“Madison was amazing! She followed all instructions perfectly and sent pictures and updates. It made my vacation more relaxing to know how happy my dog was with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I was always a dog lover since very young, as I grew up surrounded by them at my parents house. Later in life, a stray cat showed up one day at my place and we bonded immediately. I took her to the vet and cared for her but I knew I had to keep her. That's the story of how I adopted my current cat, Jojo, She is 8 years old now and mommy's girl. Besides loving them with all of my heart, my pets safety has always been my priority and I take it really serious when taking care of other pets as well. Currently I work from home so I am lucky to have a lot of time to play with Jojo and be close to her on a daily basis. So if you are at work, traveling or for some reason need any assistance with your pet, I will be glad to be help!! Services offered: House sitting: more than just stay at your home, I provide thoughtful care for your pets and your space while you are away. I will maintain their routines, keep things tidy, bring in packages, water plants, and help with reasonable household requests. I can also assist with coordinating pet services or grocery shopping before your return, so you can come home to happy pets and a home thats ready for you. Drop-in visits: I will follow your pet's routine, give them attention and affection, and make sure they're comfortable until you are back. Wheter its feeding time, bathroom break, play or pet time, or simply some company during the day, I will make each visit count. You will also receive a detailed update at the end of each visit and lots of photos, so you know how they are doing. Dog Walking: I provide attentive and enjoyable walks, tailored to your dog's energy level, paace and routine. Whether your dog loves exploring or prefers a relaxed stroll, I'll make sure they get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I am pretty flexible as I stay at home, so I am sure we can make all the arrangements to accommodate your pet when you need it the most! I believe that great pet care goes far beyond simply meeting basic needes, but being attentive, reliable, and treating your pet and home with the sae care and respect I'd give my own. I am proactive, detail-oriented and I take pride in making sure owners feel comfortable while they are away, knowing everything is in good hands. My goal is also to maintain a familiar routine, and make life a little easiers for both you and your pet(s).
“Shannon was AMAZING! My girls are very picky about who they snuggle up with and they loved Shannon. Their grandma popped in to visit and even she pointed out how they were not as amused with grandma this visit and wanted to follow Shannon around instead. I can’t thank Shannon enough for taking such good care of our babies and our house.”
“Alexandra was amazing! She exceeded our expectations for communication, attention to detail, and care of our pets and home. Even our feral kitty let her pet him! We will definitely ask her to housesit for us again!”
“Our pup was so comfy with Megan. He normally is so anxious and loses his appetite when we go on trips, and that wasn’t an issue at all with Megan! He was so taken care of and comfortable. The constant updates of pictures of walks and his normal routine made us feel at ease. She’s the best. Would 100% recommend her.”
“Jessica is an excellent and conscientious pet sitter. She cared for my needy dog and elderly cat with love and compassion. The house was kept in pristine condition, even though it rained a lot of her visit (no muddy paw tracks left behind!). I highly recommend her and would definitely have her back.”
“Erin did a wonderful job caring for our Goldendoodle and Rat Terrier. She arrived on time for our meet and greet, took the time to go over everything our dogs needed, and was knowledgeable and respectful throughout. We came home to two very happy dogs and would happily recommend her!”
“Highly recommend! Very responsive when we reached out and took great care of our dog while we were out of town! Based off the pictures it looked like Bristol had a great time and we’ll look to book Giulia for our future trips!”
“I entrusted my two pets Lia and Riley to Piper and she simply gave them great care. I have never left them alone this long before and they were not stressed out at all. Piper sent me picks and videos of them while I was on vacation. This was fantastic to see them all getting along. My plane arrived late and I miss my connection. I asked if she could stay a little long and she did. This was a great help. She also cleaned and vacumed the house before she left. Piper is someone you can trust be somfrotable that she will take good care of pets and take of your house as well. From my heart, thank you so much Piper.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, awareness, and care I bring to every dog. I grew up with a deaf and blind dog, which taught me early on how to read body language, build trust without words, and stay calm in any situation. I also have a deep, personal understanding on long-term care - I've raised my own dog since she was just 6 weeks old, and she's now nine years old. Because of this, I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved on every walk. I work from home doing fundraising for schools while raising my one year old son. We love going on walks to break up our day and he comes along with me strapped on my chest so your dog must be friendly with little ones. Pets are an extension of our family so I treat every pet as if it were my own child since that is how I would want my dog to be treated!
“Taylor did a fantastic job with our Toby. He can be a real pill but she knew how to care for him. I would never have known by his behavior that we were gone almost 2 weeks. She was punctual and handled a medical situation with him very appropriately. I will definitely hire her again. Oh and the house was spotless and even clean sheets for two weary travelers. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats before for friends and family, I also take care of my own! They’re my whole world! Your fur babies are my top priority I currently work at Sutter Health 4-5 days a week, I am able to care for your fur babies before & after work. I’m almost always available weekends 24/7! I will always make sure there are no windows / doors open or unlocked so your pets cannot get out. Along with making sure no food is accessible for them to get into easily.
