“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!”
“Viktoriia is so wonderful. My cats are skittish but Viktoriia tries to lure them out and I can see the cat toys she used to entice my cats. 😊 I can tell she is a very caring cat person. ❤️ This is my 2nd time using her and I will definitely ask her to watch my cats again.”
“We were so lucky to have Caroline take care of our cat Dasha while we were on an Alaskan cruise. She is an incredibly sweet person who just radiates calm and kindness, and it only took Dasha about a day or so before she was purring and headbutting and cuddling with Caroline. I left a detailed checklist for Caroline for Dasha's care and feeding and she followed it to the letter, her Rover cards full of details and observations of Dasha's wellbeing as well as sweet photos and videos. She would text and let me know when she arrived, fed Dasha her food with her favorite treats sprinkled on top, scooped her litter box meticulously, and gave Dasha lots of love and attention. I fear that if we book Caroline again, Dasha would cheerfully offer herself up for re-adoption by Caroline, but we'll accept that risk and look forward to rebooking Caroline in the future! :-D”
“So glad we found Edie. Despite an uncertain welcome by my 3 standard poodles (especially the two youngest ones), she won them over and had my spirited 4 year old boy hugging her and other one laying at her feet. She even spent time with my 20 year old kitty who mostly sleeps these days. Edie knows her way around animals and her comfort level was obviously communicated to my four legged children. Thank you, Edie!”
“This is the second time Alec has taken care of my cats. All 3 of my cats love Alec, there's no stress vomiting or overeating issues whenever Alec sits them. I recommend Alec to anyone in the area ❤️”
“Shana did a wonderful job taking care of our cats on her recent visits. She used a large laser toy when entertaining our senior boy because she noticed older cats don't always see the small laser well - from the pictures, I could tell my cat was extremely happy finally being able to see the laser :)”
“Emily was easily the BEST rover sitter I’ve ever used. She was booked to do 30 min drop ins for my cat while I was gone for nearly 3 weeks, and she was so sweet and communicative! I will definitely be using her services again the next time I’m out of town!!”
“Louise did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Niko while we were gone. She sent daily updates, making sure that everything he needed was taken care of and fit in lots of play time. She was also super accommodating of last minute requests, we highly recommend Louise for anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Louise! 🥰”
“Katie is amazing. She's very responsive and it's apparent she truly loves animals. I have had her house sit my dog and do drop ins for my cat. She asks questions, and makes sure she understands exactly what is best for the animal so they get the care they need.”
“Jessica has done incredible job of taking care of our pets the last few months during our summer travels. It is so nice to know that our Fur babies are always so well taken care of she does so incredible with them.”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, awareness, and communication. I’ve owned pets my entire life and currently care for a dachshund, so I’m very familiar with reading behavior, respecting routines, and keeping things calm and predictable for your pet. I’m extremely punctual and detail-oriented. If your pet is used to a specific schedule or routine, I stick to it. That consistency makes a big difference in keeping pets relaxed while you’re away. I also bring a high level of professionalism and trust. I’ve worked with high-end clients and have experience caring for luxury homes, so I understand the importance of discretion, reliability, and respecting your space. As a rental property owner, I treat your home with the same level of care as my own. You’ll also get clear, high-quality photo and video updates during every visit. I run a video production company, so I make sure you’re not just getting a quick snapshot, but a real look at how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable with a wide range of care needs and have a strong understanding of pet behavior, plus direct access to veterinary insight through my sibling, who is a licensed vet with public health expertise (MPH). My goal is simple: make sure your pet is happy, your home is respected, and you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I run a video production company and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. This allows me to plan visits around your pet’s routine and be consistent with timing. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a scheduled walk, I’m able to show up reliably and without rushing. I’m also flexible with transportation and can walk, bike, or drive depending on what’s most efficient for your location. For house sitting I’m happy to spend plenty of time with your pet while keeping their normal routine. My standard house sitting rate includes overnight care and isn’t intended for continuous daytime supervision. If your pet needs someone with them for several hours at a time I’m happy to chat about constant care based on your schedule. I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and everything feels normal to them. When I’m in your space, I treat it the same way I treat my own properties. I keep things clean, follow your instructions closely, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. Nothing gets overlooked. For your pet, I stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, a walk, some playtime, or just hanging out so they’re not alone. I pay attention to how they’re acting and feeling so if anything seems off, it doesn’t go unnoticed. Safety is always top of mind. Leashes, gates, feeding instructions, all the little details are handled the right way every time. And you’ll get solid photo and video updates so you can actually see how your pet is doing, not just a quick check-in. At the end of the day, I just want your pet to feel comfortable in their space and for you to feel like everything’s handled.
“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!”
“Cory continues to take careful and loving care of my puppy Scout, who can be a handful. I come home to a happy and tired puppy in the evenings. Cory does a great job of letting him run and burn off energy!!”
“They were super polite and considerate of my pets' special needs, got lots of great pictures and detailed reports while we were on our trip and my pets were very well taken care of!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Kirkland is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
This was our first experience booking pet care through Rover, and I could not have asked for a better person to care for our cat. Sai followed our care instructions closely, arrived on time, loved on our girl, and went above and beyond when a minor incident occurred in our home. Sai was extremely communicative and responsive, and left us detailed accounts of each of her visits with our cat. I would gladly invite Sai to care for our cat again in the future.
I would give 10 stars if I could. Ning is the cat whisperer! We have one spicy calico who is very particular with new people. Ning won her over in record time (IMMEDIATELY) and got her showing her belly even. Our orange boy is playful and Ning matched his energy. She sends the best pictures and updates, so you’re always reassured your cats are in the best care while you’re away.
Rebekah stopped by to check on my cats for a couple days over the weekend and took great care of them. I got detailed updates with lots of pictures, and she made sure they got treats and playtime. My shy girl Gadget even came out of hiding on the first day, which is always good to see. If the kitties approve, then so do I!
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!

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.
