“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”
“Dmytro and Katya took a great care of our pup Luna. The folks sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on her behavior. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. It was a pleasure to work with Dmytro and Katya”
“I'm so pleased that my first experience through Rover was with Junbo. During our meet-and-greet, I was surprised by how quickly my pup felt comfortable with her. During my weekend away, Junbo kept in frequent contact with me through texts, photos, and videos. I had every confidence my pup was in good hands, and I'll definitely be contacting Junbo again for my next trip.”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”
“Sophia was just what we needed! We were gone traveling for over three weeks, and our two kitties do not do well in a kennel. Sophia provided overnight care, food, litter box cleaning, and the love our kitties needed, and brought in our mail, etc. She sent pictures along the way of cuddling and playing kittens, and arrived home to happy and well cared for cats and a clean home. Thanks, Sophia, can't wait to have you stay again. <3”
About: I have several years of experience providing reliable pet sitting and dog walking services for friends, neighbors, family members, and clients through other pet care platforms. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I am committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care. And also I believe in clear communication and provide regular updates so pet owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I am available at anytime during the day and evening but the best is to let me know your desired hours and I will check my schedule. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. My goal is to help pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“Laurel took care of our 1 year old dog for 6 days. She communicated well over the app, gave our dog lots of attention, and left the house in really great shape. She was really pleasant to work with!”
“Nicole took such good care of my dog Josie! Josie is nervous of new people but she warmed up to Nicole so quickly, I appreciated Nicole's understanding of nervous/particular dogs. She stopped in my apartment multiple times a day to take care of Josie, and I loved the daily update pictures she sent me. Thanks so much :)”
“Ashley house sat for us for a four-days and watched our two mini-bull terriers. She was an absolute pleasure to work with; on time and gave us constant updates on our puppies. Ashley was always on time and responded to our request for a house sitter within 15 mintues. We could not ask for a better sitter for both our pups as well as our home. We will absolutely book her services again!”
About: Since 2010, I have provided professional house sitting and pet care services for clients throughout the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle areas. Known for discretion, reliability, and exceptional care, I ensure homes are impeccably maintained and pets receive personalized attention, giving clients complete peace of mind while they are away. I am also cat &dog CPR trained, experienced in subcutaneous (sub-Q) fluid administration for feline and canine care. I do not charge for more than one pet for overnights. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize consistency, reliability, and attentiveness for each client. I am flexible and able to adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of the pets and households I care for, including morning, evening, and overnight care when needed. Because I work independently and manage my time effectively, I ensure each home and pet receives dedicated attention without rushing or overbooking. I care for pets in my client’s home with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, stable environment. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure doors and gates remain secure at all times and keep a close eye on pets to prevent accidents or stress. I also keep the home tidy, respected, and well-maintained, giving both pets and owners peace of mind while they are away.
“Ana is officially our favorite cat/house sitter! She is so detail oriented that we always feel great before our trips, like she has all of the knowledge she could possibly need while we're gone. Ana has taken such good care of our cats and our home, even attentive to things that we didn't think of. Ana is our go-to now for any trip we take out of town!”
“Yu was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter and house sitter—we feel so lucky to have found her! She took such loving care of both our dog and our cat, Rosie, while we were away. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent us frequent updates, complete with adorable photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind and made us smile every day. Not only did she take our dog on long, happy walks, but she also made sure both the dog and cat were well-fed, cuddled, and clearly feeling safe and loved in our absence. We could tell they were thriving under her care. When we returned home, the house was in beautiful condition—tidy, clean, and clearly well looked after. It honestly felt like we’d left everything in the hands of a trusted friend. Yu’s calm, responsible nature and her clear love for animals make her an absolute gem. We would invite her back to watch our pets and home again in a heartbeat. If you have the chance to book her—do it!”
“Jessi is the person you want watching your pet! She treats them as if they’re her own. My dog (Peaches) has separation anxiety but I know that when I leave her with Jessi that she is safe, happy, and cared for as if she were family. She sends as many photos and videos as you ask for and often sends them without being asked, which is always a lovely surprise! Peaches is always so excited to see Jessi! It’s apparent that Jessi takes time to build relationships of trust and love with the pets she cares for. Jessi takes Peaches for long walks, plays fetch, tug-of-war, and gives all the scritches and cuddles (which Peaches loves!). Jessi is attentive to Peaches needs, careful to adjust care as needed and when requested. When we pick Peaches up she’s relaxed, happy, and looks well taken care of! Couldn’t recommend Jessi more and we will continue to use her in the future!”
“Katherine is great! I could tell within minutes of meeting her that she was capable and dependable. She sent pictures of our Riley during her stay, washed the sheets, and offered to come back if we got stuck in traffic. I can’t say enough good things and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”
“Allie was the absolute best with my kitty Izzy! She sends updates and is very thoughtful of what she needs to do for my kitty to make her as comfortable as possible. She is also a very good communicator which is so appreciated. Izzy was happy and thriving when I came home.”
“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Brittany did a fantastic job. I met her on short notice and had her house sit for a week with my two dogs. She took great care of them, kept them active and happy. She went above and beyond and left my place spruced up and even prepped some food and left it in the fridge for my return home, I really appreciate her service and will definitely use her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kirkland is $64
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
We booked Sophia for our weeklong trip to watch our mini-zoo of 4 dogs and 2 cats and she was amazing! Responsible, respectful, and responsive. She was happy to comply with everything we asked of her, and even did plenty without us asking. Our house was pristine when we returned and our pets were all very happy and well taken care of, she even washed our rug when one of the dogs had an accident! We would definitely book Sophia again in the future if we have another trip.
Our boy is a tough cookie. He has a lot of ailments and gets agitated very easily but Yulia is so patient and kind to him. She really has a way with him and he seems to always be a happy camper when she watches him. It’s always such a relief when she stays with him when we’re away.
We couldn’t be happier with how attentive and engaged Kellie was while watching our two dogs Lucy and Jelly. She stayed at our home and did everything possible to keep our girls happy and healthy. Lucy had a recent unexpected surgery, and Kellie kept us updated on how her incisions looked and made sure to keep her cone on to help her heal. Likewise, Jelly has medical issues and needs daily medication and has strict diet and food allergies and we came home to a perfectly happy and healthy pup! She kept us well informed throughout the stay with lots of pictures and updates and left the house immaculate. Will 100% be booking her again! Your dog will definitely be in great hands.
I was able to book Amanda on fairly short notice, and from the meet and greet alone I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She provided frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. When I got home, my dogs were happy and well cared for, and my house was spotless. I would absolutely recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kirkland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kirkland on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,977 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kirkland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kirkland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

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.
