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!
“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.”

“Colin did a great job with my dog. I broke my arm and could not walk him. he was a lifesaver. I would and will use this site again. I would recommend Colin as he did a wonderful job.”
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.
About: I will say hi to every single dog I see walking by. I treat my own dog as she is my child and ready to give extra love to your fur baby! I love taking long (short, if needed) walks. I am attentive and will ensure the care and safety of your loved one. I am ready to make sure that your dog gets the love they need while you are working, traveling or anything in between :) I am new to the city and looking to build rapport with the community! I am currently on summer break so I am able to be flexible with my dog walking times and/ or check ins! As a petsitter, I want to ensure top care for any pet and their owners. I would make sure to make their safety my number 1 priority. This includes making sure that I am paying attention to their body language and behaviors inside and out of the home.
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. 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.

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.
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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 11,860 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.

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.
