“Kelsey and her family took such great care of our doodle! Patient and laidback was just what we were looking for. Our pup came back home well loved and exhausted from all the fun. Already planning future dates :)”
“I just used Alesya’s dog-sitting service for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took care of my 5-pound, 8-month-old Chihuahua puppy for an entire week and treated her so well. Her home is clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy — the perfect environment for a little puppy. She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My puppy came back happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Alesya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again and again!”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Haley is amazing. I’ve received lots of updates and pictures from her. She was very accommodating on my late pick up. Smokey even got a toy from her! I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. I’m willing to drive more than an hour as long as I know Smokey is going to be well cared for.”
“Coco and Jeff were absolutely wonderful with my anxious dog. They had clear communication, were flexible with scheduling and very caring; My dog was more relaxed than she usually is after boarding. Would definitely highly recommend!”
“Greg was an exceptional host for my pups! I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and I had a last minute need and he was there to help. He kept me more than updated and ensured my pups were exercised and loved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate caring individual to watch their pups!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
“This was my very first time using the Rover app, and Nicole completely exceeded my expectations! I was super nervous to leave my dog, but Nicole was so professional, warm, and attentive. The daily updates, photos & videos showed my dog was happy, fed, and perfectly cared for. If you want absolute peace of mind while you travel, hire her! 🫱🏼🫲🏽😊 I’ll definitely be bringing Milo back & I’m glad the boys got along so well 🥰!!”
“Sheena was awesome! She took great care of my 2 fur babies for 7 nights. She's very flexible and understanding. She also sent daily updates with pictures and kept me posted on how they were doing. Thanks so much Sheena for giving them love and attention. Your place is truly a sweet comfy home away from home! ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Stars!🥰”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since childhood and bring over 10 years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family. My home includes a gentle 10-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai and two senior cats—all of whom are completely dog-friendly, non-reactive, and well-accustomed to hosting guest dogs in our home. Since I work from home full-time, I am always there to ensure your pup gets personalized attention, continuous supervision, and a calm, low-stress environment. I host only one guest dog at a time so your pet receives my undivided care. My household is calm, clean, and family-friendly. My school-aged daughters have grown up with pets and know how to interact gently and respect a dog’s personal space. For added peace of mind, my senior cats also have their own dedicated upstairs sanctuary. Indoor Comfort: On hot or inclement days, we relax indoors where guest dogs are welcome to lounge on the living room sofa (bedrooms remain pet-free zones).
“We had a great experience booking with Destiny. She had great communication and sent daily updates. We had a meet and greet initially so she was able to meet our dogs and ask about their needs. Chance and Bruno were very happy during their stay. Highly recommend.”
“This is my first timing using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with the service Yan provided. My dog is recovering from a neck wound and Yan took great care of her. Yan took her on long walk everyday and Beibei loved them! Will not hesitate to book Yan again!”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
About: Animals have pretty much always been a part of my life! I grew up always having an animal in the home, and most people who know me jokingly describe my house as a zoo. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and a fish tank, so caring for animals is genuinely just part of my everyday life. I also spent two years working at Petco, where I got hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, including reptiles, birds, fish, and small animals. I know every pet has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I’ll make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away! 🐾 I’m currently working as a substitute teacher so I can come by before school and after school so think anytime before 7:30 and after 3pm. I also babysit part time so my scheudle can be a little busy. I’m happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for you and your family. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll follow their normal routines closely, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they’re in a safe and secure environment at all times. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. 🐾❤️
“Alexis and her wonderful family gave our Toby the perfect home and pampered pet spa combination while we were away! With all of the action photos, we were able to watch him romping and schmoozing with other pups and fun-loving family members. He's always excited to go back for another stay! Thank you, Alexis!”
“Sara was so good with my dog....who needs meds and is getting older. Sara stayed in touch and my get-away was so much better because I knew my dog was in loving hands. Thank you so much Saha!!”
“Cali loved her stay at Tonya’s! She enjoyed lounging on the sofa with the family, getting plenty of sunshine in her lovely backyard, and good walks for exercise. I knew that Cali was in the best of hands while we were away, and that she was getting lots of love and attention, so I didn’t worry about her at all. Tonya is wonderful and my hope is that we can always have her watch Cali when we go away!”
“Audria took great care of Parker and went above and beyond- he hurt his foot right before his stay with Audria so he needed some extra care and she handled it perfectly. Parker is an energetic dog with an early morning schedule and she took it all in stride.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lincoln is $56

Kelsey and Alexis have been our first choice for watching our pit bull Art for the last couple years since we adopted him, and he loves his time with them so much. We recently adopted another bully mix, Ophelia, who is a little less outgoing socially. I was worried she would take some time to warm up to a new setting, but with the help of her buddy Art making her brave and Kelsey and Alexis being so awesome, she adjusted to her settings and had the best time!! If you have any worries about your pups being in great hands while you are away, these ladies are the best choice!! Thank you again for taking great care of our pups!
I am so happy to have found Sarah and her lovely family. The second time they hosted Beverly, she jumped out of the car and ran into their home, excited to see them all. There's no better feeling than knowing that your baby is happy while you're traveling. Sarah sent photos and updates, went above and beyond, and clearly cared for Beverly as if she was her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Tracy was a great option for boarding our small dog. She coordinated a time to visit with her prior to the dates so we could meet her and for our dog to meet her dog. Throughout the stay Tracy sent us many photos and had great communication. We will use Tracy again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lincoln is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $62 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,609 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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.
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 CA 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.
