“Carla was absolutely wonderful with our kitty, Kiki! We were traveling last‑minute and were so nervous to leave her, but Carla eased all of our worries right away. She communicated constantly, sent thoughtful updates, and showed so much genuine care for Kiki. She went above and beyond—cleaned up litter, managed an ant situation, refreshed food and water, and made sure Kiki got tons of love and attention every visit. Kiki adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat. We are so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would 100% trust her with Kiki again. Highly recommend Carla!”
“Kate was so amazing with my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. Sent me lots of updates and photos and super communicative with how they were doing! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. She is also so sweet, professional and kind! 😊 Will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future when needed!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
“Marisa was SO great!! We needed someone to let our boy out and make sure he’s okay and she went above and beyond! We were so thankful for the love she gave our buddy and for being so reliable. Great communication and updates as well. Absolutely will book again!”
“Laura was so great with my little Bailey. Loved the pictures and constant updates. It was so nice to have someone give him love and snuggles. I will definitely have her come back!!”
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.
About: Hi, my name is Lauren and I have been around animals my whole life! I have been a professional nanny for 5 years and I feel like that helps me when hanging out with animals also! I have a sweet Maltipoo (4) and Border Collie/ Aussie (10) who are the best things that have ever happened to me! I love all animals and have been watching and taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. A couple of things: My rate is the way it is because rover takes a cut of everything. My dog is good with dogs, cats, birds, and children! I am a full time PE teacher with summers off and multiple breaks through out the school year! I am excited to meet your little angels and provide them with the love and attention they deserve! I am a full time teacher! Over the summer I have open availability, during the school year I can be in the Lincoln area by 4pm weekdays and open availability weekends. If a dog is at my house, they are welcomed as if they are my own. I have a decent size yard with grass and many walking paths near my house. If I am at a clients house, I leave the house the same or better than when I found it. I respect clients privacy and make sure the dog feels as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Viviana! I’m a 30 year old corporate professional and am home for the majority of the day due to my remote job. I live a pretty quiet, low key lifestyle as I’m engaged and have no kids. I love going on walks, reading, painting, writing and needlepointing. Pet sitting feels like a natural extension of how I already spend my time, and I’m happy to create a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. I’ve had my two dogs since college (both now seniors) and while they have very different temperaments I love them both so much. I’m experienced with anxious/ high energy / reactive dogs. My boy, Gilmore, was a shelter puppy and my first experience with this type of personality. My girl, Sophie is a lap dog personified and could sleep/ cuddle all day. They both have been with me for 10+ years. I’m home for the majority of the day due to my remote job. Walks, feeding schedules, medication, routines etc. can easily be followed as requested. I can send over updates/ photos throughout the day and can also take care of various small household tasks like mail, plants, and trash if needed.
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. So me and him are ready to be active and offer pet services in Lincoln and beyond! I am happy to work with what your pets need. Whether they are used to the kennel, have their special sleeping place etc. I am offering individualized care !!
About: Calm, nurturing sitter with strong intuition for dogs’ needs. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious pets. I create a safe, loving, structured environment every time. I am currently a homeschooling mom to two kids (6 and 8 years old). Our schedule can be pretty flexible if I have adequate time to plan. n my home, pets are part of our family: safe, supervised, and loved. I have two gentle kids (6 & 8), a loving grandma, a yard for play (no potty), and provide regular walks for potty breaks. In clients’ homes, I follow routines closely, keeping pets comfortable, secure, and cared for with consistency and attention.
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.
“Carly is super communicative and sent us fun photos of how our pups did while we were gone. We will look forward to working with her again in the future when we head out of town! She was very comfortable with our pups and their quirks. She obviously has a gift with animals!”
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.
“Montana was really great with our two dogs Barry and Bonita. He went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be using him again. Great with communications and awesome, he did a few things we needed around the house. He even took Barry on walks and wasn't stressing about going a little over the time if it was past the 30-minute visits. Montana is definitely your go-to person for your fur babies.”
“Rebekka was on time, took care to check on all animals and gave them each some love. She communicated any issues clearly and sought out the best remedy for issues with broken dog cable, etc. Super responsible. We will definitely use her again.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lincoln is $25

Marisa is so amazing! She is always prompt in her arrival and spends the whole time playing with my puppy. She changes potty pads and makes sure everything is just right for my dog. She always follows any instructions I leave, giving me such peace of mind when I cannot be home. She even brings in packages if they happen to show up while I’m away. My puppy loves her. 😍 I highly recommend her.
Stephanie was such a great sitter for our cat, Jojo. We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Stephanie made us feel at ease when she checked in daily with Jojo. Our cat is not the most social or easy cat to deal and Stephanie handled it like a pro. Stephanie was quick to respond and went the extra mile on many occasions. We highly recommend her for watching your pets.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lincoln stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
