“Melissa did amazing taking care of our dog! We always received updates and pictures throughout his stay which made us very happy! We know our dog really enjoyed his stay and will absolutely be contacting Melissa again in the future!”
“Julie was great with our Sheepadoodle! We met beforehand, she and her family provided lots of great updates, photos, and videos while our dog enjoyed a loving space while we were out of town! Thanks so much, Julie!!”
“Amanda did an amazing job carrying for our boy! He came home so tired from all the playing and she kept me well updated even said her kids didn’t want him to come home. Will definitely use again maybe even just for a day for him to visit and let some energy out!”
About: Six years of life with a large dog will teach you things no certification can. I know what it means to be fully committed to an animal — the routines, the quirks, the way a big dog takes over your couch, your schedule, and your heart. That hands-on experience is what I bring to every sit. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it’s built into it. I work from home full-time, which means no long stretches alone for your dog and flexible walk times that adapt to their needs rather than a rigid schedule. We also have a fully fenced yard with open-door access throughout the day, so dogs can move in and out freely and get fresh air and exercise whenever they want — no waiting, no scheduling. Your dog stays in a real home environment — not a crate, not a kennel. With a fenced yard, open outdoor access throughout the day, and someone home full-time, they’ll have space to roam, play, and relax on their own schedule. I follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely and send regular updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.
“Great experience, Jakob and Allison are the best. They treated nav like one of their own. Sent the greatest pictures every day and took excellent care of our dog. We will definitely book with them again.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I currently have a chiweenie named Mya and often watch my parents special needs bichon who has Addison’s. I work straight weekends as a RN. Availability is M-T with the exception of some weekends upon request or if needing to extend time. Our home has a fenced in yard and minimal stairs. Can accommodate to dogs who need crating as well! Dogs must be good around kids and get along with our dog as well.
“McKenna was excellent and exceeded expectations! She took the time to learn my dogs commands and schedules! She also keeps you updated with photos! My boys enjoyed their stay with her and her dog Harper!”
“Made Snickers right at home. I was out of town and dealing with a family estate and Krystal was incredibly patient and willing to work with me and all other people who assisted with pick up and drop offs. Fantastic!”
About: I will love and care for your pets like my own! I've owned and care for friends and families' dogs since childhood managing daily feeding, exercise, and lots of cuddles. I'm currently on summer break (I'm a Kindergarten teacher) which allows my schedule to be wide open! I am flexible with your dog's daily/weekly routine. I am home all day with my 2 dogs. We wake up around 5:30-6:00am for a bathroom break. They are given breakfast shortly after. Around 7:30 we drive to the nearby dog park for some outside time (20-30 minutes depending on the weather). After the park, we'd drive back home and walk around the block. There will be numerous bathroom breaks in our fenced in yard! Your dogs will be treated as if they're my own! We have a fenced in yard, central air to cool down the dogs, a kennel, a metal foldable pen, lots of dog beds and treats.
“We highly recommend Christy as a dog sitter! She sent us regular photos and updates, took our dog on daily walks, and was more than happy to give her the medications she needed. She made the entire experience easy and stress-free for us. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again!”
About: My name is Angela I have 3 dogs and one cat . I live in the country so my dogs have enough space to run and have fun. They make my day happier. I work part time Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm . I go home for lunch time and my schedule at work is very flexible. I have a backyard but it is fenced, it is safe for my pets but I am always watching them. my dogs are very friendly and they love to play
“Liz was absolutely amazing she treated my dog Sven like he was one of her own! She also kept me updated on how Sven was doing our whole trip! Liz was also very responsive and wonderful to communicate with!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs—ages 5 and 1—and an 8-year-old cat who runs the house. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, loved, and at home while their people are away. Whether it’s playtime with an energetic pup or keeping a senior pet comfortable, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday but can come home during my lunch break if needed. I’m home most weeknights and weekends, so your pet will still get plenty of attention and care outside of work hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. I share my home with two friendly dogs and a cat, so your pet is welcome to socialize or have their own quiet space if preferred. I also have kennels and pet gates available to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable when separation is needed. We have a toddler in the home, and I am intentional about maintaining a calm, well supervised environment to ensure all interactions are safe and positive.
“Adria was so incredibly nice to work with. She made me feel extremely at ease with leaving Koda with her. She sent pictures of Koda during her weekend stay and let me know how Koda was doing. Drop off and pick up were very easy as we had a “ get acquainted” meeting days before the time she would dog sit for me. I was impressed with Rover and Adria. Adria was also very helpful in helping me figure out the Rover process because it was my first time using the app. I would definitely recommend her for watching your fur baby.”

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincoln home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lincoln.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lincoln sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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 ND 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
