About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and would love to help take care of your pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I have a fun, energetic 1.5-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, so I’m used to keeping active pups happy, but I’m just as happy hanging out with laid-back dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands!
“Kaitlyn is wonderful!! When we came home from our trip, our dogs were happy, and our house looked great. Our dogs are very high energy, and Kaitlyn knew how to address their very different needs. She’s trustworthy, professional, and a great friend to our furry loved ones. I’m so glad to be able to rely on her when we are away or need someone to come play with our dogs when we have a busy day. Our vacation was so much more relaxing knowing our dogs were in good hands!”
“Katlyn and Ashley did a wonderful job watching our animals! It was so nice coming home to a house just as we left it and happy animals! Would highly recommend these two!!”
“Sherri was absolutely amazing! She updated us with texts and photos of our dog throughout the weekend! Very communicative and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Alyssa has been amazing with our Luna. We are new dog owners and she has provided us so much information and good advice in taking care of Luna. Thank you so much for being patient. We appreciate you! ?”
“Nathan did a super job house-sitting our Great Dane while we were away for a week. Communications and updates were timely and thorough, and our dog grew to be very comfortable with him. We'll definitely be asking him to stay with her again next time we're out of town.”
“Deyaneira was so helpful, kind and caring with our pets. She was able to take our request within 2 days to hangout with our pets for a day. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which I always appreciate. Deyaneira was punctual and communicative, and she was an overall good guest to have in our house. My dogs and I liked her so much we already booked another stay!”
“Mackenzie was great with our cats. She has chill cat energy that our cranky eldest cat and our timid semi-feral youngest cat both appreciated. She was very responsive and sent us great pictures of the kitties and house details.”
“Sebastian was amazing! He took on our house sitting gig with very minimal notice after another sitter fell through and did an absolutely wonderful job with our cats while we were away for a week. We got lots of updates and came home to happy calm cats! Couldn’t have asked for better :)”
“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!”
“Charlie was AMAZING!! So attentive and caring to our senior rescue, Toffee. Above and beyond in so many areas: brushing Toffee’s thick corgi undercoat, vacuuming, stripping the bed and leaving the house in immaculate condition. Charlie was also very good about sending pictures of Toffee and reporting on her daily activities. Charlie is a true dog lover and has lots of experience in caring fir them. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Hannah stayed with my crew of pets for a 10 day trip and I was super happy with the experience. She was very communicative and sent photos and notes every day. I appreciated the check ins and knowing everyone was doing great. The house was in perfect condition when I arrived home which is a relief after such a long trip. Thank you Hannah! Bennett, Maui, Loki and Calypso look forward to your next stay :)”
“Bricca did a wonderful job watching my 3 senior dogs that require a lot of care!! I came back to a clean house and happy pups/kitties! She sent plenty of picture updates while I was on my trip, so I didn't feel stressed about my fur kids while I was gone. She was also very accommodating as far as key pick up and drop off and was easily reachable over the phone! I would highly recommend Bricca!!!”
“Carlynn was an absolute gem and was kind enough to book on short notice after an abrupt and unforeseen cancelation from another Rover sitter. Carlynn did a perfect job of caring for my 17-year-old Coton du Tulear, Cassie. My Cassie is blind and deaf, frail, has kidney disease and also has no teeth anymore after they were removed. But she is still very sweet and Carlynn brought out the best in her, hand-feeding her, keeping her hydrated and treating her like a cherished pet of her own. I'm happy to recommend Carlynn to anyone who wants a kind, gentle, top-notch person. Thanks again Carlynn.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Picnic Point-North Lynnwood
Erica took incredible care of our pup Amber during our 10 day trip out of the country! She sent photo updates and we could tell when we got back that she was well taken care of. Erica follows care instructions meticulously and leaves your home clean. We will definitely be booking Erica again for long and short sits!
Naomi did an excellent job caring for our 3 pups and our home. She was easy to communicate with, asked great questions and truly cared for the well being of our pups. We've also had Naomi do mid-day drop in for our pups when we've been gone all day. She is excellent and we look forward to booking her again!
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!
Katlyn and Ashley were wonderful sitters for my pups! They stepped in for their first sit on very short notice and took care of the pups as if they were their own. I have a senior that requires extra care and they were so patient with her, and my younger one had an upset tummy for a bit and they were very attentive to make sure she felt better quickly. I am so appreciative of their help and the house was just as I left it!

FAQs for House Sitting - Picnic Point-North Lynnwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Picnic Point-North Lynnwood on Rover is $70.41 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,313 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Picnic Point-North 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 Picnic Point-North 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 Picnic Point-North 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 Picnic Point-North 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.

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.
