“Kelsey is amazing as always! I had a last minute request due to my husband being in the hospital and she accommodated the situation so quickly. She takes great care of Lilly and always sends great photos of my girl which makes my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone in the area looking for someone to watch your fur baby!”

About: I have always grown up with animals as a child. I own 2 animals and have 3 kids. Usually you'll find me volunteering for shelters doing different things: doggy day out for shelter dogs, bottle feeding puppies and kittens, helping at adoption events. Additionally to volunteering I am also offering my all round pet care in my neighborhood. I love to take dogs on long walks and treat them like they are my own. Open to your house or mine whatever fits best into your schedule and works with your pets ! I am working from home and I have a 3rd grader I am homeschooling.

About: Dogs have been in my life since i was a little girl. They have always had a huge part in my heart. I’d love to spoil your babies! I’m currently doing online schooling toward becoming a veterinarian, which has given me even more knowledge and understanding of animal care. I’m available every day of the week and can work around your preferred schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. In my client’s home, I always focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their normal environment by following their usual routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if they need extra attention or comfort. I also make sure to keep everything clean and respected while I’m there, including food areas, water bowls, and litter boxes, and I always double-check doors and gates for safety. I clean and refresh water daily to ensure pets always have access to fresh, clean drinking water. At my own home, I have 6 acres of property with divided, fenced-in areas where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy time outside without interfering with each other. Dogs are also welcome inside my home to relax and hang out just like they’re my own, so they get both outdoor space and a cozy indoor environment. I also clean and refresh water daily here as well to make sure every pet stays healthy and hydrated. Whether in my home or yours, my main priority is making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable the entire time.
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our Golden Retriever in her home! She was professional, kind and caring, with us (dog parents) and our dog! Jennifer provided text updates and pictures which we LOVED and appreciated! Jennifer and her family took excellent care, feeding and supervision of our Kea, and I would highly recommend her care for other dogs!”
“My Toast loved Tuyet! She was very attentive and patient with our pup and was available at a moments notice. She is an excellent communicator when it came to what she needed from me to make my pups stay comfortable. Thanks Tuyet!”
“John is top notch! He gives our pup lots of 1:1 attention, several walks and love. Tess is excited to go to daycare and comes home happy and tired. The household is a perfect blend of calmness and energetic interaction. Tess seems at home. We couldn’t be happier with John! Thank you for treating our pup as your own and for the consistent communication and responsiveness.”
“Fin had a great afternoon with Tracy and Alex! He played, napped and loved being there. Tracy sent us cute pictures of all the fun he was having and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our pup! Highly recommend!!!”
“Lola had a great time spending the day with Laura and her sweet pups. She’s a nervous senior but she got real comfortable and Laura sent me several pictures over the day to put my mind at ease.”
“The Erins are amazing. When my travel was delayed, she was calm, flexible and quickly made the necessary adjustments to continue providing Henry with the best possible care! When I picked him up after a week, Henry was relaxed, happy, and even made a new best friend: Otis (Erin's dog).”
“Amazing, highly recommend!! Candy was so great about communicating and updating us all day!! We have a puppy and he definitely needs a little more attention and she was so amazing.

Very satisfied with Dan and his care for my Daisy. I left food for her but none was given. Just one water break. At home she drinks a lot of water and is fed twice a day. So I am puzzled! Dan is a great host and provides great care. I will be using his services in the future!
Christel has been such a gift to us! Her flexibility is outstanding. We tend to book for a longer period than we may need daycare, because our schedules are extremely variable and we don't want to have to request more time than we originally booked for. Because of that, we've experienced her understanding on our various dropoff windows, and this time we had to do what we do everything to avoid -- ask for a different pickup time than what we booked. Christel was gracious and gave us the extra time we had hoped for, while also setting healthy expectations on what was reasonable for her. We really appreciated it, especially since our time in her area has likely come to an end. We hope to have a reason to book with Christel again in the future, but if not, I at least hope others can use our stamp of approval to know that they should book with Christel too. :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lincoln
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lincoln on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,346 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 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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,346 sitters in Lincoln, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
