Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

Elizabeth came highly recommended by another superb housesitter, and she lived up to every expectation. She sent regular check-ins, with photos of our pets showing them calm and content; and we returned to a house in fine order. Thanks, Beth!

Monica helped me with a pretty short notice request. She followed instructions and really went above and beyond. She took my dog to a park and got him a pup cup and she didn’t have to do all that. Put me at ease while out of town knowing he was living his best life with Monica! I will absolutely be using Monica again when something comes up.

Ashlyn is fantastic with our two dogs! We had her stay for another weekend of house sitting, and she is excellent with our dogs and our home. Her communication prior to the stay is exceptional, and she also provided updates and photos throughout the stay. It's so nice knowing that our furbabies are in great hands with her!

Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.

Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!

Even without meeting her before our booking I just felt at ease leaving Kona in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her anytime we need a sitter.

Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.

About: I love dogs so much. I've always been willing to dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs (including small, medium, and large dogs) since high school and I love every single dog I meet! I also have a pug puppy named Marshmallow! I currently work a full-time job (8am-4pm) so I'm generally free in the evenings and on the weekends to walk and play with your pet! I love dogs and I understand the importance of potty breaks, walks, and play time. I care about your dog’s safety during walks, play time, and potty breaks! I also understand the importance of giving medications to dogs when they need it. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it naturally fits into my routine. As a pet owner myself, I'm already planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure my own pets are happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and love being active, so adding walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with pets throughout the day is something I look forward to. My goal is always to provide dependable care while helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until their family gets home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I'll always keep your pet's safety in mind and make sure they're supervised and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel confident that they were cared for as if they were part of my own family.

I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!

About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!

Jamie is the best, she’s been our walker for years and is the only one we trust to watch dog overnight.Jamie always sends the best photos and updates! We can always relax when our dog is in her care. Our dog is getting older and has a difficult time with changes in routine, it’s such a relief to know that she is always excited to see Jamie and has a great time while we’re away! She always leaves our home in perfect condition, too. Cannot recommend her enough.

Courteney is a fantastic pet sitter, I highly recommend her! She took great care of my new puppy and older pets, providing updates to ensure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Courteney even got my shy shepherd-lab mix, Bailey, to come out of hiding, typically an impossible feat for someone who just met her! We will definitely use Courteney again!

Riley was able to help us out last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. It was my first time using Rover so was a little nervous but after meeting Riley, we automatically knew our pup was in good hands. Riley was communicative and sent daily pictures so it helped us enjoy vacation knowing we didn’t have to worry about our pup. We would definitely use Riley again and recommend her to anyone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lincoln Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Lincoln Village on Rover is $44.4 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 1,502 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincoln Village. 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 Village 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 Village 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 Village 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 Village. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
