“Amanda is amazing! She was so caring with my two dogs, that I believe they miss her already! I never had to worry for a moment about them being lonely. She went above and beyond anything I could ever have expected in the attention that she gave them… and my home. She and her boys gave my pups the love and attention they crave. Even my neighbors commented about how friendly she is and how the dogs enjoyed their walks with her. I highly recommend!”
“Raechel did an amazing job of watching our 2 dogs for an entire week. She sent us pics of our dogs and let us know how they were doing. Was super nice to come home to some relaxed dogs and know they were well taken care of.”
“Very punctual, communication and timing were excellent and above all else my pup absolutely Loved Gavin! Highly recommend using Gavin for walks/out of town trips requiring a sitter!”
“Lyndsay did a fabulous job making Finley comfortable and happy while we were gone. It was a last minute request and she was very communicative. I will request her again!”
About: I’ve been petsitting since I was 15! I’m currently in school studying biology but prior experience in highschool I was able to get into Veterinary assisting. My job is incredibly flexible with my schedule so I wanted to jump back into pet care! I’m available anytime in the morning during weekdays. I have 3 beautiful kitties and have transformed my house into a perfect pet play area and planty jungle for enough stimulation for even the most rambunctious pets!
“Alissa is the best! She is very communicative and punctual. Alissa is easy going and relaxed. She does a great job working with our dog. He is a rescue and is very anxious around new people. Alissa was very patient and took the time to really build his trust. Now he loves her. We so appreciate Alissa!”
“Maddie was great meeting my pups for the first time and giving them excellent care and snuggles in my home. My trip was a bit last minute and the weather was a concern for a bit but Maddie was communicative the whole time. I will definitely book her again! Thanks so much for making leaving the pups stress free Maddie!”
About: I grew up with 7 cats and 1 dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very clean, responsible, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs and personality. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions to make sure your pet gets the same love and routine they’re used to while you’re away. I work Tuesdays, Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday 8:30-3:30. I am available anytime after that! And am willing to spend the night at the house to care for your animal before I go into work I am very clean and respectful of every home I enter, and I always make sure to leave the space looking as good as or better than when I arrived. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure they have a calm, clean, and safe environment while in my care. I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young from my own to neighbors. I gained a lot of experience working in an animal hospital with many different dogs big and small. From puppies to senior citizens I am so happy to play/chill and do whatever is best for the dog. I am experienced in administering medication when needed. I am so excited to get some pet love so I will make as much work around my schedule as possible! I am regularly available Monday/Wednesday/Friday before 11am and after 2pm, Tuesday/Thursday after 11am, and flexible in weekends. Feel free to reach out even if it may not fit with my availability, I am happy to try and make things work! I always keep things clean, like how I would want to leave my pet in my own house. All pets will get so much love and treats if allowed.😉 Before leaving, I will always make sure water bowls are full and doors are locked!
“Natalie is a fantastic House and Dog Sitter! She is exuberant about her job and loves dogs. We are so happy about her work with our two Frenchtons who are both eight years old. Our house looked great upon our return from the weekend. Thank you, Natalie!”
“Phoebe was absolutely wonderful with Maverick! She gave him so much care and attention, and it was clear he was comfortable and happy the whole time.. even during the storm where he gets super anxious lol. She kept me updated, was reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of when I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, I'd highly recommend her!”
About: I enjoy taking active dogs for long walks & runs! No issue providing meds & special attention for older fellas/ladies. I have sat for cats for extended stays as well. Happy to do so again! I work remote 3-5 days a week so I can take breaks to walk your dogs or give them a potty break a few times per day, including midday. I currently have no pets at home, however I grew up with 2-3 dogs and a cat for 18 years. I'll love taking your dog for long walks/runs if they need it! I am happy to care for special needs animals or those who require medications at each meal. Just send me your instructions and I'll treat them as you would! I am open to sitting cats, but would consider myself a dog person.
