“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.”
“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 was outstanding! Dependable, loving, knowledgeable, and considerate. Plus, EXPERIENCED! I interviewed 4 other rover dog sitters before selecting Marissa. I am so glad I took the time to meet multiple rover sitters. Marissa came with 20+ years of experience and she excel beyond my expectations. She understood the care for my dog and she did not fear my Doberman. When I returned home, my dog was rested and just excited to see me. In the past I spent so much money in boarding him and picking him up with issues from his anxiety or just poor management. BUT not with Marissa. He was calm and no issues were presented. It feels great to have someone I can trust and I am confident in. Again, I highly highly recommend Marissa. Trust me, I am booking her again, soon.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”
“Great sitter!! She went out her way to make sure my pups were taking care of. She is very detail oriented and like a ray of sunshine. Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of experience since 11 years old when my mother would petsit the neighbor's dogs. I've cared for dogs at many stages of life, from newborn puppies to sweet 10 year old senior pups! I understand each pet has their own unique needs, and I will always commit to providing attentive, compassionate care for each and every one. It's what a good pup deserves! Out of highschool and looking to spend more time doing something I enjoy while supporting my goals! Free every week with plenty of time for playing and caring for your fur babies ♡ I have a fenced front yard and 3 dogs in the house. Whether you want your pup to make new friends, be comfortable in their crate, or seperated from the dogs, whatever is best for them, I'll do with no problem! Food, playtime, walks, and cuddles will be provided to all pups whether at my home or yours. Just tell me what you need and I'll deliver!
“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!!”
“Tatiana was fabulous with our boys! We needed someone to watch our older dogs on short notice and she was available for a meet and greet right away, and we booked with her immediately. She kept us updated while we were away with photos of our dogs, daily updates on their walks and activities, and questions to make sure she was giving them the best care. We won't hesitate to rebook with Tatiana in the future.”
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.
“Jaylen did an amazing job with our pups while we were out of town! She followed their routine to a T and made sure to send us updates regularly. We know who to reach out should we need help again in the future. Thank you Jaylen!”
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, including fostering both well-behaved and troubled dogs, rescuing and transporting deaf dogs, and organizing neighborhood doggy dates. Additionally I provide pet sitting for family and friends, and participate actively in the local pet community with my two beautiful dogs. As I establish myself here on Rover, I am happy to accommodate the needs of your pet and family. Open communication is a must for reliability and for the best care of your furry friend! As we start this journey together, I would prefer to care for you dog(s) in the environment they feel most safe in. Any further services may be discussed as needed.
“Crystal stayed with my pups Bean & Benji for about a week. She was super communicative from the start and regularly sent updates/pics of my babies. Upon my return, the dogs were happy and healthy and my place was undisturbed. I’m SO grateful everything went smoothly and I was able to be in the moment at my sister’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. Will definitely keep Crystal at the forefront of my mind for the future. THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!!”
“Caroline was a great sitter! She kept me informed of my dog’s care and gave me peace of mind. She even cleaned my rug for me after my dog threw up on it. I will book Caroline again and throughly recommend her! Christine”
“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 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.
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 😆

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 6,202 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
