“I have a 13 yo German Wire Haired pointer that due to arthritis is not able to accompany me anymore on long day trips. For the first time, and with no small amount of anxiety, I left him in the care of Hattie for a drop in visit mid-day and a walk. She was kind, caring, prompt and provided photos and a “report” of the walk so that I could enjoy my day away and know my dog was well cared for! Merry Christmas to me!”
“Samah took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Everyday we received photos of them and knew they were being well cared for. Her son even left the most adorable drawings of each cat that are now being proudly displayed on our fridge. You can rest assured that with Samah your pets will be loved as if they are her own.”
“Great experience overall. Very responsive, kept us updated with lots of great photos, and took excellent care of our pets. We felt totally at ease while we were away. Would absolutely book again.”
“My second time booked with Shannon. Shannon took great care of my cat, great communication, and sending me pictures for each visit! Thank you so much for taking care of my cat again!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love nothing more than to give fur babies my undivided attention! Since moving to Washington 5 years ago, I’ve been caring for friends/neighbors' pets, taking them on walks, feeding them, playing, and watching them while they are out of town. I just adopted my own mixed pup from Seattle Humane in April; let me spoil your sweet kitties and pups! I can work from home most days, and set my own schedule for the most part, so I am able to take short breaks to take pets on walks or work from another home to make sure the pup or kitty isn't alone for extended periods of time. I imagine pet care fitting easily into the days I work from home. I don't currently have any pets in my home. When it comes to pet sitting, I always make sure to open the door slowly if the pet is loose in the house. I let the pet sniff my hand before attempting to touch them, and give them space if they don't seem to want to interact with me. When it comes to walking, I don't walk with headphones in to make sure I can hear what else is going on nearby. I wouldn't take them near spaces where I know there are likely to be other dogs unless that is requested.
“Heather was very professional. She took excellent care of our cats and household. She wrangled our packages without being asked and went above and beyond on a second later delivery.”
“Tony is incredibly kind and our good girl just loves her! She has been doing daily drop-ins for us for several years. She is diligent about sending updates during the day and is quick to respond to my communications. I would highly recommend Tony to any pet parent!”
“Anna is extraordinary! Our pup is just learning about the crate and how to be alone and Anna has been incredible at working with he and supporting me through this tricky time. Singing her praises!”
“Was so responsive, and able to come on short notice. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was and taking the time to tend to my "COVID doggies" who aren't used to me being gone all day.”
“Maria is absolutely the best! She takes extra special care of our animals and is so loving and kind to them! We will always check to see if Maria is available to take care of our beloved pets! Thank you Maria for being amazing!! ❤️❤️”
“Xuiqi was great! She took great care of my cat while I was out for a week, sent a lot of pictures and video and followed all my instructions. I highly recommend her and will book her services again next time I need a sitter!”
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.
“Angelica was a wonderful Rover! She took time to set up a Meet & Greet with our cat before our trip. Our cat was instantly sweet on Angelica purring and rubbing up on her. Angelica kept us very informed during her stays and included great pictures with the Rover card. We felt so happy and relieved to know KitKat was getting such great attention while we were away.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Kansas, where we had a dozen dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. About half were family pets and the other half were bred and trained for bird hunting. I picked up on how to train dogs rather quickly. As an adult I’ve personally owned and trained from puppies a Shiba Inu and a German Shepherd. We have in the last year adopted a 2-year old Pitt Bull / Weimaraner mix who is now a trained service animal, very sweet and gentle with his small animal friends. I’m currently working from home 5 days a week. I have plenty of time and flexibility to go for walks and take breaks as often as needed. I also have 2 older children: aged 13 and 17. They would love to play and keep your furbaby entertained during their stay with us. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can bask in the sunshine or take a quick bathroom break. We live close to a fenced off-leash park that provides a large grassy, open area to play fetch. When we have guests, we treat them like family and allow them on the furniture, unless of course you provide direction to reinforce your house rules. We understand the importance of not breaking routine when it comes to training.
“Tiffany did a great job with three check-in visits with my two pet rabbits while I was gone for the week. It’s nice to see that my shy rabbits want to come out and see you! Thank you for communicating and sending helpful photos! I appreciate you following the extra requests I added and for filling out my checklist! We look forward to your help again!”
About: I have experience with small to large dogs. I grow up with a chihuahua and my grand parents raised Great Danes. I enjoy cuddle time on the couch to playing in the backyard with toys. I'm happy to take dogs to different areas to go on sniff walks and have patience to work with puppies. I work 4 days a week so am using my free time to get some quality time with the pups and cats in the local community. I hope to provide a happy, peaceful environment when I am with your pet. I will follow any instructions provided by the pet parents and be attuned to your pets behaviors. I provide a mix of active outgoing with chill relaxation at home.
“Absolutely phenomenal. Aimee embodies exactly what we wanted for a drop-in Rover: trustworthy, caring, spectacular communication, prompt, leaves the place as clean (or cleaner!) than she found it, and loves our canines like they're her own.”

Went on a trip out of town last minute and Emma did an EXCELLENT job watching our kitty! Emma was very communicative and professional throughout the entire process and at all times I felt like our cat was in great hands. Would highly recommend her for future visits!! :)
Catie did an amazing job taking care of my cat Kitty while I was out of town for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the entire week. She followed instructions closely, never missed a scheduled visit, and always provided detailed updates and pictures. She also went above and beyond to ensure Kitty stayed in a comfortable environment. It was reassuring knowing Kitty was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Catie to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy pet sitter!
Chloe took wonderful care of our cats and kept us up to date with pictures of them playing and descriptions of them while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, prompt in responses, loving to the kitties and took great care of our space. Definitely would recommend her as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

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 Lynnwood 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 Lynnwood. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
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.
