“Sue was extremely kind and welcoming to our dog, and took great care of him! She was quite sweet to both us and our furry friend, and we would definitely use her again in the future for watching him. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!”
“Believe the hype! All the raving reviews about Lark are true. She’s an excellent communicator and very responsive. That alone helped me feel confident our dog was in good hands. She sends pictures and updates, and her home and yard are perfect for pups to play play play. Our dog was super happy when we picked him up and was pooped for the next couple days, so I know he had a blast. Thank you, Lark!”
“My bordoodle dog Chloe had a great time staying with Barbara and her two small dogs over the weekend. Barbara took great care of her and sent me pictures and/or videos of her every day. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Can not say enough wonderful things about Tracy and her family! She made me and Benny feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was kind and loving to Benny! Updated me with pictures and even recommended a new toy that he loved at her house! There was no doubt in my mind that she is a dog person and took the very best care of my little fur baby! Thanks, Tracy! You are the best!”
“Tre is amazing. I’m extremely protective of my puppies and she took the utmost care of them, played their hearts out, and even came home with a fresh bath. So so grateful for her care and phone updates. Will definitely be returning.”
“Ally had a big fenced backyard and my dog was very entertained during his stay! She was considerate of feeding around other animals and the fireworks going off during his stay. Would use Ally again!”
“Her and her family were amazing with our dog! We had a last minute need to watch him while we were out of town 10 hours away. I was able to coordinate with her on picking him up at another sitters house and she kept him overnight for us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and provided the pickup service. All of the pictures showed him so happy and being loved on so much. She will definitely be our go to sitter from here on out. ☺️”
“Rachel was fantastic. My dog unfortunately didn’t get along with her cat and we didn't realize that until when I had to drop him off, but she was extremely accommodating of the situation and made sure Max was well taken care of.”
About: I have 11 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience with everything from energetic, playful dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply giving lots of love and cuddles, I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and love keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away! Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life! As a dog owner myself, I already have a routine built around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I enjoy spending my free time with animals and love making sure every pet gets the care and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with pet owners to coordinate visits and care that fit their pet’s individual needs and routines! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! As the owner of two dogs, I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and a safe, loving environment.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, so caring for pups has always come naturally to me! I have two friendly, M-to-L dogs of my own who would love some new furry friends to play with. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing with them outside, getting in some extra belly rubs, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel loved. I also love taking pictures, so you will get plenty of them while you’re away! I work during the day with a fairly flexible schedule and occasionally have the option to work from home, which allows me to be available and spend extra time with your pups. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and burn off some energy! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their people are away. I know how much our furry family members mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pups! 🐾 I walk my dogs after I get off work (usually around 9a), I stay a bit so they can eat, then go to bed around 11a-12p. My boyfriend gets home around 5p and lets the dogs outside in the yard. When I get up by 7p, I feed the dogs and we sit and play. I let my boys on the couch and in bed with me, they are absolutely spoiled. I don’t have any crates but we have a 3 bedroom house I can put my dogs in if needed. I always enjoy feeding my dogs special and nutritious meals because I’m really into health, so your dog can try some new foods!
“Paul and Stephanie were great. This was the first away from family trip that my dog has had in a long time and he seemed to have a great time. They were very accommodating to him and were great about sending picture updates to let me know he was happy and being cared for. Would highly recommend.”

“It was our 1st time leaving our fur baby overnight & we are so glad it was with Ashlee! She gave him her undivided attention all weekend & sent us several updates. He came home exhausted but happy from his weekend of playtime!”
“Brooke was great! She watched one of my dogs last minute when I was in a pinch and was even flexible when I had to extend my stay another day. Rocket got along great with her other dog and Brooke sent photo updates frequently that gave me peace of mind. Will book with her again!”

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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lincoln can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincoln home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lincoln.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lincoln sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
