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.
About: I've had dogs and cats for years. I have friends in the animal rescue business, so I've also fostered animals in the past as well. I'd love to meet your crew and take care of him/her/all of them while you are away. Thanks for thinking of me with such an important job! I currently work from home and am available for drop-in visits during the day, evenings or weekends. I'm usually able to work around my day job, and will try to accommodate your needs. My home is a pet-friendly environment. Currently, I have a dog (who loves everyone), and 3 cats. Dogs are welcome in my house, but cats here might be an issue. However, I'd love to watch those kittens at your place. Dogs are always a treat too!
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!

My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in caring and capable hands. I have a 2 year old Irish wolfhound shepherd mix, loves all animals and I have 2 toddlers ages 3 and 2 who are also great around animals.
About: Growing up, I have always loved animals and cared for neighbors and family's pets while they were away. In high school, I started reaching out to neighborhood groups and have now sat for animals as small as fish, bunnies, and ferrets, to as big as pitbulls and even the occasional horse! I have a kitty of my own and will always care for your pets as I do for him! I am in school full-time, so drop-ins and walks work the best for me. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings are available to care for your furry friend! I always make the most of those visits - food, hugs, cuddles, walks, and lots of play time! I always like to ensure any animal feels safe with me when I watch them. Slow and friendly, while confident, movements at first is always my go-to. Any pet always gets the most love and attention while I'm with them, and I leave them feeling cared for and comfortable while their parents are away.

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. 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.

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 Kirkland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kirkland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.

- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
