“I couldn't recommend her enough, Maxie was absolutely wonderful with my boys Archie and Tonka. She listened to everything I told her when she came for a visit and remembered it all. My boys loved her and were very happy to see her, will definitely be booking her again.”
“Rohit was a home sitter for my 13yr old staffie- collie cross. He was caring, responsible, attentive to details and had a great bond with my dog. He was flexible with the dates and times which made things so much easier for me. He was contactable by phone and sent updates. I would definitely recommend and book him again.”
“Looked after our cocker spaniel for a week. Kept us updated daily and always fast to respond. Lovely photos received of great walks and the house was pristine on return. Thank you.”
“Elizabeth and Kaelin went above and beyond when looking after my old lady especially when it was their first time looking after her and at short notice. She had a poorly claw and cone on and I was concerned they may not feel comfortable cleaning her paw. They sent me several updates with pictures and videos which was lovely. Upon my return they have stripped and remade the bed, left the house spotless and even bought me some milk so I could have a cuppa after my late flight! Would highly recommend and will be using again!”
About: I have several years of hands‑on experience caring for small dogs and cats. I regularly look after my sister’s two chihuahuas — one high‑energy and one more sensitive — and have been caring for them for around three years while she travels. I’ve also grown up with dogs in the family, so I’m confident supporting different small‑dog personalities, from lively and playful to shy or routine‑focused. I offer a calm, steady presence and follow each pet’s needs closely to help them feel safe and settled. I am self-employed and live life at my own rhythm, which means I have the time and paced energy to be there for your pets throughout the day. My routine is flexible and calm, so I can offer steady company, walks and care whenever they need it. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most settled. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they have steady company, walks and attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I give your pets.
“Yet again, Bik did a great job looking after our boy. Excellent updates through the week, and we came home to a happy dog and looked after home. It really helps put our minds at rest knowing he's been looked after (including getting roast chicken treats!)”
“Really pleased we booked Wendy. We have never left our dogs with anyone other than family before so we were a bit nervous. Wendy was still here when we got home and our two dogs were not even bothered with saying hello to us, which says it all ! We will certainly use her again if she is free. Thank you so much Wendy”
About: Fully licensed, insured and Pet First Aid Trained. My partner and I have both had Dogs all our lives including a few with behavioural quirks. We are very patient, friendly and understanding and more than willing to tailor our pet care to your pet's needs. One of us works part time including some from home and the other is fully from home so we have a lot of time between us to give your pet all the attention they need. We are both non-smokers. No children or other pets. A decent sized fenced garden that's complete secure and some very nice countryside nearby for lovely long walks.
“Monika was great. Met up prior to a house sit and she is lovely and friendly. The cats warmed to her and I was kept up to date as to there progress over the weekend. I would happily have her back to look after my fur babies. Thank you Monika!”
“Harriet was wonderful with Luna and Luna loved her. Luna was extremely well looked after and Harriet obviously loves dogs and enjoys her time with them. Harriet also looked after our house including putting the bins out at the appropriate time and everything was left in excellent order. I would thoroughly recommend Harriet to pet sit in their own homes. I would be very confident to have her come to Luna sit again.”
About: I live in a house with four dogs which two of them are my own. I have two miniature dashchunds which I have owned from puppies. I have toilet trained them and trained them out of bad habits. I love them with all my heart and treat them as my children! I also help look after the other two dogs in the house, a beagle and a pug. I am on a zero hour contract so this fits in very well with my schedule whilst also doing something I love and am very passionate about. I will care for your animal in your home like I would care for my own. I will take them for walks, play with them and always provide cuddles! I can also give any medication if needed.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over five years, starting with my family dog at my mum’s house. After moving out, I got my own dog and have since welcomed several cats into my home. I’m experienced with feeding routines, grooming, walking, playtime, and general care, and I’m confident handling pets with different personalities and needs. I work 35–40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, between 8am and 6pm. This means I typically have 2–3 mornings or afternoons off during the week, depending on my rota. I’m fully available on weekends. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home, I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment. At my home, I have a decent-sized fenced garden where dogs can enjoy secure outdoor time, fresh air, and play. Pets are treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, cuddles, and comfort. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pets feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my absolute favourite. I have taken care of my own dogs, but friends and neighbours also rely on me to take care of their pets. I always make sure to account for the needs of the pets in my care, whether they need a walk, a bathroom break, or a tummy rub. I also have a supportive family that also loves dogs. The dogs in my care have a totally supportive environment. Pets in my care always have priority. I will only agree to take care of dogs if I know that I can put them first. I have a fenced garden and a supportive family. Dogs will have access to most of the house - wherever they feel most comfortable. It is a non-smoking house. The stairs can be dog-proofed if required.
