“This is the first time we used Shana. She responded on very short notice to take care of our senior cat and we could not have been more pleased with the excellent care she provided to our cat. We will be using Shana in the future and would highly recommend her to care for your pet too.”
“Out of all the cat sitters I have tried (on or off Rover), Leelay stands above all with her genuine love for any cats. I have two cats who each have different views when it comes to a stranger caring for them. Leelay took her time to understand and bond with each of them in a way where I believe my cats forgot about my disappearance. When I came back home, my cats acted like nothing had happened which we all know is probably the best scenario for fidgety cats. Thank you Leelay for all you have done!!”
“Ni took great care of my cat! She is always on time very nice and gentle with my cat, and also playing with her a lot. So many lovely pictures and videos taken and sent to us, really appreciate everything!”
“My cats love Rebekah! She has been a great! I super appreciate the care she takes to making sure my cats are comfortable while I’m out of town. I am happy to book her again and also recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors and friends have always come to me for caring for their dogs while they are away. I have a part time job currently so I am available for walking or drop in visits during days and/or hours I am not working that job. I am experienced with walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also very comfortable and trustworthy to go into your home to take care of your dog while you are away.
“Alejandro was wonderful with Tiago! Alejandro is super responsible and took lots of adorable pictures of Tiago during his drop ins. Tiago was immediately comfortable with him and loves having his daily visits from his new best bud.”
“Jessica was awesome with our two cats while we were away for vacation. She gave regular updates and followed all our instructions. We came back to happy cats and a well taken care of space. We’d be happy to book her again!”
“Allie was an awesome cat sitter for the weekend i was away. My younger cat, Mylo, even made friends with her, which is amazing because he’s usually nervous with new people. I came home to happy cats and a tidy home, and I’d gladly book her again.”
“Caroline went above and beyond—I can’t recommend her enough! This was my first time leaving my two cats with someone who wasn’t a friend or family member, so I was understandably nervous. Caroline immediately put my mind at ease with thorough daily reports and plenty of great photos, which reassured me that my boys were safe and well cared for. She followed my checklist perfectly and even went beyond it, doing thoughtful extras I didn’t ask for, like taking out the garbage. Thank you again, Caroline! We’ll definitely be booking again 😊”
“Brittany was amazing with our two kittens! They really enjoyed playing with her, and she was very attentive to all of the care details I left. In addition to the check-in and play time, she also scooped the litter box for us, which was very nice of her. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”
About: I am passionate about the safety, happiness, and health of all animals. I have a dog of my own who is my entire world, and I have 10+ years of experience caring for friends and family pets. I grew up in Kirkland and love walking the areas many walking trails and routes. I would love to provide your pet with exercise and companionship. I live in downtown Kirkland and am able to do quick walks or check ins easily. I work as a teacher so afternoons are open for me, and summers I am available all the time! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work hard to create a calm, secure, and predictable environment—whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits. In your home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes at all times, and I stay aware of surroundings on walks to keep your pet safe—especially around other dogs, traffic, and busy areas. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and any triggers ahead of time (like reactivity on walks), so I can handle situations confidently and avoid unnecessary stress. You can also expect clear communication from me, with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Hailey looked after our two cats while we were gone for 10 days. She was great, both during the meet up before we left and during the time we were away. On time, caring and very responsive. We are glad we have found someone reliable to take care of our furry family members while we are away.”
“Sandra is such a sweetheart! She was great during the meet and greet, asked lots of questions and approached our cats gently - the more outgoing of our two kitties even trusted her for some belly rubs! While we were away, she was very communicative, and we felt confident our boys were in good hands. She did a great job and we would happily trust her to care for them again next time!”
“Eric is a great person and one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. My dog and cats loved him. He is very gentle & caring. My pets warmed up to him very quickly. He did a wonderful job caring for my senior dog and young cats. I went on a business trip for several days and was concerned about leaving my senior dog at home with the cats but Eric did a wonderful job. So I came back to a happy, wagging tale. Eric was on time for the visits, took the time to play with the cats, give them love and attention, and sent me detailed notes with lots of pictures. He even reported on how they were eating their food! I’m so glad I found Eric and I can trust him with my pets whenever I need!”
