“Nancy was amazing! She gave us daily updates on our cat and dog along with pictures during her stay. The animals enjoyed their time with her and we came back to the house looking even cleaner then we left it. We will 100% be using her again!”
“Highly recommend Mackenzie! Super responsive, attentive to our pup, and left the house and room where she stayed impeccably clean. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Angelica was amazing! She stayed in our home with our dogs, sent lots of photos and videos. Both dogs were so comfortable and loved her. Our house was left in great condition when we got home. We would love to use Angelica again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah was amazing!! Our other cat sitter had to cancel 1 week before our trip due to a family emergency so we were in a bit of a panic when we reached out to Hannah. Lucky for us, Hannah responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to come by for a meet and greet the next day. She showed up on time and our cats liked her right away! She was very personable and asked great questions. She reached out the day before our trip and while we were gone for 4 days, she checked in 1-2 times each day which was so great! She sent lots of great photos and a video or two which we loved!! We could tell our cats were happy with her. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home which we always appreciate. We will absolutely ask Hannah to come back again for future trips! 😸😸”
“Zachary did an exceptional job on watching all my fur babies. He followed directions for care perfectly. I highly recommend him for a sitter for both dogs and cats. I look forward to booking him in the future.”
“Sofie was fortunate to spend more time with Carina while we were out of town for a few days. Sofie is always happy when we come home and very well taken care of. Carina always goes above and beyond and we look forward to her next visit with our pup!”
“Kristen did a great job unfortunately we didn’t need her for the whole week but she did come in early one day and check on Rodney and the chickens and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Great job. Look forward to working with you in the future.”
“Cindy stayed at our home with our dog and two cats for two nights. She was wonderful with them and sent us daily photos and updates. She took great care of our pets and home and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you Cindy!”
“Sebastian did a great job taking care of our dog Tobin who is both leash reactive and epileptic. Sebastian gave our dog her meds on time and made sure she was happy and well-cared for. We appreciated the updates and pictures we got throughout the sit and look forward to using Sebastian as a dog and house sitter again in the future.”
“John watched our rambunctious 80 pound German Shepherd for the first time and he had great communication with us the entire time which eased my anxiety of leaving her with a new person. He got to the house exactly when he said he would and spent the entire day hanging out with her. Everything went really smoothly and we will definitely use him again because he is reliable and a good communicator.”
“Kaitlyn and Sheri are wonderful! They took such good care of our diabetic cat while we were on vacation and had excellent communication. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“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.”
“Bricca is the best. Took great care of animals, left house in perfect condition, and was great communicator. Only problem is by leaving this review you’re going to want to book her!”
“Kory was polite, professional and easy to communicate with as well as tidy and respectful. The dogs were well taken care of and in good form when we got back from our vacation. We had complete peace of mind knowing Kory had things under control. Will definitely look to Kory for future dog sits.”
“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.”
“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.)”
“Holly is an absolute dream to work with! We feel so comfortable knowing she is with our animals. Communication is easy and we always feel looped in to how our pets are doing while we're away.”

Carina is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog Mason loves all the attention he gets when she comes to stay. Communication is great with pictures and updates every day. She has helped us twice and we will definitely be asking for her help again in the near future. We highly recommend Carina!
Zachary set-up a meet and greet to ensure chemistry, a good fit, etc. On the day of arrival he was on-time. Throughout the day he provided periodic updates with photos. I appreciate his kindness and gentleness as my dog is older with some special needs. Would definitely have him again!
Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.
Elaina is truly the best, my pup adores being sat by her and I love having updates about Rocco throughout the day. I am confident leaving my puppy with her and always come home to such excellent, thoughtful care. And we know puppies are a handful! Thank you Elaina!
Erica was great working with us to take care of our animals when I went into labor. She even missed a trip, which we truly appreciated so we knew our furbabies were going to be taken care of while we were in the hospital! She made up my bed and straightened up things in the house before she left, which was such a relief coming home with our newborn!
Lynlee was just as great as I expected. We’ve used for drop-in visits a few times, and this was our first housesitting with her. She gave great updates, took adorable pics of my pups, and most importantly, took amazing care of them. Left my house exactly the way I left it, trusted her completely, never worried about my pups for a moment. Highly recommend!
Bryanna was by far the best sitter we’ve gotten through Rover 🐶. She was very communicative with us about everything she was doing/when she’d be home from work, and sent lots of pictures. Our house was left clean and the dogs were happy when we got back definitely booking again!
Ellyssa and Hunter took wonderful care of our Dachshund, Bentley, while house-sitting. They were communicative, professional, respectful of our home, and incredibly kind and patient with Bentley's quirks. They quickly understood his personality, and he warmed up to them right away - playing, lounging in the sun, and enjoying plenty of blanket snuggles. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was so comfortable and well cared for while we were away. We've already booked them for our next trip and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!
Amy and our almost 3-year old puppy have quickly become best buds. I knew the first time we met Amy that would be the case. She sends us photos of Inky who always looks like she's very relaxed or having fun or both. I would definitely recommend anyone to hire Amy to take care of their 4-legged family members except when we need her!!
David was great with the dogs and always gave sent us pics of their adventures. He was dog sitting our pups at our home and left our home in the same condition that we left it. David was very professional, communicative, and understanding. Our dogs had a great time with David, and they were missing him by the end.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lynnwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lynnwood on Rover is $74.9 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,432 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lynnwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lynnwood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
