About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had pets as part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience raising and training reactive dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they love adventure, prefer a quiet routine, or need a little extra understanding. When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident they're being treated like one of my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while following your instructions and routines closely. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks, allowing your pet to stay in the familiar environment of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. During every visit, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals (if requested), and lots of care and affection. I currently do not offer pet boarding or doggy daycare because I have a reactive dog at home, and I want to ensure the safest and least stressful experience for all pets involved. You can count on me to treat your home with respect, follow your care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“Mindi was great with my cats! She was very responsive and a good communicator and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her excellent care, even my special needs kitty. I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Katherine was easy to work with, flexible and really responsive. Our dogs were well cared for and it gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use Katherine again! Highly recommend!”
“Azure takes such amazing care of my girls. She went above and beyond to care for Iris during a medical emergency, her veterinary experience is so valuable and I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter!!”
“Judith came for a meet-and-greet before her drop-in visit was scheduled with Maya. I really appreciate this because it helps Maya to meet someone when I am there before a stranger comes into her house. Judith was on time for her drop-in visit and sent pictures of Maya. She took Maya for a walk, played ball with her in the back yard, and fed Maya lunch. We will definitely use Judith again!”
“Sophia has met with Porter multiple times. She has always been on time and is a good communicator via text. I would recommend her if you're looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I'm in college, studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I've had many types of animals and I've been caring for animals as a way to make money for several years- predominantly dogs. I am free on weekends. I'm usually free on Wednesday and Monday. I'm available at 1pm on Tuesdays, and I'm available on Fridays and Thursdays after 4pm. My cat is indoors, and I make a great deal of effort to keep her that way (she tries to escape a lot). I make sure to keep her happy and entertained, just as I do with my client's pets. When I am in a client's home I ensure adequate care and their animal's safety.
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
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 make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’m reliable, responsible, and love sending picture updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already set aside time each day for walks, play, and feeding, and I enjoy being outdoors and active. I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into both my daily and weekly routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets just as they would, keeping to established schedules, maintaining a familiar environment, and giving them lots of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away
“I really appreciated Ryan taking the time to meet our dogs before our first drop in visit. We came home to 2 very happy and settled dogs who didn’t seem to notice that we had been gone for 11 hours. Would definitely use them again when we have to be gone for extended periods of time. Now Ryan knows the dogs love of playing fetch, they might up the ante next time! Thank you again.”
“Yvonne relays such friendly and enjoyable commentary and pictures to each walk. All while taking care of business for a great walk, potty times and feeding. She does a great job!”
“Wonderful experience with Allison. Our cats connected with Allison and were very happy. When we returned home the cats came running to the door and seemed disappointed that we were not Allison. Thanks for the great cat sitting experience.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and other pets my whole life, but since opening my own business and having my son I just don’t have time to own a pet full time. So I figured this would be a good way to get to love on other peoples pups when it works for my schedule. I am self employed so my schedule can be semi flexible. I don’t work on the weekends, but I could also potentially bring a dog to my business as well on days that I work, depending on the dog of course. I have a fenced yard, a big field/park right across the street, a dog park a mile away, and a doggy door that could fit a dog up to about 50 lbs. I also own a small salon with accident safe flooring and a space right outside the door for potty breaks if I ever needed to bring a dog to work with me.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lynden is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lynden
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 857 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
