“Shana has been walking my dog weekly for the past 6 months and I can genuinely say she’s everything you would want in a dog walker/sitter. Shana always gives a complete review with pictures where I can tell she really cares about the health and safety of my dog. It makes my day when I receive an update from their walks. She’s very responsive and flexible and stays on top of keeping my dogs walks scheduled. I feel my fur baby is in the best hands with her. I couldn’t recommend Shana more.”
“Laura walked our 1 yo golden retriever Cheddar while we were out of town and she was staying with a family member who wasn’t able to watch her. Everything went very smoothly and Cheddar seemed very happy with her!”
“I was so grateful for Ao and Yun’s kind and thoughtful care of Harley while we were on vacation. Our family staying with her was unable to walk her so Ao and Yun were life savers for our energetic baby. They sent pictures and updates everyday they were there - thank you so much you two!”
“Alex has been our dog walker for a couple months now. He is very attentive and has been so flexible with our ever-changing work schedules. We always appreciate his help and the boys seem worn out after their walks!”
About: I am very passionate about animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I joined 4-H club when I was 7 years old and have been caring for dogs, rabbits, and other animals ever since. I have learned so much about dogs and have a true connection to them. I am experienced caring for all ages of dogs including puppies and seniors. I understand the special attention dogs need in each stage of life. I find so much joy in helping and bonding with animals. My dog Kita Bear lived a beautiful long life of 17 years. She was the most energetic and loving Norwegian Elk Hound, and she truly had a personality of her own. I have also cared for friends, neighbors and family members pets. I see the beauty and sweetness in dogs eyes and they are truly precious. I would love to be able to care for your fur baby! I am available to care for pets during the week and weekends. Please see my availability below: Monday - Thursday from 5:30am - 8am and 5:30pm - 11pm (During the week I am also available for one night pet sitting) Saturday and Sunday: All day Safety is my upmost priority when caring for your pet. I am very precautious and have the ability to foresee situations. I have good judgment and want to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Holly is the perfect dog walker for us! She knows exactly how to handle our dog and is patient when all he wants to do is sniff and roll around. We absolutely love having her and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Last week was the first time I used Edie for my new puppy Chester. He is quite the handful and she has done wonders with him. She’s been very flexible and genuinely enjoy to work with. Hopefully Chester will get used to her as I will be using her weekly for his walks.”
“Leelay is great. She was kind, genuinely cared for our dog. She was great at paying attention to details. She was also committed and responsible, even during the days with the harsh snow and freezing rain.”
“Jacob is by far the best dog walker I’ve ever had. You can truly tell how much he loves dogs, and he walks your dog as if they were his own. One of my dogs is very timid and shy, but by the end of their very first walk, I could already see that he felt comfortable with Jacob and trusted him. Both of my dogs always looked so happy after their walks, and Jacob consistently provided plenty of photos and thoughtful notes each time. I have so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands, and I would absolutely recommend Jacob to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dogs like family. Thank you so much! 💜”
About: I have years of experience caring for small dogs of all ages, from active puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for older dogs with special needs. My friendly, neutered poodle mix loves having canine companions and gets along well with other small dogs. We enjoy daily walks, playtime, and trips to local parks. I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for weekend stays and short visits. Your pup will be treated like family! 🐕💕 I work in the office 4 days per week. Dogs receive two daily walks, along with potty breaks approximately every 4 hours. My home is a dog-friendly apartment community with many resident dogs, so guests should be comfortable riding an elevator and being around other dogs in shared spaces. My friendly poodle mix enjoys companionship, and we make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and a comfortable place to relax. We are best suited for social, adaptable small dogs who enjoy being around people and other pups.
“I’m so grateful for Colin! I needed a last-minute walker after coming down with a stomach bug, and he was an absolute lifesaver. He was flexible, responsive, and super friendly, keeping me updated throughout the walk. This was my first time using Rover, and Colin even helped walk me through the final steps of setting up my account—so kind and patient! Highly recommend him.”
“Shawn was able to walk my dog at the very last minute when my other walker had to cancel, and it was early evening too which I really appreciated! Not an easy time of day to drop everything and come by, thank you Shawn from me and Shuggie! I had injured my back but I was able to stay home and rest knowing Shug was well taken care of and getting the exercise and fresh air she needed. This worked out well!🐾🥰”
About: I am currently new to Rover but I am an experienced dog walker. I have taken care of 10+ dogs in King County and have received many five star reviews regarding my on-demand dog walking service. I understand the body language of dogs and know how to communicate with dogs effectively. I also know the area well and know where to go for walks to ensure a safe and fun experience. I work flexible hours and can easily move things around to do pet care. I am normally available every day except for Sundays. I have done dog walking in the morning, around noon and in the evening. I have done dozens of on-demand dog walking. Every dog is unique. But yet they all share the same need of love and care. I aspire to make the dog walks safe, fun and full of love.
“Ana is absolutely wonderful! She’s been so great in making sure my pup Rocco is getting is daily exercise. She’s very friendly, outgoing, professional and does a great job with picture updates! Rocco comes back happy and sleepy every time. 5/5 definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve owned three dogs across nearly 10 years, including a Border Collie and a Poodle staying in China now. I have over five dog walking experiences back in China, sincerely love all pups and provide regular potty breaks plus daily photo updates for every boarding dog. I stay home most days in Kirkland with flexible free time. I’m fully available all weekends for boarding, and free most weekday afternoons, able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours regularly. I own a secure fenced backyard for dogs’ outdoor play. My two gentle spayed female dogs are staying in China now, I keep home pet-safe and send daily photo updates to owners for every boarding pup.
“Jessica was very nice and communicated with me very well. My first time using Rover and she kindfully answered all my questions which made me feel a lot better. She updated me every step of the way and sent me pictures which was very appreciated. Definetly recommend.”
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.
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!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Kirkland is $25

Star is our dog's favorite human being (by far), and it is easy to see why: she is punctual, communicative, doesn't flinch when (large) puppies go crazy with excitement, and takes her on the best walks along various scenic routes in town. We appreciate Star's ability to handle our high-energy dog with kindness and humor. We have also had one experience with daycare at Star's place, and she ensured a smooth and easy process for both the meet & greet and the actual care. We hope to continue working with Star on a regular basis!
Ellina is the sweetest! Very attentive, loves dogs and arrived early/on time every time. When something unexpected came up that conflicted she let me know right away so we could adjust the time. Dogs love her and def recommend. Will be using her as often as I can!!
Emilia is great! Caring, reliable and professional. Rex couldn’t wait for his time with Emilia. She’s gentle, caring and natural with our Rex. She checks in with me for instructions and follows them strictly. She will be back to care for our Rex again soon! Thanks for everything you do for Rex. I know he’s safe, happy and loved while we are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Kirkland on Rover is $25.68 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,774 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kirkland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kirkland.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
