“Rae stayed in our home to look after Walter for a second time, this time a full week. We returned home to a clean house and very happy and well-cared-for dog. Throughout the week, Rae sent pictures and updates daily, keeping us fully informed about how things were going. Rae has been a very responsive and reliable house and dog sitter - highly recommended!”
“Kim was amazing! He went well above and beyond. He was very reliable and so loving with our little dog. Usually, our dog can get very upset and anxious while we are away and ends up at the vet upon our return. This time, after Kim’s care, we returned to a very calm, relaxed, happy dog. I cannot give enough praise to Kim for his pet sitting abilities and I would recommend Kim in a heartbeat. Thank you Kim for taking such good care of Samson.”
“Kiara was absolutely fantastic with Canelo. House was as we left it. Clean and tidy. She checked in with updates and photos. Would absolutely use her services again.”
“We had such a great experience with Julia and Tristan. They were a tag team duo who took amazing care of our puppy. Super attentive, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. Communication was excellent throughout. They kept us updated and made us feel totally at ease. I would absolutely trust them to watch Benji again at anytime!”
“Thank you Ethan, from the first time I reached out, you replied back within 15 minutes and right away assured me that you were able to take care of Rosie. We met prior to the date and you were professional, caring and right away made Rosie feel comfortable. You sent me pictures and updates on her stay with you and were very attentive to replying to me if I checked in. Thank you again Ethan and Rosie will be back for sure!”
About: I have owned lots of different animals my whole life. With that being said I love animals so much and have lots of training and experience with them. I will be providing food, exercise, and companionship for the pets, as well as ensuring their safety and well-being. A anytime that works for you I will be glad to provide safe, nurturing care for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, and small mammals, such as rabbits and hamsters. Friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I love animals! In addition to pet sitting, I have 1 dog and a cat of my own and they're my furry little children. They mean the world to me! I hope I get the chance to meet and care for your furry kids!
“Linda arrived when we agreed and took great care of our pup. She provided real time updates and even shared photos. She left our home clean and followed all care instructions. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Wonderful dog sitter! Kind, reliable, and so caring with our dog. They went above and beyond with walks, cuddles, and lots of love. We came home to a happy, well-cared- for pup and would definitely book with them again!”
“Samantha was amazing, we were so thankful for her to accept a last minute request after some plans fell through. We got picture updates on how they were doing and remembered everything after a quick visit to meet them. Our dogs have a new best friend!”
“I’m so impressed with Lynn! We are very proud parents of Rottweilers, as are large breed these dogs have a stigma with them about being aggressive etc. Lynn came into our home and was so comfortable with our girls. Her confidence with the breed and loving ways with them set us at ease right away. My girl is expecting puppies n just a couple of weeks. Lynn stayed with her and gave her all the love and attention an expecting momma needs. My girl was so happy with Lynn. We were able to go out for the evening and not worry about our girl. Lynn was punctual followed all requests without issues and most importantly made our girl feel safe and comfortable in our absence. We will be having Lynn come to our home again after our puppies arrive and she will care for our puppies and momma while I attend my son’s wedding. It is such a relief to know I will be able to go for the evening and have someone as responsible and caring looking after our momma and newborns. I can’t thank Lynn enough for that!❤️ I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for someone not just to sit and “watch” your loved ones but to give them the attention care and tend to all their needs as you would!”
About: Hi, I'm Jaymz. I grew up around dogs: my mom has pet-sat for over 20 years and I've always helped her with walks, feeding and overnights. I also volunteered at the Humane Society back in the 2000s. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and overnight stays in your home. Drop-ins and walks are in Niagara Falls, and overnights are anywhere in the Niagara Region. My schedule is very flexible, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and last-minute requests. Happy to do a free meet and greet first. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m usually home most days and I’m a night owl, so I’m very flexible with drop-ins and walks — mornings, afternoons, or evenings all work for me. I can easily do multiple visits per day or spread them out. I’m reliable and like keeping a calm schedule around my own stuff, so I’m happy to work with whatever times you need. Calm, reliable pet care with strong focus on safety and trust. Gained lots of experience helping my mom with dog boarding and walking for over 20 years.
