Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!

We were very happy to have Amelia check in on our two dogs while we were away for a week. We asked her to come mid-day to walk them because my son didn't get home til late. She added daily pictures and gave me updates, also answered any of my questions right away. She was always punctual and reliable. I would hire her again!

We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Vanessa. She stayed overnight with our dog and took such great care of her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the stay-it gave us peace of mind knowing our Maddie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for . Vanessa was reliable , attentive, and treated our dog like her own. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.

This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, my family used to rescue strays and my grandmother used to breed Pomeranians. I myself have shown dogs in 4-H as well, in both showmanship and obedience classes! I also have special need doggo right now and understand how to distribute oral medications correctly. I understand how hard it is to trust your furry loved ones to someone who you don’t know, and I promise to always provide a gentle and loving environment for them no matter the case! I am a college student at the moment so I will not be able to be with your furry loved one full time! However my class schedule is flexible enough that I will be sure that your pet is well taken care of! I have most evenings absolutely free as well as weekends meaning I can be with your pet full time during that time! My own dog gets about two walks a day! He receives medication as well as special stimulation treats during the day, along with a weekly spa day, he is one pampered pooch!! My cat gets wet food every morning and dry food every evening, he is long haired so this furry kitty also gets groomed very regularly. Both of my pets also get night time treats just for being adorable.

Kellie handled our four senior kitties with ease. Came home to everything in its place and clean. She even got our kitty Koona to finish her meals (she had been not eating for a day before we left). I could tell by the pics the kitties were happy. Thank you Kellie!

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work from home Monday through Thursday, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I occasionally have an in-person meeting, but I’m typically only away for an hour or two at most. I work in person Friday evenings and Saturdays, so my availability is primarily Sunday through Friday afternoon. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet lots of love and care while keeping them comfortable with their normal routine! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I offer a variety of pet care services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, overnight care, medication administration (when needed), litter box cleaning, and of course, lots of love and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I'll gladly send photo and video updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. I've spent many years caring for my own pets as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. Through those experiences, I've learned how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually so I can provide care that matches their unique personality. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I have availability during Sundays, weekdays and most evenings, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules. I never want a pet to feel rushed or overlooked, so I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave home knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to building a lasting relationship with both you and your pet!

Angela was able to visit our two kittens on short notice and worked us into her schedule. She was thorough and spend lots of time loving on them. She even brought in our Sunday papers which was super helpful.

Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 444 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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 cat, 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 with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

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 sitter.
