“Rosie loves staying with Yen and Terry! They have a couple of cute dogs of their own and she gets a ton of play time and attention. While she's there, they always send the cutest pictures of her, which makes us feel great about leaving her with them.”
“Lauren was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel so comfortable. Lauren provided pictures everyday which definitely showed off how much fun my dog was having. The fact she provides pick up and drop off made everything even better! We will definitely be coming back to Lauren for future stays.”
About: Hi, I’m Star! ⭐️ I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping out with friends’ pets when needed. I know every animal has a different personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happy. Whether that’s walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a pet owner myself. For walks or drop-ins, I’m available any day of the week, with morning availability on weekdays and a flexible schedule on weekends. I currently accept shorter housesitting stays and am happy to discuss longer bookings on a case-by-case basis. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, medications, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine.

“Elena and her family took wonderful care of my husky! They were so excited to have her for a multi-day stay. Elena communicated so well and even sent us some photos and updates during the stay.

About: I’ve always loved dogs for as long as I can remember. And I have a 2 year old golden retriever, named Honey, and raising him from a puppy to now has been the most rewarding experience. He loves to make new friends!! We live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with a large park just 1 block away. We go on 4-5 walks per day and we’d love to have your pup join us! I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible during the week. And on the weekends, I can make myself available as well for walks, play time drop ins, boarding, etc. I can guarantee your pet will receive so much care and attention. Please reach out with your specific needs and details for your pet so I can be aware!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Kepler had such a wonderful time with Joyce and her lovely pup Dublin. Kepler enjoys their huge backyard and night time company. He enjoys saying goodnight to everyone and sleeping in the hallway. Joyce has a full fenced backyard and allows the dogs to spend time inside & outside like they would at home.
I cannot express enough how amazing the care for my pets was. I left both my dog and my cat with Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang. In the past, we've had difficult experiences with other sitters; my dog has anxiety and has had stress induced colitis from previous people he has stayed with. My cat gets very stressed too and will refuse to eat or drink. Yun-Chun and Ao-Chang were incredibly kind, attentive, and patient with my pets and both my dog and my cat came back EXTREMELY well cared for. They even got my cat to eat, which has been impossible for other sitters!! My dog had a blast in their backyard and came home with the biggest smile on his face. I will absolutely be booking again and can't recommend these caregivers enough. Thank you for taking such good care of my pets!!
Yen and Terry were fantastic caregivers for our dog! They were available with only 24 hours’ notice, which was incredibly helpful. They were very communicative throughout his stay and sent us lots of photos and videos. Most importantly, our dog was happy and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with Yen and Terry again!
Marina, Bret and Georgia took such great care of Bronny. They made sure to learn all important details about him, stayed on top of his food and medication schedule, and accommodated a few special requests to keep him comfortable. We loved getting daily photo updates too. We’re so grateful for them and would trust them with Bronny again. Highly recommend!
Cindy and her family were great sitters! Our dog had a good time, and there were many opportunities for her to interact with other dogs in safe environments. I received many informative updates that showed how well my dog was doing, and I could see she was content and having a good time. I can't recommend Cindy highly enough and I won't hesitate to look for her availability to care for my dog again the next time I travel.
Frankie had a wonderful time staying with Kellie while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable knowing she was safe and in good hands while I was gone. Knowing she had a friend to play with and a family to love on in my absence made leaving much easier. Thank you Kellie!
We were delighted with the care that JC and Anh gave our dog Abby. They were very thorough about getting to meet Abby and were committed to making sure she would do well with them and their other "guests". Everything went really well, and they sent updates and pictures daily. It looks like Abby had as good a vacation as we did!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kirkland on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,597 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.
