“Emma looked after our little Bonnie for the 2 weeks we were away in Greece, we loved receiving daily updates & photos which gave us so much reassurance & made us smile every day we were away. Bonnie loved spending time with Emma's 2 dogs, Chip & Bobby, going on regular walks with them which was so lovely for her, she had so much fun with them. Seeing Bonnie so happy & content meant the world to us. Emma treated Bonnie like one of her own, giving her so much love, care & attention. She was happy, settled & clearly very well looked after. It's obvious how much Emma genuinely loves dogs. She was amazing & we can't thank her enough! We would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving & caring to look after their dog.”
“Brandy and Colin were incredible. We had booked them quite last minute to look after Maggie for our wedding. Communication was excellent, lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. They went above and beyond by bringing Maggie to our wedding reception so we could get some professional photos with her. Walking into our reception with a drink in hand to be surprised with Maggie running about is a memory we will forever treasure. We would 100% recommend booking with Brandy, thank you so much!”
“Albert I know had a lovely time. Zuzanna looked after him for 2 weeks and he is an older dog we didn’t want to use kennels. I was updated with photos and messages Will definitely use Zuzanna again. Thank you kindly”
“Each planned stay is as good as it gets with Alastrina with ease of drop offs and collections, a delight to deal with, friendliness and an obvious love for our four legged pets! Photo updates received to put our minds at rest whilst Winnie was staying with her.”
“Our dog, Isla, has just had her first overnight stay with Joe and Helen. First impressions are excellent. Both Joe and Helen are very experienced in looking after dogs with quirks! Photos were shared during her stay and it was obvious from these that Isla was very relaxed and had made herself at home. We will definitely book Joe and Helen again. Huge thanks 😊”
“Miley had the best time with Antonia and her lovely family - they included her in everything and took her on lots of lovely long walks and outings, with plenty of great video updates. It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy and well cared for when I am away - thank you Antonia!”
“As always, Colin and family go over and above in caring for our dog Frank. We always go away feeling confident and assured that our dog is very well looked after. Thank you so much..”
About: I’ve had dogs almost constantly since I was 7, of all sizes and temperaments, with a particularly fondness for greyhounds/lurchers. Have looked after friends’ dogs over the last few years too. Currently in between jobs, when I do work it will be part time. Husband currently works from home so almost always someone in the house. Like to travel and be active at weekends so weekdays work better currently. We have a small secure fenced garden with a large park and other field areas nearby for plenty of sniffs and longer walks. Teenage daughter at home who has always been around dogs. Currently have our own beagle who is fairly chilled; happy to not leave any visiting dogs on their own with her if preferred. We do live in a 3 storey house with the living room on the first floor so dogs need to be OK with stairs.
“Nina had a wonderful time with Jessica and Jonah. She was perfectly looked after and settled in right away. They kept us up to date with some fun pictures during our time away which made us feel relaxed and happy Nina was in safe hands.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better people to look after our dog, Layla. From the very beginning, it was clear that she was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Caroline and Andrew took the time to understand Layla’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away—it was obvious Layla was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Layla wasn’t just “looked after”—she was treated like part of the family. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the couple to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Layla—we will definitely be booking again!❤️”
“Jake was fabulous! We were desperately trying to find someone who would look after our dog for a week as our original carer couldn’t take dogs in season. Jake was great from the beginning. We organized a meet and greet before going ahead with the booking. He’s confident with all breeds and sizes with a very calm demeanor which has a positive effect on the dogs. Otter got 2/3 walks a day and we received daily updates of her adventures. This was the first time we’ve left her with someone else for such a long period of time but all the anxiety washed away when we met Jake. Highly recommend and in such a brilliant location in the countryside. We would 100% recommend Thanks again for looking after our Otter (:”
“Bobby had a great stay. Rob and his family are very caring people. We had updates, pictures and complete peace of mind! Thank You for looking after my boy so well! All the stars, 5 are not enough. 😊”
“Annette and Jamie once again could not have taken better care of our little Rascal. He is about 8 months old and he has come home calm happy and has been cared for and given lots of love and hugs. Annette sent updates every day of hie he was doing work pictures and this made it so easy to relax as they're the kindest people. Their dog Tinker is a lovely sweet boy too. They even spoiled him with a new bed as he loved the one Tinker had. Highly recommend and will be using again when we next go away. Thank you both so much for looking after our boy so well. X”
“I felt so at ease leaving Ronnie with Louise. On our first meet up, you can tell straight away that she is 100% a dog person. I will definitely be using Louise’s services again! She also sent lots of photo updates which was lovely.”
