“Danielle did a great job caring for our 5 cats while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures of all the cats when she'd visit them and show us the litter boxes were scooped. The house was clean and the cats were happy when we came home.”
“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.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have had dogs of my own, along with 10+ years of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and love getting them outside for a good walk, giving them some playtime and attention, or simply keeping them company during a drop-in visit. I’m reliable, active, and will treat your pup like my own! I have lots of availability over the next month before I start work, so I’m able to be pretty flexible with walks and drop-in visits! I’d love to fill my extra time with some furry friends and can work around your pup’s usual schedule and routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, make sure they’re secure when coming and going, and give them lots of attention, playtime, and love.
About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years in NY and interned at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years while studying in college. I’m currently working night shift (6pm-6am) on a rotating schedule. Because I work 12hr shifts I have extra days off to check in on your animal while you are away. I am attentive to your dog’s needs and encourage direction or feedback of how to care for your dog. Whether I’m needed for a long walk or to house sit while you’re away, I’ll make sure your dog feels in good hands. I’m also more than happy to send updated pictures of your dog so you don’t miss them too much.
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
“Claudia has been great w our new puppy (10 weeks old) sending photos!!! She lets herself in and out of the house no problem ... excited to keep using her as an on going dog walker !!!”
“Ying took such wonderful care of my two babies while I was away for over a month. She was very reliable, attentive, and kind, and I always felt reassured knowing they were in good hands. It meant so much to me to know they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I’m truly grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.
“Eric was amazing! This was our first Rover experience and it was fantastic. Such a contentious caregiver for our Maizy. We appreciated Erik’s flexibility , the meet and greet, and all of the updates and pictures that he sent while we were away. Outstanding!”
“Tanya has done drop in visits/walks for my puppy Numerous times and is super reliable and professional. Her updates are great and make me feel at ease when I am out of the house all day. Would recommend to anyone seeking a dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
About: My husband and I adopted our dog Mac when he was 8 months. We trained him how to be less reactive, not to bite, sit, potty training and how to come on command. Additionally, I dog sit for my friend that has a golden retriever and my sister-in-law that has a pit-mix. I’ve always loved dogs but having one of my own really opened my eyes to how amazing dogs are! I work Monday-Friday at Boston Children’s Hospital, but I am available after 6:30 PM most weekdays. I have full availability on the weekends day and night. I’m happy to help with walks and drop-ins. I truly believe that pets are an integral part to a family! My dog is the center of my world and I always try to include him on my plans whenever possible. I like to take Mac out for hikes, the beach and any dog friendly patio! We live in an updated apartment in Waltham with a fenced in yard. When I walk Mac, I wear a leash that wraps around my waist and connects to him for extra protection. I try to walk on paths that have less vehicle traffic. I would treat your dog with the same level of attention as I do my own!
About: Had a Bernese Mountain Dog for over 6 years that I would care for after school. I have been dog sitting regularly throughout college, from things like overnight care, dog walking, or watching for a couple of hours. I am currently a Senior at Bentley University living off campus in a house. I am taking 6 classes but my schedule is very flexible since the school is only 5 minutes away from my house. I live in a neighborhood with a huge park next to my house where dogs can go for a walk! We know all of our neighbors. My house is very dog safe and pay very close attention to detail when watching them. I very hardly ever leave the dogs alone unless it is a complete emergency.
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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.
