“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!”
“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.”
“I was looking for help with my cats on very short notice--when I contacted SJ not only did she message right back but she also gave me a call to talk about my cats and what I was looking for. She took great care of them while they boarded with her--I think they had a lovely vacation complete with treats, cuddles and some very excellent bird and squirrel watching. Thank you SJ!”

I will definitely come back to you. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie💕”

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!
Our Jasper had a lovely time staying with Joyce! During our meet & greet, I knew Joyce was a great fit for what we needed. She was super communicative, sent tons of pictures, asked great questions to make sure Jasper was comfortable and happy. He came home in great spirits! Thank you Joyce! Excited to bring Jasper over again soon :)
She is knowledgeable, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She was flexible with a last-minute pickup change when I had to take my child to urgent care, which I greatly appreciated. Cho-Cho was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend her for any dog-sitting needs.
Yen & Terry took such good care of our giant 9mo puppy! They have put a lot of effort into creating an awesome space for the dogs to play and relax. We were nervous with this being our first dropoff but were put right at ease when pictures started coming in. They kept us updated the whole time and stayed in constant contact. I can't recommend them enough and hope we get to book with them again!
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!
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.

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.
91% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
