pictures and updates. They were very professional and did a great job! We will call on them again!”
“Olivia was so amazing! Seniors last minute to help me out with my dogs. She asked for a meet and greet first which was lovely. She took her time to get to know my dogs and spend good quality time with them; they really enjoyed their time with her!”
“Michael did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is very professional and we will definitely be calling her again nest time we need to leave our dogs at home. I highly recommend her services!”
“Jen was amazing with our two dogs. She walked them daily, provided tons of photos, and played with them. She stayed at our house and was clean and tidy. Would definitely trust her with our dogs again!!”
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“Sophia is literally the best! She stayed here at my house for a week while I was on a cruise with my family! She has been working with my dog King to help him with his anxiety. She is so sweet and has brought King little gift and stuff to help with the training process. If you need someone to care for your pets Sophia is your girl. Thank you Sophia for coming today and spending the day with him.”

One of my dogs is high anxiety and, with April's help, we have found a system that works great (thunder jacket - April's idea! And vet prescribed medicine). She is consistent with the care, diligent in all the animals and the house. I'm grateful to have found her and highly recommend her.”
About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, and have always been my favorite kind of company! 🐾 I grew up with cats and dogs, and my family has had three German Shepherds over the years. I'm a proud pet mom to a rescue pit bull mix and a rescue cat, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets when you're away, especially when friends and family aren't available. I want to be that person you can feel comfortable leaving your pets with, knowing they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I'm happy to get to know each pet's unique personality, respect their routines, follow your instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'm excited to meet them where they are! Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart, and I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and to feel loved. I would treat your pets with the same care and consideration I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I can work with your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and making sure our furry family members are well cared for. I'm happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and find a schedule that works best for both of us! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone else's pets. As a pet mom to a rescue dog and cat, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and attention they get at home. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed, and any specific rules or preferences. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep pets away from unsafe foods or items, and pay attention to their behavior so I can recognize when something seems unusual. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space, keep food and water areas tidy, clean litter boxes as needed, and provide updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. My goal is to give you peace of mind while treating your pets and your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samuel was fantastic! He stayed overnight, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures throughout our trip. He was especially patient and understanding with our new puppy, who is very shy and fearful around new people. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and will definitely book with Samuel again. Highly recommend!”
About: As a pet lover and future healthcare professional, caring for others has always been ingrained in me. I have years of experience in caring for pets, very active person that can keep up with the physical demands of pet care, and overall just love and care for animals. My goal is to provide reliable care for pets and to cultivate a connection built off of trust with the pet owners. I am currently working part time 2-3 times a week, gearing up for nursing school after this summer. My availability is relatively open and flexible. I operate under the value of integrity and diligence. I would be a very respectful guest in my clients home, and a very detail oriented pet care provider.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirby
This was the first time that I book with Rover and Megan set the bar high! She was incredible with my senior dog, Gailey. She managed her daily walks and her medications faithfully. Her communication and pictures throughout the week were so appreciated. Megan, thank you so much for all the good care and love you gave my Gailey. It gave me peace of mind, knowing she was well cared for. I came home to a happy dog and a super clean house! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter.
She was very kind and reliable. I needed a pet sitter last moment because of a cancellation and she stepped right in. She sent text updates and pictures. She did a great job giving my senior dog his daily medicine. My home was just as clean as I left it if not cleaner. My pets were in safe hands.
Everything went great! I chose boarding in my home for my 1 dog and 2 cats. My husband and I had to go out of town for 3 days and we’re so happy to have found Samantha! She followed instructions, sent us plenty of photos, and gave love and attention to all of our animals so they didn’t get lonely! She gave us peace of mind, we will be repeat clients from here on out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kirby is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $93 per night. 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 1,769 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 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
