“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 so awesome and caring. She helped find one of our cats that we were worried got out before we left on our trip. She takes the best pics of our pets to ensure they are happy and healthy. And she communicates often and well. Thank you Hannah for loving on our fur babies.”
“Anaya did an amazing job taking care of Nala! Everything went smoothly, and I’m very pleased with the care she provided. I truly appreciate her and look forward to booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends for years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s long walks with an energetic pup, quiet cuddle sessions with a shy cat, or making sure every pet feels safe and loved in my home, I treat every animal like family. My goal is always to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their companions are happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Expect a warm, low-key environment where pets are treated like family. Dogs get daily walks, play sessions, and lots of affection; cats enjoy a peaceful home with enrichment and gentle attention. I keep a consistent routine so your pets feel secure, and I’m mindful of any special needs, feeding schedules, or medications. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates, and I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and genuine care. My goal is for your pets to come home happy and for you to return feeling relaxed knowing they were in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my space they get cozy spots, walks (for dogs), and gentle attention; in your home I stick to their familiar routine and surroundings. I always prioritize their individual needs, keep things clean and calm, and send photo updates throughout the day so you have complete peace of mind.
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.
“Katie was such a wonderful cat sitter while we were away! So attentive, caring and sweet! Our cat is very loving and gets lonely while we’re away so it really put my mind at ease to know that Katie was there to spend time with him! She was so great with tons of videos and photos that made it so much easier to be away, and she was so quick to reply and give me updates when I had concerns. Will definitely be having her back again ?”
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.
“Amanda is fantastic! She was communicative, on time and we could tell from the pictures that McCoy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Amanda, we hope to book with you again!”
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.
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.
“Julianna was awesome! She communicated really well and took excellent care of my dog. I’ve used her twice now, and both times she made being away so much easier and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. She’s trustworthy, punctual, and reliable. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again!”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Tim to watch our pups & it was our biggest challenge! THIS time we left 5 in his care that varied from 9lbs-80lbs & 2yrs old-13yrs old. Two of our fur babies have never been taken care of by anyone other than a close family member & normally always travel with us but circumstances did not allow this trip. In the past, we would have adjusted our travel plans & someone would have had to stay home but because of our past experience with Tim & our trust in him, we all were able to enjoy a family trip together. I am forever grateful to him! HE IS AMAZING!!!!”

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
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!
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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kirby is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 3,087 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirby. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 .
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. 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.
