“Dash took great care of our pets and was very reliable. It was a big relief to know they were in good care while we were away. He communicated with us regularly with updates. We will definitely book with him again.”
“Carla was amazing with watching our dog and house for multiple nights. She sent updates/photos and made us feel comfortable while being alone from our fur baby. We will be booking again!”
“Melissa was amazing!! We have had some bad experiences in the past and so it’s hard to find someone you trust to take care of your animals like you do. All three dogs were so happy with Melissa. We got daily updates and her communication was fantastic. My house looked like she had never even been here. She is someone I would absolutely use again.”
“My dog loves visits with Lez D. I know she is in excellent and kind hands. Lez D goes on walks, gives cuddles and plays with my pup. It eases my mind when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much.”
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.
“Jess was incredible. Our dog loved her, she gave consistent updates on his well being and navigated when our pup felt a little off. Amazing communication, incredibly clean and thoughtful. If I could give 6 stars I would!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a proud pet owner my entire adult life, with a special place in my heart for large breeds like pitbulls, malinois, bloodhounds, and bulldogs. Over the years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities — from high-energy working dogs to laid-back couch companions. In 2019, I founded a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue focused primarily on bully breeds. Through that work, I cared for dogs of all ages — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — many with behavioral or medical needs. I gained hands-on experience with training, medication administration, socialization, and rehabilitation, all while ensuring each dog felt safe, loved, and understood. In 2023, I transitioned the rescue to my amazing team so I could focus on providing more individualized, one-on-one care through pet sitting. I bring the same dedication, structure, and compassion to every pet I look after as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs calm companionship, structured walks, or just someone who understands their unique quirks, they’ll be in good hands with me. ❤️ I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, which means I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m typically only away from home for a couple of hours at a time, so your pet will have lots of company, playtime, and supervision. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, weekend stay, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. Consistency, comfort, and connection are always my priorities. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home environment where dogs can relax and feel secure. My home is pet-safe, clean, and set up for comfort, with plenty of room for lounging, play, and outdoor breaks. Because of my background running a dog rescue, I’m very experienced with different breeds, behaviors, and energy levels. I make sure each dog has the right balance of attention, activity, and rest, following their individual needs and routines. I’m home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule, so pets are never left alone for long. You can trust that your dog will be safe, supervised, and cared for as if they were my own.
About: My name is Dan Mulderick my wife and I just recently moved to the Lincoln area. We both love dogs and are very passionate about animals. Ever since I was a child my family has owned golden retrievers and I have loved the amount of loyalty you receive from our furry best friends. I've noticed that animals have been drawn to me at an early age and it would be my pleasure to take such great care of your best friend while your at work, vacation, etc. worried free. I work from home and able to relax with your pup. On the weekends I am pretty flexible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of water, potty breaks and plenty of attention. As mentioned I work from home and a fenced backyard. I can play in the backyard on my breaks. If your pup is a lap dock they are more than welcome to relax while I work, or just relax in my office with me.
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding Bryce truly made a difference. Our three dogs have very distinct personalities, and it was impressive to see each one warm up to him. Typically, our dogs bark at new people, but Bryce’s calm and confident demeanor kept them relaxed and non-reactive. He made them feel safe and cared for, which means a lot to us. We also appreciated the daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind, and he left our home just as we had left it. Without a doubt, we will continue to rely on Bryce for our pet care needs.”
“Madeline did a great job helping with our pets. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout her time with our two dogs. She was flexible with her schedule to fit our needs and did a great job taking care of them. I highly recommend Madeleine and will ask her to take care of our two dogs in the future.”
“Matthew was awesome! Lilly was so spoiled and misses him already. Leaving town with an old pup is stressful but he took such great care of her and I was able to enjoy my time away.”
“Alena took excellent care of Nilla. She gave her lots of exercise and love. She followed care directions and checked in frequently with pictures. My house was very clean when I came home. Alena did a fantastic job and Nilla was very well taken care of.”
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”

“Lauren did a amazing job watching my two dogs. My nervous doggie finally warmed up to her and had a great time. She sent photos and took the dogs on long walks twice a day. I was comfortable with Lauren staying in my house and she did a great job picking up after herself. I highly recommend Lauren.”

About: I have taken care of family friends cats and dogs while they were out of town since I was 8 years old. Growing up I had bunnies and a golden retriever dog. I have over 13 years experience in cats. I have two cats of my own: a senior & a young adult. I have a flexible schedule to visit your fur babies throughout the day to accommodate your schedule as well as keep them company. Can send cat/dog selfie updates while you are away if you would like. I have two cats in my household that don’t do well with other animals. I’m more comfortable staying overnight at your house and treat your home as your sanctuary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Carla took great care of our dog, Norbert, and our home during a week-long vacation. She was responsive, communicative and very responsible. I would give her the highest possible recommendation, and she will absolutely be our first choice the next time we need someone to take care of Norbert.
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.
Anne is awesome, we’ve only had our pooch for about 6 weeks and she’s a rescue so we were a little nervous to leave her so soon. However. Anne, came into our home and gently eased her way into our Maggie’s life, and very shortly Maggie was going on walks and loving being snuggled by Anne. She kept us updated frequently thru text and sent many photos Our home was just as we left it. And Maggie looked good and was happy I would highly recommend and will use her in the future
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 for House Sitting in Lincoln on Rover is $53.55 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,648 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
