“Maren is timely and went above and beyond helping with my mini lop bunny! I really appreciate her coming through during my first week postpartum as a new mom. I would highly recommend her! 🤗”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our old ladies & administering the insulin! I really appreciate your help &I'm so glad at least one of them warmed up to you &got some cuddles.”
“Logan is very communicative and responsive! She gives great and thorough daily updates and my kitties look like they are having a blast in the photos. Lots of action shots! No issues with medication administration either.”
“Alex was a great caretaker for my dogs while my family and I were gone for a night. He visited 4 times for at least 30 minutes each (as promised!) From the introduction meeting and the photo updates he sent, the dogs seemed to really like him. I was so relieved to have someone trustworthy in our home. He is a great guy!”
“Bailey was one of the best Rovers I've used! She cared for my cat over 1.5 weeks, provided detailed updates, great photos, and showed self-sufficiency/good judgement when I wasn't available. I would happily book again!”
About: I am passionate about the safety, happiness, and health of all animals. I have a dog of my own who is my entire world, and I have 10+ years of experience caring for friends and family pets. I grew up in Kirkland and love walking the areas many walking trails and routes. I would love to provide your pet with exercise and companionship. I live in downtown Kirkland and am able to do quick walks or check ins easily. I work as a teacher so afternoons are open for me, and summers I am available all the time! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work hard to create a calm, secure, and predictable environment—whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits. In your home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes at all times, and I stay aware of surroundings on walks to keep your pet safe—especially around other dogs, traffic, and busy areas. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and any triggers ahead of time (like reactivity on walks), so I can handle situations confidently and avoid unnecessary stress. You can also expect clear communication from me, with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“Natalia was great! She came out for a meet and greet before I booked with her. She was very sweet and patient with my cats as they can be a little skid-dish. Although she was not going to be watching my dog, she made a point to give him some love, too. She was very communicative, sent plenty of updates and pictures so I knew how everything was going. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future. So glad I found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals around my neighborhood and have had rescue dogs of my own. I love animals and will make yours feel right at home! My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays and can take care of your pet any time on weekends! Let me know what’s best for you:) I have a rescue dog of my own who is on the mellow side so she will most likely watch but not interact. I have a yard however it is not fenced, but I will use a gate to keep your dog in the yard.
“Cory continues to take careful and loving care of my puppy Scout, who can be a handful. I come home to a happy and tired puppy in the evenings. Cory does a great job of letting him run and burn off energy!!”
About: Hello there! My name is Nicole, and like many of you, I LOVE animals. Currently I live in downtown Kirkland and am open to new fluffy (or scaley) friends. I have watched pets inside my own and done visits. I am only open to boarding smaller, cat friendly dogs. :) I promise you that I will love and treat your pet with kindness and love. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your furry friends, and will send many photos and updates while you are away. I am currently looking to fill my free time with taking care of furry little friends. I live in Kirkland and do daily walks, and if your dog wants to come along, they are more than welcome! I live in a Condo in Kirkland, WA. I am happy to take dogs to dog parks (with permission) or to just a stroll around the neighborhood. I will send updates and photos whenever I see your pet!
About: Hello - I am Ra. I have loved animals all my life! But my love deepened when I become a puppy raiser for a future assistance dog during covid. His name is Felix (yellow lab). I picked him up when he was 2 months of age and he left for his former training from my care/home at the age of 14 months. One year of a strong bond, weekly/monthly training sessions, creating unique experiences for his professional development and many personal memorable moments later, it was time to say goodbye and it wasn’t an easy farewell. He left for his formal 6 month training to Oregon and in Dec 2022, I had the opportunity to say my final goodbye when he graduated and officially become an assistance service dog. It fills my heart to know that today he is an assistance dog to a lovely lady who he is his life long companion and through his service, he lives a purposeful life. 10 days before he left, I adopted Charlie (yellow lab), who confidently came into life through Felix. It was as if Felix knew I would need a companion of my own after his departure and wanted to leave me with a long term friend. Today Charlie is an extension of my love for Charlie himself and Felix - and Chase! (Chase is my 15 yr old yorkie who passed away last year peacefully in sleep, leaving us so grateful for his presence in my family’s life). Animals are remarkable creatures and they give us so much joy and ask for very little in return. I would love to give some joy back to your loved ones so let me take good care of your companions, they deserve all the love and care we can provide! [Note: the organization I volunteered with to become a puppy raiser for future assistance dog is called Dogs for Better Lives (DBL)] I'm currently working as a consultant, remotely. My schedule is very flexible and open to meet your schedule and service needs - send me a note! I will be taking care of your companion at your home based on your requirements and requirements of the individual pet as directed/needed. They will get lot of love, care and attention from me!
