Dog Sitting Kirkland

“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 have owned and fostered dogs. I currently own a one year old Labernese (Lab and Bernese Mountain Dog mix) who has the look of a lab but the gentle and chill nature of a Bernese. She is anxious with humans but loves other dogs and plays well with little and big dogs alike. I also own a puppy named Sandy. She is 5 months now (July 2026) and is used to all kinds of dogs. Sandy is a sweetheart and loves to play. She has been socialized with dogs and humans since we got her so she gets along with everyone. I love to pack walk and I provide a lot of structure for dog guests to feel comfortable and secure. I work from home and my husband is a stay at home dad. With our kids in school all week we have tons of time to snuggle and play with doggies throughout the day. I have a huge fenced in yard. I live in a large bungalow with lots of room for dogs to hangout and play. We also have a well divided home that allows us to section areas for dogs that are more shy or prefer to be alone then to be around other pups. I work from home as a Strategy Manager with a very flexible schedule. Doggies are welcome in my office and I have set up a spot right by my desk. When we need a break I live in a lovely suburban area close to the Lakeshore and great walking paths. I ask all my clients for their current pet routines in order to stick to that as closely as possible. I believe in trust and consistency and of course....so much love!

“Nous sommes très heureux des soins apportés par Danii lors de notre absence. Elle nous a aussi fait parvenir photos/vidéos de nos chats lors de ses visites.Nous n'hésiteront pas à la contacter de nouveau❣️Merci Danii”

About: I have taken care of dogs, bunnies, cats, for 10+ years. My strength has been in caring for animals with anxiety, nervousness, or shyness, and bringing them comfort and a positive environment. I am very good at reinforcing training for the young ones to provide them consistency and stability in their routine. I am gifted in reading animals and having a lot of patience, and a great passion for them. This allows me to connect with them really effectively and be able to create a safe and loving experience for your fur babies! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full‑time as an operations manager from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day for walks, check‑ins, playtime, and just being present. I’m not rushing in and out between commitments—your pet gets real attention worked into my day, not squeezed in as an afterthought. I used to dog sit in my own home and absolutely loved it, but after moving, my landlord no longer allows pets. Continuing to care for animals in clients’ homes is my way of keeping that connection I genuinely miss. Spending time with pets is something I want to do, not just something I’m fitting in. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s midday walks, medication timing, extra companionship during the workday, or sticking closely to an established routine. It ends up feeling very natural and consistent for them, which I know makes a big difference. For me, pet care is a grounding, enjoyable part of my week—and for your pet, it means calm, reliable care from someone who truly enjoys being there! When I care for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s their space and their routine, not just a place I’m visiting. I stick closely to your instructions—feeding schedules, walk times, meds, house rules—so everything feels as normal as possible for them. I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and comfort, whether that means active time or just being a calm, reassuring presence nearby. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety (doors secure, leashes on, food stored properly). I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel totally at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: your pet feels relaxed and well cared for, and you come home to a happy animal and a home just the way you left it.

About: My partner and I have rescued 4 dogs they have 3 paws each, we have no kids, our dogs are our family! 🐾❤️ I would treat your pet like family like I do mine , I maintain schedules or go around yours, continue their training and I also ensure safe , attentive, and happy care for every pet! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I can dedicate time to walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet the attention and companionship they need. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and always follow the owner’s instructions and routine. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised, whether I’m caring for them in their home or mine.

“Thank you Megan for taking care of Oddie on such short notice!”

About: I've taken care of 3-week old kittens and 2-month old puppies, all the way to senior pets, of all sizes and energy levels! I also have experience with small mammals like mice and bunnies :) I work from my laptop and my schedule is very flexible, so l'll always be around to provide potty breaks, company, and lots of cuddles🥰 My first priority will be the safety of your pet. My pets are like my children and I will treat yours with the same level of care and attention.

“Dawn was amazing with Potter and Luna. She jumped in last minute to take care of my dogs during a busy week. Would highly recommend!”

Bond S.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, having grown up with family dogs (golden retriever, Rottweiler, Yorkshire terrier, husky), and I regularly look after my sister's pups, including her adorable three-legged dog! Last year, I lost my Yorkshire Terrier of eight years, named Reggae and I still miss the joy he brought into my life. While I'm not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own, I miss having that special companionship. When a friend told me about Rover, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share my love for dogs while giving them the care, and affection they deserve. My schedule is flexible, I’m a publicist and entrepreneur. I work remotely and can take breaks when I choose. I like to go for daily walks to get away from the screen. I follow instructions well and can easily adapt to any environment. If you’d like me to put the pup in a crate or specific room, I will do so and make sure to take photos for your reassurance. As a previous dog owner, I understand the importance of safety in any environment. My goal is to make sure they are safe and comfortable!