About: I am an experienced dog sitter, walker and owner. I moved to North Carolina from Massachusetts in January and miss my family dog terribly! I’m a newly certified Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with lots of availability while I wait for my insurance credentialing to wrap up. My background in applied behavior analysis has given me a strong foundation in understanding behavior, recognizing individual needs, and using positive reinforcement, skills I’d love to bring to caring for your pup! I’d also love to get my daily serotonin boost from spending time with your best canine friend! Whether your dog needs a walking buddy, some company during the day, or extra love and attention while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! Here is my availability: Sunday: I'm available in the morning until 1:30PM and then I'm available after 5PM Monday: All Day Tuesday: I'm available until 3:30 PM and then I'm available after 6:30 PM Wednesday: I'm available until 4PM Thursday: I'm available until 3:30 PM and then I'm available after 6:30 PM Friday: All Day Saturday: All Day My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, respect your dog’s individual needs and boundaries, and provide plenty of attention and affection. My background in applied behavior analysis has taught me to pay close attention to behavior and individual preferences. I’ll treat your home with respect and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have been pet sitting for about 5 years and have cared for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, fish, and lizards. I am very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I am also experienced in giving medications and following specific care instructions when needed. My mom is a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals and learned a lot about proper pet care and paying attention to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I am currently a college student at UNCW, and I have a 3+ hour break between every class, so I have plenty of free time to take pets out for a potty break throughout the day. I am also completely free most weekends, so I have lots of time to spend with pets! I usually care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a place they already know and feel comfortable in. I always make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime. I’ll also make sure the house is clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. Most importantly, I want both the pets and their owners to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands.
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Piper was awesome!!! Definitely 5 🌟 service and a customer for life!! She was so much help from booking the appointment, which I had messed up on the dates and she was able to fix it and still available to great communication and sending pics on taking great care and quality time with Jada! Definitely will be using her for future trips while we're gone! Thank you again!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Olivia was so sweet with my pooch. She met him for the first time today and he was instantly smitten with her. Normally, he sleeps away from the pet sitter because he's very attached to me and can't wait until I return home, but this time he wanted to be around Olivia and was snoozing by her the whole time she was taking care of him. She is a sweet young lady and too good care of my pooch. I would highly recommend Olivia for your petsitting needs.
Vikki was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we've left our animals with someone other than family. I had a sense of peace when I met Vikki right off the bat. She gave regular updates. I could tell the animals were very happy when we got home. I know we will be using her again. Highly recommend.
When we booked Stephanie she offered us a meet & greet, which of course went amazing! We instantly loved her as well as our dog, Cowboy! He is high energy and she could match that. Stephanie stayed overnight with our boy for 3 nights. It’s the peace in knowing that Cowboy had a companion to play and love on him while we were away. Stephanie went above and beyond and we have already set up another overnight stay with her!
Sara was so good! She took excellent care of Trawler. She also sent updates and pictures, which we very much appreciated. He warmed to her quickly and actually ate fairly normally, which is a huge compliment from him. We hope very much that she’s available next time we travel. We trust her completely, and she took great care of the house as well.
Raechel did a really good job with our boys. She stayed at our house and cared for our two golden retrievers ( one 4 years old and the other 6 months) for 3 nights. From the moment she walked in the house our boys loved her. She was very communicative leading up to watching them and sent good updates.
Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter. One of my dogs had injured his leg about a week prior to her caring for him, and she was incredibly adaptable and attentive in giving him his oral medication. She kept me at ease by sending pictures and promptly answering all of my questions. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.
Maddie was great meeting my pups for the first time and giving them excellent care and snuggles in my home. My trip was a bit last minute and the weather was a concern for a bit but Maddie was communicative the whole time. I will definitely book her again! Thanks so much for making leaving the pups stress free Maddie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kirkland is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $80 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 October 2026, there are 768 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
Tip: 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!
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