“Nicole has such a beautiful spirit and Teddy immediately took to her. We felt comfortable leaving Teddy in her hands and to having her in our home . Nicole kept us informed every step of the way sending us text and pictures I especially loved the meet and greet. I had initially scheduled with another person fir overnight but web didn’t have peace due to fact the host a lot dogs and I had a puppy. Therefore changing from a drop in to Nicole. Was the best decision She followed directions well and was not rigid . She went a little over to walk him. I only wish there was an option to tipi on the app after completion of service . I would definitely hire her again as she worked well with Teddy.and the service outstanding . This is my first time to this app and The only advice is I would leave a tip in the bone since there is no where on the App you can do that.”
About: I cannot overstate how much I love dogs. Truly. :) I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my little guy Jackson at 12 years old. He was my best friend, adventure buddy, and shadow...and while I’m not quite ready for another pup of my own yet, I am so excited to love on yours. ✨ What I’m Like as a Sitter I’m super friendly, clean, reliable, and full of energy. Whether your dog wants long walks, couch hangs, or constant fetch, I’m here for it. I have a very flexible schedule and can do daytime visits, evenings, or overnights depending on what your pup needs. 💛 What You Can Expect Lots of love, attention, and positive energy Clear communication + frequent photo updates (I am pretty good with photos ☺️) A safe, calm, and fun presence for your dog Someone who treats your dog like their own Solid community references (I’ve lived here a while!) 🐶 Why I Do This Honestly, I just love being around dogs. They bring out the best in me. After losing Jackson, I realized how much joy I get from caring for dogs — being outside with them, adventuring, playing, or just hanging out. Rover is a way for me to stay connected to that joy while helping other dog parents out. 🤍 Can’t Wait to Meet Your Pup I’d love to meet you and your dog soon! Let me know what they love, what they need, and how I can make their time with me the best. I have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits in easily. I love getting outside and taking breaks throughout the day, and having a dog with me just makes everything better. I can adjust to whatever routine your pup is used to - mornings, mid-day, or evenings. I follow your dog’s normal routine closely — meals, walks, playtime, and any house rules. I’m clean, respectful, and very communicative, and I’ll send plenty of photo updates. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and totally at home.
“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Kirkland is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
My cats and I had a fantastic experience with Natalia and would absolutely book with her again! She checked in on our two kitties for almost a week that included the July 4th holiday weekend, and made our trip stress-free. She worked from brief instruction I sent and asked thoughtful questions when needed, and handled everything perfectly. She went above and beyond and it was clear she paid attention to detail and treated our home with respect. She also took the time to interact with the cats and that was a game changer when we got home (our cats usually need a day to feel normal when we return, but her daily play with them and routine made the return home that much more happy for the cats, if that makes sense. It was amazing seeing Mars comfortable enough to play and even show his belly!! Her communication was professional, updates were reassuring, and I felt confident our cats were in great hands. I highly recommend Natalia, me and the cats are both grateful!
Shana cared for our cats on a recent weekend trip and she was very communicative and responsible. Detailed updates and photos mean a lot to us, as we are newer pet owners, and Shana did an awesome job of this! She put us at ease. :) They are looking forward to seeing her next time!
I cannot recommend Jessilea and her daughter, Leandra, highly enough! They took exceptional care of our two cats, Saba and Uni, while we were away. Uni is extremely shy, has anxiety, and requires daily medication, which can be quite challenging. Jessilea and Leandra were incredibly patient, creative, and gentle in finding ways to earn his trust and successfully give him his medication every single day. That alone gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was obvious from the start that they truly love cats and are very knowledgeable about feline behavior. They didn’t just feed and care for them, they spent quality time playing with them, brushing them, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were in such caring and capable hands made all the difference. Jessilea and Leandra did a fantastic job, and we will absolutely hire them again. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced cat sitters!
Dahra took care of my cats for two days, showing up both days and taking care of all their needs and sending some photos. I'm not surprised my boy Goose made a new best friend immediately, but I'm very happy that my shy girl Gadget decided to be friendly by day 2! I'd happily book Dahra again, especially since it seems both of my cats approve.
Fanghua is an amazing pet sitter! She is reliable, caring, and very attentive. She took great care of my pet and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Ning is a fantastic pet sitter! She took excellent care of Mocha and followed all instructions perfectly. She is communicative, reliable, and has a wonderful way with animals. I felt completely at ease leaving Mocha in her care and will definitely book with her again.
Teresa watched my two cats for two weeks while I was out of the country and was wonderful. She actually spent time with them rather than just doing food-and-litter visits, and sent so many photos throughout. It made being that far from home much easier. She's incredibly easy to work with and went out of her way to water my plants and bring in my mail, even though neither was part of the service. Highly recommend. I'll absolutely book her again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
