“What a holiday stay! Milo was so well looked after, exercised regularly and really made to feel part of the family. We received plenty of updates and photographs and he got on well with the other dogs. Thank you so much for an excellent stay.”
“Our 2 Cockapoos were so well looked after by Lindsey and Karl. They settled quickly and we got lots of updates whilst we were away. Lindsey and Karl stepped in at the last minute after a new sitter cancelled last minute and we are so grateful they did. Would highly recommend them both as our lovely dogs can be quite discerning but they loved their stay.”
“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.”
“Frank stayed with Colin and his family for over a week. As always he was wonderfully well looked after. We received daily photos and updates which we really appreciated. Colin took particular care to make sure Frank was kept cool during the hot weather. As always, a big thank you to Colin and his family we look forward to seeing them again with Frank.”
“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!❤️”
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.
“Izzy has just a 2 night stay with Joseph & Helen and thoroughly enjoyed it, I don't think she wanted to leave to come home 😂 We had plenty of updates whilst we were away and feel very confident in using Joseph & Helen again in the future!”
“Dotty had a great time i had regular updates with photos which was lovely. Rob and his wife are lovely they looked after dotty as if she was their own. I don’t think she wanted to come home!”
“Alastrina put our minds at rest instantly upon meeting her. She was very kind & was happy to follow Ralphie’s routine. It was our 1st time leaving him, but I know we felt far worse than he did and a daily photo & message kept us in the loop. She’s our go to home from home now for Ralphie & we’d thoroughly recommend her.”
“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 😊”
“This was Lucky’s 5th stay with Antonia with more booked for the future. He’s super happy and makes himself comfy as soon as he arrives! Super lovely to know Antonia’s house is like a second home for Lucky and that he knows where he is and that he’ll have a lovely time whilst I’m working 🥰🐾”
“My dog stayed with Julie for a week, she was amazing and went above and beyond for him. We met before the visit so Gus could see where he was staying, meet Julie and make sure he was comfortable with her. Unfortunately shortly after Gus went to stay he became ill due to circumstances out of everyone’s control and Julie was amazing at keeping us up to date throughout everything and took him to the vets when needed on multiple occasions. I honestly cannot recommend Julie enough. She is such a friendly and caring person and i would definitely use her again to look after Gus.”
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.
“Maggie and John are absolutely fantastic caring and easy to communicate with. We had no worries about our Dobby staying with them at all as we knew he would be taken good care of. We got regular updates how is Dobby doing with pictures of Dobby and he looked very happy. 💖🤗”
“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!”
About: We have been looking after friends dogs for the last few years and love the company and chance to get out, Mostly work from home so no dog will be home alone for long. Work from home 4 days a week mostly, fully secure garden and plenty of space. Happy to have dogs on the furniture and in bed at night, it’s what I do currently. Completely safe walled/fenced garden so no risk of getting out. Mostly home so will always have company Local field if not going on a walk outside the village.
“Booked last minute as was let down, very friendly upon booking and drop off. Brilliant with my dogs considering one is very nervous and the other is a little jumpy sometimes. Sent a beautiful photo the next day and put my mind at ease (first time leaving them with anyone) within half an hour of drop off. Both dogs seemed chilled out when picked up and Rocket even wanted to stay. Would highly recommend xx”

Bethany was absolutely amazing looking after my little Rey, making sure she had her medication, had lots of amazing walks and taken to friends so Rey wasn’t left alone ☺️ Lots of communication and was lush seeing all their adventures through all the pictures sent 🤍 cannot recommend Bethany enough!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincoln on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 399 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 .
