“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.”
“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.”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs through looking after my own dog, Max, back home, who I have taken full responsibility for. I have also regularly cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I’m an active person and really enjoy going on long walks. I previously had a Whippet, so I’m used to keeping dogs active and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and stimulation. Most importantly, I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I am currently a university student, but I have a flexible schedule and am free for most of the day. My university commitments are generally manageable, which means I can fit pet care around my studies. I’m able to be flexible with timings and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding and giving pets the attention they need. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am looking after them in their own home. My previous dog was a Whippet, so I understand that they can be very affectionate and often love plenty of attention, cuddles and companionship. This has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I would make sure pets have a calm and secure environment, with regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention. I also understand the importance of following the owner’s routine and instructions, as keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine helps them settle in. I’m responsible and always keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outings, while giving them lots of love and reassurance.
“Miriam looked after our 2 whippets over night. They are not the most straightforward dogs but Miriam took everything in her stride and was very professional. The house was left just as we left it. I would highly recommend her 😊”
“Kitty is great with our dog Ren! She has house sat for us and also taken care of Ren in her own home, both times we’ve come back to a well cared for and happy dog! Would highly recommend Kitty”
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.
“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”
“Wendy is always so attentive and great with our dogs! They're always very happy and settled when we get home. They've had plenty of fuss and cuddles and a walk in between.”
About: I take care of my parents 6 year old french bulldog on a regular basis, prepare food and take for walks. I have bathed and washed the dog. I would love to meet other dogs and cats I currently study a masters course at uni of Lincoln. My days are generally Weds-Fri, I can do evening feeds and walks. Monday and Tuesday I can attend most of the day I will respect your home and keep it clean. I will follow safety procedures in your home. I can update you regularly on your pet if requested
“We have been worried for a while about our dogs being with dog sitters as they each have very unique personalities! However from the start John was excellent with them and made us feel at ease, two of them were right at home with him. And the other weird one still ate her food with him outside! We are so pleased with how it went and will be using them again in the future I'm sure”
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: 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!
“Another flawless housesit for Harper! Thank you so so much for your availability, support and care of our big wolf. Very grateful to have such a friendly, respectful and trustworthy sitter like Ange. We look forward to the next one!”
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.
About: I've grown up with dogs and have been around them my whole life. I've looked after friends, family and colleagues' dogs and have also fostered for a local rescue. My experience spans a variety of breeds and ages, from very young puppies to seniors, and dogs from unknown backgrounds/rescues. I'm reliable and sensible, meaning you can trust that your beloved pets will be safe and well looked after during your time away. I work full-time Monday to Friday and I'm able to work from home most of the week. If I'm needed in the office on any days where I have visiting pets, I can arrange drop ins/sitters to come and spend time with them while I'm out. I'm very active and enjoy lots of walks, so you can be reassured that your pets will have regular exercise during their stay. I have a fully secured, fenced garden so your pets will be able to go out for regular toilet breaks, along with at least 2 walks per day (more as required). I offer a home-from-home setting, allowing for a comfortable stay where your dogs can settle at their own pace and have plenty of cuddles while you're away. Depending on the chosen service, I can also offer sitting at your own home if your pets prefer to stay in their usual environment.

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!!

FAQs for House Sitting – Lincoln
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.
