About: I’ve had a German Shepherd and Staffordshire Bull Terrier Cross rescue of my own. I have also looked after family and friends’ dogs of various sizes. I live in a smoke free home, with no children, with a large walled garden which is safe and welcoming for your pets! I am semi-retired, looking after my own business which is on site. I can be flexible with my hours, so your pets will never be left unaccompanied. I live in a smoke free home, with no children or pets, and a large walled garden. I also live very near public green space and fields, perfect for long walks.
“Emma and her family are the loveliest people who genuinely care about pets. They treated my dog and others like they were their own. Which is so lovely to see in the many updates and pictures sent back to me whilst on her 2 night stay. I felt at ease whilst away knowing my dog was having a lovely time and being treated extremely well. I highly recommend Emma to anyone needing love and care for their pets and wanting guilt free time away. ❤️ thankyou Emma. X”
“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..”
“After Sarah agreed to look after Henry. We went to meet her and her husband Bob. Henry took an instant liking to both. We went back for a second meet, Henry ran straight upto them and into the house and made himself at home. I had no doubts what so ever leaving him with Sarah and Bob. Sarah sent photos of Henry, he looked happy and at home. I can't recommend Sarah enough to look after your dog. He will be so well looked after. Will certainly be booking Henry in again. Thank you very much Sarah and Bob for my worry free weekend knowing Henry was with you.”
“Caroline and Andrew did a great job caring for Luca for the week he stayed with them in August. He had a lovely time and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Caroline for any future dog sitting requirements.”
“Another very successful stay for Harvey with Antonia! Thank you very much for looking after and entertaining his Lordship for a couple of days, I really appreciate you fitting him in. Thank you for the pupdates and videos, they are always so reassuring”
“Jo and Helen were first class with Bailey. We were worried about leaving him as he hadn’t been very well and needed medication but we had no reason to. Jo and Helen took good care of him and giving him his meds didn’t phase them at all. We had full confidence in them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
“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. 😊”
“Could not recommend Jo enough!! From our first meet and greet to the actual stay we could tell how much they truly cared for the dogs they look after! Snoopy has made a true best friend in Angus and is already sad to be home away from him, we will definitely be using Jo, Tim and Angus again to look after Snoopy 🥰”
About: I have grown up around dogs and regularly have my mum’s dog to stay for up to 2 weeks at a time. I trained my family dog when she was a puppy and continue to recap her commands with her. I also have looked after my friends cats when she goes away by checking in a few times a day to feed and play with the cats and ensure they get time to go outside. I am a hybrid worker so have the flexibility to wfh. My hours are flexible so I can ensure I take dogs on long walks during my lunch break and that they are fed and played with at periods throughout the day. I have a fenced garden with plenty of grass and space to go to the toilet and run around. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac so very safe area with no cars passing by and a main road is a bit of a walk away. I allow pets on the sofa and have a plenty of blankets to cover furniture with so don’t mind them jumping up.
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: Hi, I’m Julie 🐾 I’ve been a dog lover all my life and was lucky enough to share many wonderful years with my two Labradors, Rubes and Rio. They were my world, and during the last four years of their lives I chose not to go on holiday because I simply wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. They weren’t “just dogs” they were family, and I know that’s exactly how many owners feel too. Although I’m not ready to have another dog of my own just yet, I really miss having dogs in my life. I regularly look after my son’s lively Cockapoo, and I also care for a colleague’s dog from time to time, so I still get plenty of muddy paws, wagging tails and dog cuddles. I work full time in an office role with the flexibility to work from home on some days, which allows me to spend extra time with the dogs in my care when possible. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and I’d also consider caring for suitable dogs in my own home. I’m an active person who loves getting outdoors, whether that’s a local walk or exploring the countryside. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to adapt to their routine, energy level and personality to help them feel happy, relaxed and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I work full time in an office role with some flexibility to work from home. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, house sitting and boarding around my schedule, ensuring every pet receives plenty of exercise, attention and care I understand every pet has their own routine, I will always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks,sleep and play. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll provide plenty of love, attention and exercise & update you with regular photos and messages. My aim is to make your pet feel safe, happy and relaxed while you’re away.
“Maggie was great with Ben and he has come home happy and content. She was really flexible and accommodating when our plans changed and would highly recommend her. Thanks Maggie!”
“This was the first time we left Peppa with someone rather than having a sitter stay in our home. So we were a little worried about how Peppa would adapt, but we needed not to worry. Peppa settled down after a couple of days and Alastrina took excellent care of her and Peppa seemed to be very happy. Alastrina also sent us updates on Peppa's progress, which was much welcomed. We are very happy to recommend Alastrina!”
“This was the first time I had left Bruce with anyone other than family and naturally I was nervous but Jessica and Jonah made me feel reassured that he was in the best possible hands throughout his visit with them. They sent regular updates and pictures of him having a great time on plenty of walks and of him snuggling on the couch. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Highly reccomend Michael and we will certainly be going back. My Luna is a very excitable, high drive dog who is not for everybody but Micheal handled it amazingly. Couldn't be happier with the care that was given.”
“Sarah was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She accomodated Kora last minute due to being let down elsewhere. Kora is still very nervous of people after being rescued a few years ago but obviously felt completely at ease with Sarah and appears to have had a great time and made herself at home! Communication excellent, updates through the stay and very accomodating regarding drop off and collection. Cannot fault at all, highly recommend”
“This being my first time leaving my dogs, i can honestly say i've never been more happier. Both dogs were more than happy with Bradley which was great to see from my more nervous people cocker spaniel and my puppy was clearly enjoying herself and having fun playing with Lincoln. Whilst ollie the older cocker spaniel enjoyed quuer cuddles. Bradley sent us plenty of pictures of them which was really reassuring and responded quickly to any questions we had. Will certainly use Bradley again as its always nice when you find a home from home that your dogs are settled and comfortable with. Would also recommend to friends.”

Christy really helped me out by having my cocker spaniel for the day whilst I was visiting Lincoln for house viewings, she even had her longer than planned so I could attend a last minute viewing which was massively appreciated! Christy was super responsive and kept me up to date throughout the day with photos (which was great as I’m an anxious dog mum!), and my pup seemed super happy when I came to collect her. Will definitely be using Christy again once settled in Lincoln, and would recommend without a doubt! Thanks so much for looking after Tui so well 🐶
Natalie is very sweet and lily loves going round. As a high energy jack Russell she never stops however whenever I pick her up she is knackered for a full 24 hours after - I’m not sure if it’s magic but Natalie clearly knows what she’s doing. She is very good with communication and pictures. I have used her many times and will continue to do so. She’s the best sitter I’ve used on rover
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!! 🙏🏼😍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincoln on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 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 .

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 .
