“Rebecca and her family took great care of our Leo & Princess. We loved the pictures she sent and the updates she gave us. Truly felt like our fur babies were with people who love them as much as we do.”
“Katrina and Kevin took such great care of our dog. She was spoiled with walks, car rides, trips to the park and even a pup cup from Starbucks! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Michael, Lindsey and family were wonderful! We were hesitant to leave our less than 5 month old rescue with anyone but had this trip booked long before he landed with us. They sent so many pictures and it was obvious our little Fig was so loved in our absence. We will definitely use this family again! It made traveling much less stressful for us. Thank you!”

About: Finding pet care can be an anxiety inducing experience. My job is to provide pet parents with total comfort and peace of mind knowing that their fur babies are being well taken care of while they are away. Hey there! My name is Kayla and I am a 30 year old childless cat (and dog) lady. I have spent my entire life around animals and wouldn't have it any other way. We always had dogs while growing up, which eventually grew into also having cats, mice, lizards, etc. I turned this personal love of animals into a profession by spending many years working in pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet shelters, and by pet sitting on the side. I have been around so many different kinds of pet personalities and temperaments and strive to approach each animal appropriately to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have also had much experience with special needs and senior pets. A big part of my job is it keep owners updated on any concerns I have or to ask important questions, so you never miss a beat of what is going on with your furry companion while you are gone. I pride myself in having a ton of heart and genuine care for any animal I come into contact with, and promise to treat your fur baby as my own - belly rubs and treats included! I currently work full time, 9-5 M-F. I will have plenty of time in the late afternoon/evening to care for your pets, as well as open availability Saturday and Sunday I will care for your fur baby just like he or she is my own! I'm good at following instructions of care and sticking to the routine they are used to. Plenty of belly rubs and walks included!
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. We always had a dog while o was growing up and as an adult I have always owned a dog (or two). I feel a house it’s a home without a dog! I currently own a Goldendoodle. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administration of medication, playtime, and of course snuggles. I work until 5:30 p.m. most days of the week but, I am available evenings, and weekends to care for your pet whatever the need may be. In my full-time career as a registered nurse, attention to detail, reliability, and compassion are part of who I am. I naturally pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or other signs that something may not be right, and I communicate promptly with pet owners. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping their normal routine while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and understand how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family.
About: I own a couple dogs and manage my schedule well while in college and being a dog mom. I value exercise, health and happiness of all pets. I am available on most weekdays in the afternoon. I have a part time job during the weekdays as well and will always update my availability as needed. I have a puppy who is high energy and loves to play. Our daily routine includes 2 meals a day, lots of walks, play time and nap time. My apartment complex has a greenspace where dogs are able to run around freely.
“Amazing! Gretchen took such great care of Copper and he looked so happy and healthy when we got back. Gretchen sent pictures and updates everyday. Her house and yard are perfect for boarding dogs; Copper came home and slept almost the entire next day from playing all week with Gretchen and Bella. We will definitely be going to Gretchen for our future boarding needs and would recommend her to anybody!”
“Greta was so great! Our Harley is like a daughter/sister to us, so it was important we find someone to watch her who would care for her as much as we do ourselves. She communicated, sent pictures, and was so accommodating to our unplanned schedule change. WE will definitely book with her again!”
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”
About: We’re excited to watch your sweet pups! We promise to take pics, give them lots of love, and take care of them as if they were our own. I’ll stop home for lunch to take care of your dog! We’ll give them a walk in the morning and at lunch and time to relax in the evening. No fenced yard so we’ll keep your dog on a leash and take them for walks around the neighborhood. They are free to snuggle up anywhere they like.
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching my dog, Asher, while I was on vacation. She provided daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Abigail was reliable and also showed genuine care and affection for Asher. It was evident that Asher enjoyed his time with her, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Abigail for anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated person to care for their pet!”

Once again Miss Lisa did an amazing job with my little guy. We booked her services for a week and Rio absolutely loved hanging out with her. She has a wonderful back yard and he had a fantastic time. Definitely will re-book again with Miss Lisa when we travel or need some time out of town. Thank you so much!!
This is our second time using Whitney, and she is absolutely the best! Our boys stayed with her for 9 nights, and they seem to enjoy their stay with her! They get so excited to see her and are always so happy and comfortable in her home.❤️ Whitney is very responsive and always sends us photos and updates, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We know our boys are in great hands with her. We will definitely continue to use Whitney as our pet sitter! 🐾❤️
Lindsey is fantastic! Our dog is old, and it takes him time to get used to new people, but Lindsay was amazing at making sure they got along right away. She took care of our day with great attention and kept posting updates throughout. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Ashley is our go-to sitter for our Golden - she treats our dog as if she’s her own! They go for walks, play outside, and my dog is always so excited to go back. Ashley is responsive to messages and sends lots of fun photos of our dogs playing together. We always know she’s going to have a great time when we leave her with Ashley’s family and her friendly Goldens. 10/10 would recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lincoln is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $49 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 of October 2026, there are 163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Lincoln can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincoln home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 NE 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.
