“I don’t even have words to explain how honored we were to find these two to watch Teddy for a few days! Teddy is a 7 mo goldendoodle, that’s super energetic. They gave him so much love and exercise he is exhausted at our home. They definitely know what they are doing. We will be using them again for sure! 🤗”
“Shawn and Melissa took great care of my dogs. From the pictures I could tell that the dogs seemed extremely happy and comfortable around them. They are the best! Extremely happy with the service.”
“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using again!”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town
“Lori was great! I was a little nervous as I had never boarded or left Andre with a stranger but she kept me updated daily. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to any and all messages and questions. I would highly recommend! Thanks Lori!”
“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!”
“Marie was so great and sweet with Kenzo! She sent us updates of our boy with pictures and videos and we really appreciated that. Kenzo is not really affectionate, so it was a great to see the connection that our boy had with Marie. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Jania and family were the blessing we didn’t know we needed! After leaving for vacation and realizing our original plan to leave our dog at our house and have friends pop in and out throughout the week, was not going to work for our anxious, clingy dog. We were desperate and stressed, not only did Jania respond within 5 mins to my email, but she agreed to take our dog that same day. Her communication instantly put me at ease and the photos sent twice a day were the icing on top. I was able to completely put aside any concerns and enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was happy, loved, and well taken care of! I cannot say enough good things!!”
“Ashley and Kyle were amazing with Layla! It was my first time leaving her with a pet sitter, and they completely exceeded my expectations. They kept me updated with a lot of photos and messages throughout her stay, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell Layla was well cared for and happy the entire time. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“I’m always nervous about leaving my dog but I quickly felt comfortable and Danae sent photos every day of my little guy enjoying himself. It went well and I’m a return customer, which speaks volumes.”
“Meaghan was great with our two dogs Stella and Brickle! Brickle has bad separation anxiety and has destructive behaviors if left alone so finding a dog sitter for him has been such a big challenge and Meaghan agreed without hesitation! She took both dogs on several walks a day, sent photos and updates, and cared for them like family! Definitely recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and honest pet sitter!”
“Derek was AMAZING. Literally couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our dogs. He was so attentive and thoughtful. He had thorough communication. We received daily updates and photos. Gus and Daisy already miss their new best friend Derek. We will definitely be seeing him again really soon! 10/10”

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!!
Miss Lisa is just the most amazing person. She took care of my little guy Rio for 5 days and I couldn’t have been happier and more at peace knowing my little guy was safe AND happy with her. She truly is such a gem and I’m so glad I found her. Thank you so so much for loving my little pup Rio and making sure I had nothing to worry about while he was in your care. 10 stars!
Infinity gave truly amazing service while taking care of my dog! She sent photos and videos of Jasmine on a daily basis. She showed patience in dealing with a hyper 16 month old German Shepherd. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to her for the loving care she gave my best friend!!!
michelle and family were very friendly to me and stellah at time of drop off .... made me feel comfortable leaving stellah in their care right from the start .... michelle kept in contact with me with texting and pics throughout stellah's stay to put me in even more of a comfort zone .... stellah really enjoyed michelles giant back yard (i understand stellah did some serious roaming and play activity with the other dogs) .... michelle and her kids showed some serious love to stellah (i could tell as stellah was not as excited to leave with me at pick up as she has been with other sitters) .... it was heart warming when i picked up stellah to see her sitting and offering her attention to michelles boy .... michelles boy said "stellah is my favorite dog" .... michelle will be my go to in the future when we leave town for the family love and apparent exercize stellah received .... i might even drop off stellah once in awhile for the activity & love stellah received even if we are in town .... i highly recommend michelle and family to sit your dog ....
Anni provided exceptional communication prior to and during the entire time she boarded my dog. She has a great set-up for a dog enjoys outside time and she was prompt in being ready for my drop-off and pick-up times. Given I was traveling from out of town for a football game in Lincoln, she allowed me to now worry whatsoever about the care of my dog in a city that is not my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincoln on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 162 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 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.
100% of Lincoln sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lincoln 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 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.