About: Hey! I’m a full time student who loves animals and knows firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m currently offering cat and dog services to help support my studies, but because I know how expensive quality care can be (and because every pet deserves reliable care), I keep my rates as low as possible. I’m a full time student so you’ll have my availability as long as I’m not actively in a lecture. Luckily, lots of courses I’m taking are online! Using positive reinforcement, I tailor my services to the preferences of both the owners and the dogs, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure. Whether it's drop-in visits or dog walking, I consider your dog's energy level, the temperature of the day, and other factors to provide the best care. For example, on hot days, I bring dog friendly popsicles for the pups to enjoy (with prior approval of owner, with allergies in mind). My goal is not only to ensure your dog leaves happy but also well-exercised, content, and satisfied.
About: Experienced caring for my own cats and pet sitting friends’ dogs. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles! 🐾 i work for my self so my schedule is very flexible. I have an open schedule so I can work around any schedule as long as I’m given enough notice Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, routines, feeding schedules, walking preferences, and any household rules you provide. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are kept secure. I know every pet has a different personality, so I’ll give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll never force interaction and will pay close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being well cared for. If I notice anything unusual or have any concerns, I’ll contact you right away. 🐾❤️
About: I've been a dog-lover and pet care provider for as long as I can remember, it's no wonder I decided to make a career out of it! I couldn't do it alone though... I hated the idea of leaving my own dog behind everyday, so I choose the dog-walking route to ensure she could come along to work with me! Together, we are a dynamic duo providing premium pet care! Our goal is to help you give your furry family members the exercise, socialisation, and routine they need to be their best and happiest selves – while providing you with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands (and paws). Whether you’re interested in our walking service, overnight pet sitting, or other special occasion care, we’ve got you covered! We ensure every experience is lead with love, fun, and lots of care. Dog walking and pet sitting services are offered daily until 6pm usually. I'm currently available to provide overnight pet sitting from approximately 7pm to 7am. Daytime care for overnight pets is also available to be booked as walks or drop-in services at their respective rates. This is my full time job, so I can be flexible. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions regarding availability! I choose to provide overnight care in your home to ensure your pup is in the place that feels the safest and most comfortable. They get to stick to their routine and be surrounded by their own things, ensuring the least stressful experience during their time apart from you. Please keep in mind that my own dog (female, cockapoo) joins me for all overnight stays and most walking services or drop-ins, so your dog and you must be dog-friendly!
About: I have a way with animals. They seem to respond to me. I use a strict tone so they know when to listen. I use a different tone when it comes to playing. At the moment I just became unemployed so I see this as an opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do. Work with dogs. Mega love. Always fresh water. Fed accordingly to what the owner wants. I always have treats on hand. I talk to them and make sure they're not stressed.
About: I’ve always loved dogs my whole life but I’ve never had the chance to have a furry friend. When I am with my friends puppies I feel so connected and love having fun with them. I love going on walks and I think having a companion would be great! Getting our daily steps in and energy out is something I’m looking forwards to. I also enjoy calm days. Low energy activities and naps are always a good time too! I am currently working full time but would love to use my free time walking and playing with furry friends. I am available Tuesday, Thursday and the weekends (please message for more of a thorough breakdown of my availability). I am willing to visit a few fur balls after my shifts as well! I am willing to follow your wishes regarding your puppy’s care. I will ensure to keep them happy and well fed when you’re not home!
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.
“Yanqi was amazing with Crusoe. Not once did I need to check in for photos or updates as these were sent regularly throughout the day. We returned home to a totally relaxed and chilled out pup who clearly had a great time with his pet sitter. Our place was clean and tidy and most importantly, our precious boy was well loved and cared for. Will definitely be booking Yanqi in the future as the peace of mind we had allowed us to enjoy a family break together.”

Rae is a conscientious and caring dog-and-house-sitter, and has been wonderful with our dog, Walter. Throughout our weekend away while Rae stayed in our home, they communicated very clearly to reassure us that Walter was well cared-for in our absence. Walter had a great time with Rae and we have already booked them for another sitting engagement. We highly recommend Rae!
Rae stayed in our home to look after Walter for a second time, this time a full week. We returned home to a clean house and very happy and well-cared-for dog. Throughout the week, Rae sent pictures and updates daily, keeping us fully informed about how things were going. Rae has been a very responsive and reliable house and dog sitter - highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lincoln 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Lincoln walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
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.
