“Julie was terrific with Lucy. Even though she was a bit timid, Julie was patient and caring, waiting for Lucy to warm up and feel safe. We will certainly use Julie for future walks.”

“This was our first time hiring a dog walker and we had such a great experience! Kimberly-Ann was super reliable, easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our dog Trudy can be pretty anxious with new people, but she was so patient and kind with her. It was nice to see her slowly warm up to her after a couple of walks. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and we’ll definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have spent the past 10 years dog-sitting for friends, family, and clients. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments—from shy or nervous dogs to senior pets who need a calm routine and medication. I take a patient, reliable approach and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine. Having recently moved to the Beamsville area, I’d love to connect with new clients and their pets. I currently work part-time in Beamsville, which gives me plenty of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays depending on your needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or you’re looking for someone to stay with them while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet is well cared for. Because I have two cats at home, I don’t offer boarding in my own space. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home through drop-in visits or overnight stays. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment.

About: Im a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own—a sweet senior and a playful one-year-old. They are truly my babies and a huge part of my life, so I understand just how important it is to leave your pets with someone you completely trust. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’m comfortable with both the slower pace and extra care that senior dogs may need and the energy and attention that comes with a younger pup. Caring for your fur babies honestly feels like the best way I could spend my time! When they’re with me, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I take my own two dogs for walks twice a day and make plenty of time for play, ball and fetch. I’m excited to bring that same energy and attention to your pets! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits and will make sure your pup gets exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love and attention while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pet, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, medications if needed, potty breaks and walks. I’m attentive and dependable, and I’ll treat your home and your fur baby with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: Growing up, I always had animals in my life and I can't imagine living without a pet. My Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute are so much more than pets—they're family. They're my constant companions, my greatest source of unconditional love and my best friends. Whether we're exploring new trails, enjoying quiet moments together or setting off on another adventure, they're always by my side. Life is simply better with them in it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I’m currently working a f/t night shift job (early retirement in December 2026). I am available from Monday-Friday after 11am and anytime over the weekend. I am available during the holiday season. Once I am retired from my 25 yrs of service at my current job my schedule will be more flexible. 🙂 I can prepare meals/medication and care for your pet. Follow your usual routine with them. I have plenty years of experience caring for a pet

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have experience caring for them from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, and giving dogs plenty of attention and companionship. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶💕 My schedule is fairly flexible since I work part time, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and schedules. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible and can often be flexible with drop ins, walks, and sitting. When I’m not working or taking care of my own pets, I have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules and see what works best for both you and your pet! 🐾 I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’ll follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any other care they need. My own kitties and dogs have their set routine, so i will make sure to always stick to yours routine! I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave everything clean and tidy. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and individual needs.

About: I’ve had a dog as a child, always enjoyed playing with pets. Did some pet sitting in the past for a family member and had fun doing so. I’m currently retired from working as a Pharmacy Technician at the Niagara Health hospital for 34yrs. I am a mother of three grown sons. Married for 33years. Love spending time with my family. We enjoy our outdoor activities together and travelling. I also enjoy spending time outdoors cycling with my friends, going for hikes or going for my daily walks. I am an organized and dependable person. Pet care would fit naturally into my daily/ weekly routine, where I may have the opportunity to earn a little extra money on the side. I understand the importance of giving dogs the attention they need when it comes to outdoor exercise. I am comfortable planning my schedule around walks and making sure they receive reliable care. I would like to have a chance to spend time with animals as they accompany me to be part of my routine. I’m only interested in dog walking, but I love dogs and would enjoy the company while going for walks. I understand the importance of regular exercise and attention to keep dogs safe and comfortable. I am dependable and willing to learn about how to nurture a dog by meeting their needs.

About: Hi! I’m Hannah, a 26 year old Canadian currently living in Grimsby, Ontario. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. Back in high school I started working in dog daycares through a co-op program, and quickly realized this was exactly what I wanted to do. From 2016–2022, I worked in different dog daycare and care centres across Ontario, gaining extensive experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home! Warmly, Hannah It fits seamlessly into my schedule as pet care is my full time job. Any day, anytime I am available. Send me a message to schedule! I am unable to provide pet care in my own home, but I can travel to the client’s home or hotel to care for their pets. I offer services such as dog walking, outdoor exercise, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while the pet remains comfortable in their own environment or outdoors! :)

About: I am actively working as a veterinary assistant trained as a vet tech for the past 7 years. I previously worked in a pet rehabilitation facility where we helped pets recover from major surgery. I also completed a professional dog trainer certification through Canine Academy in Milton. I use a positive-reinforcement, reward based gentle approach for pet care and handling. Last year, I attended a workshop to learn low stress patient protocols for veterinary professionals and am fear free certified. I’ve even taught my dog to give consent for nail trims and trim his nails successfully every 2 weeks. I also have previously worked as a dog walker and daycare attendant. Recently I started offering in home nail trims for pets and would love to extend that support to drop in visits, pet sitting & medication/injection administration. I can monitor pets with medical needs closely and want to provide relief to pet parents who need support in any way. I’m here for you and your fur family and will accommodate each pets individual needs 💛 I work 4 days a week, evenings/weekends and Wednesdays I am off. While I am at work I have an hour break and can use that for drop in visits/let outs. I am a very detail oriented, clean person and will respect the space I am providing service in. I will clean up after your pets as I do with mine alike.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lincoln

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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 Lincoln. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

<b>Tip:</b> Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

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 Lincoln 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Lincoln with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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 Lincoln 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!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
