“Teddy was super excited to have Audrey let him out in the yard, feed him lunch, and play with him at lunch time. Audrey was just as excited and provided a professional, fun, friendly, and much needed service for our 7 year old Westie at our house. I will be using Audrey again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. When I was active duty I spent a lot of time watching other service members pets. I would help any time they needed! I trained my own dogs and keep their activity levels up! I am doing school online so I have a VERY flexible schedule! I’m also active so I can do lots of walks and potty breaks! Patience it key! I believe all dogs are incredibly smart they just need a second to understand! Food motivation is always a good trick to help get them on the right track!

“Caroline was fantastic with my senior cat, Theda. When we met for a meet and greet I explained that I am a bit particular about how Theda’s meals are organized and how to clean her bowls, and Caroline was totally on top of it all. I was away the last two weekends and received daily photos of a happy cat from Caroline while out of town, and when I came back the litter area and kitchen were so clean and tidy. I really appreciate that level of care and attention and I know Theda did too: thank you so much Caroline!”

About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.

About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.

“Joanne is an angel! I’ve met with her before her pet drop ins started and felt immediately at ease- like we’ve known each other for a long time. My pup, Haku adored her! Joanne took good care of him when we’re away and communicates everything with me. She carefully follows instructions and did everything as told with respect! I would definitely book with her service again! She deserves more than 5 stars. Joanne, please stay nearby and keep in touch!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Paloma. I’m an indie filmmaker/artist with a deep love for animals of all kinds. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps pets feel safe and relaxed in their own home. I especially connect with cats and adore their unique personalities. Also love time with pups, taking them on walks to nearby parks, and playing games to keep them happy and engaged. I’m comfortable giving medications or injections if needed, and always follow any care instructions closely. House-sitting is fun for me because I’m a traveler at heart, and love experiencing new spaces/neighborhoods. I always treat each home with loving care and respect, keeping everything clean while you’re away. I may even play a little music and serenade your fur babies. I’d love to meet your companion and make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re gone. Don’t hesitate to reach out to chat and see if I’m a good match for your family! I’m a freelance artist and looking for a fun gig to fill my time with. My work requires I spend a lot of time around people, so I love connecting with animals whenever I can. I have plenty of cat/dog/bird/fish house sitting experience and I am also happy to care for your plants if you are taking a trip out of town.

About: Taking care of my family's & friend's' doggies is what I'm best known for. I've taken care of them for 12 years & it has always come very natural to me. On my free time I like to read articles on animal behavior to further expand my knowledge and become wary of when I may encounter danger when socializing with pups. I also like to be informed so that I can better provide care for them. I have experience with all sorts of breeds and sizes of dogs. I also like to build trustworthy relationships with the pet's owner to ensure effective communication of the pet's health. I'm currently working part time so I will be able to dedicate a lot of time to your doggies. I am available for boarding on the weekends. When taking care of pets at my client's home I like to maintain their scheduled routine of eating, walking, playing, and exercising (as well as other tasks). If they don't have a set routine, I like to create a plan that best works with the doggy and their owner. I believe every dog has their own personality, likes and dislikes, as well as health requirements, so I like to create a personalized checklist with my clients to make sure that the doggy's needs are being met.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly understands pets because I’ve grown up with them and cared for them my entire life. I was raised with a Labrador, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and affection. Throughout my adult years, I’ve had both cats and dogs, giving me hands-on experience with different temperaments, personalities, and care needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I genuinely tune into them. I understand that every animal is unique. Some need playtime and long walks, others need patience, calm energy, and consistency. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and most importantly, making your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve also cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets over the years, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. I treat every animal as if they’re my own…with reliability, compassion, and lots of affection. Whether your pet loves fetch, belly rubs, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide dependable care and peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feedings based on their usual routine. I’m also available on weekends and can often help with last-minute bookings when needed. My flexible work setup allows me to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular daily care or occasional drop-ins. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that works best for both of you. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring surroundings on walks, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, supervised environment. I respect your home as if it were my own. Keeping things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to create a calm, loving, and secure experience for your pet so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lincoln Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln Acres is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 8,817 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lincoln Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Acres. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
