“Charlotte was the perfect house guest and we would gladly have her watch our house and Arlo again. She was very responsive, sent photos, and took Arlo for long walks. Super grateful that we found her as last minute as we did and would highly recommend.”
“What a wonderful young woman Kaitlyn is, sweet, polite, and most of all great with dogs. She’s probably good with all animals we will certainly be using her in the future.”
“Angelica has been absolutely amazing! She’s always flexible with my schedule and keeps me updated on the status of my three dogs, which gives me so much peace of mind. She’s been my go-to sitter ever since, and I completely trust her with my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kyle did an amazing watching our 2 dogs over a long weekend - 1 of which is a 10 month old lab puppy with tons of energy. He was communicative and I knew our boys were in great hands.”
“Emma was a great sitter for our 3 cat babies. She was always quick to respond, left the place very clean, and gave them plenty of attention. Some of our cats can be slow to warm up to humans, but that wasn't the case with Emma (they seemed pretty comfortable around her and didn't hide right away). She also took care of our house plants. Would recommend Emma to anyone.”
“Bricca is awesome! She watched my dog and my home for a week and provided daily pics of Poppy for me. She’s an excellent communicator. The house was just as I’d left it and she laundered everything she used. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Maya stayed at our home overnight for about a week with our two cats. We returned to relaxed cats that had been fed, loved on and played with. She sent regular photos that helped us feel connected. Our home including the kitchen and their space was also spotless which we didn't ask for but was Totally appreciated! We recommend using Maya to take care of your pets!”
“Juan was great with our big fur-baby Tristin! Juan took Tristin on a few adventures while we were gone. When I was getting my post vacation snuggles with Tristin he told me it was fun to be a big boy dog while mom and dad were on vacation. 🐾❤️”
“Katlyn and Ashley are wonderful dog sitters for our girls. We have a pup who needs medications for seizures and another who is a guardian breed and needs extra attention. They were attentive to the dogs, sent pics, communicated well, and most importantly gave us peace of mind! We will definitely have them care for the pups again!”
“You will not find a better Rover than Nancy. Nancy came to meet my 2 older dogs before the 7 day housesitting. She asked so many questions that no other Rover has ever asked. It was clear she cared about the well being of the dogs and the house. I get so anxious leaving one of my dogs, an English bulldog, because he has so many health conditions and behavior traits of an older dog that require care and patience. She treated him as though he was her own dog. So much care and patience and kindness and understanding. He was so stressed when I left, by the 2nd day you could see he was back to himself and comfortable with her. Not only that but she was also so kind to me with my anxious questions and worry. She was so communicative and detailed that I became at ease and could enjoy my vacation. My other dog is almost the complete opposite as my bulldog. She is a lab mix and can use good walks. Nancy took her on probably better walks than we do! She sent me photos multiple times throughout the day with thoughtful messages. Our house was well cared for and so clean when my husband got home. She is hands down one of the best dog sitters we have ever had over our 5 years using Rover!! I give my highest recommendation for her and will seek out her services before any one else as long as she is in the Seattle area! Thank you so much Nancy!”
“Saint, you did a great job looking after Buddy. I don’t know if you heard him, but he was upset and barking from the windows as he watched you leave the house. Thanks again. (I work for Rover.)”
“Arielle helped us out during an emergency when our other sitter cancelled and took over our dog's care. She was communicative, responsive, and respectful of the house. Our dog was so content and well socialized during his time with Arielle. Already have her booked for house sitting again.”
“Sebastian did a great job watching my golden retriever! He made sure she got lots of attention and walks throughout the day, and the house was spotless when I returned. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kristy is amazing and we are so lBlessed to have her watch Kaya and Big. Genuine, caring and authentic care for our doggies this weekend. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that the doggies are in great care and hands with Kristy.”
