“Tracy was great, took great care of Bracken, and sent updates throughout the day! She was nice enough to accept our request last minute. We will definitely bring Bracken back!”

“Christopher took good care of my dog and cat while I visited the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville. He provided a cool place for my 19 year old cat to relax and 2 sweet dogs for my young cattle dog to play with. I’d definitely use him again when I visit Bentonville.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attentiveness, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” pets — I learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience with small and senior dogs, including my own 12-year-old mini poodle, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, medication routines, mobility support, and calming anxious pups. I understand that older dogs and shy pets need a slower pace, consistency, and lots of reassurance — and that’s exactly what I provide. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in calm, capable hands. Whether your dog is playful, timid, energetic, or just wants to nap next to someone kind, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. 🐾 I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, medication, and potty breaks on a consistent routine. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care, I plan my time so your pet's needs always come first. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide calm, consistent care. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep everything secure. In my home, pets are treated like family in a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of structure, play, rest, and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and connected while you're away.
“Becca was super knowledgeable and extremely conscientious about what was appropriate for my puppy, Ripley. We had Becca watch her for two days and although our 5.5 month old had never been left with anyone else, and is generally stand-offish, she ran to Becca full of wiggles and smiles on day two!! We were only visiting, so the care was extra appreciated and made it possible for us to do a few activities that we would have otherwise had to miss. It was a wonderful experience and a win-win for our whole pack!”

“Lark was great with my pups! She was very accommodating and helped me out when one of them wasn't feeling well during their stay. She sent lots of pictures and made my pups feel at home.”

About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!
About: I’ve had many cats and dogs over the years. My Chocolate Lab, Holly, was 16 years old when she passed away a few years ago. I raised her from a puppy all the way through her senior years. I’ve recently retired so my schedule is fully open to for pet sitting. I am looking forward to having some cats and dogs in the house again. I have a fenced in backyard. Half of the yard is concrete pad with a covered pool, and the other half is grass. I also have a gazebo that gives a good amount of shade for animals to relax under.
“Absolutely fantastic! This was our first time hiring a sitter for our pooch and Ally made the process smooth and comfortable. Her home and family is super pet friendly and they have a genuine love for animals. We will definitely book with Ally again!!!”

About: Hi, fellow dog moms and dads! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I work remotely, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles throughout the day. I intentionally keep a limited number of boarding dogs so each guest receives individualized attention and care. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I may care for multiple dogs at once, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs simply need a quiet break. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing in a crate for short periods when needed. I also feed dogs separately to help prevent resource guarding and ensure everyone can eat safely and stress-free. Every dog is different, so I tailor enrichment to their personality and energy level, whether that’s fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, frozen treats (with owner approval), or other engaging activities. I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) and understand the extra precautions they require regarding heat, breathing, and activity levels. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, providing slower-paced walks, gentle routines, medication administration when needed, and the extra patience and monitoring they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified through the American Red Cross and keep fully stocked pet first aid kits both at home and in my vehicle. ✨ Optional Spa Add-Ons (Boarding Guests) * Bath (short-haired dogs) * Brushing * Teeth brushing * Ear cleaning * Paw balm treatment Just mention your interest when booking, and I’ll send over pricing and details! A few house rules to help every guest have a great stay: * 🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable around other dogs. * 🐾 Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or destructive behaviors so I can determine if my home is the right fit. * 🐾 Dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I’m a dog owner myself. I work fully remote, so I’m used to planning my day around potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and check-ins. Because I’m home during the day, I can be responsive with midday drop-ins and walks and communicate quickly if anything comes up. I keep a consistent schedule and plan routes close by so I can be reliable and on time. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Drop-in visits (up to 40 minutes) are perfect for a midday check-in while you’re at work or away. During each visit, I’ll follow your routine and make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for: a potty break, fresh water, feeding if requested, and some playtime/affection. I’ll also do a quick check that doors/gates are secure before I leave. Dog walks (up to 30 minutes) are a dedicated, leash-only walk for exercise and enrichment. I’ll walk at your dog’s pace, allow time for sniff breaks, and prioritize safe leash handling the entire time. After the walk, I’ll make sure your dog is settled with fresh water and I’ll send photo updates and a recap (including potty info). Boarding your fur baby at my home is like summer camp for them! I have a huge fenced in back yard and work from home so I am home majority of the time. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I often care for multiple dogs, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs need a break from one another. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing quietly in a crate for short periods when needed. This allows me to provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every guest. My boarding program is a great fit for dogs who: • Are crate trained • Are house trained • Are friendly with other dogs • Can be left alone for a few hours without excessive barking or anxiety • Are up to date on vaccinations & neutered
“Today was an overall good first day for our pups with Bianca. They seemed happy and content upon pick up. We have additional reservations next week for the pups to get to know Bianca better and settle into a routine. Really appreciate Bianca’s flexibility in scheduling.”

