“Chelsea was amazing with our dogs who can be a bit particular. We have 3 senior dogs, 2 of which take medication. She communicated every day and sent picture updates. She was outstanding for our fur babies and allowed us to have a worry free Christmas out of town. Thank you Chelsea!!!”
“Came home to happy puppies. Rowan let me know when she arrived, feedback after first night and when she was heading out. We were only gone for a weekend so that was plenty of updates. She was responsive to my texts and she was also kind enough to keep up with an Amazon package that I received notification was arriving early. I would use her again.”
“Tori was very responsive during the booking process as well as right before, during and after she left my home. Raven has allergies and she ensured she ate and took her medications. She was courteous of my home, even cleaning up a mess Raven left for her… and consistently provided me with pictures and updates to show me how happy Raven was while I was away. I know Raven is looking forward to having her stay again!”
“Cory is awesome! I was a lil nervous about leaving my fur babies but she kept me updated every day & I got lots of pictures. She left my house clean and followed all directions I left. Me & my fur babies are lucky to have found her. Definitely will be using her again !”
“Ava is simply the best! She truly understands small dogs and managed to bond with my barky, territorial Chiweenie—no small feat! From the start, she was attentive, sweet as pie, and sent me daily updates that made all the difference. Thanks to Ava, I was finally able to go on vacation with complete peace of mind, knowing my fur babes were in loving, capable hands. 100/10 recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 🐾💖”
“Sam did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy and my cat. My dog is not the easiest- lots of energy and a bit reactive on walks- but Sam came over for a meet and greet beforehand to learn how to walk with her and what training commands I use when she reacts so I knew my babies were in good hands. My home was clean when I cam back, my pets were happy, and I enjoyed getting lots of updates and photos while I was away. Thanks Sam!”
“Very attentive. Took great care of my animals. She even made friends with my elusive cat and we all know animals have the best instincts about people. I couldn’t recommend her enough”
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs and cats. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all sizes. I have always had dogs in my house growing up, and I know the responsibilities it takes to care for an animal. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I have taken care of many kinds of pets from puppies and cats to elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting since high school and know what is required for a happy pet. I am very detail oriented and will make sure your pet has all their needs met. This includes potty breaks, food, water, medications, play time, and quality time. I can take your dog for a walk, do a few drop in visits, or do an overnight depending on your pet’s needs or what you are comfortable with. I am currently a rising junior at CofC studying Biology. I will be home (Summerville, SC) for the summer and can take care of pets all throughout the day. During the school year (Downtown Charleston) I can do drop in’s or walks in the morning before my classes, and after my classes in the afternoon, evenings, or overnight. I have an elderly golden lab and a 3 year old Weimaraner. I help take care of them by spending lots of time with them, taking them on walks, providing medication, feeding them, fetching, and giving them lots of love and support. I am very familiar with energetic dogs, and I know that they need lots of attention.
“This was the second time we had Jennifer house sit our puppy for a few days. She was as wonderful this time as she was the first. I can’t say enough good things about her care for our puppy and our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures. She even tried creative new strategies to help our puppy at meal times because we had been having some struggles. I could tell that our puppy clearly loved Jennifer in the way she interacted with her when we arrived home. Also, the house was clean and she took out the trash. We are so glad we have someone we feel comfortable with for our sweet puppy when we’re out of town. We highly recommend her.”
“Leaving your pups for a vacation can be stressful. Alaina really helped ease that anxiety by sending us pictures daily and keeping us updated. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and got lots of snuggles. Thanks again for all your help!”
“We had to go out of town for our daughter's wedding and did not have to worry at all about our fur babies. They were all well loved and taken care of. She even did some house cleaning that I did not request or expect! I could not be happier with our experience with her.”
“ZaNayah has done such a wonderful job sitting for our 3 fur babies. She has gone above and beyond!! We received lots of photos and videos, communication was on point, My fur babies were. Very happy, she shown them lots of attention and lots of Love!! I couldn't ask for a more better Sitter than Nayah!! She covered us the last minute for a Thanksgiving trip, and I got to say.. This Thanksgiving we are are definitely Thankful and grateful for Her!! The home was clean, everyone was happy and We will definitely Book with Nayah in the Near future!!”
“Mackenzie took great care of our dogs and house while we were gone for over a week. She had excellent communication and sent us regular updates. Our dogs were happy and well cared for and we will absolutely be using Mackenzie again!”
“Abriana agreed to watch our dogs super last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. The day I reached out, she came to meet them, and stayed in our house the following day. She saved our trip! My dogs loved her and the house looked better than we left it. Would highly recommend her! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“Amazing! Highly recommend. My cat can be very shy and we just moved, but he warmed right up to them! When I got home he was sweet as ever and relaxed. They listened so well in the meet and greet I didn’t have to make a cheat sheet. They were detailed, caring, and incredibly communicative! I got pictures of my sweet boy several times a day, he’s probably going to miss them! They took excellent care of my house too!”
“Amaris did a great job taking care of our dogs. She spent lots of time with them and sent pics every day. She will definitely be our go to sitter from now on. We really appreciate her genuine love for our pets.”
“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our house for the weekend while we were out of town. She sent several updates on our pup throughout the day, gave her lots of attention, and took her on several walks! I will definitely be reaching out to here again!”
“Jordyn was absolutely AMAZING! She consistenly provided updates along with pictures, was very responsive during the entire booking process and beyond. We have 2 pitties that are used to having someone home with them at all times and Jordyn made sure that they had a great balance of outdoor time, snuggle time, etc! We will definitely be calling on Jordyn to watch our pups again. If you are looking for someone who is extremely kind, reliable and attentive, then you need to contact her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincolnville
Bridgette showed up on time and was great with my Pups. They loved her and missed her the minute she left. One of my pups is terrified of fireworks but Bridgette went the extra mile to comfort him and protect him from the fireworks. We will definitely be using Bridgette again.
Victoria waa very good with Lucy. She waa able to give her meds and adhere to her feeding regimen. She sent pics of Lucy at different times even when walking her which she loves. She also washed our dishes up and kept things tidy. Will definitely call her again when we need a sitter.
I can’t say enough great things about Itziar. My pups loved her immediately and they never do that. She posted updates and sent me pictures every day. I feel like my pups were well taken care of while I was on vacation. I even came back a day early and nothing was amiss. Would highly recommend.
Gillian was great! She stayed for the weekend and loved on our animals like her own. She took our dog for a car ride one of the days and a nice walk. She kept in touch and sent pictures of the cat & dog who looked very content with her being there. We will definitely use Gillian again!
We had an amazing experience with McKenna! She was incredibly patient and kind, and she was able to build a relationship with one of our dogs who normally struggles to warm up to new people. That alone meant so much to us. She stayed in great communication the entire time, sending plenty of updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
We’ve enjoyed having Mariah stay with our dog and cat when we’ve been out of town! She’s been excellent at communicating and accommodating to our family. It’s nice having someone we can trust in our home and with our fur babies when we are away. Thank you again!
Marisa was great with my boys! I felt totally at ease with her watching them in my home. She was great at communication and sending pictures. I was looking for someone to spend most of thier time in the home with my babies and she was able to do just that. Even went so far as to let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back. Marisa made being out of town for the holidays stress-free. I would recommend her services to anyone and plan to book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lincolnville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincolnville on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincolnville. 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 Lincolnville 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 Lincolnville 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 Lincolnville 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.

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.
