About: I have been taking care and watching my own dog Millie for nearly a decade. I frequently walk, watch, and house sit for family and friends during the holidays. From puppies to older dogs I have experienced care with giving dogs medicine including diabetic shots. I love dogs and am passionate about taking care of them and making sure they are the happiest they can be. I’m currently in between jobs and looking for work so I am available any time during the week or weekend. I am currently dog walking for one client every week day around noon so outside of that I am available whenever needed! I frequently walk my own dog at home as well as feed them breakfast and dinner. I have dealt with many different breeds and types of dogs and can adapt to any station.

About: I have taken care of service dogs for 2 years in college now as part of the service dog club. I have taken care of puppies and old dogs so you’re in good hands. I’m working remote as a software engineer for a start up so I’m fully available for any time and any schedule that works for you. I live in a great suburb for tons of space for any sized dog to walk and play and tons of space inside as well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I have experience with dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 102 pounds. I have taken care of sick dogs as well as large dogs that have trouble walking. I genuinely love and care for every dog I encounter. I have availability throughout the week from the morning to the afternoon (Mon-fri). I am happy to do up to 5 walks a day. I cannot work weekends. I’m very aware when opening a door to not let the dogs escape. I understand that some dogs don’t enjoy their crate and have learned tricks to getting them to enter. I keep a strong grip on the leash in case of a squirrel encounter.

About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! I am currently on summer break so I should be available all day unless I have it blocked off on my calendar! I plan to travel around the end of summer and move out of Illinois in the fall. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. In fact, in April of 2022 I adopted a dog of my own being only 19 years old. I bathe, groom, feed and pay for her all on my own! I adopted her to be my emotional support animal and spend a lot of my hard earned money on her (which is very much worth it!). I believe dogs are family members and very important family members too. I believe dogs bring people together and bring happiness to the world. Therefore, I always treat dogs with the upmost care and make sure they are treated as family members whether they’re mine or not. Dogs are gifts to this world and they should always be treated as such! I am free most days that I am not dog sitting other dogs! As of right now, I am doing this job full time and am flexible! We have a smaller home which is why I have just a small dog of my own. But I trained my dog myself at the age of 19 and everyone I know says she’s the most well behaved dog they know and they absolutely adore her because of it. I will treat your pets with the upmost love and care like they’re my own.

About: Hi! I'm Sarah, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I truly believe pets are family members with unique personalities, emotions, quirks, and needs. I love getting to know what makes each one special. My own dog, Scarlet, is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu-Poodle mix with the cutest snaggle tooth you've ever seen. She's named after the Grateful Dead and has taught me so much about patience, communication, and unconditional love. Growing up with Scarlet and caring for many dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments has made me comfortable around all kinds of pets. I'm an active person who loves walks, hikes, workouts, outdoor adventures, playtime, and enrichment activities—but I'm equally happy spending time cuddling on the couch with a dog who prefers a slower pace. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and understood while you're away. I am someone who understands how hard it may be trusting a stranger to take care of your best friends while you're away. However, you can rest assured that with me, your pets will be treated as they are my own. When you entrust your pets to me, you can expect open communication during my time with your friends, receiving updates, photos, and videos to share with you how they are doing and all of the fun activities we’ll be up to! I am committed to maintaining normal routines and ensuring all needs are met. Your best friend is my best friend, and whether it’s feeding, exercise, or cuddle time, I am dedicated to providing the utmost of care, striving to leave your friends comfortable and fulfilled after every experience. Although I have no formal training in animal care, both my personal experiences and my background in Child Development as a Certified Child Life Specialist, has allowed me to collaborate with therapy dogs and children. This has helped me develop strong skills in reading behavior, building trust, staying patient, and creating safe, positive environments. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who needs extra attention, or a puppy still learning the ropes, I adapt my care to their individual needs. Outside of my job and experiences with dogs and animals, I am someone who loves nature, my favorite animal (besides dogs) is a sloth, enjoy relaxing while painting, and attending EDM concerts (house music and dubstep is welcomed). I look forward to meeting you and working with your best friends in the future! With most bookings, given around or at least a 24 hour notice, I am generally flexible enough to have plenty of time for your friends, their specific needs, and even a little extra play time or good belly rubs! I am generally available from 8:00am until 9:00pm. At this time, I cannot offer in-home services, so all of my experiences with your best friends will take place in your home! I take pride in my trustworthiness, and understand the risks and apprehensions of having someone in your home. I do my best to give my full attention to your friends while being respectful of your space. Here as an idea of my general approach with most bookings. With any drop-in services, I will provide any needs requested (walks, let in yard, playtime, feeding, etc.), while ensuring no extra mess is left behind and your personal belongings and areas are untouched. For walking services, I will spend minimal time in your common areas, other than some greeting cuddles and a little post-walk playtime. For overnight boarding services, I will ensure the impact of my presence in your home will be minimal and will prioritize the routine of your pet. I will gladly abide by any wishes or other requests you have regarding my stay in your home, in addition to those surrounding your best friend. Please keep in mind, these routines are just my template! My experience with every pet is going to be different, and I am more than willing to adapt to the style that your friends are used to. I like to provide this as an insight to what you may expect as far as my presence in your home.

About: I've taken care of my hyper active dog that likes to jump off walls for 10 years. I took care of a couple coworkers' pets (3 dogs) for weeks on end while they were on vacation. I've taken long walks with dogs no matter the weather, as long as the doggy is well prepared for the weather (ie winter coats and summer shoes). My previous dog loved sticking his head out of the car when I drive so I can drive around with your doggy if thats what they want. Taking them on nature walks will always be my favorite thing, so dogs can experience something new. I do work full time in lake forest but I thankfully have a flexible schedule, especially for lunch. I am able to take 1.5 hours for lunch so I can always swing by the house for a check in. I'm always free on weekends to give the animals the most love and care I will keep up to date on any issues that arises and be vigilant in making sure the animals don't mess up the garden or make a mess in the house. I can help clean the floors of all the dog hair

About: "What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual, not just another booking. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I prioritize clear communication by providing regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I'm also dependable, attentive to safety, and focused on maintaining the same level of care and consistency that the dog receives at home I'm currently between the jobs but looking to switch carriers and become a dog sitter and walker permanently. . . . . . . . I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their living areas stay clean, administer medications if needed, and monitor their health and behavior for any changes. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. In addition, I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lincolnshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lincolnshire on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 11,943 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lincolnshire. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lincolnshire stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Lincolnshire 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lincolnshire with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