About: I have grown up with pets galore and I am a huge lover of all animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies behind, but I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable until you return! I love to be outdoors, so if your dog enjoys hikes or swimming I would love to take them with me. My pup, Cricket, would also love a friend to play with! I work remote, so can be attentive and present to all needs during the day with potty and play breaks every 1-3 hours as needed I have a fenced in yard. Pets will be walked, fed/watered according to their schedule, and get lots of play and love during their time.
About: I have a natural gift and tons of love in my heart for all animals, was raised on a goat farm had many different types of animals and pets. I have one 16year old fur babies of my own. She's my bestie. Also have a cat for 6 years she is also my bestie in her own kitty ways. 😁 I'm a positive thinker who has a huge heart for animals, I believe they are just angels here to protect and love us. I treat them all as such. I would prefer right now not to care take because I have a very small apartment with an older dog and a adult antisocial kitty.
About: I have loved and raised animals as an adult for 20+ years. As an adult, I have cared for my hoo-man kids, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, indoor rabbits, and chickens! I have also done long term dog fostering in my home for a few months. My home is cat and dog friendly with a built-in, gated, doggy-den under the stairwell (used as a night kennel and day napping area). I have a fenced one acre property and the back yard is entirely fenced with 6' wood privacy fencing. For over two years, we have rented our backyard on SniffSpot as a private dog park (while we and our animals stay inside during their 1-hour reservation). My home has great windows for squirrel and bird watching. We have a large home where doggy day care and boarding pets will also get the love and attention from my husband and our teenagers (no children age 12 or younger in the house). We have loved many pets over the years. Right now we only have one cat, who can be kept completely separated from your animals the entire time I board them. I do not work outside the home, so I have a flexible schedule at home allowing me to provide in-home pet sitting at my property, or to check on your fur-babies throughout the day. My teens and I enjoy volunteering with cats at our local shelters and we used to volunteer with horses (cleaning stalls, brushing, and cleaning their yard). During my childhood I lived and help care for several different dogs, cats, rats, birds, chickens, and hogs. I dog walked in elementary school for a neighbor. Then at age 18 I began overnight house alone and pet sitting for households with dogs and horses. I am currently a stay at home parent, most recently working a remote job from home. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets in my home, or check on your fur-babies at your home. I have a fenced one acre lot which is also rented to dog owners on SniffSpot. We are home during the day and can provide frequent potty breaks and attention. Our children are age 13+ are great with dog and cats and have always lived with pets and helped care for them. We have done long-term dog fostering in our home, and we loved our 110+ pound older dog rescues in our doggy retirement home until they crossed the rainbow bridge. We have one cat, who can be kept in a separate bedroom if one of our new house-pet guests needs space. My children have been dog sitting for a neighbor in their home for over a year for feeding, potty breaks, and enrichment in the yard with them. My kids and I look forward to pet-sitting in our home again, or providing enrichment and attention to the pets at your home during your travels.
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the last few years. With working from home it makes it easy for me to help out when needed. I have house broken 4 puppies and 1 adult that was not house broke when we got him. I’ve had experience with dogs with anxiety, yeast prone and dogs that have allergies. I know how to give shots if needed. We’ve rescued dogs and rehabilitated who were abused and neglected that had severe anxiety and trust issues. He have a larger home with a good sized fenced in yard full of love and fun! Reach out with any questions! I work full time from home Monday thru Friday. I am home the majority of the days my home schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to care for pets anytime of the day. We have 2 dogs, one large one small. We have wood and tiles throughout the home in case of accidents. Our home is 2700 sqft with a decent sized fenced in yard perfect for play time. We have a large patio that we utilize often that is covered with a large fan and plenty of shade. We don’t usually let the pups outside without us being out there.
About: I have experience in taking care of pets ever since I was 5 years old. I have the most experience with taking care of dogs with feeding, bathing, walking, and training. A pet is a family member and will be treated as such. I work from home every day and am able to freely care for your furry friend throughout the day and attend to their needs as needed. I have 3 kids who also love dogs. I am open all week and will make sure your pet is considered part of the family when taking care of them. I do not have a fenced-in yard but will walk your fur baby daily. We go out 3 times a day every day and have play time or stimulation such as lick mats daily.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lincoln
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lincoln commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
