“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Another great stretch of daycare days with Likun and EL! He races to her house every morning which tells me he loves going! I can go to work knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you again!”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life, and had one of my own up until recently. I live with my parents and teenage sister and having dogs in our lives has brought us so much joy! We will treat and care for your dog like they are part of our family. I am very reliable and responsible and have transportation to pick-up/drop-off your dog if needed. I would love to care for your pet! I work entirely from home and have a flexible schedule, so I am available all days of the week. I have time to take your pup on multiple walks throughout the day and to play! I have a huge yard for lots of playing and running around as well as a recreational path very close by. I love swimming, hiking, and going on longer walks. My house is spacious and has lots of toys.
“Yi W. Was very responsive and took great care of Duke. She was also very open to my guidance about Duke’s needs and routine. She sent regular updates and photos. I recommend her and will take Duke back to her.”
“We had a last-minute emergency when our original sitter had to cancel, and Sean truly came to the rescue. We reached out on Thursday, and he kindly agreed to take Gianni for Saturday. He got us out of a real bind, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks to him we didn't have to cancel our trip. Sean took incredible care of Gianni. He went on hikes, played all day with Sean’s dogs in the yard, and came home tired and happy. Sean was so kind, communicative, and very accommodating. Honestly, we wish he lived closer so he could be our regular sitter. The only downside is that I think my dog was a little disappointed to come back home! lol We highly recommend Sean 10/10. I cannot explain how much we appreciate him for taking such great care of Gianni.”
“We had a great experience with Emma! Our dogs are fussy. One is older and easily tired, the other is super energetic and nervous. They both were very calm and happy the whole time with her. She sent lots of pictures, which was great, and I felt she took very good care of them. She was also very quick to communicate and confirm plans.”
“My pup had the best time ever in the yard, chilling in the house, and befriending Betsy’s sweet dog. I even got a photo during the day. :-) Looking forward to her next stay!”
“Yulia and her family are caring and considerate. Sheila, their 8 year old corgie was very cute and friendly too! Peppercorn loved staying with her and playing with her elementary school aged children.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10. They bring me so much joy. I have owned many dogs for over 30 years, all breeds. We have a large fenced in yard and we go on many walks throughout the day. I am home full-time. We have a golden retriever named Bear and chocolate lab named Moose who add energy, fun and lots of snuggles to our home. I owned a successful dog boarding business in our home for over ten years, with many repeat furry clients. I have cared for everything from Great Danes to Jack Russell Terriers and love them all. I am home full-time and am present with dogs and caring for their needs. Would love to meet your pup! I am flexible for drop off and pick ups. I have a large fenced in yard and the dogs can go out as often as they like. They are welcome on the furniture and i have many dog beds. I go on several long walks a day for those who enjoy getting out!
“I was a bit nervous, this is our first time trying day care for my shelter dog. Ismael has such a calming manner that put both of us at ease. I plan on calling on him again!”
“Our two pups had the best time at David and Betsy’s. We received pictures and they came home happy and tired! I would definitely use David and Betsy again!! Thank you both for the pictures , bath and fun!”
“Janette and her family, including their dog Luna, are so wonderful to our dog, Lenny. She is so kind and communicative! Lenny loves spending time with them and going for walks in their beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog!”
“I highly recommend Ling & Ye...they were fantastic! Our schedule was more dynamic than we had intended and they were very flexible. Our boy Riley, 1-year old Golden, had great time and can't wait to get back to see his new friends!”
“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”
“Wonderful family who provided care for my pup last minute. They sent me pictures throughout his stay and he appeared happy and tired from all of his play with their other dogs when I picked him up!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lincoln commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,076 sitters in Lincoln, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
