“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Leanne and I would love to take care of your pet(s) while you're away! I'm an animal lover who understands that pets are no less than family. Whether they need a walk, playtime or just some love and affection, I'll make sure to treat them as if they were my own! I'm patient, reliable and with many years of experience caring for dogs, cats and reptiles, you can be assured that my priority is always making your pet feel safe, happy and comfortable while you're away. Rest assured that no matter the length of my visit, I stay with your pet the entire time. I had a wonderful cat, Archie, who taught me how to properly and carefully administer medication and become very attuned to animals needs through body language and non-verbal communication. My family has always had bull breed dogs that I loved and cared for. I also had a frog, Fern, who lived a long and healthy life and reached 24 years old! I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and safe. I'm always a phone call or text away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

I make sure to follow your rules and keep your animals schedule as close to what they are accustomed to.
“Amazing service and communication! Our animals loved Paige and we truly felt they were left in great hands! The peace of mind was so appreciated! 👌 Thank you for being such a great house/pet sitter!”

About: Hi there! We’re Mackenzie and Sami and we adore animals! 🐶 Mackenzie’s experience: I love all animals!! I’ve basically been surrounding by them since I was born! From taking care of chickens and bunnies, to walking three dogs, to loving two birds and one rescue cat, I’ve almost done it all! For the past two years at home, I’ve had three big dogs and two birds all at once, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! I also know how to respect a scared animals space. I’ve dealt with both a cat(Sami’s cat) and a dog(my own dog) who need much more space than others. 🐱 Sami’s experience: I have a very similar experience to Mackenzie’s! This is mostly because I’ve been living part-time at her house for nearly a year, so I care for the wonderful zoo of three dogs and two birds as well. And the scaredy cat she mentioned is mine! He is quite jumpy, but I give him the most space possibly and give him attention when he wants it so that it is on his terms! 📚— We are both 18 year-old cegep students studying sciences at John Abbott college! We are very dedicated students who are both on the Dean’s List. We are in school five days a week, but have gaps in our schedules and finish before 3 on many days, making time for your pets to be adored! We are free on weekends to house sit and dog walk, and can house sit (long term or short term) if the house is close enough to John Abbott! We could also dog walk during out breaks or after school on weekdays. In your home, we would be very respectful, following all rules put in place. Although we are a young couple, we don’t lack responsibility! Your pets would also be treated with the utmost respect and gentleness, as that is what all animals deserve.
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.
“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”
“We were so grateful to have Tyler take care of Waffle while we were away. Despite him needing medication twice a day and being a challenge in many ways due to his anxiety, she made him very comfortable and put us all at ease. We will definitely continue working with Tyler!”
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.
“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 !”
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!
“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.”
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.
About: I have two dogs, I have taken care of them for 5 years, I have taken my family's pets for walks and to parks. I also had a cat and I know how to take care of them I work full time in the week until 4 pm, after that I'm free. I'm also free the weekends. I can't have pets at my place but I would be able to be at their home. I could take them for walkings, also I could feed them and staying with them if they will be alone, giving them treats and playing with them.
“Amira was absolutely fantastic. Our moody chihuahua took to her right away and she did great giving our senior boxer all the meds he needed with a last minute injury. She kept him happy even when his activity was low. Pups loved her and can’t recommend her enough. Lovers of pictures and updates throughout our trip.”
“Emily et Nicholas ont été des gardiens absolument remarquables. Ils se sont occupés de mes animaux avec beaucoup d’attention, y compris de mon jeune chien de grande taille qui demande des sorties régulières et une bonne dose d’énergie. Tout s’est déroulé à merveille : ils ont su gérer son rythme, ses besoins et lui offrir une présence rassurante. En plus de cela, ma maison était impeccable à mon retour. Ils ont fait preuve de sérieux, de respect et d’un grand sens des responsabilités. Je me suis sentie en totale confiance du début à la fin. Je les recommande sans hésitation à quiconque cherche des gardiens fiables, attentionnés et professionnels.”
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.
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.
About: Bonjour and welcome to our home. We love love Love dogs. Winston has many friends. Big and small but mostly small. He doesn't like to reach so high to give kisses. We go for walks at least 3 times a day. That's not including pee pee trips. My house has a long hall and he and his friends love to play chase.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Superbe première expérience avec les service Rover et Hope. Mon chien, Charly, semblait très heureux, sur les photos envoyées par sa nouvelle amie et gardienne. Dans le futur, j’utiliserai de nouveau ce service avec la même personne. Elle fut ponctuelle et excellente avec Charly. De plus, elle a même réussi à approcher mon chat Tigrou qui est très très craintif avec les personnes qu’il ne connaît pas. J’aurais vraiment aimé connaître ce service plus tôt. A+ et Merci encore ! Cordialement, Les parents de Charly et Tigrou

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kirkland on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,111 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
