About: I had my first Pitbull 16 years ago, I would take her to my gym and hang out all the time. After her, I adopted two little Chihuahua mix. I took the two of them on long walks and they like to cuddle with me at home. Growing up my families have German Shepherd and Mallimois mix. I had first hand expeirence taking care of different breeds of various sizes. Your Babies will be in really good hands :) usually free during the week near Kirkland, from morning to night. Weekend schedule depends, I will try our best to help you and accomodate you into our schedule I will make sure to walk them outside, play, and provide plenty of enrichment. Give them love and affection, treat them like my own dogs.
“Kristie continues to impress me with her calm and sweet demeanor. Teddy has adopted her completely into his family! She is on time and great about communication! Will definitely be using her for all our dog sitting. ”
“Shayna was absolutely amazing. She cared for my puppies like they were her own. My puppies are extremely anxious and a handful but she was so patient and made sure they were loved. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Shawn took amazing care of our cat Nori. She was able to quickly build trust with our cat who can be a bit shy. She provided great communications through her check ins and Nori really enjoyed playing with her. I would not hesitate to have her take care of our cat again!”
About: I know how important it is to feel confident that your beloved pets are happy and safe when you are traveling. Thats why I am really more of a dog nanny than a dogsitter. I have a soft spot for dogs who are shy or anxious, and whose trust I need to earn. I am particularly experienced with northern breeds such as Huskies and Malamutes. Regular clients get great benefits on top of in-house pet sitting. My base rate includes 1 hour or more of exercise (off leash park or leashed hike). I offer nail trims/dremels and light grooming at no additional cost. I offer deshedding/bathing for a modest fee, and I'm flexible about last minute schedule changes. For housesitting gigs, my dog Kaya is my +1. She provides stellar socialization and exercise for dogs who will accept canine visitors. I respect that some of owners feel reluctant to invite in dogs they don't know. If you would like your dog to have socialization with visitors but you're concerned, I have a lot of training experience with this and I may be of some help. Every day we have at least 1 hour of exercise in an off leash park or a leashed hike. My guests also get to join me on socialization expeditions such as visiting dog-friendly businesses. I can provide basic first aid in case of minor injuries, and I have an excellent track record for keeping dogs safe and out of mischief. In addition to Rover's insurance, I also have a private pet sitting insurance policy.
“This is my second booking with Nicole, and will definitely use her as our default pet sitter for when we are in need! She leaves great notes for us, and takes good pictures.”
About: I have always had some kind of pet growing up and am so happy with that fact! Whether it be bird, turtle, fish, hamster, or more cats and dogs than I can count I have either owned them or taken care of them. I have experience with all walks of life from fresh to life to the could retire in human years stages. I also have experience in keeping to medication schedules and working around allergies and diets during mealtimes. I also have worked with highly-reactive dogs and am more than willing to put in the time and effort so they are comfortable with me as well as have the skills to help them work through stressful moments. I absolutely cannot wait to meet your pets and help you support them as best I can. I currently work several seasonal jobs so I am super available during the off seasons. I am open for walks or check-ins from 10am-6pm Tuesdays-Sundays and I am available for house sitting on a short notice. I always make sure that your pet’s safety and care is my top priority. For walks I love sticking to areas around the house the pet is already comfortable in or if you and the pet are ok with it going on a bit of an adventure in my car to a local dog park or walking area. If I am staying at your house I always aim to stick to the animals normal schedule, including mealtimes and walk times, to ensure that they are disrupted as little as possible and still feel safe.

“Ellie is so sweet! She was attentive to our kitty and parrot while we were away. Every day she shared photos and updates, even cleaning after our kitty’s hairballs and letting us know. Her care made us feel confident our pets were safe and cared for. I’d highly recommend booking with Ellie and we hope she’ll be available for our next time away. 💕”

I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on most weekdays after 9am and same time weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion, I’ll be there for them.

