About: I’m Blu! I have been studying animal care since collage and study animal behaviour and welfare at uni! Iv had many pets through my life and always love meeting new fuzzy friends. I have worked in dog kennels and groomers along with reptile shops. I’m happy to work with any breed and behaviours and try and work on some training if wanted! Unfortunately due to student housing I am not able to take in any pets but can visit and play for a while! I am currently unemployed and have nothing to do!! At home I have a pet snake and use to have a dog who I lost to diabetes but had a verity of pets over the years. Now a days I have lots of free time (which I spend doing art) so same day calls will be no problem as I’m free most days. I use to spend a lot of time exploring with my pup, seeing new wooded places but also getting him use to loud areas. We worked on recall so when I saw him sniffing something to eat or roll in he would instead focus on me. Iv worked with many animals over the years including cat and dog behaviour training. What’s important to me is learning who I’m with and what personality they have, whether they prefer a chill cuddle or an excited play I’m down for whatever makes them happy!

About: Hi, I’m Sophie! Before my loyal Malinois, Four, turned me into a full-on dog person, I was a lifelong cat lover—so I truly understand both feline independence and canine companionship. I offer calm, trustworthy care shaped by years of hands-on experience with a range of pets, from affectionate lap cats to high-energy, working-breed dogs. Thanks to Four, I also have experience supporting dogs with pulling, reactivity, and basic training needs—so I know how to keep walks safe and stress-free. My partner Scott often lends a hand on walks and drop-ins—we’re both passionate about animals and committed to providing gentle, reliable care. Whether your pet needs company, exercise, or just a steady presence while you're away, I tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. Because your pet deserves a Five-Star experience! I work full time during the week, but caring for animals is a core part of my daily life. I walk my own dog, Four, every day—rain or shine—so I’m used to fitting pet care around a busy schedule. I don’t work weekends or during school holidays, which gives me extra flexibility for drop-ins and walks. My partner Scott is also an animal lover and often supports with afternoon visits when needed, but I’m always the main point of contact and responsible for bookings and care. Pet care is second nature in our household! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I hold a current DBS check and treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own dog, Four. When walking dogs, I ensure they’re secure on a lead—especially those with reactivity or pulling tendencies—and always check the environment for potential hazards. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure space tailored to your pet’s needs. For drop-ins, I create a calm, familiar environment for your pet by sticking to their usual routine—feeding, providing fresh water, and giving them the attention they’re used to. I take extra care to follow any specific instructions from you, and I’m always happy to send updates to keep you reassured. Whether your pet is a dog or a cat, I treat them with kindness, respect, and care, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their environment.

About: I have lifelong experience as a dog owner and previously raised two dogs of my own. I took care of all their daily needs, trained them from puppyhood, house-trained them, and provided proper medical care and medication when they were sick. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention as my own pets, ensuring they feel safe and happy while away from home My schedule is structured to give pets plenty of love and care. On weekdays, I am free from 3:00 PM, which is perfect for afternoon walks, feeding, and evening relaxing together. On weekends, I have an open schedule and am available all day long. I am also very punctual and will strictly follow your pet's usual routine for feeding, medication, and bathroom breaks Safety is my top priority. I provide a clean, pet-proofed space where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I closely follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and routines, and I ensure constant supervision during playtime and walks.

About: my family have had an encyclopaedia of animals since I was a baby, from dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, cockatiels, love birds, Tropical fish, rabbits and Guinea pigs. I am now currently in my 30s with 2 children and 2 of the most energetic loving border collies. I often take care of all my families pets when they are away on holiday. I have had the rare opportunity of looking after my brothers chicks, from egg to chick to juvenile. I am currently working part time trying to make my way in the animal business, I have 2 children who are currently at school so am available from 9:30 am to 2:45pm Monday, Tuesday and Friday to play and have fun with your pets. Weekends are strictly family time. For walking I ensure I have lots of suitable treats, and an on the go water bottle ready for your pet and those long journeys we will take, along with very sturdy leads! My dogs love to pull because of their breed, so I make sure only to use the best of the best. I have a cushioned base in my car for comfort and suitable safety harnesses for the drive, because a walk around the block is just simply not suitable all the time. Accompanied with a long line lead, to build and develop that trust, so your dog can run but stay safe.

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. From cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and spiders! My love for my animals is like no other. As soon as I left home I knew I needed to fill that dog sized hole in my life, I now have two crazy cockapoos, four rabbits and a hamster called Dora! My friends and family are always making bets on what pet I will be getting next! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently on maternity leave and have made the decision to leave my previous job so I can be as present as possible for my baby. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, administering lots of cuddles, or simply keeping your pets company, I can easily adapt to their usual routine. I understand how important consistency is for your furry friend, so I’m happy to work around their individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while you’re away. I offer pet care in the owner’s home as well as dog walking, and I always make sure I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, exercise, playtime, toilet breaks, and any specific care instructions such as medication or special dietary needs. I understand how important consistency is for all animals, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled in their own environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and stimulation depending on what they enjoy, whether that’s walks, play, or simply companionship. Being flexible and available means I can provide reliable, attentive care and regular updates, giving owners peace of mind that their pets are happy and well looked after.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my gentle, attentive approach to their care. I've cared for dogs, cats, hamsters and had 4 pet rats of my own. I have experience of training a puppy basic commands such as sit, stay, paw, lie down. I also trained one of my pet rats to sit on my shoulder whilst I carried out tasks round the home. This shows my passion for building trust with the animals under my care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs and I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and well cared for whilst in my care. I'm currently working part time on a rota basis so in general won't have availability the same every week. However, I am fantastic with last minute bookings and can be really flexible to suit your needs. Someone has let you down? No problem, give me a call and I'll do my best to help. I can support with dog walking, daytime (and potentially overnight) sitting, once/twice daily well-being and feed visits. I am a reliable individual with insurance and have references I can provide with people who have trusted me in their home while they are away.

