“Sonya is an absolute angel. She took exceptional care of our Tootsie, sent tons of adorable pictures, and truly went above and beyond. We could not be more grateful or recommend her more highly. Absolutely amazing!”
“Gwynn is great. She communicates clearly. She took great care of our energetic and sweet (but slightly naughty) dog. Keeva loved the great walks and cuddles. We loved the daily video updates. Thank you!”
“Brittany was super easy to work with, the pups loved her, and her set up is perfect for the active boys we have, they hardly noticed we left. Her pups were great greeters and playmates. We were traveling far so our timing was quite questionable and Brittany made us feel right at home and worked with us and the unpredictability of Boston!”
“The ultimate pet sitter! Deborah is amazing in her attention to every dog trait and instantly creates rapport with the dog. Her place is perfect for dog care with a fenced area for outdoor fun. Deborah is a blessing.”
“Julia was AWESOME. In fact, I worried that our dog, Tucker, would end up preferring to stay with her rather than come home with us! She watched our very enthusiastic 1.5 year old golden retriever for the weekend, and took him on hikes, had him splashing in brooks and meeting goats. She was easy to get in touch with, accepted our last minute booking (including squeezing in a meet and greet prior) and sent great photos. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Hanna and her family took wonderful care of my pup, Scout, for a few days and overnights. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Scout up, she was excited to see me but clearly very comfortable in their home. I’ll definitely be using Hanna and her family again in the future. Thank you so much, Hanna — Scout says hello! 🐾”
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses my whole life. I worked at a veterinary clinic that also offered boarding for 10 years. I love my animals and don’t remember a time that animals were not part of my life. I also have detailed experience working in a hospital, specifically with infection control. I am ver conscious of using only stainless steel bowls for both water and food. I am currently working to open a larger boarding facility, so I am putting all of my time and effort into full time boarding with the potential of day care. I have a female boxer, Bindi, who LOVES other dogs and people. She will gladly keep your fur baby company and entertained! I also have a husband and two boys who love dogs and will be present. There will not be a day where there isn’t something going on! We have a pond on premises and 64 acres in the country to run! Not all dogs are the same, just like people. Some free feed while others are in restricted raw diets. I am familiar with many medication administrations and have a refrigerator for insulins, etc.
“Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! Joey had a great time with her, and I loved receiving lots of photos and videos while I was away. I honestly think Joey enjoyed his time with her just as much as she enjoyed having him. Catherine was flexible, responded promptly to messages, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Joselyn did a PHENOMENAL job with my large senior baby! Buddy had a wonderful time with her and her sweet fluffy dog, Jack. He felt at home immediately and she did a wonderful job with keeping me updated and sent photos regularly every day! I will be using her services every time I need someone to watch my animals. I recommend her services 100%!”
About: We recently lost our beloved golden retriever to cancer, and our house feels far too empty without him. While we're not quite ready for another dog of our own, I'd love to share some of that love and affection with yours! We live on a beautiful property with lots of land, trails, and a pond. Some of my favorite parts of having a dog were long walks in the woods, swims in the pond, and taking breaks from my computer for a game of frisbee. I work remotely and am home throughout the day, so your dog would have plenty of companionship, exercise, and attention. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and I'd care for yours like a member of our family. We have two children under five who absolutely adore dogs. They're at daycare during the day, but we'd want to make sure your dog is comfortable around young children. Our golden slept in our bedroom every night, but I'm happy to accommodate your dog's usual routines and sleeping preferences. I'm also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs with additional needs. Most of all, I'd love to give your dog a happy, loving place to stay with plenty of fresh air, activity, and affection! I currently work from home so have plenty of time for pet care. I was used to the routine of caring for our energetic golden and am feeling the void of the companionship and the responsibility. I do not have a fenced yard but have three acres that bumps up to a 50 acre field. There are miles of private trails that I can walk on (leash or no leash).
“Brooke was amazing!! She answered quickly and with short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my 10 month old puppy with her (and Bailey)! She sent updates and pictures, and was very flexible with timing of drop off and pick up as I had a long drive. Would recommend to anyone in the area or if you’re taking a trip to Stowe or Burlington!”
About: I owned a black lab for twelve years and received many compliments on how well trained he was. I have many 4 legged friends in my neighborhood. I am retired and have total control of my time. I can be flexible to meet client needs. I can handle long term commitments if needed. I live in a country neighborhood with limited traffic. Many dog owners walk their dogs on the street. No other pets to distract from your dog
“Aaron was a great fit for our dog - Miso loved spending the week with him. It took a few days for Miso to adjust to his first ever sitter and Aaron handled it well - checking in with us when he noticed that Miso wasn't eating and seemed a little home sick. By the end of the week, Miso seemed to be having a great time. Aaron sent pictures and updates throughout the week, which was really appreciated. We would highly recommend Aaron. He was open to meeting with us before we left on vacation and asked great questions (vet info, local contacts, likes and dislikes, etc). We usually leave Miso at a boarder, but since our trip was going to be longer than usual we were hoping to find someone local that could give Miso more personal attention and affection - Aaron made us feel comfortable leaving Miso with him for an extended period of time. Thanks for taking such good care of Miso for us, Aaron!”
“Julie and her partner were absolutely amazing! They were communicative and attentive, took care of our dog like their own. They are great people who genuinely just want to make sure your pet is comfortable away from home! I can't recommend them enough!”
“Anna was an outstanding pet and house sitter. She was professional, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of my nervous pet-mom questions throughout the stay. She arrived right on time, took wonderful care of my pets, and left my home in immaculate condition. She even washed all of the bedding without being asked, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. I came home to happy pets and a house that looked wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna and would gladly book her again.”

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 ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincoln home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lincoln.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lincoln sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
