“My first time leaving Chuy, and I really appreciated David listening to his backstory (he has some attachment issues as a result) & giving him the patience to settle in & warm up to him. I was so happy to find out that he did! I love that they have their own dog, Chuy loves dog friends & that helped. Friendly, lovely home, communicative, will book again when I need”
“Shawn and Melissa are always our go-to sitters for our labradoodle. They are responsive to our questions and we love getting pictures and updates from them.”
“I think I just found my new life long boarder for my dog Finn! Stacy was so kind to both me and my dog, and she took the time to introduce us to her space and other boarders. I can tell that she takes fantastic care of all of her boarders, and I trust that she will continue to care for and love each one as her own. I don’t think you can find a better sitter in Lincoln. Thank you, Stacy!”
“I had a great experience with Jenny. My dog, Ollie, stayed with her and her family for a week and was well taken care of. I felt comfortable with having him stay with Jenny!”
“Kobe enjoyed his time with Jamie and her family! He got a nice sized glider and a backyard to run around in. A family of 4 to love and care for him the whole time! They took him on plenty of walks. Jamie sent me photos and videos throughout the day showing how much fun kobe was having. I would use Jamie again and highly recommend!”
“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 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!!!”
“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: We love all animals and treat them as family. There is care for the animal in the home 24/7. Patient with all types of animals. Work flexibility. I am working full time but my partner works from home. Pets will have company 24/7 with bathroom breaks as needed. If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always an option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and taking care of animals with bathroom issues.
“Derek was amazing with watching our very energetic puppy! She went on several long walks to get her energy out. We got daily photos and updates. It's nice leaving our dog to someone who is so knowledgeable and not worry about her while we were on our trip.”
“Our dog was very happy when we picked him up from Thomas! I appreciated that he was willing to do a meet and greet and he shared exercises that he does with dogs to help any nervousness. Our dog is very content and was well cared for today.”
“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.”
“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: 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.
“Danae was amazing! I was totally comfortable leaving Maggie with Danae. I appreciated all of the updates that Danae provided and the pictures that she sent. Maggie takes a while warming up to new people and Danae was so patient and understanding. Will definitely book with Danae again when we need her.”
“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!”
“Sidney & Shelby are amazing!! They loved on our dog and treated her like royalty! River loved being there and felt like she was at home! We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you ladies!! You two are incredible!!!!❤️❤️🐶”

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.
Infinity is absolutely amazing and took good care of Bruno, our energetic 5.6 year-old golden retriever, during his two-night stay. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates and could tell he had a lot of fun. We will definitely book with Infinity again for Bruno’s future stays.
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.

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.
