About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!

About: Living out in the county,I have had and been around animals of all kinds since I was 8. I love taking are of animals and with my current nursing school schedule, sitting has become a great way to make money doing something I enjoy. I am currently attending nursing school which consists of hybrid courses. So it has left me with enough time to be able to care for pets before and after classes. Sitting is a great way for me to make money while also allowing me enough time to study and isn’t as time consuming like a part time job. I do work 12 hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays though, so I am willing to sit on those days if the owners are okay with them being alone for that long or have other arrangements for them to be let out on those days. I will care for the pets the exact way you want me to. If they need to be crated and let out more frequently, I am willing to make it work. If they can be left out in a fenced in yard and just need to checked on every so often, I can do that too! I’m very flexible as every situation is different!

About: I have 4 years of professional boarding facility experience and am fully trained in administering oral medications, pill pockets, and topical treatments (no injections, please!). I'm an expert at reading animal body language and feel entirely comfortable managing all temperaments, including reactive, anxious, or aggressive pets. I am free anytime for drop in visits or walking your pets! I am a college student so I am only available on the holiday breaks! As a proud dog parent to two pups of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve endless love, patience, and undivided attention. My home is a space built on safety and routine, and I bring that exact same dedicated, protective care to your doorstep. Whether your pet needs a high-energy playmate, a calming presence to soothe their anxiety, or precise medication management, my priority is keeping them safe, secure, and completely comfortable until you return. You can relax knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same deep affection, respect, and vigilant care that I give my own every single day.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life (I currently have two dogs and four cats) and consider them part of my family. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've often provided care for the pets of my friends and coworkers. I retired a few years ago and now only seek jobs involving animals. For two years, I worked for a Cane Corso breeder caring for his dogs and their puppies - a wonderful job for me. Currently, I work part-time at a small horse ranch where I care for and love two horses and one pony - another wonderful job. If you're looking for someone to take care of your pets (dogs, cats, horses, ponies or really just about anything - haha), just let me know. I have a deep love for all animals and nature and am very reliable. I'll take good care of them while you're away. I retired a few years ago and currently have a small part-time job at a local horse farm doing morning chores and feeding lunch four days a week. I'm pretty flexible with my schedule. I have a deep love for all animals and treat them with kindness and respect. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I'm very reliable and will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have plenty of experience with both cats and dogs. Growing up I had two cats and one medium sized dog we rescued. At 16, I started working at a pet boarding facility. I did that for about 3 years in addition to regularly volunteering at my local animal shelters. I have personally worked with my fair share of puppies and sick barn cats. I now have a German Shepherd and I hope to one day run my own mini farm! I currently run my own business (remote) so I have lots of free time to care for people’s pets! I love animals so I figured this is the perfect way to spend my free time and help other pet parents with trustworthy, reliable service. Every pet is different and may have different needs. I always listen to my clients specific needs for their pet and follow their guidance first. That being said; In general, I make sure there is fresh clean drinking water, meals are fed, and medications are administered at the proper time. I also clean up after any messes that may be left behind (potty accidents, messy eaters, etc). Play time, a trip outside, and some snuggles is also always on the agenda. I also love to send photo/video updates so you can see that your pet is happy and healthy.

About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a little kid, ranging from mini Australian shepherds to retrievers, labs and German shepherds. This means I have experience training young puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience with taking dogs on runs (since I love to run), which helps with high-energy dogs. I love dogs and am more than happy to help other people with pet care since I know finding the right person for the job can be difficult. :) I’m a teacher so this summer I’m earning some extra cash by nannying and dogsitting. I’m available 4-5 days a week including the weekends (and have no problem helping in the early mornings and late nights), so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m very willing to fit multiple in-house visits and dog walking/running into my routine. I care for pets in my clients’ homes so I am skilled in giving all pets the attention they need both inside and outside the home, including playing with them, taking them on walks and runs, or just sitting down and keeping them company depending on the age and needs they require. I take pride in fulfilling all pets’ routines and owners’ expectations.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love spending time with them. I now have more time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for dogs who need some TLC. I had a senior pug who sadly rent over the rainbow bridge last year. The last few years she was with me, I had to give her medication, take care of her eyes and give her a special diet. I also had a lab who developed cancer and needed medication and a special diet. I feel I would be a perfect person to care for special needs dogs. I am retired so I have time to care for your pet from my home with frequent walks and/or bathroom breaks around our 5 acre property. I live on 5 acres. I do not have a fenced yard but take multiple walks throughout the day so your dog would be safely walked on a leash.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

About: Born with a dog-shaped hole in my heart, one that could only be filled by meeting every dog on the planet. Pinocchio, my initial dachshund mentor at the tender age of one, set me on this fateful path. At the ripe old age of 13, I launched a dog-walking empire to fund a 7th-grade DC school escapade! My parents' house and its surrounding sidewalk have seen more tail wags than a dog park. I'm here to bring genuine, doggone love to every woof in Northwest Washington! As a freelance videographer and editor I am in the unique position to have the flexibility in my schedule to fit your every need. My weeks all look different but I can move things around to make things work. While I’m unable to host your delightful fur-babies in my home at this moment I hope that this will be a service that I can offer in the near future.

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :) I currently nanny part time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with most shifts being about 6 hrs. Otherwise I am open for pet bookings at all other times! I am comfortable with harnesses, collars, and different leash styles, as well as crates. I am respectful of each home I work in, loving towards each pet, and will communicate with you throughout.

I first met Katherine on Rover.com and have been booking her directly for the past 9 months to care for my 85 lb Labrador. She has been wonderful with her and has truly helped me raise her into a happy, well-behaved dog. Katherine is incredibly reliable and caring. She always makes sure my girl gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and loving attention, which has made a huge difference. With my busy schedule, she has been such a huge help and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.I’ve really come to trust her and look forward to every booking. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lynden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lynden on Rover is $21.4 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 822 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lynden. 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 Lynden 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.

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 Lynden 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lynden with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lynden. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
