“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!”
“Marissa is amazing. She took great care of my cat and my home, even cleaning my freezer when she noticed that soda cans had exploded all over it. It was a tough job. (I had to leave very early for the airport and didn’t have time to do it myself.) She also made sure that everything was neat and tidy when I came home. In addition, I had texted her several times about flight changes and she was always responsive and understanding. She is a treasure.”
“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!”
“Jackie was excellent - very communicative, caring, trustworthy. No issues at all and she left the house in very good condition. Dogs were well cared for and I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her again!”
“Dominique took excellent care of my pups and my place. She followed the dog and house care instructions to the letter. They instantly took to her at the meet and greet. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the sitting. Will definitely always book her to care for my pups during any future getaways.”
“Sarah watched our pups for us while we were out of town. She sent daily updates with the cutest pictures. Our house and pups were well taken care of. Sarah is a great communicator and I would highly recommend her.”
“Our animals were so relaxed and content while Vanessa was here. She was so flexible with our requests and needs. Vanessa also sent us daily pictures and updates which was so appreciated!”
“Jennifer is kind, responsive, and very attentive to animals. My dog loved her the moment she walked into the house. It is obvious that she loves animals! She also is timely, responsible, and took great care of my home.”
About: Growing up with 2 dogs and 3 cats, I had several years of experience with taking care of animals. I have also been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 6 years, taking care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working a part time job from 6 AM to 11 AM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but otherwise I will be able to spend a majority of the time with your pets. I also am a full time student at UCSD, so my schedule can vary a bit when school is in session. When I am house sitting I can do whatever is needed. All I need to know is their sleeping arrangements, feeding times, and walk/play time frequency. I never invite guests over and I prioritize the pets I am caring for at any given time.
About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxing day, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm patient with puppies as they learn new routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide reliable, compassionate, and worry-free care so your dog is happy, healthy, and excited to see me again. I work a hybrid schedule, and most of my work begins after 3:00 p.m. During the day, I occasionally visit clients for about two hours before returning home, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets. Although Rover is my second job, your furry family member will always be a top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I'll always keep in mind that someone is counting on me to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. If your pet enjoys walks, we'll spend time outside getting exercise and exploring safely. If they prefer relaxing and cuddling, I'm happy to provide a calm and comforting environment. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your furry family member is being cared for as if they were my own.
“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”
“Allison did an amazing job taking care of our puppy dog while we were away for Thanksgiving. She sent us lots of photos and our baby girl clearly adored her. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.”
“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”
“Jaelyn has been excellent. She met the dogs before her scheduled time and my dogs quickly grew comfortable with her. One of my dogs had a bad experience with a previous dog sitter and Jaelyn made sure to pay special attention to my dog. She even bought some medication to use on him and helped my dog so much. In fact I feel like she helped nurse him to a better state. Jaelyn is super communicative and transparent. She was really sweet and I am happy to have trusted her with my doggies <3 I would use her services again!!”
“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”
“Sarah was fantastic. She accepted our last‑minute, early‑morning request and showed up full of positive enthusiasm. She handled our two high‑energy huskies with care, keeping them happy, engaged, and safe.”
“William was so great with the dogs! We asked him to house sit and to be with the dogs for a few days. He came by a couple of days before we left to get familiar with them, so they'd be comfortable. He sent updates in the morning and night and said that he played with the dogs a lot. I could see that the pups really enjoyed/benefitted from having him around. He's a pretty cool dude and we'll definitely be asking him to dog sit in the future! 10/10 would recommend.”
About: Our family has owned dogs throughout the years. We dog sat for friends and family and then we started to for other people as well. We have experience with both small dogs and big dogs. We wanted to do this because although we don’t have a dog currently this is a fun way to still spend time with dogs and help others! I do with volunteer work- 12 hours a week. Me and my 18 year old daughter, Katia, do the dog sitting responsibilities together but it is mainly her. My daughter is a senior in high school and goes to school Tuesdays-Thursdays and she gets out of school early. We have a two story house. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we do have a yard so when we take them out it will be on the leash. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet. We can crate your dog if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Acres
Sorayda was a lifesaver! I had a last minute emergency and she came through for me within an hour of booking, which meant so much since I was out of town at the time. She was extremely thorough and communicative, sending thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay that really eased my anxiety about being away. She took wonderful care of Leo, including feeding him, walking him, and playing with him, and she even handled little extras around the house like closing the curtains and bringing in packages. Leo warmed right up to her, greeting her with his favorite lamb toy. Communication was excellent and she made a stressful situation so much easier. Highly recommend and will absolutely book her 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!
Arianna was absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and would treat our pup like one of her own. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Arianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!
Jaelyn was absolutely amazing. We’ve been the ringer with dog sitters and Jaelyn came in and was like a dream. She was so responsible with our home and with our pup. She sent a lot of photos and updates that kept us in the loop and was able to take our big dog that pulls a lot on daily walks. We have found our regular dog sitter in Jaelyn and you should as well.
Jenna was absolutely amazing with my two animals! She always made sure they were safe and well cared for. I got lots of tickets every day and honest-detailed updates. Jenna went above and beyond, and truly has such a touch to her. My cat, who hates people, warmed within just a day of Jenna arriving. I felt so relieved to have someone so amazing care for them. Thank you again from me, Moon, and Luna! 🐶🐈⬛
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lincoln Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincoln Acres on Rover is $48.84 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 6,155 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincoln Acres. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Acres. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
