“Maxie was great with our rescue, he struggles with anyone outside of his pack and Maxie understood this, she gave him the space he needed and tried some positive reinforcement with him! Although he was still too shy we felt so comfortable leaving him with her!”
“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”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Bik did a wonderful job watching our dog over a long weekend. She made sure he got lots of exercise and provided us with lots of pictures while we were away. We were able to enjoy our holiday to the fullest as we knew our fur baby was safe and happy.”
“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! 🙂”
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.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of animals both in my own home, and in family and friends houses. Most notably I have looked after Guide Dogs who are in training. Therefore, I have gained experience in how to look after, walk, stick to a routine and most importantly play with dogs and puppies in order to prepare them to go to Guide Dog training school. I am currently in my Second year at the University of Lincoln. Therefore, I can be flexible around my lesson times and especially on the weekends to care and play with your dogs! I have had experience caring for many different dogs so know that every dog is different, has different abilities and needs. I would aim to follow the dogs usual routine but can be flexible to match their current needs.
“Absolutely amazing.I didn’t have any worries whatsoever.bruce loves people .he settled so well I wasn’t anxious that I was leaving him at all.thank you so much for looking after Bruce . My house was left immaculate .this is the first time I have had a house sitter for Bruce . I will definitely do it again.”
“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: Hi all, My name is Raquel and I am Canine Behaviourist. I have my small Business called Treat and Trail - Canine Wellness where I offer training along other services. In addition, I worked as an assistant Canine Behaviourist at Fern Ember Dog Behaviourist. My approach follows the Thinking-Dog method, build around making all pups feel comfortable, calm and connected. The idea behind this is all about the dog’s wellbeing, their safety and comfort. I previously worked as a dog walker during my time as a student, specialising in high-energetic dogs, tailoring walks to their needs and combining running sessions with enrichment activities. I owned different breeds and temperaments, from puppies to adults and seniors, including reactive dogs. Furthermore, I am comfortable with big boisterous dogs, small fearful dogs or socially anxious dogs. All of them deserve to enjoy a caring space with free of judgement where their only concern is about how much fun and care will receive. I have full availability and can take care of your canine companions. I own my home and I only share it with my two-years-old staffy cross, Freya. We are big adventure explorers and love finding muddy walks, climbing, swimming, running and jumping obstacles. I completely understand how nerve-racking it is to leave your dog with a stranger, either for an hour or a night. For this reason, my approach would always be to include a free of charge meet and greet with the dog parents, take a walk in the area together and discuss all your concerns. My priority is for your dog and yourself to feel relaxed and trust that your dog is in good hands. Additionally, I am fully insured and DBS checked. I have a fenced garden with lovely views to the dog park. My dog, Freya, and I are less than 10 minutes to the common, and we are ready for an adventure, as mentioned. If your dog is staying a night, we will need to prearrange a meeting with my dog, Freya and trial night to understand if your dog feels comfortable and wants social interactions. If booking my services as a dog-walker, I will take your dog individually if requested.
“Minx did a fantastic job looking after our little pomchi Peppa for one night in our house. Peppa was kept engaged, walked and well-looked after with treats! Minx even got Peppa to make a paw prints card for us. Nice touch. Our house was kept clean and tidy and Peppa was very happy when we got home. All in all, excellent. Happy to recommend, happy to book again.”

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.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Blue was very quick to respond to my very last minute house sitting request, and has been absolutely amazing! They were friendly and great with our dog, Sent loads of photos and a breakdown of time and activities through the day, and were very professional throughout. Could not recommend highly enough and will be re-booking!
Harriet did a wonderful job of taking care of our boys! They were happy and settled with her. The collie had enjoyed a lot of ball play which he is fixated upon. It was a problem free visit and gave us peace of mind to holiday. I would really recommend Harriet.
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.
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 September 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.
