About: My wife and I both grew up in homes with dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. We understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks and we genuinely enjoy getting to know them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply keeping your pet comfortable while you’re away, we’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. We’re also comfortable with dogs of different ages and needs, from energetic pups to seniors who need a little extra patience. Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. We’re dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same kindness and respect we give our own. I work from home, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my day. I’m already active with walks and workouts, so including dogs or cats in my routine feels natural. Whether it’s morning, evening, or weekends, I can give pets the consistency and attention they need. I work from home, so pets are never left alone for long. I’m active and make sure dogs get plenty of walks, play, and attention. In your home, I follow routines exactly as you lay them out, keeping pets comfortable in their own space. I create a safe, calm environment where they feel looked after like family.

About: Hi, I'm Tristan! I've shared my life with cats, dogs, and hamsters, from playful puppies and kittens to calm senior pets, so I know how to care for animals at every stage of life. I have a natural bond with animals, and I pay close attention to their body language, so I can tell when a pet is nervous, excited, or just needs some quiet time. I treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as familiar as possible. The dog in my profile picture is a rescue from my volunteer work in Portugal last year. She escaped her yard during a thunderstorm and hid at the farm where I was working. She trusted me, and I walked her back to town until we found her home. That's the kind of patience and care your pet will get from me. I'd love to meet you and your pet. Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet! I live in laval have my own car and work 9-5, im available on weekends and weeknights! I work full time, im available for work in the weeknights or weekends! I have my own car and will travel to you if it is possible for me to still go to my job on time I treat every pet like my own, and I start by learning their routine: feeding times, walk schedule, favorite toys, and any quirks. I keep things as familiar as possible so they feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to body language, so I can tell when a pet is nervous, overexcited, or needs quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. On walks, I use a secure leash or harness and stay alert to my surroundings. Inside, I keep doors and windows closed, and I never leave pets unsupervised in a way that could put them at risk. I send regular photo and video updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I'm also always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, so both you and your pet feel comfortable before the first booking. If anything unexpected happens, I stay calm, contact the owner right away, and get the pet to a vet if needed.

About: I cared for my Bernese Mountain dog since he was just a puppy. I've learned it all from puppy training into care-giving for a senior's dog's every need. My expertise surely comes into senior dog care, but I am more than happy to care for your dog. I ask that we schedule a pre-booking meet & greet at a location convenient for you to meet your dog, understand the routine, so I can ultimately integrate seamlessly into your bud's life as smoothly as possible. I work full-time, partly in the city, partly remotely. I can dog sit while I work from home (so long as you have wifi) and weekends I can make myself free. Check-in with me for my most up to date schedule. I will care for your pet in your home, I can adapt to a variety of living situations. If there are any particularities, tell me ahead of time and I will blend in.

About: About 5 years ago, my family and I added a new member to our family. My life changed ever since that day. I never knew love for animals could grow this big but here we are. I think every dog deserves this type of love and I am here to provide that. I’m currently working part-time and am not in school so my schedule is VERY flexible and free. I am also willing to make all necessary adjustments to please my clients. ☺️ I have a pup at home, so I am very used to that fur baby lifestyle. All equipment needed is required in my service apart from collars or harnesses due to different sizing for different doggies.

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 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: 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 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: I have been around animals my whole life. I've been around dogs and cats that lived with me, and that friends/family asked me to care for. I love them and enjoy caring for them. I currently work at a vet clinic (part time), so I am informed and can easily recognize signs of illness/poisoning/injury in pets, especially cats and dogs. I work full time and am a university student part-time. While I have a weird schedule, I am also available for up to 10-15 hours/week, on weekends, weekdays, mornings and evenings. I always make sure to inform myself as much as possible on your pets' personality and needs, and will make sure I do exactly what you would do if you were home, so as to not make your pet anxious. I am careful, focused, and would rather be safe than sorry when it comes to others' pets. I know how I would want someone to take care of my cats, so I would take care of your pet as if they were my own.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kirkland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kirkland is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,156 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Kirkland. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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
  • 94% 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.