“Our dog was unsettled on the first night but Leeona managed to calm him down, thereafter he settled and was fine for the rest of the week When we got back home he quickly settled in, so we were very happy with the way Leeona cared for Mo.”
“Neil is a very friendly, helpful man. When I first enquired about leaving our dog with Neil, he was able to rearrange his commitments to make it possible. He had already gone the extra mile before we made the reservation. When we dropped Walnut off with him, Neil gave as a very warm reception and we could see from who he was and how he kept his house that we had made the right choice. During Walnut’s stay, Neil sent us photo and video updates. Upon picking Walnut back up, they were snuggled together on the sofa. Neil had fallen in love with Walnut and she was totally at ease with his gentle spirit. We will now use Neil every time. We are extremely happy with everything. Thank you most sincerely.”
“Mabel is a shy dog and they made her feel at home and looked after her well, lots of updates and photos during her stay. Will definitely use Christy again and highly recommend her 😊”
About: We are a friendly couple who will take care of your pet in our home whilst you are away. We lost our own pooch a couple of years ago and her passing certainly left a massive hole. I work from home 4 days a week and one in the office and will make sure you’re loved one is never left alone. Happy to go on short or long walks with your pets, whatever they enjoy. Will happily give medication if required, this is something we have experience in when looking after our own pooch. Currently work from home 4 days a week so your pet will never be never feel lonely. Also allows me to get out as frequently as needed for walks / garden play. I have a small fenced garden but we are abundant with fields and great walks where we live. Whether it’s playing with a ball or just a walk around the field on a lead, I’m happy to accommodate.
“Linnet was, again, fabulous with Bear - he was so excited to see her again which tells you everything about how well she cares for pups in her care! Frequent photo/video updates too. If you want a sitter who will treat your fur baby like their own then look no further :)”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lincoln is £30

Archie had a lovely time with Jessica and Jonah and their dog Hula. It was a last minute booking but that wasn’t a problem. Jessica sent regular updates and photos and I know Archie was in very good hands. A lovely couple who genuinely care for their four-legged lodgers! Will definitely use again next time. Thank you so much!
Colin and his family was very nice and flexible, we needed to drop Luna off a bit earlier and there were no issues! Colin was sending a lot of updates and photos, we knew she’s in good hands, she’s had fab time!! Thank you again, we will definitely book you again! 😊
This is the first time we have used someone other than family to look after Luna so we were a little worried if she would settle but we have been extremely pleased with Brandy and Family who took excellent care of Luna with regular updates and photos,We will definitely be very happy for Luna to stay with Brandy again and are hoping to book with them again very soon
Sara was absolutely amazing with my dog! She looked after her for 12 days while I was on holiday and treated her like her own. I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel so comfortable knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. She was also really understanding when I was late picking up due to traffic. My dog came home relaxed and happy — I couldn’t recommend Sara more!
We was anxious as a family with the prospect of having to find a place for our fur babies to board for a weekend. However our meet and greet with Michelle really put us at ease. She was very welcoming to us and Oreo and Myla from the moment she opened her door to us. The dogs went in very wild as If it was there home. Myla embarrassed us with giving a present to Michelle as soon as we got there and Michelle was so not fazed by it. When the weekend arrived for us to leave them there they went in happy and excited happy to bw back. Michelle let us know that they had settled well and where happy. I would definitely use again the dogs seemed as though they where looked after very well.
It was a relief finding Tasmin, Strudel had the best time and I was kept up-to-date each day with pics, videos and messages on Strudel's stay. I felt very confident and happy that Tasmin took great care of Strudel and made her feel like one of the family! THANK YOU TAZ!! 🙏🏼😍

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lincoln
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincoln on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lincoln. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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.
Sitters in East Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
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 .
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
