About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, and long before I had human babies, my dogs were my “kids.” Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and over the years we’ve had as many as three dogs at a time. Now that my kids are teenagers, our whole family still loves having pets around and understands just how much they mean to the people who love them. What sets me apart is the experience that comes from a lifetime of caring for dogs at all stages of life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with us. We have a nice fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and our neighborhood has sidewalks and trails that are great for walks. We also love taking our dogs along for car rides when we can, so your pup can enjoy plenty of attention and time as part of the family. When your dog stays with us, they won’t just be “a dog we’re watching”—they’ll be treated like one of our own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in a loving, comfortable home with a family that truly understands how special they are. My husband and I work remote from home and have ample time to give proper attention to the pets in our care. We can fit in lots of outdoor time, we have a large doggy door with a shaded patio and grassy, fenced lawn. Expect at least two walks a day and lots of cuddles. We have a fenced-in yard and a large doggy door, so our pet guests can come and go outside whenever they’d like. We want every dog who stays with us to feel comfortable and at home, while also making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. We enjoy spending time outside with them and keeping them active and engaged. We currently have a 10-year-old short-haired German Pointer who has always been friendly and gotten along well with other dogs. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule and accommodate their individual needs. We also have a crate on wheels available if your dog is accustomed to sleeping or relaxing in a crate and prefers that option while staying with us. Our goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and loving environment where your dog can feel right at home.
“Very satisfied overall with the experience. Provided regular updates and communication. Caution: Your little one may come back extra happy and spoiled from the love and attention/affection received. Looked very happy in the pics. Smiling Thank you Miss Mary and Mr. Felix for taking care of Max”
“Katlyn watched my 15 week old puppy while I was on a business trip. She took plenty of photos for me, and took great care of my puppy. She is very nice and her family loved watching my puppy for me. I will definately be booking her again when I need to.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Jett while we were out of town! She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and the love and attention she showed him. It was obvious Jett was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Ashley is reliable, professional, and truly treats your pet like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
About: I have had animals all of my life. I have been personally responsible for the care of my pets since I was seven years old. I was always raised to treat my pets like family, and I do the same with all animals I interact with. I regularly pet sit for my friends and family, and have been doing so since I was a teenager. I have experience with cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, birds, frogs, and most rodents. On my page you’ll find pictures of my own 4 animals (3 dogs and a gecko), plus some of the animals I’ve care for. I am a stay at home wife and mother, so I have a lot of free time in my day. My children are young, so I cannot have animals in my home that don’t get along well with children. I have three friendly, well trained dogs to get along with each other greatly. They’ve gotten along with any other dogs that have been under my care. They are also great with my small children. My dogs get fed twice a day, they get walked on demand, and they are allowed to sleep where they please. When they were puppies, they did sleep in a crate in my room. But as they were trained, they were allowed to use the crate as they please. My dogs are very spoiled, they get plenty of treats, they have lots of toys, they have their own beds, and their own blankets.
“Geraldine and her family took care of my dogs as their own. I received daily updates and detailed messages and pictures about how they were doing, and she followed all care instructions to the last detail. Her house is impeccably clean and so cozy for dogs. She responded almost immediately when I messaged her, and I had absolutely no worries while I was gone on a trip. She’s totally worth the money! She and her daughter were so affectionate with my two Boston terriers that I never had to worry if they were going without cuddles or affection. I’d trust Geraldine again in a heartbeat! My dogs came home super clean and in need of a nap, which tells me that they had the best time ❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have always considered animals part of the family. I currently have two 8-year-old cats, and until recently I also had two dogs, including a 12-year-old German Shepherd/Malamute mix who sadly passed away from heart failure this year and a Pit Bull who passed away the year before. Caring for pets throughout their different stages of life has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping their normal routines while their families are away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. My only regular commitments are school drop-off and pickup. This allows me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I live in a quiet apartment community with a small dog park that I can use for appropriate dogs. I have two friendly 8-year-old cats who are comfortable around people and pets. I also have a toddler who loves animals and a 5-year-old who is more timid around very energetic dogs, so I’m especially mindful of each pet’s temperament and comfort level. I will only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and family, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s normal routine
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own senior toy poodle as her needs changed with age. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to different routines, diets, and mobility needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m affectionate, dependable, and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but my schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and will follow your care instructions and normal routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs your fur baby may have!
“Mary is THE BEST! We had to find a last minute sitter for a vacation and thankfully she was available. She’s was so welcoming and friendly and catered to our Frenchie’s needs like it was her dog. She sent pictures throughout our vacation and her response time is super quick. If she’s available, definitely book with her! You won’t be disappointed!!!!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lincolnton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincolnton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lincolnton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincolnton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
You and your Lincolnton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
