About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community, but have been caring for animals for neighbors and family for the past 10 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as cats! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to learn and adapt how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them! I am currently working Monday-Thursday and am available for weekday evening walks or weekend drop-ins and house sittings. I am also flexible and can accept last-minute bookings. I'm currently working full-time, with 4 10-hour shifts. This leaves me plenty of time to play with your pups anytime Friday-Sunday and after 6pm Monday-Thursday! I can take care of your animal however you prefer in your home! I can crate if needed and am more than happy to accommodate however you see fit!

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals for over 10 years. I love working with animals, specifically learning how I can take the best care of them. It makes me happy to keep pets and the environment as healthy as possible.💚😁 I have a ginormous yard where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and play around. I am usually visit pets 2-3 times a day, anytime during the day and possibly available for over night stays. If there is anything else you or your pet needs, just ask!! I have a very large yard with no fence. I can keep dogs on a leash if needed. There’s plenty of space to run and play.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young — I grew up in a family full of dogs and developed a love for caring for animals early on. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats and even chickens! For the past year, I’ve also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and needs. This experience has made me confident in reading animal behavior, creating a calm environment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your furry friend is in caring, reliable hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which gives me daytime availability to care for pets, provide walks, drop-in visits, and spend quality time with them throughout the week. I’m hoping to dedicate most weekdays to pet care and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and reliable care while their owners are away. At this time, I’m generally unavailable on weekends due to family obligations, but during the week I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make it my priority to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, attention, and plenty of love and companionship. For dog walks, I make sure each dog gets safe, attentive exercise based on their energy level and needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

My dog Sadie, loved Andrew from the minute she met him, and she's not one to fall in love so easily. Andrew did drop ins for me and i couldn't of been happier with how well he treated Sadie. She even conned him into taking her for walks. I will definately be booking Andrew again in the future. Its such a relief to find someone you can trust.

About: I grew up with two big Akita/husky’s that were always full of energy but very entertaining! I now have a Pitbul mix that loves to cuddles. People have relied on me to walk, bathe, and watch their pets. I have a steady schedule as a Dental Assistant through out the week. I am available for morning walks with a lot of free afternoons and evenings. I would love to help you out and make sure your fur baby is taken care of while you’re away. As a pet sitter, my main responsibility is to provide quality care for pets in their own homes while their owners are away. Discussing with the owner about their pets needs, habits, and specific requirements.

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lincoln on Rover is $17.21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 88 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
