“Shana was super responsive and constantly kept in touch. Her reports were detailed and she made sure to play with Garfield and kept him happy, we'll fed and his litter box clean. I would recommend her.”
“Sandra was so great! She checked in a bunch, and was so lovely with my animals. She even straightened up a bit! Highly recommend! I will be booking with her into the future, instead of trying to rope in friends/family. Thank you Sandra!”
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.
“Caroline was great with my cat. She was attentive, followed all instructions carefully, and was very detail-oriented. She even stayed longer to keep him company, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“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!”
“Logan was great with my over excited puppy. On time, gave her good attention and walked and played with her. She came early to meet the puppy and listened to and alleviated all of my concerns walking this first time rover user through the process.”
“Laura was amazing with Bear- I am so grateful for her help! Our little Bear can be fearful of new people, and Laura was kind and patient with her, which worked very well, allowing me to leave my little Bear with confidence- thank you so much, Laura! My home was also left safe, clean, and secure!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors and friends have always come to me for caring for their dogs while they are away. I have a part time job currently so I am available for walking or drop in visits during days and/or hours I am not working that job. I am experienced with walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also very comfortable and trustworthy to go into your home to take care of your dog while you are away.
“Ni took great care of my cat! She is always on time very nice and gentle with my cat, and also playing with her a lot. So many lovely pictures and videos taken and sent to us, really appreciate everything!”
“Brittany was really good with communication and took multiple pictures every visit. She was good about reporting everything she did and was very considerate. I would recommend her to pet sit as she is thorough and considerate!”
“Hailey looked after our two cats while we were gone for 10 days. She was great, both during the meet up before we left and during the time we were away. On time, caring and very responsive. We are glad we have found someone reliable to take care of our furry family members while we are away.”
“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.”
About: I am passionate about the safety, happiness, and health of all animals. I have a dog of my own who is my entire world, and I have 10+ years of experience caring for friends and family pets. I grew up in Kirkland and love walking the areas many walking trails and routes. I would love to provide your pet with exercise and companionship. I live in downtown Kirkland and am able to do quick walks or check ins easily. I work as a teacher so afternoons are open for me, and summers I am available all the time! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work hard to create a calm, secure, and predictable environment—whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits. In your home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s usual routine so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes at all times, and I stay aware of surroundings on walks to keep your pet safe—especially around other dogs, traffic, and busy areas. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and any triggers ahead of time (like reactivity on walks), so I can handle situations confidently and avoid unnecessary stress. You can also expect clear communication from me, with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Kirkland is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kirkland
Rebekah was incredibly responsive and sensitive to me and to my three cats. My cats seemed relaxed when I returned home, and well-cared for. She will -- I hope-- be taking care of them again when I spent a month away in February. And those little trips in between...
Shana was amazing with our 2 cats!! I cannot recommend her enough. She followed all instructions, was super accommodating with last minute changes, and provided detailed updates. Both cats got a lot of play time too, which was super important to us. Shana, thank you so much for all your help!! Cats were healthy and happy when we got home. 😻
I cannot recommend Jessilea and her daughter, Leandra, highly enough! They took exceptional care of our two cats, Saba and Uni, while we were away. Uni is extremely shy, has anxiety, and requires daily medication, which can be quite challenging. Jessilea and Leandra were incredibly patient, creative, and gentle in finding ways to earn his trust and successfully give him his medication every single day. That alone gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was obvious from the start that they truly love cats and are very knowledgeable about feline behavior. They didn’t just feed and care for them, they spent quality time playing with them, brushing them, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were in such caring and capable hands made all the difference. Jessilea and Leandra did a fantastic job, and we will absolutely hire them again. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced cat sitters!
Fanghua is an amazing pet sitter! She is reliable, caring, and very attentive. She took great care of my pet and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kirkland on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 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.

- 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.
