About: I have a big heart for taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Even special needs dogs. (I have one that has seizures). If your dog needs a little training I will be happy to help. I am good with grooming. Prayers forbid I should need to use it but i am good with first aid too. I once was a CNA and was trained in CPR too. I let the licence go because I realized I wanted take care of animals, mostly dogs, not humans. I want to follow my heart and feel happy with my life. Dogs are special creatures and should be treated as such. I will even do vet trips for you if needed. I am available almost every day all day except the rare doctor appointment days.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 4 and I’ve always been connected to them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats 7 years ago. I love all animals and give them consistent attention and affection when I am caring for them. I also take care to follow any instructions given and needs the animal may have. I am a fabulosa communicator and always send daily check ins! I also have several references I can share along with the reviews here. I make my own schedule and work around 8 hours per week so I am open for animals who need a lot of attention and care and flexible with last minute needs. I care for pets in my clients homes (or mine) according to their needs and specifications. I also treat pets like family so animals with anxiety or higher needs do very well with me.
About: I have been caring for animals for 30 years, starting with my own cats. Most recently I have been petsitting through trustedhousesitters, and I have completed 23 sits in seven different countries over six years. I have cared for dogs ranging from Chihuahua to Pit Bull Terrier, cats from Sphynx to Maine Coon. I petsat a blind and deaf puggle, foster cats that needed medication and strict dietary needs, and many more. I have petsat five dogs on a ranch in Montana for ten weeks during the winter, took care of eight dogs and cats plus street dogs and cats in Cozumel, Mexico, and four show English Cocker Spaniels in Iceland. From my extensive experience I am confident in my ability to care for any and all breeds of cats and dogs. I also love their companionship, cuddles, and purrs! Taking care of pets while I am home in Alabama or while I am traveling is the perfect fit for my seasonal lifestyle. I work temporary events all over the country and in between jobs I travel internationally and hike long trails. I love to visit and explore new places and having a ‘homebase’ and a built in friend (your precious pet) is the best way to have those new experiences. I find that with my solitary wandering lifestyle I miss the companionship of a pet so there are times when I need the affection of animals and receive their unconditional love as well! My intention is to care for pets just as the family does. After going over all the details with the clients about feeding times, walks, litterbox cleaning, etc. I follow their routines in order to stay consistent for the pet and reduce their potential anxiety due to the family's absence.

About: I have grown up around friends, family, and neighbors that have had dogs. I have taken care of their sweet babies while they were away on vacation or out of town. I have also given medicine to dogs before, so I am happy to provide you with ease if your fur baby needs to take meds. Overall I love to love on these precious babies and make them feel loved. As a cat owner, I am well experienced with taking care of pets. I work a full time 9-5, but will have plenty of time in the afternoon to love on your baby. I am free most weekends for your baby to either stay with me or to go check on them while you are away. I have an open home with plenty of room for your baby to run around. I also understand that some pets do better in an environment they recognize, so I am happy to sit with your baby and play their favorite games. And yes, a belly rub is an absolute must! I am also experienced with giving pets medicine, I am comfortable with providing that as well.

“Anthony was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior Golden Retriever! He went above and beyond to make sure our sweet boy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He took him on walks, gave him extra attention, and truly treated him like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Anthony was thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with our dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him! We are so grateful for everything Anthony did and will absolutely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their pets! ❤️🐾”
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs since I was 14. In 2014-2017 I owned my own dog walking business and took care of 8 dogs in their homes a week. I enjoy helping others and hanging around fur babies! I am a mom of 2, a college student and I work part time. I commute back and forth often and have plenty of time to stop by and give your fur baby the attention it needs. My 12 year old pit bull is well taken care of, she is walked daily and has a large yard to play in. She loves being spoiled.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 630 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.

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.
