“Our dog Bo loves Sarah and we’re so happy he feels comfortable around her. He’s pretty high energy so she will take him outside and play fetch which is his favorite! She’s also really patient with him because he can be a little temperamental and we appreciate that!”
“I highly recommend Enrique as a dog and house sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house spotless, which was a great bonus. Enrique also communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. It was clear that he genuinely cared about them, and it gave me peace of mind to know they were in such great hands. I’d absolutely trust him again for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Jackie was very helpful and patient with our shorty bulldog. He can be quite particular on walks or around other dogs. She constantly updated us with photos and information regarding his medicine. Would definitely be utilizing her services in the future. We would highly recommend booking with Jackie!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
“I cannot recommend Joanne enough! I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped in to take amazing care of my dogs. She was incredibly communicative, kept me updated the whole time, and my dogs absolutely adored her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely be booking Joanne any time I need a sitter!”
“Marissa was great! She was comfortable around my dogs, she checked in timely with us sending photos and updates throughout the weekend. She took good care of the house. Would highly recommend Marissa anytime!”
“We had to find a sitter to stay in our home with our Lab last minute. We’re so happy to find Tally! She was super responsive, friendly, took great care of our girl & our home! We were at ease knowing our baby was in great hands! Would definitely recommend! Thanks again!”
“We love Vanessa’s calm, sweet demeanor, which is great for nervous pet parents. :) We can tell from her photo updates that our pups are relaxed and comfortable.”
“Sabrina is brilliant. She is genuine & so extremely kind. Our dude fell in love with her from their first meet & greet. The biggest stressor when we travel is making sure our guy is well cared for — and thanks to Sabrina, that anxiety completely disappeared. We knew he was in great hands every step of the way. Woodford decided she was part of the family from Day 1. Cutest photos & updates along the way. We are very lucky to have found her.”
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.
“Caroline was an amazing pet and house sitter. Not only did she take excellent care of our cat and dog, she also tended to our backyard chickens and ducks! On top of all that, she kept the house so tidy that we could hardly tell she had spent a week in our home. It was so comforting to come back after a vacation to find our house and pets exactly as we had left them. We will most certainly book with Caroline again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet and home sitter.”
About: I have nearly 3 years of hands-on dog-sitting experience caring for dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I started my dog sitting journey for a family member very often for about a year straight and then later on joined Rover. I joined rover with my mom under her as I was not 18 yet and I started gaining additional experience caring for clients’ dogs (Please see photos for past reviews). I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention and companionship, maintaining their routines, and doing anything and everything to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As someone with a cat and a previous dog owner I understand from first hand experience how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat the dogs in my care with patience, love, and responsibility. I love animals so much so I will always treat them with love!!! I’m currently working part time so I’m able to dedicate lots of time to give attention and care to your pet! I’m flexible and even when I am away I will make sure they are taken care of and comfortable before I go! I prioritize safety and comfort when caring for pets in their owner’s home. I always follow their routine, keep their environment secure, and give them plenty of attention, supervision, and care.
About: Lifelong dog lover with lots of experience! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way. I grew up with a golden poodle and absolutely adore dogs. There a lifelong best friend. As a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m free most of the week and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’ve been dog sitting for years and truly love caring for every pup I meet. I treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and walks while making sure they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶🤍
“Beshoy was excellent with our two high-energy pups. Our big dog can be reactive towards other dogs and I felt completely confident with him walking / feeding him. Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were on our trip! Loved all of the photo updates”
About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
“Emily has turned into a first choice for our fur baby. She makes him feel like a rockstar with walks and cuddles and play time and his own photo shoot. Emily is the main reason I believe in Rover!”
“James was an excellent house sitter! He was friendly, respectful, responsible, and very easy to communicate with throughout his stay. He took great care of the house, was considerate of the space, and left everything clean and in great condition. I really appreciated how reliable and trustworthy he was, which made it easy to feel comfortable while I was away. Overall, I had a great experience with James and would definitely recommend him to others looking for a dependable house sitter. I’d be happy to have him stay again anytime!”
“Luz was absolutely amazing! She stayed at my home with my two dogs while I was out of town for the weekend and was incredibly attentive throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of texts and photo updates, which was amazing and made me feel super comfortable knowing my girls were happy and being well taken care of. She was also an amazing house guest, I came home to my apartment just as clean, if not cleaner, than when I left! Most importantly, the dogs were happy and clearly well cared for. I felt completely confident having her stay with them and will 100% be booking her again for future trips. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Acres
Sarah was the first overnight cat sitter I've booked and she was perfect! I was suuuper anxious to leave my sweet 2 year old IBD kitty alone for a week but my first meet and greet with Sarah calmed all my worries. Sarah house sat for 7 days and 6 nights and was kind enough to start early morning and stay late when I returned from the airport. She vacuumed before my arrival which was great. My kitty is normally very shy but he took to her quickly. I was worried about him not eating but he was comfortable enough to eat most of his food and by the 2nd day let her pet him and got closer and more comfortable the following days. He threw up at one point and Sarah kept me informed with pictures and cleaned it up thoroughly right away. I had a lot of instructions with his strict diet and Sarah was very attentive and dedicated to quality care. All of Sarah's daily updates were so nice. Will definitely book again!
Alynna looked after our dog, fish and house while we were away. She provided frequent updates and was responsive so we could relax while we were away from home. It was clear everything and everyone was beautifully and thoughtfully cared for. Absolutely recommend!
Eileengrace cared for our for dogs and home and was amazing! She was available last minute and even squeezed in a requested meet and greet before we left. Her communication is great, she is eager to learn about your pet(s), and follows through. Overall, she is genuinely kind, polite, and most of all, the dogs loved her!
Beth has been so great! Frank was thrilled to see her again, and she clearly enjoys spending time with him. She is great about following my directions, and takes such good care of.him and our home. It is so important to be able to trust the person staying in your home and caring for your canine family member. So happy to have Beth as our sitter again.
We’ve used Carla multiple times and have always had a great experience. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly care about our dog. We get regular updates and photos, and our pup is always happy and relaxed when we get home. It makes everything so much easier knowing our dog is in good hands. Highly recommend.
Monica was fantastic! We needed a sitter for a few hours while we were visiting San Diego and staying at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our pup instantly liked her, which is fairly unusual. Lots of updates, photos and videos. Will use her again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend for helicopter dog parents 😆

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 Lincoln Acres 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 Lincoln Acres 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!
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 Acres 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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
