About: Hi! I'm Elena, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine and experience in canine behavior and handling (kinology), which helps me understand dogs' needs, body language, and personalities. Before moving to the United States, I had two beloved Corgis who were part of my family for many years. Caring for them gave me hands-on experience with daily routines, training, enrichment, grooming, and recognizing signs that a dog may not be feeling well. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where every dog receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I'm happy to follow your dog's feeding schedule, administer medications if needed, and accommodate any special instructions. You'll also receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own. Although I work full-time, caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Every dog staying with me gets at least three walks a day, plenty of playtime, love, and one-on-one attention. I organize my schedule so your pup can maintain their normal routine and feel happy, relaxed, and at home while you're away. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in Veterinary Medicine and experience in canine behavior, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and adapt my care to each dog's individual needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I never introduce dogs without permission, I always use secure leashes during walks, and I make sure every pet has a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident while you're away.
“This is the first time we used Shana. She responded on very short notice to take care of our senior cat and we could not have been more pleased with the excellent care she provided to our cat. We will be using Shana in the future and would highly recommend her to care for your pet too.”
“Alex was a great caretaker for my dogs while my family and I were gone for a night. He visited 4 times for at least 30 minutes each (as promised!) From the introduction meeting and the photo updates he sent, the dogs seemed to really like him. I was so relieved to have someone trustworthy in our home. He is a great guy!”
“Star was great! Super friendly, communicative, and reliable. Stella got lots of exercise and scritches with her, and Star documented it all with awesome action shots!”
“Rebekah was very communicative and willing to work with us on making sure our kitty was taken care of throughout our travels. Will definitely reach out to her the next time we need care for our kitty.”
About: I'm a little obsessed with dogs. BIG dogs, especially. The bigger, the better. I grew up with a beautiful golden and recently raised a big, dopey (slightly dumb) yellow lab named Taxi. I miss her terribly so while I'm waiting for the perfect time to get my next pooch, I thought I could help walk yours! As a middle school English teacher, I'm wide open for the summer, so can walk almost any time during the week. I can board, as well, most nights. I am VERY cautious and careful with any pet, but especially those which are not my own. I will not have any pup go missing on my watch! When outside, I'll have a harness and leash on at all times and make sure they have enough water and distance from other dogs we do not know. At home, I'll be extremely careful not to have anything around they could eat, chew, consume, drink etc that would land them in the vet hospital! Safety first.
“Sandra is such a sweetheart! She was great during the meet and greet, asked lots of questions and approached our cats gently - the more outgoing of our two kitties even trusted her for some belly rubs! While we were away, she was very communicative, and we felt confident our boys were in good hands. She did a great job and we would happily trust her to care for them again next time!”
“Laura is fantastic! We have only used her for one week, but she is always super communicative, gives updates, and gives our girl so much love during her drop in visits during our work days! We are so happy to have found her!! Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was awesome with our two cats while we were away for vacation. She gave regular updates and followed all our instructions. We came back to happy cats and a well taken care of space. We’d be happy to book her again!”
“Logan is very communicative and responsive! She gives great and thorough daily updates and my kitties look like they are having a blast in the photos. Lots of action shots! No issues with medication administration either.”
“I would definitely recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in on their cat(s). I hired Bailey to drop in on my cat over a 3ish week timespan. She followed instructions carefully and, more impressively, was able to get my very shy cat to open up to her. For context, my cat is extremely wary of strangers and hides when unfamiliar people are at my house. I was very happy to eventually see pictures of my cat happily cuddling up to Bailey. Bailey also clearly cares about providing excellent care to her clients’ animals.”
“Alejandro was wonderful with Tiago! Alejandro is super responsible and took lots of adorable pictures of Tiago during his drop ins. Tiago was immediately comfortable with him and loves having his daily visits from his new best bud.”
“Allie was able to come watch my girls on short notice and did such a great job. My girls loved her immediately and she was really thorough with doing everything I had requested. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
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.
“She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with cats. I really appreciated the updates and photos she shared, which gave me great peace of mind during my trip. My cat looked relaxed and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Brittany was amazing with our two kittens! They really enjoyed playing with her, and she was very attentive to all of the care details I left. In addition to the check-in and play time, she also scooped the litter box for us, which was very nice of her. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”
“Sterling and Beverly are fantastic! They're both wonderful people and took amazing care of our Brin. We even had an unexpected package of groceries show up which they were kind enough to drop off at a food bank.”

Jacob took wonderful care of Gino! He had a lot of patience with the sweet and scared guy. Jacob was an excellent communicator and reliable. We truly appreciate all your care and help. We had peace of mind knowing he was well looked after. We are very appreciative!
Teresa is easily the best sitter we've ever had and it shows when our cats are excited to see her - especially our shy one who hides from my mom when she cat sits, but plays with Teresa! We have total trust and confidence in Teresa, which takes away a lot of the stress we have about leaving the cats alone. She's the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kirkland on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 12,333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kirkland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kirkland. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