About: During college I did Rover and Nextdoor all four years to walk and care for mainly dogs but also cats. I’ve got tons of experience taking care of all kinds of animals. I’m new here and looking to meet some new people/pets so I decided to get back on Rover. I work 30 hours a week, four days so am flexible with timing. I have a 7-month old puppy at home that I am also raising, I give her daily walks. I love walking so can fit walks into my schedule whenever I am free. I have been raising a puppy with my Mom here at home. Our place is too small to accommodate more pets but I am happy to come to your place. I love hanging out with animals, playing with them and taking them for walks. I’m obsessed with all dogs!
About: Hey there! I have 10yrs of personal experience with caring for dogs; small, big, or any size in between! I currently have two rescues, a large (120lbs) black lab and a small (15lbs) chihuahua-spaniel mix! I have experience with dogs of all tempers, needs, and personalities including introverted, outgoing, and family friendly. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom in grad school, so my schedule is flexible for drop-ins & day sitting. Please note that there may be times where I may have my child with me. While she is familiar with pets and their boundaries, please let me know if your pet is adults only so that I can ensure my schedule aligns with your pets needs, and that I can care for them while my child isn’t with me. For outdoor & social dogs, I have a fenced, 200sqft backyard along with 2 dogs (large & small) who can play with your dog if they need some company! I have a wide range of toys and am located near many parks & walking trails. For indoor or introverted pets, half of my apartment is baby-fenced off for privacy & space as needed. I am more than happy to hang out inside with your pup & help with decompression time as needed!
“Elizabeth was reliable and self-sufficient while caring for Frank during my trip. She provided ample updates and Frank was happy upon our return home. I will not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Louise was very sweet and gentle with our cat. She bonded with him in a short time and made him less anxious when we were away. Thanks Louise. You are the best. Maryam”
About: Hi! I’m Sarah. I have a 4-year-old miniature dachshund, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. Over the past 8 years, I’ve gained extensive experience dog walking, house sitting, and caring for pets for many different families. My boyfriend and I, along with our dog Penny, often house sit together, which allows us to provide attentive, flexible care for your home and pets around our work schedules. I truly love animals and can’t imagine life without them! I work full-time as a Special Education Teacher, but I’m looking to spend my weekends doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. When I’m with your pet, they will have my full attention, plenty of affection, and the care they deserve.
“I highly recommend Xiaoyi for cat sitting! I booked Xiaoyi for drop-in visits, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. Xiaoyi was incredibly punctual, reliable, and followed all feeding instructions perfectly. I really appreciated the detailed updates and the adorable photos sent during each visit, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that Xiaoyi truly loves animals and treated my cat with so much patience and kindness. Thank you, Xiaoyi!”
About: I grew up with a very energetic dachshund, so I’m familiar with active dogs who need clear routines and diet control. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, and keeping their dogs comfortable while their owners were away. I’m calm, patient, and always focused on creating a safe and positive experience for every dog, whether they’re outgoing or shy. I’m a stay-at-home mom and photographer, so my schedule is very flexible during the day. I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits between 10am and 3pm on most weekdays. This allows me to give your pup consistent, unrushed attention and fit visits smoothly into your dog’s routine. I focus on keeping your pet safe and relaxed in the environment they know best. I follow your instructions carefully—feeding routines, leash preferences, crates, or any training cues you use. I always double-check doors, refresh water, and make sure your pet is comfortable before I leave. My priority is gentle, reliable care that supports your dog’s normal routine.
About: I started house and pet sitting at age 16 when neighbors started asking me to watch their pets. My first gig was actually for a rabbit, but since then I've worked with dogs and cats. I have taken care of old dogs who required several medications, cats with kidney and digestive issues, and even a poor young dog who experienced seizures. I currently work full-time at a hotel in Bellevue. My schedule includes odd hours such as early morning and late evening shifts on weekdays and weekends. This leaves me availability during business hours to pick up dog walks, drop in visits, and watch animals that can be left for 8 hours if necessary. I do not have a home myself to offer to pets, but when in a client's home I will care for pets as their owner asks me to. In addition to specific owner instruction, I will pay close attention to pets, feed and water them, take them on walks in the case of dogs, and play with or pet them.
About: I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs. I raised my Maltese from 6 months old until she passed away at 18 years old, so I have experience caring for a dog through different stages of life, including her senior years. I also have experience walking another dog in my current household. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I will always do my best to follow each owner's instructions carefully. I currently have a flexible schedule and can be available for walks and drop-in visits from Monday to Saturday. I can adjust my availability based on each dog's routine and care needs. I will carefully follow each owner's instructions and their dog's normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I will pay close attention to the dog's behavior and surroundings, and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I will also keep owners updated about how their dog is doing.

Anastasia has been such a wonderful dog sitter to Tiny! She has been caring for her every Tuesday through Thursday for over a month now, and I couldn't be happier with her care. She is incredibly thorough with every visit, always sending photos and keeping me updated, which I really appreciate. She even goes the extra mile by bringing in my mail if it's left by the doorstep while I'm away. There have also been times when I've asked her on short notice to do an additional evening check-in if I need to stay late at work, and she has always been so accommodating. Anastasia has given me such peace of mind knowing that Tiny is in great hands while I'm away at work. I’m so grateful for all her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Anastasia!
Salty had a great experience with Yifan! She took wonderful care of Salty during the drop-in visits, including one potty break and two meal breaks. She was reliable, attentive, and caring, and we felt very comfortable knowing Salty was in good hands. We really appreciate her help and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 😊🐾
XUEYAN was fantastic with my two Pomskies, BOBBY and 小八! She arrived right on time and sent plenty of pictures during the visit, which I really appreciated while I was away. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the balcony for them — such a kind, unexpected touch. My pups were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend XUEYAN to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kirkland is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 11,589 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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.
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.
To find sitters in Kirkland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