“Fantastic. Highly recommend James. Came home to very chilled out dogs and tidy house. Sent regular updates and photos and we were able to enjoy our few days away. Will use again. Thank you”
“Maggie was so lovely - she came to meet the dogs before looking after them! Great communication and the doggies loved her!! Thank you so much for taking care of them xx”
About: I have experiences of a whole variety of pets. I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have walked and sat for: beagles, labradors, west highland terriers, Irish terriers, schitzus, spaniels, schnauzers, sheep dogs, and the list goes on! I have two cats of my own who are beautiful (but obviously I’m biased!). They’re Siamese x ragdoll so very chatty and very needy. They can do lots of tricks including sit, spin, stand, paw, fist bump… I’ve certainly put my psychology training to good use! I’ve also had cats all my life so I’m very familiar with this, too, whether that’s indoor cats or outdoor cats! I also have lots of experience with pet rats as well as chinchillas and have regularly house sat and done check ins for these animals too :) I nearly always work from home and love the company of pets for house sitting, but also love to get out and go for walks - even better if I can do that with a dog or cat! I have experience of a whole variety of different environments and animals. I’ve worked with dogs who get on well with other dogs and also hate other dogs, and also dogs with anxiety and who are very nervous. I’ve also looked after both indoor and outdoor cats in a variety of settings so can easily adapt to you and your pets needs as you see fit :)
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our Labrador Paddy over New Years Eve while we went to a wedding. She was super responsive and we felt very reassured by all the photos we were sent of their time together. She stayed in our house for us so Paddy wasn’t unsettled and she left everything perfectly tidy and neat. Thank you!”

Harriet was wonderful with Luna and Luna loved her. Luna was extremely well looked after and Harriet obviously loves dogs and enjoys her time with them. Harriet also looked after our house including putting the bins out at the appropriate time and everything was left in excellent order. I would thoroughly recommend Harriet to pet sit in their own homes. I would be very confident to have her come to Luna sit again.
We would highly recommend Leah! We have 3 cats and 3 dogs, who Leah cared for and walked while we were away. Leah ensured we had photos and updates daily. We have an elderly dog who struggles to settle but he, and the rest of the animals, were settled, happy and content on our return. Thank you, Leah!
Christy house sat for us and looked after Piglet and Pumba our 2 sausage dogs. She was super responsive when booking and looked after the boys so well - sending updates and taking them for lovely walks which they enjoyed. She also watered the indoor plants and put our chickens to bed going above and beyond. She and her partner left the house in an immaculate condition and the boys were both well looked after. We will definitely be using Christy again and highly recommend.
Anya was fab!! House sat our 10 year old jackapoo. Anya came and met us all a few days beforehand and was very calm and relaxed with Poppy. Poppy seems to have had a lovely time while we were away and has been spoiled. Anya bought some treats and left them for her. Would recommend Anya to anyone and will definitely use her again.
Ellie was an absolute delight to work with. Came and saw our pets before the stay and looked after them and the house and all was good. We were able to enjoy our daughter's wedding with full peace of mind. Would heartily recommend Ellis to anyone wanting pet cover- thanks Ellie!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincoln on Rover is £34.5 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 .

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Lincoln walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
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 Lincoln choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 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.
