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.
“Thank you for keeping me updated during your visits. We appreciate the time you took for the meet and greet, and for your warm and friendly demeanor towards Chief. You were so responsive to our questions and messages 😁”
About: Many years of being a pet owner as well as caregiver. Familiar with different pet “ personalities “ and needs! From puppies to seniors, active high energy to couch potato! Recently retired and now a homebody with time to offer this service to the community. Lots of together time for our pet, walking, playing, and snuggling! I also share my home with a sweet, lovable, easy going little Havanese dog, who enjoys, people, dogs, cats, even enjoys my neighbors pet ducks! There is fenced front deck for outside chilling and a partial fenced yard for romping around! Many fields and areas to explore for walks and outings. The home is extremely dog friendly as there is a doggy bed in just about every room with toys and treats!
About: I have a deep love for animals, which makes me an excellent choice for house sitting, dropping in, or walking your dog. My passion for animals drives me to provide the best care possible, ensuring that your pets feel loved and safe while you’re away. I understand their needs and am committed to maintaining their routines, providing plenty of exercise, and giving them the attention they deserve. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection that I would give my own. I also have experience in other/exotic animal care as I am a rat mom! I’m comfortable providing care for any rodent or other animals besides dog/cat! I work full time, 8-4 M,TH, F, and 12-8 on Tuesdays & 10-6 Wednesdays. I have no problem staying/house sitting throughout my work week. No issues with stopping by before or after work, or doing overnights! And weekends I’m free! No need to worry about my pets, my partner will be able to care for them while I care for yours! I respect you, your fur baby & your home. I’d keep your home clean and safe if I were stopping in/doing over nights. I wouldn't just stop in, I’d provide play time, enrichment, lots of pets & snuggles, and love! When house sitting I am also comfortable with making sure your home stays clean/tidy & doing any other daily tasks such as plant watering, taking trash out, or any other small requests while I stay with your pet!
About: I have several years of experience with my adorable pup and lots of others! I would love to get to know your dog!! :) :) I’m an online student with pretty much open availability! Shoot me a message and we can figure out how to best take care of you and your pups/cats :) I am extremely careful caring for pets, as I would want and expect for anyone to do for my dog as well. Nothing is ever left out for my pet to get into, doors/windows/etc are always shut, yard is fenced in and my dog is always leashed when I am with him, unless he is in our fenced in yard.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. All of my family and friends have relied in me to care of their pets when they are gone. I have 1 dog of my own and know how important it is to tailor to every dogs needs individually! We also had a senior pup who sadly passed away so I am very familiar to tailoring to senior pups and younger pups! I care for every dog like they are my own! I do work full time so I am available from 3:30pm on. After work hours I am fully dedicated to your pet and what their needs are! I have a loving 4 year old treeing walker coonhound that I have had since a pup. We also had a senior dog so I am very knowledgeable on all stages of life! I care for every pet like my own so they will be in the best of hands!
“Anna was an absolutely wonderful sitter! She came twice a day and provided our 6 cats with first-rate care and companionship. She communicated extremely well and our cats, who are not used to strangers, all warmed up to her very quickly. That is a testament to how good she is! We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life. I have a strong love for them and all animals, I always have taken care of my own like bathing them and feeding them and I’m great at taking care of other dogs as well. Pet care is something i’ve always been interested in and I always will make time for it. If people need me to take care of their animal then I will be there. I have a small fenced in part in my yard and I have a small dog already at my house. I feed my dog, take my dog out, and play outside with her with her ball in the fenced in area. If I’m at the pet owner’s home, I will do the same: take the pet(s) out, play with them, feed them, give them water, and whatever else they will ask me to do.
“Thomas was wonderful with our two kitties. He checked in on them daily and provided us with pictures and updates that were so appreciated. He truly has a gift with our four legged friends!”
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
We highly recommend Mara! Her visits were full of joy and energy, and each day that passed I could just see, in the cute photos that she’d send us regularly, that our cat was drawing closer and closer to her. He was very content and happy and those are big ‘wins’ for traveling cat parents. We will definitely reach out to Mara again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kirkland is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $27 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 380 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
