About: I have been around dogs (and other animals) my entire life, and have dedicated a lot of my life to rescuing animals. I believe tired dogs behave better! So, I'm all about the play, exercise, and mental stimulation! I have trained dogs in the past for several dogs sports including, agility, dock diving, disc and sledding, though I have never competed, I’ve just done it for fun with my dogs I work 8 hour shifts at a hardware store. I am thankfully able to visit my home on lunch break and give all pups a potty break. Dogs will be left either crated while I am away. At this time I can only accept crate trained dogs. This is for their safety as well as the safety of my own pets, as my dog and cats free roam the house while I am away. The dogs get a thorough play session before I leave for work, and another upon me returning home. Then I will typically fill a food stuffable toy(kongs or snufflemats) for my dog and yours if you send one with them (at this time I do not have spares for pet boarding clients - though I do hope to at some point!) while I retrieve my son from the school bus, give him the attention he deserves and get about to making dinner for the humans and animals in my home. I am currently only able to work with dogs that are child friendly, as I do have my seven year old son with me at most times, and his safety is paramount. I care for pets as if they are my own, this includes making sure they are pain free, eating properly, receive grooming as needed (brushing and nail trims) I believe that a tired pet is a happy pet, so we make sure to spend a lot of time playing, walking and burning off their energy. I do try to follow your pets normal schedule, and I do put dogs away in the crates for short periods of time each day. This is typically for them to eat their own meals while my son is eating, or when I have to step outside, as I do not leave any dogs (even my own dog) with my son unattended. At this time I do require proof of a rabies vaccination as well as flea prevention before I can accept your dog/s into my home. I often will take dogs for a daily walk through our wooded property, and with that there is always a chance we come across a wild animal. Rabies vaccination is important to me, to keep your pet and my family safe. I cannot accept animals into my home that have fleas as my own dog is extremely sensitive to them, so I cannot allow an infestation in my home. Dogs will be checked for fleas upon arrival, and the stay will be cancelled if there are fleas or signs of fleas (bites, flea dirt) on your animal.
“Jessica saved us while on vacation walking our dog twice, a dog that is no fun on a leash! She was timely for her visits, sent sweet, thorough messages and truly enjoyed her interactions with our dog! Thank you, Jessica!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 your 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 , 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 , 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
walkers 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 walker.
