âThe girls were great, they cleaned up after themselves, including washing and folding their towels. Our dogs are pretty codependent and so they had to cuddle with them most of the time. It appears they followed the directions for feeding and medicationâs. We will definitely use them in the future again.â

âI have 2 dogs. One girl who is skittish of everyone and another dog who's an escape artist. Recently I had to leave town at the last minute and Brittan stepped up, even after I warned her it wouldn't be easy. Wow, it was such a comfort knowing my 2 dogs were safe and taken care of. My skittish baby learned to eat and drink with Brittan and my escape artist didn't escape! TY Brittan!â

âKiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.â

âMichelle was fantastic!! She sent us updates and photos every day and our dogs looked very happy and at ease. She walked them consistently and was very positive with every interaction. Plus, she washed and dried the bed linens before she left, so the house was fully recovered from her stay. We'll definitely be hiring her again, and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, caring pet sitter.â


âNorm was great. Peaches loves him even though he smelled like other dogs. He took good care of our dog and house. I would recommend him to everyone. He did an extra long stay for a once in a life time trip. My Great Dane was his blanket every night.â

âWeâve had the pleasure of of having Ash watch our pups now at our house and have been so happy with our experience! Theyâre nothing short of spoiled when Ash is here and we love getting all of the pictures and updates while weâre away. She takes great care of our house as well, which is such a relief when we are away! We were really reluctant to use Rover because of all the horror stories, but Iâm really glad we gave it a try and found such a great fit.â


About: I've always had dogs and cats and have taken care all through their senior years. My last two dogs had gone deaf and blind. I've taken care of pets for friends and family including pets that have medical issues like epilepsy or fractured pelvis. Currently just have 2 cats and a rambunctious Shih-Poo puppy. The cats come in and out of doggy door, but will be enclosed in my room when boarding dogs. Puppy is high energy at the moment but if he becomes a pain/annoying to boarded dogs, I will send puppy to my granddaughter. Currently Retired and pretty much home all the time. I go for walks in the mornings. Dog park in neighborhood. If allowed, can take them for pup cups in car. I have a high fenced medium backyard and medium size doggy door. I will administer medications per instructions. I have had to chase a few dogs when they jumped a fence (not mine, too high) or dug under.
âI have nothing but the most amazing things to say about Megan. She is truly a saint! My husband and I went away for almost 10 days for our honeymoon. We usually board our oldest dog, but felt so guilty about leaving him in boarding for that long. Also, we know how much our youngest dog loves being around him. We decided to try a house sitter, and were a bit nervous because they can be shy with strangers. Megan took all of this into consideration with her care. She came by for an almost hour meet and greet until they were totally comfortable around her. She also came to our house early to help us transition the dogs into her care before we flew out. She provided endless updates and truly listened and understood our dogs and their needs. Personally, Iâve never seen my oldest dog become comfortable with a stranger so quickly! She kept our house clean and organized and even offered to water my dying plants! Both dogs were whining when she had to leave! I feel like there are so many more things I could say, but to summarize: Megan is patient, kind, compassionate, and understanding. She made our anxious pups feel at such ease and it honestly made a world of a difference for my husband and I actually being able to relax while away for so long! THANK YOU MEGAN YOU SWEET ANGEL!â

âRegina was so great with our puppy. She was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and truly cared about our dogâs wellbeing. I would highly recommend her for your petâs care.â

Weekends I love to spend my time when I can with pets! I am very respectful of any rules in clientâs homes and will leave any toys etc. where they belong. Communication is very important! If you communicate your dogs needs or style I will accommodate to them.
About: I am usually always available, I have tons of dog care experience. I am more than willing to go over and above for your dog, and your peace of mind! I am stay at home looking to make some cash so Iâm available pretty much all the time I do except some same-day bookings because of my unique schedule, most of the time when I leave the home itâs for very short period of time so even pups with separation anxiety can be happy! Being a pet parent myself I know how hard it can be to find a reliable helper, my biggest goal is to get long term clients and bond with the pets insuring everyoneâs comfortability!

About: I had my first dog when I was 5 and up until I was a Junior in highschool when we lost our beloved Burnie. He was my best friend, I would always tell people I was his go-to human we had our daily walks. Since then I have been the family pet sitter which have included plenty of dogs. I am currently a full-time college student but I am free everyday after 4pm. On the weekends I am a little more flexible I just need to know ahead a few days prior if you need services earlier than 4! I do live inside of an apartment but I have space in the back where I can give walks and potty breaks. There are currently no pets inside of my home but your pet is allowed on top of my sofa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 91 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirtley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Kirtley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kirtley 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Kirtley 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirtley. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
