“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.”
“Star is truly amazing! She is so communicative, respectful, and reliable, and always follows all of my directions perfectly. She is absolutely wonderful with my dog, and I can tell how much care and attention she gives her every time she comes by. She truly goes above and beyond with all of the photos and thoughtful comments she sends after each walk. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Star 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!”
“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.”
“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: 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: 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 :)
About: I have a six year old chihuahua min pin that I rescued as a puppy during Covid so I’m used to clingy dogs with big personalities. I’m super over protective of her so I will give your pup the same care when they are with me. Im currently looking for work so im flexible right now with my time during the week. Im happy to help out with those mid day potty breaks and walks. When I dog sit I make sure your animal stays on their usual routine as I know it can be stressful for them. I also try to stay with them as much as possible as my dog hates to be alone
“Logan was awesome! She walked and fed our dogs (and a couple other animals) while we were away for a few days. She was very communicative, reliable thoughtful and trustworthy with our home and pets, with instructions, locking up, etc. We have two dogs that pull a lot when walking so not a job for just anyone. Our dogs were well taken care of while we were away and well adjusted to all back to normal when we came back. I would recommend and use again.”
“Hey Lara, thank you so much for being a great caretaker for our Albert and Brownie! They love you so much and missed you! We are so glad that you are back! Larisa has been our trusted pet companion forever and we are glad to see her revive her business!”
“Natalia was amazing!! First time using Rover so I was slightly nervous but she has great communication through the app and took my doggo on a long walk. A+++ will definitely book again. Super happy!! :)”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always multiple pets around—including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish—so I’ve been comfortable caring for animals for as long as I can remember. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’ve continued to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets when they’ve been away. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, including senior dogs and cats and pets who are partially deaf or blind. I especially enjoy getting to know an animal’s individual personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. My goal is to make the experience as easy and stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means a long walk, plenty of playtime, a quiet afternoon nap, medication or extra assistance for a senior pet, or simply some good company. I’m particularly comfortable with senior pets and pets with hearing or vision limitations. I understand that these animals may need a little more patience, consistency, and awareness of their surroundings. I’m also happy to care for young, energetic pets and reinforce the routines and positive-training approaches you already use at home. Most importantly, I treat every animal as an individual. Some pets want constant attention and play; others are happiest curled up nearby. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the kind of care and companionship that makes them feel at home. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away with photos and little check-ins, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happily settling in. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pet and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ I am an independent consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my days around pet care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and can often provide daytime visits, walks, and check-ins when your pet needs them most. Because I set my own schedule, I can be flexible and responsive to your pet’s routine rather than trying to fit them into a rigid workday. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. I know that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first. I carefully follow your instructions, routines, feeding schedules, medication directions, and any special needs your pet may have. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I take extra care with senior pets or animals who may have hearing or vision limitations. I’ll also keep you informed while you’re away with updates and photos, and I’ll let you know promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet. You can expect me to be dependable, respectful of your home and privacy, and genuinely caring with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your pet is safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away.
About: Grew up with with 3 golden retrievers, while my work travel schedule doesn’t allow for pets, would love to care for yours. I’m that person who pets (with permission) every dog on a walk/hike, and I am often asked to dog-sit for friends and family. I have a flexible schedule so please reach out. Avid hiker and experienced backpacker with an emergency management background that over-prepares - so if your pup is up for an on-leash mountain adventure and does well around strangers happy to explore outside the city. I’m near popular walking trails/parks/and Lake Washington. Can easily provide walking/housesitting services for dogs, but am highly allergic to cats. PNW local, that misses the joys of having a dog.

I work remotely full-time and control my own schedule. All my services are available throughout the week and weekends for one-time or ongoing. We have a gated balcony on our second floor unit and pet friendly environment in our complex. Easy access to walking trails and Marymoor park.

We have hardwood floors with a few area rugs. We allow dogs on couch and bed if preferred.
“Beverly and Sterling are knowledgeable, patient, and dependable. I have two rescue dogs I feel very protective of, they were very supportive and helpful getting both owner and dogs comfortable. They clearly have a passion for dogs, that matters to me. And my dogs love them!”

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!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kirkland is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $44 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 Kirkland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kirkland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