About: I have loved animals since I was small, volunteered at animal rescues since I was a child, and have my own menagerie of furry critters. I worked at a horse stable for over 7 years and owned a horse so also am knowledgeable about horses, donkeys, goats, chickens in addition to cat and dogs. I have trained all my dogs for over 15 years so understand how to kindly guide dogs. I have given medicine in all forms and am well versed in pet home first aid. I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule so can usually accommodate any time of day with some notice. I walk my own dogs twice a day and live in an area with 5 parks. I take my dogs to the park frequently too so can easily add another dog to the mix. I have a fenced yard and a large pet filled home. My yard has a patio cover and a fan to keep everyone comfortable. For well behaved dogs who are cat savvy and non destructive, I can offer them to come inside and hang out on the couches. For other people’s homes, I love getting to know pets and will gladly try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to play with their favorite toys and give plenty of pets.
“Kiara was amazing for a two week care of my 90lb puppy! She was very communicative and sent lots of update pictures throughout her care. My apartment was kept very clean and my puppy was very well cared for the entire time. I would highly recommend Kiara to anyone in need of a house sitter or even dog walker, she is wonderful with dogs and they love her in return!”
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for pets, including rescues and dogs who are a little more timid than most. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe and loved. I can handle all the basics — feeding, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, and cuddles! I’m patient, reliable, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work part-time and I am home most of the time. It is very easy to fit any scheduled walk, drop-in, or even overnight stays in my schedule. Your animal is my top priority! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make their comfort and safety my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs before caring for them. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I maintain a calm, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and secure.
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. 🐾❤️
About: Not only am I an animal lover, I have been a dog trainer for the last 18 years and a Pet First Aid & CPR instructor since earlier this year. I have worked with all kinds of animals and am familiar with a large range of behaviors. I also volunteered at different shelters for over 8 years. You can trust me with your pet. I am currently a professional dog trainer with availability for pet care throughout the week. I can be flexible for mornings, evenings and weekends, working around my training schedule. In clients homes I follow the guidelines provided by the pet owner. We discuss any clarifications before the job begins ensuring we have a mutual understanding on what is needed.
“This was our first time using Rover and obviously our first experience with Fallon. She came for the meet and greet in a timely manner and was eager to listen to instructions and friendly. We were only gone for a day but she took great care of our two large dogs during that time. She was flexible with her time and accommodating. We would definitely use her again! Thanks!”
“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
I was honestly really nervous about having someone stay with my dog while I was away, but she did such an amazing job and completely put my mind at ease!! She followed everything I asked, took such great care of him, and left my house incredibly clean. I’m so thankful knowing he was in such good hands while I was gone. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him!! We will definitely be trying to rebook with you again!!! 🩵
Carla was AMAZING!! She is so sweet and conscientious, and our dachshund, Cali, loved her immediately upon meeting her. She was punctual, followed all my directions, and was in communication from beginning to end!! Cali was very happy and well taken care of when we got home, and the house was spotless!! I would definitely wholeheartedly recommend Carla, and we will be calling her again in the future!!!
Keira is exceptional! She took such good care of my crew - a very sweet and sassy 4-year-old Golden and two cats - one of whom is very old but a determined girl! She was thoughtful in her care and reached out when she had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Kiera!!!!
Hailey did an amazing job of taking care of my cat during a holiday weekend. She was great at communicating with me throughout the booking process and the stay. She sent a good amount of updates and pictures and my cat warmed up to her pretty quickly. I’m always a little nervous about leaving her, but Hailey gave me confidence that she was in good hands!
Taylor is the dog‑sitter everyone secretly hopes they’ll find. Okay, listen. Taylor watched our Bella (who is famously an anxious little queen) and somehow had her acting like she was on a spa retreat. Updates, photos, check‑ins… she had us more relaxed than Bella, which is saying something. Bella is usually on high alert, but with Taylor? Fully vibing. Cozy. Content. Living her best “I’m safe and adored” life. If you’re scrolling Rover wondering who you can actually trust with your fur baby, stop here. Taylor treats your pets like they’re her own, and you’ll feel it from the first message. 10/10 would recommend - mostly because she’s amazing, but also because I want her to stay booked and thriving.
Tyler was great! He was responsible, professional and kind. He took great care of our dog. He followed our instructions and stuck to our pet's schedule to minimize any disruption to her. When we returned we could tell she was well taken care of. Thanks! Would recommend and would use again.
Izzy’s profile had such a warm energy to it that I knew she would be great. And, she was. She was able to take care of our dogs and house on short notice, which was such a relief. The dogs took to her right away, and took great care of them. She responded quickly when I reached out. She sent me the cutest pics of the boys! We got home to a very clean house and a lovely thank you card. I definitely recommend Izzy and will call her again when I need a pet sitter. Thanks, Izzy!!
Katelun is very kind and did tend to our puppies. Everything was great when we returned. I think there was a little bit of miscommunication between us as to expectations for communication and time spent with the puppies. I was hoping to receive more updates through out the time as well as check-ins to when she arrived and left the house. She did a solid job but we should have discussed communication more thoroughly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lincoln is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $82 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.

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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align 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 favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lincoln maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 veterinarian. 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
