“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: I’ve been caring for dogs for over three years now. My longest stay has been with two dogs for 21 days. There’s nothing in this world that I love more than spending time with pups, so I’d love nothing more than to care for your dogs, however long you need me! I don’t have a job in the summer so I have lots of time, I usually workout in the morning at 7:30 and then usually have something early afternoon, but I’m never away for longer than 2 hours. I’m big on dog love, the more they learn that we can trust each other, the smoother we will get along. However much care your dog needs, I’m willing to provide!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog. That experience taught me how important patience, routine, trust, and attention are when looking after someone’s pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will always treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is very flexible, and pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I usually work out in the mornings a few days a week, but I’m free most of the day and can make plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping your pet company. I’ll always make sure I only accept bookings where I can give your dog the time, care, and attention they deserve. I prefer caring for pets in their own home or taking them on walks, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. During walks, I stay attentive, patient, and responsible at all times.
About: I grew up with dogs (I currently have two large breed dogs) and I’ve also been a volunteer at a dog adoption center for most of my life. I have lots of experience with dogs of various ages, temperaments, and breeds. I have also volunteered at an animal hospital and have assisted with shelter vet visits. I am currently a Cegep student studying to be a veterinary technician so I have lots of availability to walk and play with your dogs ! Since dogs all have different needs and behaviours I will do my best to adapt to whatever will make your dog happy ! I will follow usual schedules in order to keep your dog comfortable and will provide lots of love and care as if they were my own :)!
About: I’ve care for cats and dogs. I lived with a puppy Labrador retriever and still puppy sit him when his parents are out of town. I also had my own cockapoo from puppyhood. I’ve fostered 4 dogs in the last 8 months. Love the cuddles and their sweetness. I’ve also cat sat and he really warmed up to me. My cats having usually been pretty good with other pets. If not they have lots of room for them to hide in my home. Big Fenced in backyard for dogs to roam. I’m not working so I have lots of time on my hands and love pet sitting. We could keep each other company. Send me a note! Have a fenced yard and a big house where they can roam. I love cuddling with them on the couch ❤️ Cats love my petting and dogs love to be brushed. I have 2 sizes of crates. That lots of dogs like.
“Marianne is so sweet and my puppy loves her. She’s very reliable and great with communication. Best of all, my puppy always comes home tired and my husband and I get a break 😅”
About: I've had pets my whole life and have taken care of family & friends pets when they're away for the better part of my adult life. I have always been passionate about animals! Also owned a pet boutique (grooming and supplies) for close to 5 years and have learned many skills along the way :) I am currently home full time and can go out for walks and other adventures to suit individual needs. I also have a latge fenced in yard that dogs can use freely. I have a large fenced in back yard, 2 dogs and 2 cats and live just a few minutes away from a large nature park!
About: I love meeting new dogs. No matter what type of dog it may be, it makes my day:) I go on walks with my own dog every day to get his excercise in and love cuddling and socializing with him. I would love to do that with other dogs and have them meet my friendly chocolate lab! His name is Murphy and he loves to meet new friends. I have been dog sitting for neighbours for many many years now, even pet setting other types of pets as well! I used to have a cat and I love cats just as equally as dogs. This is so exciting for me to be able to do. Feel free to contact me whenever to pet sit for you! Sincerely, Avery
“Jessica and Erik were great! Although it was only for a brief time, they were warm and friendly and Picotine took to them right away. If you’re looking for reliable, dog loving walkers, i highly recommend them!”
About: Malheureusement je ne peux pas avoir de chiens à la maison, mais j'aime bien les chiens qui ont besoin de bouger. Les chiens qui aiment les grandes marches et qui aiment jouer ne s'ennuieront pas avec moi et seront probablement épuisés avant moi! À l'adolescence, je m'occupais à l'occassion des chiens de 1-2 voisins lorsqu'ils partaient en vacances. Je travaille de la maison 3 jours par semaine, cela peut donc donner plus de flexibilité lors de ces journées. Autre j'essaie de réserver mes week-ends à la famille, donc habituellement moins de disponibilités ces jours-là. J'ai un chat à la maison, qui ne sort dans ma cour cloturée que sous supervision (il est trop peureux de toute façon pour sortir seul).
About: Hello! I'm probably one of the biggest dog lovers out there! My eyes light up when I see them! I've grown up having family dogs of all sizes from pomeranians to great danes. I've volunteered in dog rescue centers in Thailand, been a babysitter to countless pets around the world and have worked at a doggy daycares in Vancouver. I've been a dog walker, taking up to 7 dogs on hikes. I love learning about dog behaviour and getting better at dog training. I have two dogs of my own, Belle and Ivy. We adopted Belle as a small sick puppy, she's now full of life and the love of my life. We rescued Ivy from a very hard life in Arizona, she's a shy girl but she has come such a long way in our family. Can't wait to meet your furry family members! If i work out of the house, it's only for a few hours at a time. The majority of the time, my husband or I are home. We hate leaving our pups alone for too long. I love walking, so daily walks are always provided, rain or shine. And we make time for cuddles and play time no matter what. Dogs are treated like kings and queens at our house. It's more their house and we just happen to live here to serve them. I know every dog has different needs, and I am always respectful of their boundaries. If they wants cuddles, it's exactly what they'll get. If they prefer to he left alone, that is fine also!
About: Growing up in a pet-loving home, I found joy in caring for various animals. My family has 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 bunnies. I am the number 1 babysitter for all of my family. I always stay in communication with the dogs owner by sending updates with pictures and videos. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I prioritize their well-being. When I visit my family, I happily bring my dog for walks or to the dog park. Afterwards, I indulge in delightful moments with the cats, showering them with affection through gentle scratches. I provide pet care at home or in my client's home by ensuring their well-being. From feeding to playtime and exercise, I prioritize their happiness and health, fostering a loving environment for these cherished companions.
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very 13, whether it be sitting for my aunt or walking my neighbours dogs. I also own a dog! He’s 4 years old. Dogs have always loved me and I’ve always had a deep and genuine love for them. I’m currently in school during the week however I have really big breaks during my day to spend with your puppies! I’m available every weeknight except for Tuesdays. I’m also available early morning on and in the afternoon and evening on Saturdays as well as all day on Sundays. I’m not currently offering boarding services however my dog at home is very well cared for! We go on daily walks and has lots of time during the day to run around in the backyard. He isn’t too fond of the dog park but I bring him every so often so socialize him with some other dogs!
About: I have a soothing and calming energy that dogs feel right away. I enjoy seeing dogs get their exercise and brings me joy to see them being happy. I am currently available during business hours, however I can be flexible as long I have 1-2 days notice to accommodate your request. Weekends can vary. I am currently provding dog walking and dog sitting at your home. Feel free to reach out to me for a meet and greet and for any questions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kirkland on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,950 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:
- 90% 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.
