“We had a great experience with Hope walking Loba. She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves dogs. Loba enjoyed the walks and came back happy and relaxed. Knowing that she was taking such good care of our dog gave me peace of mind while I was at work. We would definitely recommend her and book again!”
About: Hey, I’m Monica! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with dogs and volunteered for years at a shelter, caring for pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’m active and happy to do long walks, but I also adapt to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable at home. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, keep up with walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, and make sure they’re not left alone for long. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment in my home, sticking closely to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful of your space and follow all care instructions carefully
“Je suis contente que cela soit bien passé la promenade aujourd'hui. Maintenant, joonie ne jappe plus quand Valencia vient le chercher. Je suis contente que le lien s'est créé entre eux.”
“Melissa is amazing, my dog had the best time of his life. He was so exhausted everyday from so much playing. She also gave plenty of updates and was able to capture great photos of how happy he was in her care. Already planning our next booking! Thank you, it's clear you love what you do.”
About: From Chihuahuas and Coton de Tuléars to powerful Boerboels, I’ve cared for nearly 10 dogs throughout my life. Trainer-guided experience, dependable care, and plenty of tail wags guaranteed! My schedule is flexible enough that I can usually fit in a walk, some playtime, or a visit with your furry family member. Spending time with dogs is honestly one of the best parts of my day! Having cared for dogs ranging from tiny Chihuahuas and Coton de Tuléars to German Shepherd to giant Boerboels, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Expect plenty of walks, belly rubs, playtime (and treats if approved 😄)! I’ll follow your routine closely, respect your home, and make sure your dog gets lots of love while you’re away. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands.
About: I have 4 years of experience in caring for pets and I truly love every moment with them. I love running, playing and training pets. I would love to get a chance to know your furry friends. I have a couple of free days in my week and would love some company :) I have one cat at home and would love to eventually adopt a dog, unfortunately my partner isn’t able to take a dog out for walks during the days I work my main job. So for now I get my fun out on the days I get to meet your pets ! I am very present and attentive when caring for a pet. I always keep my eyes on them to make sure they don’t get into any trouble.
“Rocio is amazing. So prompt, caring, positive attitude and genuinely cares for the health and well-being of her dogs. I can already tell Del really enjoys you and will have a great relationship together! I am so excited for this!”
About: To say, I have a mad love affair with dogs is the start of an award-winning poem I've only ever imagined. Dogs will always be puppies no different than my 25-year-old nephews who remain my babies. I trained my cairn/tibetan cross off-leash, paraded hallways with her doing pet-therapy, traveled across oceans with her, explored raw diets with her, and taught myself holistic alternatives to relieving canine discomforts like itchy skin, poor appetite, UTI, kennel cough, anxiety, liver issues No matter my expertise, your dog is your dog. If you say no table scraps, your dog gets none. If puppy needs to eat at 4, they're eating then. And, if the dawg is ever uncomfortable, you'll know ASAP and you'll advise our next steps. I work from home, most often. Walking & caring for K9s is absolutely a part of my routine. I'm very much into holistic doggie care, agility & behavior training, pet nutrition. Host of a 360 dog wellness podcast THISisDog! I clip toe nails, bathe doggies, groom them, train them to respond to basic commands, including recall They are loved indoors and out. Their paws are wiped, bellies are fed, ears are rubbed, eyes are cleaned. They are walked and chased in our yard, at dog runs. And, finally, to lessen the separation anxiety and increase the fun quotient on this vacation (they may not yet be aware of!), I'd love you to bring -your dog's favorite bed or blanket they call home, - food & water bowls, - a paw cloth for those muddy hikes, - favorite 'you deserve this" treat, and of course, - their food & meds

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. I’ve also volunteered with dogs at the SPCA and currently volunteer with cats, helping with feeding, cleaning, socialization, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also studying at McGill and hope to become a veterinarian one day, so animal care is something I’m truly passionate about both now and in the future. I am a student at McGill University which gives me some of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and spending quality time with your pets. Since I already care for my own dog and cat, pet care is naturally part of my routine. I’m reliable, active, and happy to adapt to your pet’s schedule, whether they need exercise, playtime, feeding, or just some company during the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your home, where pets can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet receives the attention and care they need. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to get to know each pet and help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to creating a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll also keep you updated throughout my visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Since childhood, I have had a deep love for animals, whether it’s energetic puppies, gentle cats, or other small creatures—I’ve always been eager to understand and care for them. Years of experience in pet care have taught me that every animal has its own unique personality and needs. I am not only skilled in caring for young pets, helping them develop good habits, but also deeply attuned to the special needs of senior pets, such as easing joint pain, adjusting diets, and providing extra companionship and patience. I believe that caring for pets goes beyond just providing food and shelter—it’s about listening to their needs and offering them a sense of security and love. Every moment spent with animals fills me with a sense of their trust and reliance, which is why I am so passionate about this work. Whether it’s daily companionship or handling unexpected situations, I approach every pet with professionalism and a warm heart, ensuring they feel the comfort of home. I’m currently working part time jobs, so I have a lot of free time, either in the mornings or evenings, and you are welcome to come and ask me for advice! I'll be happy to oblige and find me a time that works for us! I have great experience with dogs and cats so I can easily do the day to day tasks of caring for them, if you have additional needs you can talk to me and I will do the same great job!

“Alessandro was punctual, pleasant and ready to assist with Jagger. It was evident he was comfortable with Jagger and showed him kindness and patience. Jagger is extremely anxious and high maintenance. We were in the middle of a move and required special assistance. We cannot thank Alessandro enough! He went above call of duty. I would highly recommend Alessandro.”

We had a wonderful experience with Nathalie as our dog walker. She was responsible, professional, reliable, and truly caring throughout the entire time we worked with her. We were very happy with her service and, most importantly, felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. Nathalie went above and beyond what we expected and consistently showed genuine care and attention. Her dedication and professionalism really stood out, and we couldn’t have asked for a better choice. We highly recommend Nathalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. Thank you, Nathalie, for taking such great care of our furry family member! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kirkland on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,872 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Kirkland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kirkland.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Kirkland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
