About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — from Retrievers, Shepherds, Weimaraners to Border Collies, Basset Hounds to Rottweilers , Cats, and even my horse. With years of hands-on experience across all ages and personalities, I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic younger dogs, and sweet seniors who need a slower pace. I take a calm, gentle approach with every dog, reading their cues and meeting them exactly where they are — whether they need confidence, comfort, reassurance, or a little extra patience. I’m also experienced with medication routines and special care instructions, and I always handle those with the same kindness and attentiveness your dog is used to at home. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, understood, and truly at home. I work during the week, which is why I offer boarding primarily on weekends—when I’m fully available to give your dog the attention, time, and companionship they deserve. My career is flexible, though, so depending on my schedule, I’m also able to offer drop-in visits and walks during the day or in the evenings throughout the week. I always make sure that any service I accept fits comfortably around my work so your dog receives reliable, unrushed, and consistent care. I live in a bungalow with a full basement and a mudroom, so there are very few stairs — perfect for senior dogs or pups with mobility issues. If a dog isn’t comfortable with steps or has joint concerns, I can easily block off or baby-gate the stair areas to keep them safe. My home also has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to play, sniff, and explore. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer time outside, I always stay with the dog — I never leave them out on their own. The yard has minimal steps as well, which is great for dogs who need extra care with mobility. When it comes to sleeping arrangements, I want dogs to feel completely comfortable. They’re welcome to sleep in our room on a cozy dog bed, and if they prefer or are used to a crate, I can set that up as well. Whatever helps them feel safe and settled is what I’ll do. When I’m caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their routines and house rules exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime habits, comfort items, and any special instructions. My goal is for their dog to feel relaxed, secure, and cared for in their own familiar environment. No matter where I’m looking after your dog, you can expect safe supervision, attention to detail, a calm atmosphere, and lots of love.

Pet care fits easily into my flexible schedule. I have lots of free time, reliable transportation, and can adapt to your pet’s needs anytime anywhere. When caring for your dog in your home, I follow your routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect their habits, schedule, and preferences to ensure consistency, safety, and peace of mind.

“I can’t recommend Tyler enough! She cared for our two cats like they were her own. My older cat is very shy and he warmed up to Tyler because of her great energy. Tyler gave us daily updates and photos and even did a couple little extras around the house. We had total piece of mind during our two weeks away. The best!!”

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. 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. I also had a frog, Fern, who lived well beyond her years! I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I currently work remotely, so have plenty of time to work my schedule around your pets. I am available 7 days week, day and night. I do not currently offer boarding in my home, however safety is my top priority when caring for your animals at your house. I make sure to follow your rules and keep your animals schedule as close to what they are accustomed to.
“Victoria was so good with our cat Croissant. We could see that our cat loves her. She took care to send us updates with photos every day. We are so glad that we left him in such good hands during our vacation. Would absolutely recommend her without a doubt!”

About: I adopted two kittens and a dog, and they lived harmoniously with me for 16 to 18 years. I ensured they were well-behaved by setting clear boundaries with plenty of love. My cats were primarily indoor, but once I trained them not to run, I allowed them outside in the backyard. At the sound of a clap, they would rush back to the patio door, knowing it was time to come inside. My dog, Fendi, was also well-trained from puppyhood. I always made sure they received high-quality, veterinarian-approved food, regular grooming, and plenty of exercise and affection. I gave them a happy, healthy life. My beloved dog, Fendi, passed away on December 26, 2024, after 16 wonderful years together. I miss him more than words can express. Now, I want to offer my services to pet owners, sharing my love and care with other dogs and cats, knowing they’ll be in good hands. I am home based permanently at the moment but will be retiring in a couple of months. I am an empty nester with a lot of free time. I exercise daily and love taking long walks. I give any pet my full attention and interact with them in order to stimulate them intellectually. Naturally this will depend on the dog's character, age and physical ability. I will ensure they get to enjoy the outdoors. I have a large backyard to let the pet roam around. I will carry out any instructions provided by the owners in order to have the dog maintain his routine.

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 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.

About: My approach centers on maintaining your pet’s unique routine, from walks and calming companionship. I am experienced in dog training, walking and care, as I’ve had my own dogs to care for for over 30 years! 🐶 💗 I’m available for dog walking/boarding on the weekends for now and in the months of July and August I will be available to walk your dog or board your dog daily!

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.

About: With eight years of experience caring for friends' and family's dogs, along with a lifetime of having my own dogs, I bring a deep understanding and love for pets. I've also fostered cats and other animals, providing a well-rounded approach to animal care. I ensure pets of all ages receive the best attention and offer personalized care, tailoring activities to each pet's needs. I am known for my reliability and trustworthiness. Plus, my flexible scheduling accommodates both short-notice and regular appointments. During the summers, when I have full-time availability, pet care becomes my primary focus. I dedicate my days to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need to thrive. With flexible scheduling and ample time on my hands, I can accommodate various needs and preferences, from extended walks to extra playtime sessions. As a full-time student during the fall and winter, my availability changes. Despite academic commitments, I prioritize pet care during these times, ensuring that pets continue to receive the same level of attention and affection. Evenings are perfect for leisurely walks and quality bonding time, while weekends allow for more extended adventures and outings. Rest assured, my dedication to reliable and trustworthy pet care remains unwavering throughout the year, adapting seamlessly to accommodate both academic and pet care responsibilities. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for their beloved companions. I begin by familiarizing myself with the pet's routine, preferences, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. This ensures a seamless transition and minimizes stress for the pet. Throughout my time in the client's home, I maintain open communication with the owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured. I adhere closely to the pet's feeding schedule, ensuring they receive proper nutrition and any necessary medications as instructed. Daily exercise and playtime are integral parts of my care routine, tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, I ensure pets receive the physical activity they need to stay happy and healthy. In addition to physical care, I offer companionship and emotional support, spending quality time bonding with the pet through cuddles, grooming, and positive reinforcement. I respect the client's home and property, maintaining cleanliness and security throughout my stay. Ultimately, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized care that meets the unique needs of each pet and gives owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands while they're away.
“Jess and Erik were absolutely amazing caregivers to our cat. They were extremely communicative, sent updates with photos and left a thorough report for us after each visit. Before booking, they asked all pertinent questions to make sure to provide the best care and attention for our cat. You can really tell they love animals and go above and beyond to ensure we (the owners) are comfortable and the animal feels secure and happy. Thank you so much, would definitely recommend this couple to care for your pets while you are 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!

Ashley took such amazing care of our 2 cats over 2 weeks! It was our first time on Rover and we are so happy with her service.

Would definitely recommend her service to anyone :)

There are 1,808 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kirkland. About 84% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Kirkland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
