“It was my first time being without my puppy Ella and they took such good care of her! Lots of pictures and updates which I loved. They are a sweet sweet family with a nice yard and gave her lots of attention! I would recommend them to anyone!”
“David and Shelly took wonderful care of Chester while we were out of town. This was our first time using rover and we are so happy we found them. They sent us pictures every day while we were gone which let us know Chester, our pup, was happy! They were also happy to do a meet and greet before we left which helped me and the dog too, feel more comfortable dropping off on vacation day. I would absolutely have Chester stay with them again!”
“Jenny and her family are so good to Harper. I do not worry about her while we're out of town. I also appreciate how flexible Jenny has been with our schedule. We'd highly recommend her.”
“Leaving our dogs with Jamie's family is like leaving them with family and we are so thankful for that! We never have to worry about them being taken care of while we are traveling. We know our girls are safe and well loved!”
“We were not disappointed. Bethany and her family gave our husky great care while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. My 4 year old loved seeing the pictures of what Koda was doing that day. Would book again!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“They took great care of Mr. Wiggins, he was comfy and happy at his sleepover! Ashley & Kyle were flexible and easy to work with, and excellent communicators. Thank you!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
“Derek was very thoughtful and had great communication! He was very flexible and accommodating when our flight was delayed and we had to pick up later than anticipated. Our pups were well cared for.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
“We had a last minute out of town trip pop up and Colleen & Mozart were easily to quickly coordinate with. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”
“Jania and her family treated my pup like an absolute princess while she was in their care! I could not have asked for anyone better to watch my pup on such short notice while I was out of town! 10/10 recommend her! She sent me so many cute pics of my pup while she was in her care! I wasn’t sure my dog would want to come back home after!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.
“Kara took such great care of my dog! She provided regular updates and sent photos. I look forward to bringing Mabel back in the future. It's such a relief finding a good sitter!”
About: Tim and I are dog and cat lovers. We have had one pet or another all of our lives. We currently have a Chocolate Lab. I take my dog on frequent walks and play with him constantly. We would be available to care for your precious pet on Friday after 5:00 pm and Saturday nights into Sunday evening only at this time. We can do drop offs starting at 5:30 pm on Friday Night and can watch your pet through Sunday evening until 9:00 PM. If necessary we can arrange early morning pick up on Monday morning. I can take your pet on one or more daily walks during their stay. If your pet needs additional exercise I have a large fenced yard for them to run and play. As far as skills, I am able to administer oral medications to your pet if needed. Your precious pet would receive all kinds of love and attention. I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a very energetic dog who will keep your fur baby company. I also have a walking trail near by where we can go for walks.
About: Hello friends! I am currently working part-time delivering babies at Bryan East, and looking for some extra part-time income doing something I love-hanging out with your fur babies. I personally had many dogs growing up, and my sweet Rikki girl passed away last year. So, I’m looking to help some other folks take care of their pups. I am an outdoor enthusiast- I love to hike, backpack on tough trails, bike, run races, swim, etc. I’m interested in boarding at our home, or pop-in visits. It would be no problem for me to walk your animals or take them to potty outside in any weather condition. My schedule at work is 12-hour shifts, and changes from week to week. So, I'm pretty flexible if you need me. Just contact me and we can definitely work something out. Looking forward to cuddling and loving your animals!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lincoln is $39

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!!
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!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 166 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.