About: I’ve had two dogs and 4 cats in my life. The dogs were black labradors I had with my parents one at a time and walked and looked after from puppy to senior. The first two cats we got one at a time as adults, while living at my parents. The second two we got as kittens together and are currently 1 year old while living with my wife. I have also had gerbils, rabbits, fish, horse and chickens while living at my parents. I also used to walk my Granddad’s black Labrador and have had experience with my Uncle’s Jack Russell and Brother-in-law’s Dashhound. I wake up, feed the cats check their water and clean the litter tray all before breakfast and dropping my wife to work. I currently work with schools so the holidays are free. I feed the cats their tea the same time we have tea in the afternoon and currently go for a play in the garden when it's cool in the evenings. I would check on your cats, have a bit of a play and make sure they have food, water and a clean litter tray. For a dog walk I would like to know your regular routine and would be happy with any kind of terrain or weather.

About: As a lifelong pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves adventures, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. 🐾❤️ Healthcare professionals can leave their dog with me for their 12hour+ shifts. I am a nurse and I understand the difficulties in accessing daycare that works for you. _________________ Important: As I have my own dog, I can only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. For the safety and wellbeing of all pets in my care, dogs must be neutered/spayed. I also require a meet and greet before any booking to ensure the dogs are comfortable with each other and that your pet will be happy, relaxed, and safe in my home. I carefully manage introductions and household spaces so that all animals in my care can feel safe, relaxed, and secure. I live with my dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so my routine naturally revolves around caring for them, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I work at an hospital, and my pet-sitting availability varies weekly so please check my calender. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs and routines, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I do because I love it, not just as a service. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden for dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, and my home is a calm, pet-friendly environment. For added security, I also have CCTV covering the property. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, routines, and any specific requirements. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when away from home, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine and provide plenty of attention, reassurance, and enrichment. I live with my friendly dog, Simba, and my 17-year-old cat, Tiger, so I’m experienced in managing a multi-pet household and recognising individual needs and personalities. I’ll ensure pets are fed, exercised, kept company, and cared for according to their normal routine, while also providing updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾❤️

About: I have grown up around dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. As a dog owner myself—to two wonderful French Bulldogs—I fully understand the love, patience, and attention to detail that pets need to feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I offer both house sitting and dog walking services, making sure your pets maintain their regular routines, feeding schedules, and exercise habits. Whether it’s energetic play, relaxed walks, or just cozy companionship at home, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Having experience with smaller breeds like Frenchies, as well as larger dogs from my upbringing, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and care requirements. You can rest easy knowing your home and pets are in safe, loving, and reliable hands—with plenty of updates and photos along the way! I am available evenings weekends and some weekdays. I structure my day around giving pets the dedicated time and attention they need. Whether I am house sitting or dropping by for walks, pet care is my primary focus during bookings. My schedule allows for regular walking times, consistent feeding schedules, play, and plenty of quality downtime. I am always happy to adjust my routine to match your dog's specific needs, ensuring they stay on their normal daily schedule while you are away. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I follow all owner instructions precisely—including meal routines, leash protocols, and house rules. I make sure spaces are kept secure, maintain clear communication throughout the stay, and send regular photo updates. Having my own two Frenchies, I am very attuned to safety, heat sensitivity, and keeping dogs comfortable and calm in their familiar environment.

Nicole sent lots of pictures after each drop in, was great with communication and followed all the instructions we left perfectly. I'd absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!

Annie looked after our cat while we were away on holiday and we couldn’t be happier. Annie arrived on time for every visit, followed the instructions, kept the water bowls fresh, cleaned the litter tray and played with our cat. Our cat is usually shy around new people, but warmed up to Annie after first visit. We loved getting photos and updates regularly from Annie at each visit, which gave us peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Annie and we would gladly book Annie again.

Gemma recently looked after our cat Bruno - dropping in daily to feed, play, clean and give much needed attention to him whilst we were away. I cannot rate Gemma highly enough. I have experienced less than ideal cat sitters in the past who don't provide the care and enthusiasm that Gemma does. I received daily updates with photos and felt reassured that both our cat and our home was in good hands. At the initial meet and greet, Bruno was a bit unsure and hissed but I could tell that Gemma was unphased and simply understood cats and how they can be wary at first. It can be hard leaving your cat whilst your away but they will be in safe hands with Gemma - thank you.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lincoln

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lincoln on Rover is £15.07 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

There are 295 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Lincoln. About 88% of Lincoln sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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 our Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 cat, 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 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.
