“Best pet sitter! We finished another set of walks for July and our usually timid, shy boy is so much friendlier and confident since meeting Shana! Can’t rave enough - lots of photos, thorough notes, and the utmost care on every walk. Shana is our go-to pet sitter and we highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and the trusted go-to sitter for all my friends' pups when they travel. Whether your dog thrives on energetic walks, fun playtime, or sweet belly rubs, I treat every pup like family. I’ve long been the first go-to parent for my friends furry babies whenever they travel and need someone trustworthy:) You’ll get frequent photo and video updates, so you can travel with complete peace of mind knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved! I mostly work from home in Kirkland with a very flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate most needs after 11 AM—just let me know a day in advance! "I graduated from UW and live in a single-family home featuring a spacious 1,000 sq. ft. deck and a park-like yard—giving your fur babies plenty of natural space to play and explore! I closely follow your instructions while giving them the gentle, loving care they deserve. I have a friendly 1-year-old kitty who loves company, but I can easily keep pets completely separate if needed.
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!
“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!”
“Brittany was absolutely incredible with our two fur babies . She went above and beyond for us while caring for them while I was away . I would highly recommend and can’t wait to use her services again!”
“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! 💜”
“Ana was very punctual and our dog was very happy to see her with each walk. She made extra efforts to help him adjust to his new schedule. We felt very grateful for her excellent care and communication”
“XUEYAN did a fantastic job with my dog today! It was their first meeting, but her sweet approach instantly put him at ease. She took great care of him and gave him a wonderful afternoon walk while I was away. She shared plenty of updates, photos, and videos from start to finish, which made me feel completely reassured. Also, her communication during booking and scheduling was incredibly quick and accommodating. Thank you, XUEYAN, for taking such great care of my dog!”
About: Hi!! I am Brooke and I have always been a big time animal lover🤍 I had a cat growing up and now have a family dog, so I’m very familiar and comfortable being around both cats and dogs. I have also pet sat multiple times so I have experience taking care of other people’s pets. I truly love getting to know all their different personalities and what makes each pet unique. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply just hanging out and keeping them company, I strongly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for🐾💛 My job is pretty flexible and some days I have lots of free time so I thought this would be the perfect thing for me to do:) I always want to make sure a pet feels safe and comfortable, and I’ll do whatever I can to help them feel at home. I’ll also give them all the love and care they deserve :)
“Sandra is an absolute delight! I am so grateful for her help with Roxie when I wasn't able to walk her. I loved getting the photos of Roxie while on their walk. Sandra is a great communicator and Roxie had a blast with her! Highly recommend!!”
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 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.

“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!”
About: I am no stranger to pet care! I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember, from staying overnight while they’re on vacation to daily potty breaks, walks, and fun adventures. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have my own 5-year-old Goldendoodle, and we love going to the park and playing fetch together! Having my own dog has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I’m especially attentive to their individual needs. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the same love and care I give my own! I work part-time and attend school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I have two in-person classes during the week (usually in the mornings) and work two full shifts on the weekends. Outside of that, I have plenty of availability during the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I’m happy to communicate clearly about timing and make sure your pet gets consistent care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have experience caring for reactive dogs, including my own, which has helped me become very attentive to body language and behavioral cues. I understand the importance of giving dogs space when needed and using calm, positive reinforcement to help them feel secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all routines closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I treat every home and pet with respect, and I’m committed to creating a safe, trustworthy environment where your dog feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I have been a proud dad of my cats for 5 years. I know how much your cat means to you because I’m a pet lover too. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m typically available for visits in the evenings (5-9 PM), but I can adjust based on your cat’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether they need a quick check-in, some playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll be there to give them the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care visit. In your home, I respect your cat’s space and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust, moving at their pace—whether that means quiet companionship or engaging play. I carefully follow feeding instructions, maintain a clean environment, and make sure doors and windows are secure. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: Hi, I have owned dogs since I was a toddler, and have dealt with aggressive dogs, disobedient dogs, and females who have labored puppies all through the course of my lifetime. I currently my pup Leila (she's a cute medium size mutt). She is a little over 2 years old. I got her around 6 weeks old, so I am very familiar with puppy behavior. If you feel comfortable, I can take your puppy out to the dog park to play with others. I am very flexible when it comes to special requests (if your pup needs to be crated, potty trained, or teach commands/leash training). It is guaranteed that I will be home the entire time I will be taking care of your pup(s) as I'm very familiar that some pets suffer from anxiety, especially when it comes to a new place. I Leila with me everywhere I can so rest assured, yours will be taken care of like mine is. Leila will be very happy to meet a new friends. Of course, I will provide plenty of treats with a lot of walks in between; I will accommodate to any dietary restrictions. I will happily take hyper dogs and make sure they are worn out by the time you come get them. I am currently not working so I am free to give your puppers love and attention. I love being outdoors and would love tire your pups out. Consistent with walks/outside time. I have a patio as well if dogs want to go outside. Plenty of treats and toys for their enjoyment and a fur baby that would love the company.

Cortney has been such a wonderful dog walker! My dog can be a little shy around new people, but she took to Cortney immediately. She’s very communicative, provides great information on how each walk goes, and is attentive to my dog’s needs. Definitely recommend and I’ll be using her in the future!
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! 💜
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!!

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.

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 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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