About: I believe animals are always communicating with us, and I approach pet care by listening first and responding with patience and care. I have 12 years of experience with my own dog and have worked through reactivity, anxiety, fear of noises, and leash pulling using positive reinforcement. I have worked with multiple trainers over the years and have spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and psychology, which has shaped how I care for animals today. I pay close attention to body language and subtle cues like freezing, yawning, or disengaging. When a dog seems overwhelmed, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled by creating space, choosing calmer routes or environments, or redirecting them toward something grounding. With shy or nervous dogs, I always let them approach on their own terms and give them the freedom to take breaks or step away when needed. I also believe in balancing physical and mental stimulation. Along with fulfilling walks, I enjoy incorporating enrichment like sniffing games, confidence-building activities, and gentle training. These activities work well for high-energy dogs and can also help more nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable and confident. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, as well as administering medication including pills, liquids, topical treatments, and ear drops. I am very comfortable following vet instructions and care routines, and I tend to be very organized and attentive to detail. Above all, I genuinely care about each animal’s wellbeing and individuality. I use patience, positive reinforcement, and observation as the foundation of my care, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I’m currently a work-from-home professional so I am quite flexible time and space wise. I am available at virtually any time and can readily offer overnight care in your home while you’re away. With a persistent attention to detail, I frequently look out for when an animal is trying to communicate a need, such as them wanting water, to play, to eat, to be pet, etc. I always ensure they have fresh, clean water and that they are fed the appropriate amount and on time. I also like to spend quality time with them giving them belly rubs and and behind-the-ear scratches. I also look out for their safety by keeping things that might be dangerous out of reach as well as checking in on them frequently to make sure they are doing well :)

About: Hi! I’m a bilingual (English/French) dog lover based in LaSalle. I grew up with a Golden Retriever as our family pet and have also fostered a puppy for six months, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available evenings and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m committed to providing dependable care and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

I provide a calm, patient, and loving environment and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life — German Shepherds, an English Staffy, and cats over the years. Right now I have a 10-month-old kitten of my own, so I know the energy (and mischief) young pets bring. I work from home, which means your pet is never left alone during the day. I'm in an apartment with a large grassy area and parks nearby for dog walks, and I'm fully set up for cats. My two kids (3 and 6) are gentle and great with animals. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than around it. I'm here for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins throughout the day and evening, with flexibility on timing. Weekends are open too, and pets are never left alone for long stretches. In my home, pets stay in a calm apartment with a large grassy area and nearby parks for walks. I keep cats and dogs comfortable, watch feeding and litter or bathroom routines, and make sure everyone has their own space. Because I work from home, I can spot anything off early. In a client's home, I follow your routines closely and keep your space exactly as you left it.

About: New to rover? Book your first visit with me and get 20% off ❤️https://www.rover.com/sit/emmac37000 I had an adorable golden doodle growing up as a kid who was my best friend! Since then I’ve helped with taking care of dogs at the humane society walking them and taking them on doggie day out! I make sure every dog gets plenty of mental stimulation, attention, and safe outdoor time. I am comfortable administering medication, following specific diets, and sending adorable photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away!! Who doesn’t want to see pictures of their four legged family member 🐶 I am available during lunches Wednesdays and Fridays, and evenings every day of the week. On weekends my schedule is completely free! I am happy to adjust to your schedule and figure out a time that works best for you! I have a studio apartment where I can pet sit overnight but there’s lots of greenspace near me and the apartment building is very pet friendly. Lots of people have furry friends here :)

About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings. I’ve worked as a client care receptionist in animal hospitals, where I regularly interacted with pets of all temperaments, assisted with handling animals, checked pets in for surgery and wellness visits, and helped administer medications when needed. I’ve also worked at PetSmart and a grooming salon, where I cared for animals daily, assisted groomers, bathed and brushed dogs, monitored pet behavior, and ensured pets were safe, comfortable, and happy. Through these roles, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, handle pets calmly, and provide compassionate care—especially for nervous or senior animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am an assistant basketball coach and have practices for 1–2 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of those times, I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I occasionally have games on weekends, but I still maintain availability before and after games and will always communicate clearly in advance. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and playtime. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, paying close attention to their body language and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection based on what they’re comfortable with. With my experience working in animal hospitals and pet care settings, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, including shy, senior, or nervous animals, and administering medications when needed. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for.

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: I’ve been taking in strays and fostering furry misfits since I was barely taller than a Labrador! From bottle-feeding kittens to winning over the grumpiest rescue dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets my undivided attention : walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the love they can get! So don’t you worry! Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to make pets feel like they’re on a cozy vacation. At my place, they’ll get a comfy spot to snooze, plenty of playtime, and a calm, loving environment (plus treats if allowed!). In your home, I keep their routine steady—meals on time, walks as usual, and lots of cuddles to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I treat every pet like they’re my own—because for a little while, they kind of are!
