“Stephanie is an excellent choice for your pet's care. She shows genuine interest in our precious Katie, always shows on time, is very communicative, and friendly. Katie loves her walks with Stephanie :-) Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten ne through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee!
About: Your furry friends will have a blast during our time together. I will provide top-notch care while making sure your pup is happy, safe and more importantly, comes home tired! I take the dogs on multiple walks daily, walk around Sugarhouse Park and spend lots of time at the off-leash dog park at Fairmont Park. Your pups will have a blast playing with me and my little pug, Potato. I will send frequent updates/videos/picture of your furry friend so that you feel close to them and don’t miss them too much while you’re away! I am also able to administer any medications that may needed. I am able to host your dog at my apartment or stay at your house to make things more convenient to you!
“Sara is great with our one year old me Golden Retriever Abby. Abby is excited to see her at the door for her weekly walk. Sara is patient with Abby, she gets excited and is not the best walker.”
About: I love animals and have experience with pets from my time working at a vet clinic receptionist to watching cats and dogs for friends and family! Experience with senior animals and giving medications. I believe in understanding a pet's needs and responding with compassion. I currently work full time in person with a flexible schedule. I will chat with you before we commit to pet sitting to ensure my schedule works for your needs (if that's dropping in before or after my shift, over lunch for a walk, etc). I am able to hang out with your pets, drop in, or walk your pets during the day and stay overnight if needed! I currently don’t offer to have pets stay in my home.
“I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! It gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. Walker is dependable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog gets excited every time they arrive, which says everything I need to know. Communication is excellent, with updates and photos that make me feel connected even when I’m away. Walker is always punctual, attentive to my dog’s needs, and goes above and beyond to ensure every walk is safe, fun, and enriching. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pet like their own, Jennifer is the perfect choice. Five stars!”

“Lacey is fabulous! He is polite, patient, and flexible. He walked my 89 year old mother’s dog and handled her constantly changing requests with grace and kindness. Her old dog adapted quickly to his visits and waited by the door for him to arrive. He arrived on time for every walk, printed out the schedule for my mom who forgets things, and was just all-around wonderful. I highly recommend him and thank him for everything he has done.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up in a home where they were family, and I can't treat them any other way. I have a love for all cats and dogs, no matter the age or size. They all deserve the very best we can provide! I am available for weekend pet care. I have an 8-5 Monday through Friday job, but I love having weekend flexibility to help out other pet-parents! I will follow whatever instructions you have given me to keep your home as comfortable for your pet as possible. I can feed, recrate (unless they stay out), clean up, and play and leave your home and pet in a safe and clean condition
About: I am a 23 year old animal lover servicing the Wilmington area. I have had animals from a very young age and have experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, and small animals. I am very new to the Wilmington area and still in between jobs right now so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment until I find something more stable. I take pride in caring for animals through my entire life. I have had my own animals since the day I was born, and often watch family friends and neighbors animals. I have lots of experience when it comes to animals as I have a large number of pets myself.
About: I've been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old. I have worked both with a professional company and with my self-run business. I am on the veterinarian track and am looking for more experience. I'm a college student with classes twice a week. I have free day availability Mon, Wed, Fri. On these days, I have flexible availability due to having online classes. I am respectful of house and pet rules. Your pet will be safely cared for as instructed and kept within the boundaries set by the owner.
About: I provide reliable drop-in visits and energy-burning dog walks for pet owners who want peace of mind while they're away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, fresh water, feeding, playtime, companionship, or a long walk to work off extra energy, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. I have personally owned and cared for dogs for more than 22 years and understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Through years of hands-on experience, I've learned how important consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions are to a dog's overall well-being. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet in my care with the same attention and affection I give my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet's specific routine and care instructions. During visits, I can provide exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed and instructions are provided), and plenty of love and attention. For walks, I enjoy giving dogs the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay healthy and content. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide drop-in visits and walks during available hours. I believe pets deserve quality one-on-one attention, and I make every effort to ensure they receive the time, care, and exercise they need. My goal is to help you feel confident knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work from home so if your needs are during the week I can do 2 drop in’s or walk during the week. I can do anytime on the weekends. I currently have a dog that doesn’t always do well with other dogs. He has never bitten anyone but I’m not sure how he would react with another dog in the house.
About: I’ve always connected well with animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog walked and watched others’ animals from a very young age. I was 22 when I decided to become a dog trainer. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the best programs in the country at Animal Behavior College, with a certificate in canine behavior therapy & a concentration in rehabilitating shelter dogs. I’m also qualified to train emotional support animals, which has been so rewarding. I chose this as a career path because of how much I genuinely love all living things. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them the best care they could ask for! I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can tend to whatever schedule best suits the animals. I don’t have pets of my own, so that gives me even more flexibility. I always make sure I’m doing my best to care for animals, in any aspect of my life or career. I’m diligent in making sure their feeding, walking and play schedules are upheld promptly, and that their routines stay relatively in tact. This is one of the best things you can do to ease a pet’s anxiety about their owners being away. I work as a trainer, which means I’m happy to add on training sessions with your pet while they’re in my care, through my business if that’s something of interest. I’m very amenable to the specifications for each individual animal. Some dogs like to be given affection on the couch for a few minutes each day. Others might enjoy watching the birds in their yard for a while. I’m always happy to attune my care for each dog. When walking a dog, the quality of the walks are just as important as their frequency. Dogs require a certain level of mental stimulation each day, and ten minutes of sniffing is enough to satisfy most dog’s needs. They need the sniffing as much as the exercise. Your dog will be given ample time to sniff and “read the doggy newspaper”, as well as get some great exercise. I always make sure the animal has gotten everything that they need from the experience.
“Sarah was amazing with our fur-baby. This was the first time Bleu was with a dog walker and she helped everyone feel at ease. She was attentive to his needs, and helped him feel very comfortable even when he was unsure about walking with a new person.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Stephanie has been wonderful with both my mother amd her 15 yearold dog. She is kind, thoughtful, and takes time for both of them. It has meant so much to my 89 year old mom to have Stephanie come by twice a day to take Daisy for a nice long slow walk. Both Daisy and my mom are doing so much better since Stephanie started. We are all very grateful to her for her compassion and reliability.
We’ve always relied on friends and family to care for our dog, so trusting someone new was a big step for us. Bonnie exceeded every expectation. I left her a detailed list of instructions, and she followed every one with great care and attention to detail. She was punctual, kind, responsive, and it was obvious from the start how much she genuinely loves animals. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, and will treat your pet like one of their own, I can’t recommend Bonnie highly enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we will definitely be using her again.
I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! It gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Kirkland on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kirkland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kirkland.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
