“Emily and Patrick were absolutely incredible with Isla! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Their dog, Winter, got along so well with Isla, and it was heartwarming to see how much fun they had together. They went above and beyond to make sure Isla was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We also want to give a big thank you to their son, who was so sweet and played with Isla! Their patience and attentiveness truly made a difference, and we couldn’t be happier with their boarding services. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“Piotr had a great time staying with Liz! She is very detail oriented when asking questions about our furbaby. Anything that could help her get to know him and aide her in giving him the best care tailored to him. She even sent us pictures and updates on what they were up to, which I genuinely appreciated. She also has a plethora of different toys and stimuli to challenge him mentally as well. He came home with two new tricks, shake/high five AND hide and seek with a stuffed ball! I can't wait to keep working with the foundation she was able to lay with him. Thank you for treating our little boi so well, I look forward to having you watch either or both our pups in the future.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience leaving my small dog with Fiona for three days. From our initial meeting, they showed genuine understanding of the special attention little dogs need. Fiona created a comfortable, safe environment that immediately put my normally anxious pup at ease. They thoughtfully maintained my dog's familiar routine—from specific feeding times to favorite walking routes—which made all the difference in keeping stress levels low. Communication was excellent throughout the stay. I received daily updates with photos showing my happy dog enjoying playtime, and cuddles. It was clear my little one was receiving plenty of attention and affection. What impressed me most was Fiona's attention to detail—they noticed my dog's preference for certain sleeping spots, and adapted accordingly. Upon return, I found my dog relaxed, and clearly content. For such a short stay, the level of care provided was exceptional. I highly recommend this sitter to anyone with a dog needing personalized, attentive care. The peace of mind I enjoyed during my trip was worth every penny!”
“Tunyi's was so far the best to board our dog and we have tried multiple dogsitters near us. She shared so many videos and pictures of our dog even without us requesting. Our dog seemed happy, comfortable and well taken care of. We will definitely consider Tunyi to watch our dog should we need help again in the future.”
“Darlayna and Damon did an amazing job watching sunny for a weekend. I loved the photo updates they sent, and they truly showed a sincere interest in being with her during her stay. I will use them again to watch sunny!”
“Karina is an amazing sitter, she was clear and communicative while watching my golden retriever and always would reach out if anything. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Bodhi has the BEST time with Ketaki. I could not ask for better care. She is absolutely amazing-taking Bodhi for regular walks, giving him so much love and sending me great updates all the time! Your pup would be lucky to stay with her! 🩷🩷🩷”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Lorena and Andres were amazing again! They took such great care of our blind and deaf senior dog with multiple updates and even let him sleep in the their bed at night to make him feel comfortable. We have peace of mind when he's there. Highly recommend.”
“Masumi and her family took excellent care of my mini-Bernedoodle, EmmyLou, while I was away for 3 weeks. She sent videos and photographs daily. It was obvious that EmmyLou enjoyed her daily walks, cuddles with the family, and playing with their dog, Apple. I would highly recommend Masumi and will definitely leave EmmyLou with her again!”
“Gaby provided top care for our little Canela, she was very communicative during the process, and I can tell Canela had a great time. I will definitely re-book soon :) Thanks Gaby!”
“Dmytro, was punctual in responding to me needing a booking last minute. He carved out time to come meet my dog before accepting the booking. He communicated with me via pictures and messages when I was gone which is always a joy. Will definitely use again and recommend.”
“Serene and Peter are a very caring and attentive couple of dog livers. They are also very accommodating. They will take photos of your dog that you will want to hang up on the wall.”
“Isabella was so great with CC! She was great to communicate with, pick up and drop off was super easy, and I got back a very tired dog! I would love to have CC stay with her again.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog, Uno. She handled introductions between Uno and her own dog really well. She updated me with photos, and Uno looked like he was having a great time. It was clear he was in good hands and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.”
“Oakley absolutely loves coming to your house! He starts going crazy as soon as we turn off Bothell Way! He can’t get out of the car fast enough! Thank you both so much!”
“Our Sophie didn't have much experience staying with non-family members but Joyce was so good with her and very patient, I didn't worry. We really appreciated Joyce helping Sophie feel safe and secure at her house while we were away.”
“Nathan was an awesome Rover. He was easy to communicate and flexible for drop off and pick up. Hazel enjoyed her visit! Nathan provided great updates and photos that showed Hazel having a great time. Would highly recommend.”

Sandra will make your dog feel like they are at the best summer camp :) She is our go-to sitter for everything… This is the one place where our dog will run out of the car straight into her house without looking back at us. You can trust your pet will be apart of the family!
Fantastic boarding stay! My pup Ellie (3yo golden) stayed for about a week and I had such great peace of mind knowing the care and individual attention Joann and her family gives to the dogs. They treat them like their own :) I greatly appreciate the easy communication as well, especially as I with dealing with flight delays getting home. Thanks for taking such great care of Ellie!!
Woape took wonderful care of my girls on short notice after I suddenly needed to travel over the long weekend. He was incredibly easy to work with and took them out to play at the dog park which was super appreciated. Absolutely no flags from me and I would recommend him as a sitter!
Laura has taken excellent care of my elderly Lucy several times now. I really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures as well as how diligently she follows our care instructions for all the multiple arthritis meds Lucy takes throughout each day. Highly recommend!
Sally was absolutely wonderful! She treated our dog like part of her own family, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was so well loved and cared for. We appreciated the updates and could tell our dog was happy and comfortable the entire stay. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed at the last minute, Sally graciously extended our dog’s stay without hesitation, which was such a huge help and took so much stress off our shoulders. We couldn’t be more grateful for her kindness and flexibility. We highly recommend Sally and would absolutely book with her again!
Ivett took such wonderful care of our dog, treating him just like her own! It gave us total peace of mind during our trip. Her house is also incredibly clean and safe and her dog, Chanel, was also incredibly friendly, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We would love to have Ivett watch our pup again in the future. Highly recommended!
We are so please with how Juan took care of our dog Hailey. He keeps excellent routines and very detailed oriented with everything that needs to be done to make sure that your pet is safe. He also communicates frequently and provides excellent information and pictures on how things are going. I would definitely recommend him and we are planning to use his help again shortly.
Megha was wonderful and always kept me updated about how my dog was doing. She went above and beyond caring for her and made sure she was eating daily. She has a very peaceful home and my dog came home well cared for. (I could definitely tell) super thankful! Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kirkland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirkland on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,594 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.
