“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“James is an excellent cat sitter. Setting up the times for key pickup and drop off was hassle free. My cat who is typically on the shyer side was immediately friendly with James.”
“Anastasia was fantastic with my cat while I was away. Took care of food, water, litter, and was very prompt in communication and home visit times 😊 I had no worries while out of state!😄”
“Courtney is so helpful with my puppy, Claude. She’s extremely communicative and punctual, and my dog loves her. She went above and beyond what I expected and I feel that all my dogs needs were met. Claude can’t wait to see Courtney again 🐶”
“Shayna is AMAZING with our Great Dane and two cats! Our dog is almost double the size of her and she handles him with such great care! Would highly recommend her services!”
“Jacob is a fantastic sitter! I have to do a last minute booking and he was very flexible to help. He did a great job watching my two young cats for a couple of days. He was on time, sent me great pictures and detailed notes. My cats warmed up to him quickly since he is a sweet person. I can trust Jacob with my cats and home…Thank you Jacob!”
“Ani was a really great sitter for our two dogs when we were away on a trip for a few days! She’s super friendly and the pups loved her. She provided lots of pics and a summary of each of her visits, and was super flexible for us when plans changed, definitely wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again next time we are out of town!”
About: I love dogs. There are no more loving and positive creatures on this earth and I strive to return the love they show right back to them. Although I have no professional dog care experience, I've had a pet dog for most of my life and before I had a real dog to care for I cared for an imaginary dog as well. My first dog was a beagle named Sparkey and I currently have a shih tzu named Harley. I've also cared for my sister's large American Bulldog, Marley, on several occasions. Not to mention the fact that my second middle name is Roch, the patron saint of dogs and dog lovers. I love dogs and strongly believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am patient and caring with dogs and will ensure proper, loving care to any dog entrusted to me. I know how much I love my dogs and would treat any dog under my care as if they were my own. I don't mean to sound arrogant but I think dogs love me. Dogs are an excellent judge of character and most dogs trust me immediately. I know basic dog care knowledge, but plan on learning more. I'm currently reading the book "Inside of a Dog" a book about the thought process of a dog which gives the reader a better understanding of dogs. I also plan on learning doggy CPR if I receive enough clients. I'm going to be graduating from college in May and am currently in the job hunt, so I'm looking for a little bit of extra income during the summer. I currently am only coaching a local swim team which the middle part of my day is very open to caring for dogs. I do have a dog of my own who I walk everyday after I get home from coaching morning practice, so I will always be available after I care for him. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your beautiful pooches!

About: We live on a large dog-friendly property in the Kirkland Highlands which is perfect for happy dogs! We enthusiastically welcome puppies. Most of the pups we dog sit are repeat customers. Our goal is to integrate your pup into the family; we love ours a ton, so we don’t take this lightly. To that end, we keep the amount of dogs we board small and meet everyone before their first stay. We’ve been told we provide the perfect environment for introverted canines.📖 🐾 We both have a background in science and Kim is a certified massage therapist. She previously hosted an AirBnB experience called "Bodywork for Canines". 💆🏻♀️ 🐶 We are both animal lovers with many years of experience caring for dogs. Some highlights of our experience include caring for sharks in aquariums and canine circus training. If we can enrich and entertain an octopus, we can definitely make sure your dog enjoys their stay! 🐙 🐕 We find that dogs with families really miss their kids. Fear not, we have added one to our pack!👶🏻 🐩 We have flexible schedules. Our dogs are woven into our lives: we aim to form a bond with them and provide responsive care. If we’re not home, we are usually on a fun outing! Our house has a large open floor plan. Pets have access to furniture, cuddles, and lot of fenced yard space. The common area has dog beds and romping areas. We are very close to parks, trails, the lake and other fun urban settings.
“Sterling and Beverly are fantastic! They're both wonderful people and took amazing care of our Brin. We even had an unexpected package of groceries show up which they were kind enough to drop off at a food bank.”
About: I am loving and someone you can trust. I do my best to understand them and meet their needs. I love them all as if they were my own babies. I help them take them out and about and meet their needs. If they are happy with me, I will be happy too. Rest assured. My priority is their safety and happiness. I take care of everything about them myself. I don't let them walk in places I don't find safe. I take them home safely and hand them over to their family.
About: Hi! I like you, am a pet owner and lover. In fact, I currently care for an older special needs dog, a rescue dog with anxiety, and a young dog with very high energy. They're all exceptionally loved and receive tailored care from me. I will provide the same high quality care for your dog. For example, the older dog receives extra bathroom breaks because of her bladder issues. I also use universal dog sign language with her because she is deaf. My care will match the needs of your pet. I have years of experience pet sitting, as well as house sitting, for many sizes and kinds of dogs and cats. I'm playful and always have a few tricks up my sleeve! I understand dogs' emotional expressions and have a strong respect for their needs because they rely on us for everything. Alright, let's go to the park! I have a full time job so will need to be away for that 8 hour shift. Aside from that can do walks every 4 hours. I provide care to all kinds of pets. My strategy is to read their rover care sheet and make sure I can accommodate and follow that before committing to any booking.

We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Christina took amazing care of Charlie and Luna, and it was clear they were both happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two happy pups! 🐶🐶 We would definitely recommend Christina and would happily book with her again!
Laura is top tier. She is consistent, reliable, detail-oriented and communicates clearly. She demonstrates high ownership of her work and acts like a leader when preparing and caring for our two Boston Terriers. She is super sweet to them and it genuinely feels like she likes them in the way she engages with them and spends time with them. We are repeat customers with Laura and are grateful for her partnership. Hire her.
She was absolutely wonderful with Hagrid! He’s only 8 weeks old, and she was so sweet, patient, and attentive with him. She sent me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit, which made me feel so comfortable while I was at work. She played with him, fed him, took him out for potty breaks, and even noticed when he was about to have an accident and quickly took him to his potty area. 🥰 Hagrid seemed so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Jacob took wonderful care of Gino! He had a lot of patience with the sweet and scared guy. Jacob was an excellent communicator and reliable. We truly appreciate all your care and help. We had peace of mind knowing he was well looked after. We are very appreciative!
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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Kirkland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
