Our dogs were lovingly cared for while we were on vacation. Shawn and Melissa kept us updated with pictures of Bella and Luna throughout the week. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing that our dogs were staying in a loving home! Thank you, Shawn, Melissa, and family, for taking such wonderful care of our girls!

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! 🤗

They were so amazing and we felt great about our dog bud while we were getting married on vacation. We got a picture(s) or video every day and an update. They were super good at communication and I think bud was able to learn social skills while there! He came back exhausted and slept the whole day. Def would book again when we take a vacation sometime. Def worth the 30 min drive from our house!

Jamie took amazing care of our dog! She sent several pictures each day (which we loved) and it was obvious Hunter was absolutely spoiled while at Jamie’s house. My husband and I joked our dog wouldn’t want to come home. He was so worn out, he immediately went to his dog bed and didn’t move for the first couple hours after picking him up.

Amy has watched our dog several times and we have been very happy with her communication and daily pictures while we are away. She provides a comfortable environment where our dog feels at home and is given a lot of personal attention which he loves. Amy is very professional and is very knowledgeable about pets and their needs and behaviors.

Andrea and Edwin are absolutely awesome! This was our first time leaving our 2 pups and we weren’t sure how it would go - we didn’t need to worry at all, they took excellent care of our boys! They kept us updated and sent many pictures which put our minds at ease that they were just fine without us, lol. We would give more stars if we could - we’re so happy we found them and will definitely leave our boys with them 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.

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

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!

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!

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lincoln

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincoln on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 155 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.
