“Denise took care of our puppy Frankie and we were very happy with her care. We felt comfortable leaving our puppy there and would definitely use her again. Thanks Denise”
About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.
“I can’t recommend this sitter enough! Shawn sends updates throughout the day and truly treated my dog like she was one of his own. My dog struggles with separation anxiety and she was actually bursting out of the car to go to this house. Shawn is super easy to communicate with and pickup/drop off were seamless. Simply a delight.”
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”

“Carl does a great job with Zoe! He has a large backyard where Zoe can play and relax, and he is very comfortable with her and other dogs. She has taken a liking to him when I am away at work. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter. Zoe will continue to go to be with him for the foreseeable future.”
“Iona was so fantastic with our 6 month old puppy. She managed medications, feeding schedules, swinging activity levels and kept our home clean during it all. She was also great with communication. Thanks Iona!”
“Shalaine took amazing care of my dog Milo💕very welcoming and provided updates, Milo got to have the best day playing with their family and dogs and came home happy and relaxed! Will definitely book again in the future😊”

“Excellent with our Pippin! I was super nervous about leaving him in any doggy daycare but Tony made sure we felt comfortable with the process! Will definitely be back.”
“Catherine and her husband were so kind and caring to our little teddy. Teddy seemed to really enjoy dog Bella. My husband and I had a few hours to ourselves, knowing Teddy was in good care. When we picked him up,Teddy was happy and we could tell he had a good visit. I will most definitely book Catherine again I. The near future.”
“It was our first time with Oriana, and she was amazing! She sent me videos, photos, and updates throughout the day, so I was sure that Emilia was well cared for and had a great time. Oriana and her husband spent a lot of time playing with her, and it was clear that Emilia felt happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the love and attention they gave her and will definitely book with her again”
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
“It was our first time leaving Darby with anyone other than family but our worries were unfounded. Minerva was amazing, Darby had so much fun and was so well taken care of in Minerva's home. We will certainly continue to have Minerva help us out!”
“Anne (and Macy) were great ! We had a meet and greet visit and left feeling confident that Deuce would be in good hands. We may need a couple of more trial sessions before both the dogs are comfortable. Definitely recommend Anne - you can see her genuine care and love for animals.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lynden commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 169 sitters in Lynden, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
