“Julianne did a great job of following instructions for my cats. They are a bit high maintenance due to food issues. They both came out and ate for her, which is total five stars 🌟.”

About: Hi, I'm Alyssa — Your Pet’s New Best Friend! 🐶 🐱✨ Are you looking for a trustworthy, caring, and energetic pet sitter? Look no further! I love animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your furry friend needs a walk in the park, cuddles on the couch, or just a fun day of play, I’m here to provide personalized, loving care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I’m reliable, responsible, and attentive to every detail to ensure your furry friend feels comfortable and loved while you're away. Plus, I love sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your floof is in good hands! Let's make your pet’s day extra special—contact me today to see how I can help! 🐾💖 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 9-5 p.m. on Capitol Hill. Providing services through Rover after work and on weekends allows me to assist pet parents and enjoy time with their animals as well. I live in a safe neighborhood with a dog park and suburban area making walks easy. If you wish to have your pet crated, we can do that, however I allow pets to relax on the couch and even the bed - making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while missing you is my top priority. Please know there are no plants in my home that are harmful to animals, and all toxic chemicals (i.e. cleaning supplies, detergent, etc.) are safely stored away to ensure the best safety for your pet.

“Tara brought Connor and Sterling out of their shells very quickly. They are normally quite shy around new people, but they took to her at once. I had special dental needs for them both and she made sure they were attended to. It's always good to come back to happy, well-fed cats, and that is exactly what Tara made happen.”

About: I have taken care of my parents and neighbors pets for a couple years now. I have experience with cats, dogs, and small animals such as guinea pigs and hamsters. I am able to walk, fed, bathe, and play with your loved pets! Pictures will be plentiful if requested. I’m always looking to make new furry friends! I work around noon everyday except Sundays so I am available for nighttime walks/check ins as well as the morning! The weekends I am available for longer periods to stay with your pets. I have experience with taking care of multiple pets at once as well as reactive dogs who come from shelters and may need some more attention.

She was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy the entire time. We would absolutely book with Laci again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3 years of professional experience working in a doggy daycare. During that time, I cared for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who love to play to dogs who are more shy, nervous, or need a little extra patience. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, giving dogs attention and exercise, cleaning, bathing, basic grooming, and making sure dogs are safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also handled multiple dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable keeping an eye on their behavior and making sure everyone is getting the care they need. I treat every dog like they’re my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’d love the opportunity to meet your fur baby and give them the same care and attention I would want for my own pets! I’m flexible and happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship while they’re in my care. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet is used to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable recognizing different dog behaviors and personalities. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always follow your instructions carefully so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: With over 75 dogs under my care, past and present, I bring unparalleled expertise and heartfelt dedication to every pet care assignment. My extensive experience spans all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and needs of dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives not just care, but genuine companionship and understanding. From fostering German Shepherds to volunteering at local shelters, I've honed my skills in nurturing pets through transitions. Each visit isn't just a task—it's an opportunity to forge a bond and tailor care to your pet's unique needs, leaving them wagging their tail with joy. I am a freelancer/contractor so I have plenty of time to fit time with your pups into my day. It's an excellent break for me and I look forward to every visit! As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.

“I cannot say enough great things about Mirella. She truly went above and beyond for my dog, Bella. Not only did she make special accommodations to make Bella comfortable, but she treated her as if she were her own dog. She even went out of her way to get Bella treats — something she did purely out of kindness, not obligation. Her communication was phenomenal from start to finish. She sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bella looked relaxed, happy, and completely at home the entire time. I genuinely don’t want anyone else watching Bella except Mirella. That’s how amazing she is. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and treats your pet like family, she is absolutely the one. Highly recommended! 💕🐾”

About: I grew up with dogs but have become a cat lover in my adult life. I am patient, kind, and am able to follow all instructions. I am a single mother with some extra time on my hands. I can schedule drop in visits or house sitting. My schedule can vary, but willing to work things out! I will work hard to make sure pets feel comfortable in their homes when I come to visit. I will go out their pace and play and visit as they feel comfortable.

Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.

Natalie was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my shy cat, Robin. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated perfectly through the Rover app. Parents of shy cats know how stressful it can be to leave them, but Natalie was so patient and gentle that Robin actually came out to meet her by the very second visit! I didn't worry for a second. Loved the daily photos and updates. Highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lincolnia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