About: I've been around pets since before I can remember. I've walked and watched dogs and cats numerous times. I'd love to accommodate to any weird/out of the norm for your pets/furry companions, every pet have their own personality and quirks. Big dogs have my heart and devotion, and little dogs deserve all sorts of care and attention I am totally open on weekends, whether it be walks, visits, or just to keep them company. And during the week days I'm available at select times. Feel free to reach out with any questions or inquiries:) I always want to be accommodating to every furry friend, I know with every personality comes specific needs. Just let me know what they need! Currently my apartment is not large enough for dog sitting.
“Merilee did a great job taking care of our pets while we were gone for over a week. The communication was great, Merilee took a genuine interest in their health and well being and we came back to a well taken care of house and happy pets.”
“Abigail did a great job house sitting and was super responsive. I have a big, rambunctious, reactive dog but Abigail took it in stride. I live in an apartment so my dog requires a lot of walks and creativity to keep her entertained and Abigail handled everything well. I came home to a clean place and a happy pup!”

We had Erica back to house sit out dogs and rabbit a second time and she did a great job again. Our house was spotless when we came home and our dogs were relaxed and happy. Communication during the stay was great and she helped out with a few small requests I had around the house as I remembered them. I am planning to have her house sit for us again and gladly recommend her.
We would absolutely recommend Sherri. She took the time to drop by twice to meet us and our furry family prior to looking after them all for just over a week. She was calm and relaxed with our dog who takes a while to warm up to people, recognising that she just needs to come to being comfortable with new people in her own time. Our opinionated and determined, elderly cats took a shine to her quickly and Sherri was willing to work with them so they would be able to get some outdoor time while she was watching them. As it turned out they were able to just continue their normal routine which kept them very content. Sherri's communication was excellent throughout the entire time and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our furries and home were in safe hands. We had another booking with Sherri in place before we got back!
Jeanie was such a great sitter! Took lovely care of my dogs and was so easy to work with. It was raining the last afternoon she was with them and she took them out three times to get them to go potty before I got home. It’s a small thing but it was soooooo appreciated that I didn’t need to walk them as soon as I got home from traveling. I would definitely recommend her!!!
Lynlee has been nothing short of incredible for our family and pets. Having two large dogs makes it hard to travel and we really haven’t done much of it. Having somebody reliable who takes such good care of our dogs has given us the confidence to go on our first trip in years! Cannot recommend her enough.
Morgan did a great job of taking care of our rambunctious 8 month old puppy and our house for over a week while we were on vacation. She sent daily photos of the dog and was quick to get in touch when she had any questions. Our house was clean when we returned and the puppy was happy.
Danielle is a fantastic sitter! She did an amazing job watching our 2 pups for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. She communicated frequently on how they were doing and sent cute pics. I did not worry one bit knowing they were in her care, and she also took awesome care of our home! I highly recommend Danielle and will certainly be contacting her again! Frankie and Jarle say “thank you Danielle for staying with us”!!
Kaitlin took great care of Sully and Mia while we were away! She was thorough, asked all the right questions upfront, and communicated really well throughout the stay. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in good hands and came home to two very happy dogs. Would definitely book Kaitlin again!
Catie was an exceptional sitter for our 9month old dog Sage. She stayed in our house for 8 nights and left the space as clean as she arrived. She took great care of Sage, taking her to dog parks and walks. She was attentive and asked questions. She checked in daily. I never had a worry about Sages care. We will hopefully be booking her again in the future.
Joe was amazing. He brought his dog Tala along for the sit. My dogs loved her. She is sweet, well mannered, and very well trained. They both entertained and exercised my two year old Viszla. Which is a lot of work! When I came home my house was cleaner than I left it. I would highly recommend Joe and Tala. Thank you so much Joe!
Elaina was amazing with our dog! She took her for so many excursions, sent tons of photos, was very communicative, and treated our girl with as much love as we do! She left our house cleaner than how we left it and I think she even gave our dog a bath! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience!
We loved having Renee over to take care of our cat! While my cat was very shy and still adapting to our new home, she was in great hands the whole time. This is the first trip we're using Renee and the first trip where we came home to the cat being excited instead of upset. She even helped tidy up the place before leaving which is sweet and special. Thank you!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lynnwood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lynnwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Lynnwood 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
