“Megan was great! She was quick to notify me if her schedule changed and provided the perfect updates to ease my worries on my first trip away from my cat. Even though he’s normally nervous around strangers, he warmed up to her quickly!”

About: I’ve always loved animals, from dogs to horses, and cats to bunnies, so much so that I shadowed at a vet clinic when I was in high school. I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personagrew up with a small poodle during my early childhood. My friends regularly rely on me to care for their pets while they’re away, even those with more complex medical needs. Furthermore, I have fostered 4 cats while searching for permanent homes for them. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in experienced and loving hands while you are away. I am currently between jobs and working as a catering server, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. This also means I am able to stay in an apartment for an extended amount of time. Most of my pet-sitting experience has been staying at someone’s home. I’ve received great feedback about leaving the place better than I found it, and sending regular picture updates to the owners. I pride myself on being a respectful and tidy person.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life and approach my care with warmth, patience, and affection. I currently have a rescue lab retriever mix (heavy on the mix) and grew up with cats. I believe we can learn so much from animals and deeply appreciate taking the time to get to know each personality. I'm detail oriented and a reliable communicator, approaching each new pet with compassion and curiosity. I am a contract worker in the performing arts and so my schedule is very flexible. Currently I am typically am available each day between the hours of 7am and 9pm. I value safety and emotional well-being above all and so sticking to their regular routine is my is priority. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to adapt my routine with each of the pets I care for. I love playtime and cuddles and also understand that each pet has their boundaries and respect those always.

About: I worked in a pet hotel for over 10 years. I've been called a dog whisperer as I'm able to help shy and scared dogs come out of their shells. I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, I would bring strays home when I was very young and work in dog rescue. I'm currently from home so I have a very flexible schedule and can work around what my client needs at the time they need catsitting. I have a fenced in yard and my own fur child to keep your pet company. I have crates and seperate spaces your dog can feel comfortable in if they would not like to sleep in the master bedroom with me and my dog. I can set up a playpen area anywhere they're comfortable and put their bed/crate in a number of different locations depending on what they're used to/more comfortable with.

About: I have been taking care of my dog (Black Russian Terrier) for 12 years. My neighbors, friends and families rely on me to walk and feed their pets. Je suis actuellement une étudiante à l'ECV Paris. Je suis souvent à la maison pour étudier et je fais du sport près de la maison. J'ai un horaire très flexible et je suis disponible très souvent durant la semaine pour le moment présent. I am bilingual (french, english) and also speak russian and armenian! Le bien-être et la sécurité des animaux sont ma priorité. Je prends le temps de comprendre leurs habitudes, leur personnalité et leurs besoins afin qu’ils se sentent à l’aise et en confiance avec moi. Chez les propriétaires, je veille à respecter leur environnement et à maintenir leur routine habituelle, notamment pour les repas, les promenades, les jeux et les moments de repos. Je suis attentive à leur comportement et je m’adapte à leur rythme, sans jamais les forcer. Je donne également régulièrement des nouvelles aux propriétaires, avec des photos, pour qu’ils puissent partir l’esprit tranquille.

“I am so happy I trusted my instincts with Rojina and chose her to take care or our cat Hedwyg, who is a rescue. He is normally very shy and hides when someone unknown comes to the house. But with Rojina, he came out on day one! She clearly has a gift for taking care of animals and really respect them. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. She updated us with pictures and comments and adhere to all our specific needs. She is a true professional and profoundly cares. Thank you for everything Rojina?”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

About: I have had cats in my life since I was 10. I genuinely enjoy and taking care of cats. I love to give the best possible care that they deserve! I have experience in giving medication, caring for senior cats, and following any special routines. I work seasonally in the summer, so this fall and winter I am home most days to visit and hang out with your special kitty. I love meeting new cats and I quickly learn about each cat's needs and wants. I understand some cats are more shy and reserved. I also have a spacious one bedroom apartment which can easily be turned into seperate spaces for cats before they are introduced.

