“Highly reliable. Was great with my dogs, you can tell she loves animals. She gave great communication and feedback of how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Marikita was an excellent caretaker for my two cats. They looked happy in all the photos sent during my time away, and looked great when I returned home. I would definitely recommend Marikita, and would ask for her again on future trips.”
“For a casual, last minute drop in to look in on Cassie on Mothers Day, Trish was extremely helpful and accomodating. She walked Cassie during her visit, kept notes, and sent a photo. Cassie seemed well pleased.”
“Shannon is a gem! Great communication, very personable, and most importantly - my puppy loves her! We are a new puppy family, and she was very patient in answering all my questions, and flexible in arranging a meet and greet and pup care on short notice. We will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Before returning to college, I attended PIMA Medical Institute in Denver and worked as a veterinary technician in both Colorado and Nebraska. I worked alongside multiple veterinarians at Banfield Pet Hospital throughout the Denver metro area and later at a rural veterinary practice and boarding facility in Mitchell, Nebraska. My veterinary experience gave me the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral, topical, eye, ear, and injectable medications (including insulin when prescribed), caring for senior pets, and following detailed care instructions for pets with medical needs. One of my favorite parts of working in the boarding facility was helping nervous pets feel comfortable. Being away from home can be stressful, and I loved taking the time to earn their trust—whether that meant sitting quietly with them, giving them extra affection, or even making up a silly little jingle while we spent time together. Watching a scared pet relax and begin to feel safe was one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Today, I'm a nontraditional college student and work part-time on campus, which allows me to offer dependable afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I provide regular updates, photos, and complimentary meet-and-greets so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands. Every pet deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved—even when their favorite people are away. I work part-time on my college campus during weekday mornings, so I'm generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. In the right circumstances I can squeeze in some morning visits. I enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners, and I strive to provide dependable, consistent care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, medication, or a little extra company while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary technician, I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I treat every home with respect and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. You'll receive regular updates and photos, and I'll always communicate if I have any questions or concerns. I believe trust is earned through reliability, compassion, and treating every pet as the unique individual they are.
“Eileen did drop in visits for us while our pup was 2-3 months old 1-2x a day for a month or so. She was patient, caring, and flexible with last minute schedule changes. Our pup loved having her over and enjoyed spending time with her. I would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!! She’s amazing!”
“Highly recommend Megan! She was kind and patient with my shy cats, took time to meet me beforehand, and made me feel completely comfortable. I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Wonderful!!! Very understanding and patient with my schedule changes. My dogs loved her. She gave them treats and sent great picture updates of them. Would highly recommend and we will be using her services again in the future.”
“Kynnedy completed some drop in visits while I was out of town. She completed the care and feeding for my dogs. She played with them and gave them attentions. She took lots of photos.”
About: I'm Ryleigh! Born and raised to love animals, an animal lover at heart! I have a cat of my own. Grew up with animals and volunteered at a shelter for several years. I've been told I'm an excellent worker. I live by a trail and enjoy being active, my work schedule is 6am to 2pm, I've had both dogs and cats, rabbits, gerbils and a few squirrels. I'm looking for a little extra money and working with animals has always been a passion, and nothing's better than doing what you love! I work full time 6am to 2pm, but have the whole afternoon/evening to tend to animal care, walks, and plenty of affection for your pup. I live in a decently sized apartment and I do have a trail right next to me for walks, along with several parks close by.
“Kylie did a wonderful job taking care of my boys. She was always on time for visits and she played with them and kept me updated with pictures and frequent messages. I highly recommend her and will be using her for all future needs.”
“Abigail always does so great with Pawley! He is shy at first with people he doesn’t see all the time, and she always makes sure to take the time to make him comfortable. We love being able to rely on her.”
About: I'm always more than willing to take care of friends and families dogs. I've raised and trained my own husky and have helped roommates over the years raise there's. Dogs are special to me so I treat them as so. I work from 6am-2pm during the week and don’t work on the weekends. My schedule is flexible everyday after 2pm except Wednesday because of a weekly meeting. I follow instructions step by step by the owners request and will watch out for your loved one on walks with my life. Probably talk to them, get to know them a little bit.
“Our dog is so happy that we found Deanna. He is hoping she’ll play fetch again with him again before long. Great job and highly recommend. Deanna even brought treats for us and our dog. So sweet!”

Ashley & Kyle always do a fantastic job! Frankie absolutely loves them! They always give great updates, and I can tell they really care about my pup & making sure everything goes well. Always appreciate them helping with Frankie! I always trust he is in good hands with Ashley & Kyle!
Alyssa has stopped in for the last 2 weeks on the days I work in office. She provides us with a great recap of her visit and activities with our puppies! We are so happy we have found her and our pups seem to really enjoy her!! We will keep our weekly bookings up, as it is so helpful to us all!
We used Taylor again while we were away for the weekend, and she was wonderful as always! She does such a great job with our pets, and we really appreciate all the photos and updates while we’re away. She’s definitely our go-to sitter! Thank you, Taylor, for taking such great care of them! ❤️
Aly did such a wonderful job taking care of our two senior dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond with them, even taking time to brush the loose hair off my 130 lb malamute! This was our first time using Rover and Aly gave us such a great first experience that we may never board them again! Highly recommend her!
Andrea and Edwin took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. I always felt at ease that he was receiving wonderful and attentive care even though our dog is older and takes several medications. I really appreciated their communication while we were gone.
This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lincoln stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lincoln choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lincoln with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
