Safety, trust & environment

I treat pets like they’re my own, and their safety always comes first. In your home, I’ll stick to your routines so things feel familiar and comfortable. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walks are always safe, and pets get the right balance of play, exercise, and downtime. I also keep you in the loop with updates so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing.

Information Kirby H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible so I can give your pet the best care. Things that are especially helpful: any medical conditions or medications, whether they’re comfortable around other animals, if they’re reactive to people, pets, or noises, and what their favorite activities are. I also appreciate knowing about any sensitivities (like food, loud sounds, or handling) so I can keep your pet happy and stress-free. Written instructions are always welcome and I’ll follow them closely.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy and comfortable. For dogs, that might mean morning walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of outdoor sniff breaks. For cats, it could be cozy lap time, gentle play with toys, or just keeping their routine on track with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. I always mix in affection, attention, and photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having.

Caring, dependable pet lover in PDX

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kirby! I’ve spent years helping care for pets alongside my own family dogs and cats, and I love making sure animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved when their people can’t be there. Friends and neighbors often rely on me for walking, feeding, and keeping pets company, and I treat every animal like my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime at the park, or just a quiet snuggle at home, I’ll adapt to their personality and routine.

Kirby did a great job taking care of our dog, Toby, at our house while we were out of town. He settled in with Kirby quickly and he looked happy, relaxed and comfy in all of the pics. Kirby was easy to communicate with. Would totally recommend :)

Kirby did a great job caring for our pups (one with anxiety) and even fed my backyard birds while we were away. The house was super tidy and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. We will definitely book Kirby again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