“Last minute request for extra visit and Junyi and Litian were so helpful in timely setup and response. Greatly appreciated! My cats are also notoriously wary of new people and they didn’t hide and even posed for some cute photos! Photos were detailed about the care and food needs of our cats. Thank you again!”
About: Hi! I’m Michelle, a lifelong dog lover living in Totem Lake, Kirkland. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and understand the love, care, and attention they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re away. Bilingual: English and Spanish. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I can be available to help. I will do my best to keep your dog’s routine consistent and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Safety and trust are very important to me. I follow your dog’s routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your dog as if they were my own.
“Joann was so fantastic. This was our first time having someone watch our dogs, and while initially we were reluctant to leave them, once we met Joann we knew our dogs would be in good hands! Highly recommend working with Joann, we certainly will again in the future.”
“Mike is very responsible sitter and help give love to MianMian as much as he can. We communicated well over the phone and he followed the instructions to take care of MianMian.”
About: Hi families, my name is Audrey! I have been working with dogs and cats professionally for about two years now, and I also have a dog of my own (age 10 years) that I grew up with! I work full time as a nanny and babysitter, so I have a lot of experience working with other people's dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I also currently work as a dog walker for two pups during the weekdays, and I'm confident in my ability to walk up to 2 dogs at a time. Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of a dog walker or a pet sitter - I'd love to connect! I am available for dog walking in the early mornings and occasionally in the evenings. I work part-time so I can be available for dog sitting in the evenings (weekends may work best!) I am friendly and trustworthy, and I love animals! I am easygoing and get along great with dogs and cats with friendly demeanors. Please feel free to get in touch!

Shannon and Jason are amazing! I had a required work meeting while my dog was having an allergic reaction that required supervision and Benadryl. They picked her up and watched her last minute making sure she was safe and healthy. I would recommend and trust them with Kazi again.
Billie did a fantastic job hanging out with our 15 week old puppy! She made sure she was fed and watered, got a walk in, some play time, and a lot of belly rubs! She sent great photos, which we always enjoy. We will certainly be asking Billie to drop in on our pup again.
Natalia did drop-in visits for our beloved dog for a week. We were nervous due to our dog’s advanced age and frailty. There was no need to worry. Natalia is pure magic. She took great care and she knew exactly what to do with this 15-year old senior dog. We came home to a happy pooch and are so grateful for Natalia’s care.
So glad we found Edie. Despite an uncertain welcome by my 3 standard poodles (especially the two youngest ones), she won them over and had my spirited 4 year old boy hugging her and other one laying at her feet. She even spent time with my 20 year old kitty who mostly sleeps these days. Edie knows her way around animals and her comfort level was obviously communicated to my four legged children. Thank you, Edie!
Eric is a great person and one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had. My dog and cats loved him. He is very gentle & caring. My pets warmed up to him very quickly. He did a wonderful job caring for my senior dog and young cats. I went on a business trip for several days and was concerned about leaving my senior dog at home with the cats but Eric did a wonderful job. So I came back to a happy, wagging tale. Eric was on time for the visits, took the time to play with the cats, give them love and attention, and sent me detailed notes with lots of pictures. He even reported on how they were eating their food! I’m so glad I found Eric and I can trust him with my pets whenever I need!
Alex was a great caretaker for my dogs while my family and I were gone for a night. He visited 4 times for at least 30 minutes each (as promised!) From the introduction meeting and the photo updates he sent, the dogs seemed to really like him. I was so relieved to have someone trustworthy in our home. He is a great guy!
