“Anna did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She followed all of our instructions, provided a thorough report and treated our cats with love. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Anna!”
“Melissa is terrific! Our dog can be tricky sometimes and my partner and I were originally worried about leaving her with someone else while we were away. Melissa totally assuaged our concerns and multiple times we said to each other “we picked the right person!” Melissa regularly communicated updates and made sure our pup had everything she needed while we were gone. At one point, she let us know that Noodle had an upset stomach. Not only did she give us all the details we asked for and do everything we said Noodle needed, she stayed with our pup for a while to make sure she was feeling better! It was very reassuring to know someone was there caring for our dog just as we would have. I cannot recommend Melissa more! You and your pup will both love her.”
“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”
About: Experience walking, long and short-term pet sitting, and general grooming and care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes! I love spending time with animals and look forward to meeting your pets. I am a recent graduate of Smith College and will be home until the end of August!

Every animal and family is different, and I am flexible and can tailor my services to whatever works best for you and your pet.
“Francois was wonderful. Our dog, Gabe, is quite shy and nervous, especially in new situations. Gabe stayed in Francois's beautiful home for the day and came back looking happy and not even remotely stressed. Will definitely recommend Francois to anyone with anxious animals; he has such calm energy, and I believe Gabe was comfortable the whole day!”
“I would gladly recommend Brianna to other pet owners! She was on time for the scheduled drop-ins, communication was smooth and she provided plenty of photos each time she arrived.”
“Natalie was great! She was super friendly and responsive, she took lots of photos, and kept me updated :) It's hard to tell what cats are thinking, but I think they liked her too ;)”
“Danielle was wonderful with my cats. She followed my instructions to a T and made sure they were taken care of. She left everything clean and tidy and even brought in a package for me. I will definitely book with her again. :)”
“Kayla was fantastic! She worked with us on our last-minute request and took great care of our fur baby and gave us peace of mind about leaving him at home while we were traveling. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi my name is Nick! I'm a proud dog dad to my baby girl Olivia and a big heart and admiration for dogs of all kinds. I've had the experience of both having and taking care of many dogs in my life, including Pugs, Labs, Great Danes, and mix breeds. My favorite dog activities are to go on walks and play fetch in parks with them. I try to be consistent with enforcing good behavior towards them, as well as making sure they're well taken care of within their environment. My typical routine involves going walks for about 30 minutes on average, going to the dog park to get some energy out, and checking to see if they have water and food in their bowls I'm usually available in the afternoons and evenings throughout most of week, mostly on weekends. My time periods are 30 minutes to an hour with dog walking for each visit. When taking care of dogs I make sure that they are well feed, that they're well comfortable at their home especially if the temperature is too hot or cold outside, and that everything is secure and well closed off so that they wouldn't run off from home.
“Kevin is awesome! Went above and beyond to take care of my two cats. Helped me figure out what was wrong with my auto cleaning litter box. Couldn’t recommend him enough! Thanks again Kevin.”
“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”
“Annie is a great pet sitter. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned from our weekend away. She was punctual, neat and sent us photos. It was cute. Thanks Annie 🙂”

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.
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 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 dog, 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.
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.

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 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.
