About: I am reliable, responsible, and I of course love dogs! My family feels lucky to be the welcoming home that our friends and family put their trust in when they need a place for their dogs to stay while they're on vacation! I have fostered 20+ dogs (including puppies and adult dogs) since 2020 and I have 2 small dogs of my own. Furry visitors in my home typically join the pack quickly and feel right at home. I have a fenced in back yard. I completed an online Dog and Cat first aid class throught the American Red Cross. I work from home so the pups at my house like to snuggle up next to my desk. I am able to take breaks frequently for doggie potty breaks. I like to bring the dogs for walks around the block in the morning and evening. I have a fenced in yard and two small, friendly dogs for your dog to play with. I'd love to hear what your dog's normal routine looks like so that I can make them feel as comfortable as possible in my home.

“Camille responded to my request within the hour and was able to come for a first time, last minute, dog walk when the dog walker I had lined up cancelled. Judging by the smile on my pups face in the photos she sent, I’d say she took good care of him. Thank you Camille!”

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

About: i’m going into my second year of college pursuing a degree in science and mathematics. my goal is to have a career in wildlife rehabilitation or veterinary care. i also have experience within EMS & firefighting as i’ve been a volunteer since 16. i’ve always loved animals of any kind and have been in aw by my own pets. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but currently live with only my senior cat (i brought her along with me for college). shes very specific but i make sure to keep up on her needs and do whatever i can for my baby. i live in a smaller sized apartment so I don’t currently have my dogs living with me, but since being away i miss being around them. soon i will be an intern at a zoo for animal care so i’m really looking forward to this opportunity! i love looking after family and friends pets, everytime I just feel as joyous as can be. I would love to start taking care of more pets within my community and gain more experience! __________________________________________ little side note: i allow my pets on my bed and couch with me all the time, just for some reason I wasn’t sure how to edit that off my profile lol so just know your pet is more than welcome 👌 i’m currently on summer break working a part time job, but have a flexible schedule. i like to go outside to parks, find good places to hike, and staying active. with bookings i will make sure to keep myself available or work with your schedule, whether that be for mornings, evenings, or even overnight. i’m also available the weekends. once school begins i will still be able to remain flexible. my senior cat sofia is specific with her needs, whether that’s the food she eats, the places she sleeps, or the litter i get. whatever her needs may be, whether she likes her hard food or gets sick of and only wants wet food, i make sure to listen. when she’s having a stomach ache or under the weather, i’m alerted and get her the best care i can provide. when it comes to family or friends animals like their dogs i like to spend a lot of time with them outside, taking them to parks, and even to hike depending on the kind of dog and their energy level. for clients i’ll ensure to keep them updated on their pets and if their were special instructions on how they want their pet to be treated i will do my best to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals while growing up and was responsible for the care of them very often. I’ve had and taken care of dozens of different breeds of dogs including Bichons, Pitbulls, Great Pyrenees, Mastiffs, Hounds and many more. I am capable of training puppies, giving medications, etc. I am working part-time so I will have plenty of time to be with your dog! I am extremely flexible with my schedule and can even accept most last minute scheduling’s. I believe safety is the most important part of dog sitting. Along with love and care of course! Routines and rules will be followed directly as given to ensure as much consistency as possible for the pup!

“After meeting Mariana, initially we knew we wanted to hire her to help us both in the care of our dog and behavior training to help eliminate some bad habits that were formed as a puppy before he got any older. We knew what needed correcting, but we were struggling to employ specific strategies that would actually help us enjoy our dog more normally. His fearful and bossy ways were confusing to us because he was often a very loving dog and his behaviors seemed contradictory. Upon meeting Mariana and going on this training walk, I was able to watch how she interacted with Sparrow and see very quickly that she was reading his very subtle body language and redirecting or correcting his behaviors before they escalated. Actually understanding WHAT Sparrow was expressing was a game-changer. We left the walk feeling that it might take some work, but understanding animal behavior is crucial to correcting it and it gave us the confidence to feel we could indeed improve Sparrow's manners and eliminate his bad habits. Mariana was very loving to Sparrow and was very good at teaching us what she knows. She displays a genuine sense of gentle compassion towards animals and people, but she also has a firm confidence and a wealth of knowledge about animals!”

Our experience was amazing! Kayla took such great care of our puppy Mila. She kept us updated, sent adorable pictures, and made sure Mila got her walks and attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. This was our first time having someone else care for Mila, and she truly exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely trust her again and will definitely be booking with her in the future. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kirkland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
