“Wendy came to look after our Rottie and we were very happy with the outcome. He is not the easiest to look after but she was great with him and made sure he was looked after & had lots of attention while we were away. It was lovely to have a break without having to worry that he was okay. We will definitely be asking Wendy to look after him again, & we're looking forward to more worry free breaks.”
About: Hiya :) im Emily, I work as a project manager and do photography on the side. When I’m not busy with deadlines or behind the camera, I’m usually at home with my two cats, Kitka and Nova. They’re a mix of chaos and cuddles, and honestly, they run the place more than I do 🐱
“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.”
“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”
“From start to finish Miriam was amazing. We had a last minute panic when plans were changed and Miriam came to the rescue. The animals were well looked after and the house was spotless after her visit. Will definitely be using again. Would 100% recommend.”
“Rebecca has been amazing getting to know our 4 year old rescue Cooper at his own pace. She has built up from drops ins to a weekend sit and has been great throughout. She sent photos and updates while we were away, and the house was left lovely and tidy when we got home. We'd definitely recommend her! 🙂”
“Bik is such a lovely and caring dog sitter- she gave us lots of updates on our pack of three whilst we were away, with lots of reassuring pictures. I’m also so impressed with how well she handled our dogs, getting to know their personalities (and strength) so quickly! We have a Samoyed, Malamute and Labradoodle - and it’s not easy! Bik was unphased :-) Bik is also very thorough, making sure that she noted down as much info on our pack as possible before her stay. AND, she left our house clean and tidy for when we returned. Strongly recommend Bik as a reliable dog sitter/walker and looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Megan took care of Bramble last minute as it was way too hot for her to come camping with me. She took wonderful care of her and kept me updated with messages and videos. Bramble was so well cared for. Highly recommend”
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.
“First time Rover user and definitely a favourite to add to my list! Very thoughtful dog sitting, fussed the pooch, have her the attention she needed, fed her and relaxed whilst we were out for the day. Absolutely made up, I had multiple updates and pictures during Angela's visit! Thank you very much!”
“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.”
“Abi looked after my dog for a weekend while I was away and she was amazing. My dog instantly loved her and got on so well together. She had a long walk and plenty of cuddles and affection. So grateful to Abi and will trust her with my pup again, not having to worry at all!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Well what can we say, amazing, fantastic, brilliant are just a few words! Eddie and deb are just the best, my dogs are so happy and comfortable with them and I have fussy dogs, I know my dogs are in good hands (and the house) so I can go away and fully relax. Thank you again!”
About: Hi there! I am a law student at the University of Lincoln. However, I have always had a passion for taking care of amazing animals! I have always loved dogs and I have owned 4 beautiful dogs throughout my lifetime with my family. I have had previous experience working alongside another dog sitter Emily Kennedy in Leigh-on-Sea. We both shared clients and took care of a range of different dogs. This experience taught me a lot about dogs and myself! It taught me how much I love animals and how to care for them. I currently have a dog of my own named chase as well as a tortoise named Mint! I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals and treat them all with kindness and respect. If you give me the chance to take care of your pets I can assure you you’ll be very happy with my service! I look forward to meeting you and your lovely dog. 😊 I’m available for all week days and weekends currently as my second year has came to an end and even during 3rd year I will still have a lot of availability! When I start my third year I will update my availability to make it easier to book with me.😊 When caring for your pets I will take them on walks for as long as you would like as requested. If you live near to me we have a range of local parks or grassy areas perfect for dogs! These areas are perfect for a run around and play! However I am open to all ideas and suggestions regarding your dog. As it’s important to keep a nice routine so your dog doesn’t feel stressed or uncomfortable. If you have booked for me to stay with you’re pets in your home during the day or overnight I will make sure I have walked and fed them and made sure they’ve had the best time while you are gone! I will make sure all of your loving pets are safe and happy as well as listen to any requests you may have as the owner. This is to make sure you’re dog and you are happy and feel in good safe hands!
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.
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: Hello! I am a mature, reliable father of a teenage daughter. I have been working for a large dog walking and sitting business for 4 years, caring for all different breeds, sizes and temperament of dog. I am currently training as a dog groomer and have a City & Guilds Level 1 certificate in Dog Grooming and a Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ). I feel fortunate to work every day with dogs and I look forward to meetings yours! I currently work as a dog walker during the week, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I’m available for additional dog-sitting work from Thursday evening through to Tuesday morning. I also have flexible hours over the weekend, as I work on dog portrait commissions. I have four years of experience walking groups of dogs and dog sitting in my home. I hold a Level 2 Canine First Aid certificate and only care for one dog at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so there are no other animals in the home. I’m also close to Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise. I always aim to provide a safe, caring environment while following each owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lincoln is £35
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
We instanly liked Rohit when he came for the meet and greet. Very respectful and courteous young man. He asked alot of questions about the care for our dog and cat and took notes. Molly the dog took to Rohit instantly the snooty cat didn't make an apperance! During the stay Rohit kept us updated with photos which was lovely. Both Molly and Milo were very well cared for even the cat came around which is saying something! House was spotless. We were very pleased with Rohit and when we need another sitter we will be contacting him first. Highly recommended.
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 August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
