About: Hello there! I was a lead dog bather and pet trainer for Petsmart for several years, I've worked at a couple kennels, and volunteered at many local shelters. I currently own and operate a dog business of my own, and it has been running for over eleven years now. I am well versed in many dog breeds, and do a considerable amount of work rehabilitating rescue dogs with behavioral issuses. I am a dog trainer first and foremost, so I make sure all my furry friends mind their manners. The American Kennel Club approved me to be a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. I am also dog CPR/ First Aid certified. I come prepared for any situation. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends. I work from home so I will be able to provide around the clock care to your pets, and they will get all the outside time and snuggles they could want. I have a fenced in backyard, a spacious bedroom for boarding, and very friendly dogs of my own who love new friends. I am able to crate or give your dog their own space as well.
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.
“Bailey is super communicative and reliable! She sends pictures and is completely trustworthy & I will hire her again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“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: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.
“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!”

“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!”
“This was our second time working with Nichole and we just adore how she takes care of our cats and plays with them. Her rover report cards and communication is great at easing anxiety when we go on our trips.”
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.
About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirby
Daisy did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She communicated really well and sent the cutest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. My dog loved her, too! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Daisy and will definitely be booking with her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kirby is $19 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 3,089 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirby. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
