“Hope is an AMAZING pet sitter. She took incredible care of our dog and cat while we were away. It was evident through the pictures she sent throughout our trip that our animals were comfortable with her. They were often seen with their bellies in the air or on her lap. Additionally, they looked happy and healthy when we came home. We will absolutely book with Hope again. Thank you!”
“Merci beaucoup Mackenzie et Sami pour avoir garder Gaïa J’ai reçu des vidéos et photos du déroulement de leur journée j’ai beaucoup je vous contacterai pour les prochaines sorties à venir”
About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.
“This past Christmas break was my first experience with Rover and Charmaine. It was easy, simple and I never had a worry knowing Westley was being well cared for if I could give 10 stars I would. Charmaine is lovely and was a pleasure to communicate with and have in my home to look after Westley. I will definitely book Charmaine anytime I can when we are away.”
“Jay did a fantastic job taking care of boomer. She was attentive and took amazing care while we were away. She meticulously handled and followed all of our instructions to a T. We are very grateful for the care she provided!”
“Une gardienne incroyable ! Je recommande fortement Isabelle. Nous avons été pris au dépourvu par un de nos chats qui est tombé malade juste avant nos vacances, et nous sommes donc partis à la recherche d’une gardienne pour la fin de semaine. Isabelle a répondu très rapidement dès notre premier contact, et nos chats se sont tout de suite entichés d’elle. La mission n’était pourtant pas simple : gérer quatre chats, dont un qui doit recevoir des médicaments deux fois par jour pour son œil. Elle s’en est sortie avec brio ! Nous avons retrouvé nos chats calmes et reposés. Un vrai bonheur, merci !”
“Professional.Reliable.Friendly. Olivia was the best sitter we could ask for. She left our home impeccable and our pups very happy. We could not have asked for more and hope to use her services again in the near future, thank you Olivia !”
About: I’ve been sitting privately with loyal clients that have grown because of their referrals. I’ve sat a diverse group of clients from 3 furry friends under one roof to 1 with an asthma pump. Pet sitting is a great fit into my routine! As a masters student who lives far from school, house sitting simplifies the trips. A greater benefit is in having to take care of a pet, I remember to take care of myself. So the walks and set times to eat go a long way I am used to having a personalized care plans for all clients. Dogsitting is a time for me to be alone as I work with people all day (no parties)
About: Experienced dog owner skilled in training, walks, stimulating playtime and giving medication. I understand dog personalities and body language and help dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I have a talent for making animals fall in love with me after they meet me. I currently work hybrid out of my home and office downtown but my schedule is flexible. I can fit week day pet care into my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard where my dogs can run and roam. I live in a clean, three story home with lots of light and soft surfaces for animals to sleep and play. I client's homes I am clean, respectful and will respect any requests made about routine and maintenance, making sure I give your animals the routine and care they are used to.
“Highly recommend Amira! She is absolutely fantastic. She sent me many videos and pictures of her and my dog Bear on long walks and playing fetch. You can tell she really loves animals and takes extremely good care of them. 5/5 will for sure be booking Amira again.”
About: I have had doggies my whole life and since my last darling passed, I have been a foster Mom and boarder to many! I adore doggies and have a huge yard and heart to match! I support many online charities that save and care for refuge doggies! I was also a caregiver for my senior Mom in her latter years, so patience and love come naturally to me. I am retired so home all day and love having doggies to share the house! I also share the house with a friend so we are both available for walkings etc. I have a huge yard that is partially fenced-in to allow doggies to run and "do their business" throughout the day outside of regular walk times.
“Such a pleasant and easy experience with Savannah. Very impressed with her professionalism, positive quiet energy, excellent care for my dog not to mention she left the house spotless. Will hire again. Highly recommend”

About: One-on-One Dog Care You Can Trust 🐾 I care for one dog at a time, giving full attention, love, and supervision. I have a Sealyham Terrier of my own and years of experience caring for friends’ dogs of various breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, adults, and seniors, follow routines closely, provide walks, cuddles, and updates, and make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Hi! I am new to Rover, but not new to caring for dogs. I’m an active, responsible dog lover living in Pincourt. I’m a full-time teacher, so I’m not available on weekdays, but I’m home evenings and weekends and absolutely love caring for dogs during my time off. School breaks work best for me , that's when your pup will get my full attention, love and supervision. I’m calm, patient, and gentle, and I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and relaxed in my home. I keep things peaceful and clean, and I always follow your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In My Home: I provide one-on-one attention in a calm, safe, and clean environment. Dogs get walks, playtime, cuddles, and rest according to their routine. I follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and any special needs. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and safe. At Your Home (Drop-Ins): I visit your dog’s home to provide feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I respect your space and routines, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is for every dog to feel safe, cared for, and relaxed.
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!
About: Pet care experience: "I've worked professionally as a dog walker and groomer at a boarding facility for several years, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Over 14 years, I've handled everything from high-energy puppies to anxious seniors, including leash training, bathing, nail trims, and medication administration. I'm active, attentive, and treat every dog like my own — with plenty of exercise, playtime, and calm routines. Owners get regular photo updates and can trust their pup is in capable, caring hands I work full-time Monday–Thursday, so I'm available for evening care, overnight boarding, and weekend sitting. Fridays I'm off, and weekends I'm fully available for dogs needing active play, multiple walks, and consistent routines. I can occasionally adjust my schedule with advance notice, but my best availability is Friday–Sunday. I live 100m from a park where dogs get multiple daily walks and active playtime. My dog is extremely friendly, well-behaved, and great with other dogs and cats, she's the perfect calm companion for social pups. I'm experienced with behavioral management, crate training, and keeping anxious or high-energy dogs comfortable. All dogs are leashed outside, and I keep emergency vet info on hand. Your dog's safety, exercise, and comfort are my top priorities.

Hope is a wonderful house and dog sitter. Both Archie and Mocha took to her immediately and treated her like their own 😆. They were happy and content and she followed all the schedules and instructions to make my trip as easy on them as possible. She provided continuous updates and many photos that made me smile don't feel good while I was away. She also left the house in perfect shape for my return. I already have her booked for my next long-term trip.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kirkland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kirkland walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
