“Annette is amazing! She quickly developed a relationship with the dogs and did an incredible job walking them and caring for them. Highly recommend her and looking forward to their next walk.”
“Great with communication! Lucy agreed to my last minute booking and was kind enough to make a meet and greet happen given tight schedules. My plans fell through last minute so I no longer needed her service, but I would absolutely try again!”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Loui has made this an enjoyable experience! I don’t have the easiest dog, and Loui has been very patient and caring with him. I feel very comfortable knowing that my boy is in good hands while I’m out. I love the little updates and photos I get while at work! 5 star photography skills too😂”
“Michelle took such great care of my dog Mac! We needed a dog walker for the week and Michelle arrived on time, sent pictures and gave me a recap on how each walk went. I highly recommend booking with her!”

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
“Jon is responsive, reliable, kind, and professional. He is great about letting us know when he’s on his way, his ETA, and then gives us a heads up before he knocks on the door. My dog is extremely anxious, and this has been challenging; Jon has been so accommodating, open to trying anything to get her to trust him, and clearly cares about her.”
About: Hi there, my name is Gloria! I have my Bachelors of Sciences degree in Animal sciences, with an emphasis in companion animals from Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!). I have dog and house sat for over 10+ years all though out college and post grad with breeds ranging from chihuahuas to great danes and pit bulls! My goal is to provide your pet(s) an enjoyable experience at the comfort of your home that allows you to feel confident and at peace while you're away. Depart stress free on that dreaded business trip, or better yet, take that time off for you and your family and to go on that amazing vacation that you've been dreaming of all these years! I honor owners wishes in terms of methods of discipline and reward as I am a firm believer of consistency in training when keeping expectations. Feeding dogs human food and smoking in the house (or in general), are personal deal breakers for me, as they go against my morals and values. Bottom line: I would honestly LOVE your dog/cat(s) for free if I could, but saving up to apply to PA school isn't going to happen overnight! I am HONORED for the opportunity to take care of your best friend(s) as I would my own, and I can't wait to meet one if the most important member of your family! I am currently studying for the GRE and am planning to apply to PA school, thus I have all the availability to do drop in, walks, and sittings while I prepare for the exam and apply within the year. Safety and privacy is an upmost importance to me, especially when it comes to coming into your home and loving on your furry loved ones! This is a core value that I will uphold when providing my services in your home.

About: I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with a special love for cats and small dogs! I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident that their furry companions are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and companionship. I prioritize clear communication and providing updates so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. I especially welcome friendly, small dogs and cats who enjoy gentle, attentive care! My schedule is currently flexible, which gives me availability for drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to arrange times that fit their pet’s routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Francois was wonderful! He arrived at our house punctually, and our Bernese Mountain Dog followed him out for his walk with a strut in his step. He was just as happy when he returned home and sat at Francois' feet while we chatted. It's clear that Francois is a dog person, and our dog senses that. We will definitely reach out to him again when the need arises!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lincoln is $31 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lincoln. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lincoln after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