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer — a lifelong dog lover with more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I was born in the Netherlands, I’m also Colombian, and I now live in Canada with my two dogs (and two cats who adore them!). I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have raised many from puppyhood into healthy, happy adults. I understand how important it is to find someone responsible, patient, and truly loving — someone who treats your dog like family. That’s exactly what I offer. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, structure, or medication, I’m fully committed to giving them a safe, calm, and joyful experience. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, routines, and energy levels to make sure they’re always comfortable and happy. With me, your dog will always be: ✔️ Treated with love, patience, and respect ✔️ Kept safe, supervised, and comfortable ✔️ Given plenty of affection, play, and enrichment ✔️ Cared for as if they were part of my own family I can communicate in English, French, Spanish, and Dutch, so feel free to reach out in the language you prefer. I genuinely love dogs, and caring for them brings me so much joy. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾💛 Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very flexible work schedule and plenty of free time. I usually go to the office from 10 AM to around 2 PM, and after that I’m completely free for the rest of the day. If needed, I can also work from home on certain days to accommodate your pet’s needs. On Fridays, I’m free starting at 1 PM, and during the weekends I’m available 100% — all day and all night. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care without rushing or distractions. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my client’s home. In my home: I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs who are very used to being around other pets. I also have one cat who is very calm and will most likely choose to hide or keep to herself when new animals are around. I always make sure visiting pets feel safe by giving them their own space, supervising introductions, and keeping the environment calm and stress-free. In my client’s home: I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer, keeping their space clean, safe, and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior, needs, and comfort levels, and I make sure they feel secure and relaxed at all times. Your home and your pet are treated with the same care and respect as I treat my own. My priority is creating a trustworthy, peaceful environment where every pet can feel safe and loved.

About: Ayant grandi au sein d'un élevage de caniches, j'ai une solide expérience pratique à chaque étape de la vie du chien; des mises bas et de l'éducation des chiots jusqu'aux soins gériatriques et de fin de vie. Mon quotidien très actif me permet de proposer des dépenses physiques sur mesure (course, vélo, natation). Diplômée d'un baccalauréat en physiologie et biologie, j'allie cette expérience terrain à une vraie rigueur scientifique. J’assure le suivi d'éducation des chiots avec patience et consistance, tout comme l'administration rigoureuse de médicaments ou de soins spécifiques. Votre compagnon bénéficie d'un encadrement dynamique, expert et parfaitement sécurisé! Ce n’est pas une tâche que j'ajoute à mon horaire: j'ai déjà ma propre routine quotidienne bien établie depuis mon tout jeune âge. Que ce soit pour les promenades, la course à pied, les moments de jeu ou l'attention au quotidien, la prise en charge d'un animal est déjà pleinement intégrée à mon mode de vie. Accueillir ou visiter un nouvel animal s'insère donc naturellement dans un rythme que je maîtrise déjà parfaitement! À mon domicile, tout est aménagé pour offrir un environnement sécuritaire, stimulant et confortable. Je dispose d'une grande cour entièrement dédiée aux chiens, idéale pour les moments de jeu et de détente. Sur place, les chiens ont accès à un équipement complet : lits douillets, variété de jouets, enclos modulables (X-pens) et cages pour respecter le rythme de repos et la routine de chacun. Que ce soit pour la nuit ou pour la journée, votre compagnon bénéficie d'une attention constante et d'un espace totalement adapté à ses besoins. Lors des promenades, je m'adapte à l'énergie de votre chien (marche rythmée ou course à pied). Je peux utiliser mon propre matériel professionnel et sécuritaire (laisses adaptées) pour garantir des sorties agréables et sous contrôle. Lors des visites ou du gardonnage chez vous, je reproduis fidèlement la routine de votre animal pour ne pas le déstabiliser : alimentation à heure fixe, administration de médicaments si nécessaire, moments de jeu, pause besoins et affection. Je m'assure également de la sécurité des lieux et vous envoie des nouvelles détaillées à chaque passage.

About: I have been around and taken care of many family and friends pets, on occasion, throughout my life. I just recently officially introduced myself to the pet owner life. No matter the personality or energy level of your pet I am ready to be there and take care. I mainly work as an actor. This means that most of the time I have off unless I have a role. Due to the fact that my availability is completely open most of time and I am not fixed to a weekly schedule, I am able to offer my services any time. Even last minute. The owner would be fully aware of anything I can/will do. I am there to not only take care of your pet but also your home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Kirkland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kirkland is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $27 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.

There are 1,689 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Kirkland. About 82% of Kirkland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

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.

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 Kirkland 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!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.
