“Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all personalities, providing dependable and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and in-home pet sitting, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part time as a dog walker Monday-Thursday 9-2. I have availability after 2 or before 9 and I have availability Friday-Sunday all day. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home depending on the service needed. I have 2 dogs of my own so I don’t have the room to board in my own home.

About: Cats and dogs have always been the fur babies of my family. I have a bunch of dog cousins and I've raised and cared for several cats in my life through all stages of life. I work 8 hr shifts (6:30 am-3pm or 1pm-9pm). Outside of work, typically would run errands, but if i could, i would be able to walk or pet sit. I have worked full time and pet sit in the past. It would be great to pet sit because I love pets, but don't have them here in the city. Because I don't have pets here, however I would be able to pet sit either at my place or the clients place. I have a safe one bedroom apartment so I would always be near the fur baby if I am hosting. There are no other pet that could potentially cause discomfort for the client pet. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but i can also be patient and wait for them to come to me. I also have skills to administer topical and oral medicine if necessary.

About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.

“Hannah took such great care of our cat, Luna, while we were away. She sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about Luna and knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable and happy. She played with her, gave her lots of attention, and kept everything clean, including doing an excellent job with the litter box. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: I grew up with dogs and animals around me so would love to continue being around them. Life is boring without them, in our world. I work full time and go to school during the week would love to help people out during the weekend and maybe even weekdays if there is that relationship. I currently am not offering pet sitting at my house because my Roomate is allergic but I can come to the dogs home and care for them.

About: Hi! I’ve been living and taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have always loved, connecting with dogs and cats. For at least the past decade, I have walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ animals, so I’m well versed in the responsibilities of caring for furry friends! I also took care of my elderly dog for many years before she passed at 16, so I know how to help make older dogs feel comfortable. I truly believe all animals deserve loving attention, and I can’t wait to help care for yours. :) I am a student and work part time in Somerville. My availability is very flexible, and I can also easily adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I spend lots of time outside, so I am eager to walk dogs/play outside with them, and take care of your pets! I have a fenced in patio/backyard. I live on the upper unit of my house, but there is A/C to cool off the animals on a hot day.

About: I've cared for and trained dogs and cats since age 6. I'm comfortable working with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats, and I absolutely love large breeds. I'm currently self-employed, so I have a very flexible schedule. I'll work in my work around your and your dog's schedule. Some weekends, I'm taking my kids to a tennis tournament, so I may not be available, or might need to reschedule. I have a large, furnished basement for your dog to run around in and explore, and there's a large soccer field across the street. If I'm visiting your home, I will work with your layout to insure your dog gets enough activity and has some fun!

“Absolute pleasure working with Emma, she went above and beyond when we got stuck away from home because of the blizzard. Thank you for braving the snow and the wind to keep them happy and fed! We finally made it home to find happy and well taken care of cats. Thank you so much and we look forward to trusting our cats with you in the future, I'm sure they will be excited to see you again :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Rescues, pure breads, energetic & rambunctious, low key, nervous, happy, big and small, healthy, sick, I've been around them all! I work from home 90% of the time. There are occasions when I meet with clients in person or I need to spend a little time at my office, but the majority of the time I am working from the house. I take Remy and Holly to the park/on a hike twice a day unless it’s too hot. Remy grew up surrounded by new dogs everyday for the first 3 years of his life and over time he's met pretty much every kind of dog with every kind of personality so at this point he's a pro with being around new pups! Holly basically loves everyone!! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that enjoys the company of all types of dogs. He lived with his Mum until October and she is a dog trainer who also boards and so he is completely use to new dogs of all breeds and sizes coming in daily!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lincoln

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lincoln is $42 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 10,547 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lincoln with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
