“Liz took amazing care of our Labrador Tyson for a week! She was incredibly thoughtful and made every accommodation we could ask for and then some. She was so kind in her communications and sent a ton of photos while we were away. Tyson came home happy and healthy! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Our dog had a fantastic time with Debbie while we were away. She made sure our dog was well fed and had plenty of walks or exercise. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone with hypoallergenic dogs!”
“SJ is truly the best. She takes better care of our fur babies then we do and they are relaxed and happy to vein her company. Feels like leaving them with a family member.”
“Robin and her family were great with our dog and super easy to coordinate with. The bottomline question always seems to be: would we board with Robin again? Yes! We plan to.”
“Charmaine always takes such great care of our rambunctious girl, Freya :-) She’s so patient and kind, Freya LOVES going to her house every time! I got plenty of photos and updates about how and what she’s been doing during her visit :-)”
“Fiona is a fantastic sitter. Our Goldendoodle loves being at her home and feels very comfortable. We appreciate the photos, videos and daily updates. Thank you for being so attentive to our pup!”
“Odin absolutely loves his time with Lisa and she takes great care to read his cues and be super responsive to his needs. His time with Lisa is a true happy vacation full of cuddles, adventures, and a wonderful home away from home.”
“Tunyi was calm and wonderful with our dog. She made a special effort to encourage him to eat and sent many pictures and videos each day. Highly recommend!!”
“Diesel had a wonderful time with Karina and her lovely doggo. It was nice to know that he had a friend and family around him to keep him company. Karina sent regular photos and videos. Karina is great and we’ll definitely use her again. 🐶 🤗”
“Casey has truly changed how we feel about leaving our elderly dog in a sitters care. She provides a loving and safe home for our anxious old man to relax, reliably issues his many medications, keeps us updated with pictures and texts, and takes away our own anxiety that comes with leaving a pet for week+ travel. Petey absolutely loves Casey (and Ron!), and I could not recommend her more!”
“Isabella and Gui were the best hosts! Bobo truly had his own vacation in form of dog parks and couch snuggles. Your pup would be lucky to be cared by them!”
About: ⭐️ Get $20 off on your first booking with me! Use my code AISTEM74203. Hello! My name is Aistė (ice-tah) (she/her) and I am a small business owner and active dog walker in Capitol Hill. I'm a proud dog mom to Leila, a Blue Heeler/Jack Russel Terrier rescue. Leila and I are “Rock Star” certified by Flying Colors Canine Academy, a professional dog training school based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We enjoy exploring every neighborhood of Seattle by bike or foot and hiking trails on the weekends. I have taken care of various dogs, cats, and small animals of all abilities, special needs, shapes, and sizes for over 20 years. I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality, training together (if needed), and going on fun adventures locally. I am currently accepting dogs, cats, and other animals for boarding and house sitting services. My schedule is flexible throughout the week as I work remotely part-time from home in Capitol Hill. I am now accepting new clients for boarding and house sitting. I live near Volunteer Park and would love to help your pet get their energy out with long walks at local parks and playtime at your home or in my fenced backyard. I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals in various environments and feel deeply in tune to their needs. For house sitting, I would like to meet in person or virtually to discuss your pet's needs so all questions and concerns are addressed.
“Philip was exceptional at watching our puppy Charlie. While we were gone, he’d send us pictures of Charlie, my kids loved seeing him while we were gone over two weeks. He took him on walks, played with him and let him lounge on his couch together. Very last minute I asked if Philip would be okay administrating medications to our dog that he needed and he was very flexible and had no issues doing so. Our go to guy for future needs. So grateful for honest and kind people like Philip who will treat your pet as their own family member. Charlie is the happiest I’ve ever seen him, truly.”
“This is my best time leaving our Charlie with a complete stranger. I personally met Mana and liked her immediately. She seemed like a kind and gentle person, soft spoken and respectful. I was a bit afraid that Charlie might have little issues with her dog Iris. To my surprise they both got along well. Thank you Mana for updating and sending pictures and videos of Charlie. I will definitely come back to you. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie💕”
“This was our second time booking Ketaki for our dog and we cannot praise her enough! Our dog was so comfortable, loved, and well fed under her care. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and really treated our dog like he was her own!”
“Juan is the absolute best. He and Odee were fabulous companions for Looey while we were away. Looey made himself at home and Juan helped him work out some separation anxiety. Loo even went for a car ride and to the park. Juan is a great human and a kind soul, he would be a great sitter for any of your fur babies!! Thank you Juan we appreciate you so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
We've boarded Bubu with Yun-Chun several times now, and we couldn't be happier! Our little Bubu can be a bit of a shy girl, but Yun-Chun is always incredibly patient with her. She takes the time to sit with her, keep her company, and give her lots of pets. We highly recommend her!
We couldn’t be happier with Joyce. Our dog had an amazing time while we were away. He made new friends, had lots of space to play outside and was totally comfortable in the new environment . The regular updates we got from him, as well as the photos, put our minds completely at ease. Definitely recommend and will book again for our next trip!!!
This was Rue’s second overnight stay with Sandra and when we arrived on Friday evening for drop-off, Rue dragged me to the door in excitement to see her! It is such a relief to know Rue is happy and in safe hands with Sandra and we got lots of great photos + updates of her over the weekend too.
Thank you Melody for taking care of Lizzo! Melody was a great communicator and kept me up to date with Lizzo, noting when she vomited. Also was very good about phasing introducing her dog and making sure both dogs felt comfortable. Took time to review my detailed care instructions.
Leah took amazing care of our large pup! She brilliantly saved us from a last minute cancellation with our typical boarder. Within 48 hours we had completed a meet and greet and dropped our pup off for a two week stay. We were a bit nervous, but had no need to be, as Leah sent regular photo updates showing our pup being loved and cared for like one of her own family. Can’t say enough about how grateful we are to Leah and her family for taking such good care of Zeus while we were away for so long. Thank you!
Juan and Anh are the best hosts for your pets that you can expect. They take care of every single detail about their wellness and health. They also communicate with you regularly and the pictures sent are amazing. I would highly recommend them if you need help with your dog.
This is the second time We've asked Billy to look after Coco. Everyone in his family is very friendly and easy going! They took her for walks and sent us updates multiple times a day, we feel completely at ease leaving her with them. We would definitely ask them again!
Marina, Bret and Georgia took wonderful care of Bronny again. They kept up with his routine without missing a beat and sent photo updates that always made our day. They’re also incredibly responsive whenever we reach out. It’s such a relief knowing we have sitters we can count on for Bronny. Can’t recommend them enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirkland on Rover is $55 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Kirkland sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Kirkland landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kirkland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kirkland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kirkland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
