“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.”
“Velma was courteous and quick to respond when we had a short notice need for a drop in visit. She was very attentive to the needs of our dog, and I would definitely use her again!”
“Hannah is awesome! We love her detailed reports and photos that she sends us when she drops by to let our puppy out. She is so easy to work with and makes our day a lot less stressful knowing our dog is in good hands.”
“Thanks to Megan we were able to go on vacation and have some peace of mind! Daily updates and pictures were just the cherry on top. She was great with our two cats and even helped out with watering our plants. We will definitely be calling Megan again!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and detail-oriented pet sitter based in the Woodlake/Converse/Universal City area. I work full-time during the week, so I specialize in evening and weekend care, which is perfect for busy schedules or travel. I have my own dog and understand how important routine, safety, and consistency are. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always take the time to make sure each pet feels secure and cared for. I offer: • evening drop-ins and walks • weekend check-ins (multiple visits per day if needed) • weekend pet sitting I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet is comfortable and your routine is maintained as closely as possible. I have access to military bases- so I am capable of attending to pets on base! I’m especially available for last-minute weekend plans. I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings when available. For house sitting, I appreciate at least 24 hours notice when possible so I can plan around my schedule and my own dog. I work fulltime during the week, so my availability is some evenings after 5pm during the weekdays, but flexible availability on the weekends. I tried reflecting that onto my Rover calendar- but please don't hesitate to reach out with questions regarding my availability. ***Please Note: I have military base access- for military clients as well! I do have a fenced in backyard and a custom dog door in my own place. For in home visits, I would ensure pets receive the appropriate amount of outside and potty time, playtime, attention, food, clean water, and additional care as required. I would follow instructions given by owners if dog walking is requested- as I know people have preferences for how their dog receives exercise. The same level of care is given to cats as well- of course their needs may differ. Any accidents or messes made by pets during my care, I will clean to the best of my abilities.
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.
“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!”
“Brianna was such a life saver. I know it can be overwhelming with my pit bulls but she handled everything so gracefully. One of my pups had an accident in her cage which is so unusual but Brianna went above and beyond to clean her and the cage out for me. I’m blessed to have had an amazing Rover helper. She is awesome! She adjusted to the pups so well. I’m sure they miss her already! Will definitely recommend her services!”
“Flor is absolutely the sweetest! Our picky fur babies opened up to her quickly! I reached out to Flor very short notice and the whole meet/greet and visit went far smoother than the day trip my husband and I had lol Thank you, Miss Flor!”
About: My family has had dogs almost my entire life. My mom thought I would become a veterinarian or a zoo keeper because I loved being around animals so much. As an adult, I have gained experience caring for several dogs simultaneously as a volunteer at animal shelters. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their fur-babies on many occasions. If necessary, I am able to administer special care for elderly dogs, and potty train puppies. My favorite part about dog sitting would of course be wet kisses, cuddling, and play time! I have been affiliated with Rover.com for several years with many satisfied pups! I work a regular job full-time as a veterinary nurse. I am completely devoted to caring for the pups in my charge before and after work. I'm a total home body on my off days. I treat your home and your fur-babies as if they were my own. I promise to adhere to their schedule as directed by the parents.
“AnnaMaria did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat, Mr. Steve. Prompt, trustworthy, and super helpful with last minute adjustments. Everything went smoothly from start to finish! Would book again.”
About: I love animals! I've worked and volunteered as a kennel tech. I'm experienced in bathing, administering medicine and dog walking. I am also experienced in nail trimming and will gladly do so upon request. I can also provide enrichment activities like a baby pool during the hot months or simple yet classic fun like a game of fetch. I've always had pets growing up, they are apart of the family so I understand how important their care is while you are away. My schedule is very flexible and you can reach me at any time to check in on the status of your pet or to add on extra services while they are in my care.
“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.”
“Brianna did so well with my pups! There was an issue on my end and she helped me out a TON and was still able to take good care of my babies. Definitely recommend!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Kirby is $20

I cannot recommend Nimsi highly enough! From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly caring with my cat. While I was away, she consistently provided updates, photos, and detailed notes that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about my pet's well-being and wasn't just stopping by to complete a task. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond. She paid attention to the little details, made sure everything was taken care of, and treated my cat with the same kindness and affection I would have. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pet and a well-cared-for home made all the difference. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely compassionate, I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry family member! Maraming salamat po sa inyong kabutihan at pag-aalaga. Talagang pinahahalagahan ko ang lahat ng inyong ginawa. Nawa'y pagpalain kayo palagi! ❤️
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!
April was amazing! From the moment I met her she was so nice and energetic of taking care of my fur babies! She followed directions, was on time, was respectful, and took pictures of my babies while on vacation. She gave me a comfort during my time away that they were in good hands. Definetly recommend and will book again in the future 😊

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kirby on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,088 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
