“Shana is amazing!!!! She was so wonderful with my sensitive kitty, Aspen. She gave fantastic updates, took some amazing pictures, and treated Aspen like her own. I am so grateful! Thank you Shana!”
“Caroline exceeded my expectations as a pet sitter. She maintained excellent communication, was reliably on time, and followed all care instructions with attention to detail. Most importantly, she showed genuine care for our kitty, providing thoughtful updates and ensuring our kitty was happy and well looked after. I would definitely work with her again.”
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.
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.
About: I am currently new to Rover but I am an experienced dog walker. I have taken care of 20+ dogs in King County and have received many five star reviews regarding my on-demand dog walking service. I understand the body language of dogs and know how to communicate with dogs effectively. I also know the area well and know where to go for walks to ensure a safe and fun experience. I work flexible hours and can easily move things around to do pet care. I am normally available every day except for Sundays. I have done dog walking in the morning, around noon and in the evening. I have done dozens of on-demand dog walking. Every dog is unique. But yet they all share the same need of love and care. I aspire to make the dog walks safe, fun and full of love.

“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.”
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: I cared for my sweet dog for 17 years, as well as looked after other neighbor dogs. I have spare time now and love walking and being around dogs. In the last few years I took care of my elderly dog who lived to be 17 years old, so I am familiar with elderly dogs needs and pace of life. I work very part-time with a flexible schedule, so have lots of times available in and around my neighborhood. I love spending time with dogs! Having had dog sitters for many years, and taken care of my own and others dogs, I have many years experience with many types of dogs, to the shy and the very active dogs as well as elderly dogs.
“Viktoriia was amazing. She helped taking care of my two cats last week with drop in visits. She was very responsible with feeding the cats food, cleaning up their waste, and playing with them every day. I would love to reach out to Viktoriia again in the future.”
“Katie was great! Very quick to respond and so friendly! She gave our kitty very good care and attention while we were away and gave really great updates and pictures. We felt good knowing our girl was in good hands. Would highly recommend Katie for your fur baby!”
“Xinyu was extremely friendly, thoughtful, and took outstanding care of our three cats while we were away for a week. It is so nice to have someone who is so familiar with cat care looking after your cats. We received daily updates with cute pictures that brought us so much joy. Thank you, Xinyu!”
“Connie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took such good care of our dogs and you can tell they absolutely loved her coming over to see them each day. We will absolutely be booking her again to take care of our dogs!”
About: I have two adorable cats chestnut and walnut. And I have another dog Oreo. They are all friendly and nice. I would love to enjoy the time with your pets. I am not available Monday, Thursday and Friday. But other days I am pretty free. Also feel free to reach to check if I am available or not even at the last minute! I will say my apartment can only stay for one more small pet, since there are two cats already. But I am flexible to chat.
About: I have 9 years of dog care experience. My customers are always happy with my work and keep returning for my services. I will take good care of your babies and give them all the love and affection while you are away. I will leave your place as clean (or cleaner) as you left it. I'm available full-time. I can walk your pets or stay with them at your house. Pets are my passion and spending time with them makes me happy. I always respect and follow your rules for your pets and house. Safety and well-being for everyone is my priority. I am tidy, clean, and trustworthy.

I can't recommend Yifan enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my kitten and went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for. Yifan is incredibly thoughtful, attentive, responsible, and responsive. She sent me tons of adorable photos and videos during every visit, along with detailed updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out to me was how much she genuinely loves cats. It's so clear that she cares about their happiness and well-being, and treats them like her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
Sixin took wonderful care of my cat dingding while I was away. She didn't just cover the basics — she spent real time playing with my cat, and it was clear my cat felt comfortable and relaxed around her. Her updates were regular and reassuring, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.
Logan was wonderful with Ginger kitty. Ginger is very skittish and skeptical of new people and Logan was able to earn trust over the time she cared for her. She brought her treats (with permission) and offered to pick up more cat food when we weren't sure if the shipment of new food was going to arrive on time. I met with her a few times and she was very kind and caring. I highly recommend her.
Xueyan was an amazing pet sitter. She was very friendly, on time, and communicative. She took lots of photos and made sure I was aware of everything along the way. She took excellent care of Lizzee and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend and would definitely hire again.
Candice did a great job taking care of my cat and our house while we were away. Nugget clearly liked her from the second they met at the meet & greet. And I can tell from the photos from her visits that they had a good time together. Candice also took care of all the incoming packages and mail, and took out the trash, which went above and beyond. Thanks Candice!
Fantastic visits from Natalia as always! Really appreciate working with me and my requests, and providing the cutest photos while we are away. It’s wonderful to see my cats so comfortable with her so quickly, that truly is a feat on its own. Also always appreciate the attention to detail and watching out for the cats well-being when noticing changes or different behaviors. Natalia communicates so well, asks the right questions, an overall fantastic sitter!
Christina was wonderful with Tiger! She was very attentive and responsible, replied quickly, and communicated clearly throughout the booking. She sent plenty of photos and updates, so we always knew how he was doing, and Tiger clearly enjoyed his time with her. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely book Christina again!
Laura is top tier. She is consistent, reliable, detail-oriented and communicates clearly. She demonstrates high ownership of her work and acts like a leader when preparing and caring for our two Boston Terriers. She is super sweet to them and it genuinely feels like she likes them in the way she engages with them and spends time with them. We are repeat customers with Laura and are grateful for her partnership. Hire her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kirkland is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.
As of November 2026, there are 12,129 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kirkland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
