“Emma has been a big help with our dog, Luna. We reached out to her last minute as I had ankle surgery and was unable to do the daily walks. Emma was available immediately. She is also very patient with our puppy, who was wary of a new person walking her, and Emma understands how dogs work..you have to go with their flow, and not force them. It's been wonderful having Emma to help walk our dog.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and I have successfully off-leash trained my own dog. I have also been dog sitting and house sitting for members of my community since I was 14. I can match any energy level your pup may have, and their happiness is my top priority. I’m working part-time from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so I will be able to fit your dogs needs into my schedule no matter what. I have experience crating and uncrating dogs, as well as using different types of harnesses and leashes for walks . I’ll make sure poop is picked up and your yard stays clean, and that your pup is as comfortable and happy as possible before I leave.

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I currently have an 8 month old puppy and 2 cats who are a year and a half, so I know how hard it is to have to leave your babies. I’ll make your pet feel comfortable and give them the love they’re missing while you’re away. I know that each animal and owner has unique preferences and routines, so I do my best to keep your pets as close to their norm as possible. Baby or senior, active lifestyle or couch potato, I’ll be right there with your pet doing whatever makes them happiest! Starting in October, I will have a work schedule that can be built around your pets’ schedule, so please just let me know what your pet needs! For house sitting services- I am happy to stay over at your home and care for your dog or cat in any way they need! For dog walking services- I can walk your dog wherever would make you feel safest and most comfortable. If your dog likes dog parks, I have a few that I trust and take my dog to regularly. My apartment building also has a fenced, off-leash dog area that rarely has any other dogs in it and I’d be happy to run around with your dog there as well.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I have experience with all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, mice, and fish. I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering with the Humane Society for 5 years which has given me even more experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I currently have one dog and two cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ When your pets are in my care, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether they need walks, playtime, meals on a specific schedule, medication reminders, lots of cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away. I’m also very comfortable around animals who may be shy, nervous, or need a little extra patience and reassurance. 🐶🐱🐰 I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, which is why I want to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and being well cared for. 📸🐾 I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need a loving, trustworthy caregiver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! 🐾💕 I work fully remote so I will be able to care for your pets Because I work fully remote, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m able to work around your pet’s individual routine, including regular walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Working from home also means I’m often available throughout the day, which makes me a great fit for pets who enjoy having someone around or need extra attention and companionship while their family is away. I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving, pet-friendly environment where they can receive plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and cuddles. I’m happy to maintain their normal feeding, walking, and potty routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their established routine and keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I understand that staying in their familiar surroundings can be especially important for pets who may be nervous or anxious. Because I work fully remotely, I’m able to provide frequent companionship and attention throughout the day. I also make sure to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: Although Dogs came into my life much later than cats, they have become such an important part of my life. I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever, and have helped with and loved on my friend's and family's dogs for the better part of 10 years. I love dog walking, running, and playing fetch! I'd love to help your pup get some exercise too. I'm currently working part-time so will have lots of availability for drop-ins and walks. Let's connect and see if we can setup a routine. I have flexibility to adapt my schedule. I have a small fenced yard, a pup that loves to play and walk, and three cats. Although I am not able to offer care in my home right now, I would be happy to bring my pup along for a playdate or walk if this would benefit everyone.

About: We have a medium-sized dog that plays well with dogs of all sizes! I’ve grown up taking care of our family pets, and customers and friends’ pets are treated like family members. I work from home full time, and I can provide reliable care with proper breaks. I believe socializing, mental stimulation and playing outside during the day are vital to the overall health of pets. I take care of dogs at our home and can offer pick up and drop off for a fee. Dogs have an outdoor and indoor water dispenser and they can be fed separately if needed.

About: Hi my names Lynnea. I absolutely adore animals! I have plenty of years of experience with animals from both family dogs and cats or caring for other people’s animals while they are away. I currently have 3 dogs with my partner, Filipp, who we love and adore. I’m currently available to for walks and give your pup attention as if they were my own! I just recently graduated college, so I currently have plenty of availability to help you and your pups while I look for full time work :) In our home our dogs are family, and that’s how I will treat your pets, with structure and lots of love. Depending on your dog(s), we can go for sniff walks or go for long walks to burn some energy (possibly a stop at a park if necessary).

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I love being there for them. I have experience caring for pets and following their daily routines, including feeding, exercise, and giving lots of affection. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I have two cats (fur babies) of my own and have lived with dogs, cats, and reptiles all throughout my life. My goal is to provide loving and reliable care so that both pets and their families feel comfortable and at ease. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time each day to providing attentive, reliable care and making sure pets feel loved and secure. I know how important reliability and being there for them as a routine is what matters the most! I have two very friendly young cats (both are 1 years old). I provide plenty of comfort with dedicated play toys to stimulate their minds. I have a set routine with feed them at the same time every day. They are constantly cleaned after, well groomed and get consistent baths to help with hygiene and their coats. I have even taught them to be supervised on a harness outside! How I would care for pets in clients home would go as far beyond as I care for mine. My goal to to make sure a fur baby (or non) is well taken care of. Cleanliness, interactive time, chill time, are all important parts. Working with the style they're most familiar with is something I love to incorporate as well. Whether its cats, dogs or even reptiles, I will try to bring not only exceptional service but one to count on

About: I’ve had situations where I’ve help dogs give birth and even accompanying them through death, I’ve been through love and heartbreak with these beautiful creatures and plan on making their experience through life an amazing journey for them. I myself have a big pitbull who requires much love and attention and I always do everything in my hands to keep her heart and tummy always full. We have this mutual care for eachother, she takes care of me and I take care of her. I personally prefer to care for your furry friend at home because at my home I have a pitbull who is not at all friendly with other animals and I feel more comfortable caring for pets at their owners home for this very reason.

About: I have worked with both baby and senior animals so I know the ways of navigating not only their needs but personalities. I own a cat but he enjoys being in the room so your pet will get the whole living room to explore and relax in. I live on the bottom floor so if your pet has trouble going up and down stairs that should be no problem I am a barista so I work at 4-11AM and my significant other works at 7AM so if their staying over night they would only be alone for 4 hours but I’m available everyday after 11am 4 days a week I’m also willing to compromise and change my work hours I’m very good at following directions so whatever you need me to do for your pet I will do my very best to make sure all needs and wants are met will also give lots of updates and photos if requested

Angelica was wonderful! She was right on time, very friendly, and had such great energy. It is clear she has a natural way with dogs. These walks were meant to help Buddy get to know her before she dog sits for us, and they went perfectly. Angelica asked all the right questions, which showed how thoughtful and attentive she is when it comes to caring for pets. She was really sweet with Buddy and took the time to make sure he felt comfortable. We really liked her and got along great, and Buddy clearly enjoyed his time with her. We’re feeling very confident about the dog sit!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lynnwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lynnwood on Rover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $43 per walk. walkers 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 October 2026, there are 10,900 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lynnwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lynnwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lynnwood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
