“I was a little hesitant about Rover, but Fiona took away that anxiety the first time we met her! She loved our puppy as her own and took such great care of her. She also took pictures and videos when she could, and I really appreciated those. We will 1000000% book Fiona again in the future, I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you for taking care of Penny, she loved staying with you and your family.”
“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!”
“Sheena was fantastic! Finnbar stayed with her for over a month and seemed incredibly happy and comfortable there. She has a bulldog of her own, which made it feel like an especially good fit for him. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. I would absolutely trust Sheena with Finnbar again. :::”
“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”
“Robin and her family took such great care of Pika while I was on vacation! She was very responsive and sent lots of photos throughout the week. Her kids were so amazing with my dog and gave her so much love/attention. It was clear that Pika was being treated like part of the family and she looked so happy when I picked her up. I’d highly recommend Robin and I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Heather is amazing. Responds very fast and sends updates daily. Couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her watching my special needs dog. Will definitely book again.”
“Xiaomeng was an excellent babysitter for Cosmo! She was friendly, attentive, and ensured he was well cared for throughout his time with her. Cosmo had a great experience playing in her lovely backyard, which provided a safe and enjoyable environment. I appreciate her professionalism and the warm approach she had with him. I would highly recommend Xiaomeng for anyone looking for reliable and caring babysitting services!”
“Jiani provided attentive care for my cat while we were away for a week. My cat, Todie, stayed with Jiani at her place, and Todie is usually very shy and nervous in new places. With frequent photo updates from Jiani, I was able to tell that Todie grew comfortable in her care rather quickly, and it relieved much stress on my end. Jiani was very flexible with picking up Todie and dropping her back off, too, which made planning easy for me! I will absolutely rebook with Jiani in the future!”
“Wei-chien provided really good care to our pet -- I knew she was being treated well and felt cared for and that they were doing all they could to make her feel comfortable and to maintain safety. There was also great communication, very friendly and accommodating!”
“This was my first time booking through Rover and my experience with Lorena could not have been any better. She was thoughtful, responsive, proactive in sending daily updates and pictures. Lorena made us feel at ease leaving our sweet fur baby with a lovely family while we were away.”
“Our English Cream Golden Retriever (almost 6) stayed with Haiman for 24 days, and we couldn’t be happier with how well she cared for him. She took him on two walks every day, kept him comfortable, and treated him like her own. He loved being there and came home happy and relaxed. We’d rebook with her in a heartbeat. If you’re in east Seattle, we highly recommend her!”
“Rocky enjoyed his stay with Kathryn, her cavalier Nina, and her two kids. Kathryn sent artistic photos daily and had great communication and was flexible with the pickup. Recommend!”
“My dog was at Debbi’s for an extended weekend and I can highly recommend her! Levi enjoyed his time with her a lot and I can tell he was taken care of well. I would use Debbi’s service anytime again! ?”
“This is the third (fourth?) time my shy dog has stayed with SJ and she didn’t bat an eye when I departed. When I told her that my dog loves little bites of banana she assured me she wouldn’t miss this favorite morning routine. SJ will be your dog or animal’s best friend. 🩷”
“I really appreciate how Amy was kind and flexible enough to take my Goldie for 4 days with only a couple of days’ warning. I picked up a happy and tired doggy at the end of his vacation ?”
“As first time Rover users and newer dog owners we were glad to find someone as experienced as Kristen. Felt confident leaving our dog with her, and he had a great stay- even picked up some new skills! We would recommend her highly to friends.”
“Joann’s great and accommodating with Rocky and Truffle. She made them feel comfortable and welcome! They had so much fun with Joann’s dogs Krypto and Cleo, who were both very sweet and gentle. Thank you for taking care of them and we are looking forward to their next stay!”
“A wonderful experience. All the communication you could ask for. Very conscious of your dog's needs. My dog was able to play all day and tire himself out. After his visit he took a 3 hour nap. A very happy dog and owner.”

Jaana took wonderful care of our 2-year-old Goldendoodle! She kept us updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure he got plenty of exercise, including multiple trips to the park. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend Jaana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
We had a last minute college tour trip back east come together and Joyce was able to easily accommodate our plans. Both our dogs came home perfectly happy and settled back into the routines without a missed beat -- something we take to mean that their stay elsewhere has not been stressful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we will be having Fezzik and Marge hang out with Joyce again soon!
She was amazing to our little boy. She provided plenty of pictures, took him on regular walks during our boarding. On the day of drop off she was very attentive to our instructions and asked plenty of questions. All of this allowed me and my wife to enjoy our vacation with ease.
it's always great when you pick up your dog and there's nothing new or different, just the same happy dog, who spent some time with a friend for a bit and is happy to see you again. thanks Matthew and Irene for taking good care of our dog for us when we were out of town.
Ziyan and her family took such great care of our dog while we were out of town for 5 days. She seems highly skilled at managing several different breeds of dogs at once, which I appreciate. Our 7 year old labradoodle stayed there while she was also taking care of a young and energetic lab and our dog didn't seem intimidated at all. Same with her German Shepard, who was very gentle with our dog. I appreciated the frequent communication, including daily videos and photos and would not hesitate to board our dog with Ziyan again!
Louie had the best time with Marina, Bret and Georgia and I can tell he’s missing them and their wonderful backyard already! They sent daily updates, took him on walks, and gave him lots of love while I was gone! Thank you both so much!! Louie will definitely be back for another visit :)
Kelly is a fantastic dogsitter!! My little dog was in such great hands, and she got along so well with Kelly’s dog. Kelly expertly dealt with a couple issues of Piper getting adjusted, and continued to make Piper feel safe, secure, and loved. She is an absolute pro, and I would trust Kelly with Piper’s care any time, and would not hesitate to book her again. I also very much appreciated the many photos and updates Kelly sent while we were away. Thank you!!
Joanne was very reliable and took great care of our dog. She even made sure to treat a sore spot on her front foot by applying the medication ointment every day. Taro came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave her.
Robin & her boys are wonderful sitters! Our dog always looks forward to staying with them & comes home very happy. We can tell that he gets lots of love & snuggles which is what we look for when we need someone else to care for him. They’re always our first choice whenever we need a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kirkland is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,556 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Kirkland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kirkland home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
