About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.
“I am recovering from shoulder replacement and Ella is taking my sweet Emma for walks while I am recuperating. She is very professional and Emma is excited every time. Yes I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Ella. I really appreciate you.”
“Rachel was great with our dog Murphy! She was prompt in replying and very dependable. Murphy looked forward to his walk everyday, she even adjusted her schedule for us. We will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”
“Mallory is so good with our extra large girl. You can tell that she truly loves animals. Our dog (daughter) loves her and is always so happy to see her. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a lil help with their precious pet(s).”
“Anna has been an outstanding dog walker for Luna! She is reliable, communicative, and consistently goes above and beyond. It’s clear from the photos and updates that Luna enjoys her time with Anna and has formed a strong bond with her. We especially appreciated the thoughtful Valentine’s Day cards Anna created using pictures from their walks — such a kind and personal gesture. I feel confident knowing Luna is in Anna’s care. We are incredibly grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter/walker!”
About: Lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry best friend’s in good hands. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and love giving them a safe, happy space because they deserve the best! 💕🐕 As of right now I have walks/drop in visits regularly booking from 11am-12:30pm Mon-Fri and I usually work 6pm-10pm Fri and Saturday nights. I’m still open to house sitting visits if you’re okay with me coming and going for those visits! If i know a week ahead I can request off work for weekends, I also have my own dog Osito who loves to make new friends! If you’re okay with me bringing him along that would be amazing but if not no worries I completely understand! I always treat pets (and their homes!) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure doors are locked, routines are followed, and your furry friend stays safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.
“My dog loves Ashley and Kyle. They have been a huge help while I recovered from surgery. My dog gets so excited when they arrive to pick him up. ❤️”
“Evelyn was a lifesaver — she was able to fit in a last-minute walk for Luna with barely any notice. Communication was great, Luna came back happy, and I'd definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”
About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat several different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. My schedule is very open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.
About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

“Kynnedy was a great choice for our boy! She took pics and showed up on time. She was not hesitant to take care of our Pitskie last minute for a walk on a holiday weekend and her rate was a plus. We saw her photos and knew she would be a great pick for our breed, being a larger dog others tend to stray away but she said yes. She even offered to fill his water ❤️”
“Alexus came early to play with Milo. She was very friendly and communicative. She left so many photos and expressed that showed her amazing work with my dog. She was amazing!!”
About: Hi, my name is Rebecca. I have cared for pets of many varieties from cats and dogs to geckos and tortoises. I have experience caring for senior pets with disabilities and I am happy to administer medications or provide specialized care. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I don’t work any other job, so I am available almost anytime. Please message me if you have any questions or your pet has any specific needs I am careful to follow every pet’s routine.

About: I have been petsitting for many years, during which time I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide array of needs. My partner Lux (pictured with my grandmother’s two dogs in the arm chair) and I split our time between Lincoln and Estes Park, where we help care for my grandmother and her two dogs. I have provided exemplary pet care, earning positive reviews and repeat clients in both places. I am currently back in Lincoln visiting for over a month, during which time I have an incredibly flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! In addition to helping care for my grandmother’s dogs, I have one cat named Rumi, who I adopted and have cared for throughout a series of surgeries and other health problems. This experience has helped me learn how to administer medication to animals, follow strategic dietary needs, and keep up with other basic health needs. I have had pets around the house since I was three years old, and my daily duties feeding, watering, bathing, walking, and playing with them began around age 7. I love animals and the outdoors, and am always full of energy to take them on walks or to play. I am good at keeping up with a pet’s schedule due to my own experience caring for my cat who I love dearly. I understand the importance of reliability, attention to detail, and energetic play time for your pet’s well being. I have learned these things from keeping up with my cat’s litter box needs, scheduling in daily play time, feeding him twice a day on the same schedule as when I eat, and following medical regimes. **PLEASE NOTE: My partner, Lux, (pictured) will be joining me on any overnight house-siting jobs. Upon receiving overnight booking requests I will check with clients to verify that you are okay with both of us spending the night in your home with your animals.** I am have an incredibly flexible schedule, with most days and times available for booking. I am looking for regular opportunities to provide drop-in visits, dog walking services, and house-sitting. Upon my first meeting with pets, I greet them with a friendly, calm energy and let them warm up to me as they need to. I give pets in my care undivided attention, keeping a careful eye on behavior, the details of the space, etc. I am promptly communicative with owners if anything seems to be out of the ordinary or if any issues arise. I also make safety plans with owners so that I know how to respond quickly in the case of emergency.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lincoln is $17

I am babysitting Lucy and thought she could benefit from some walking since I use a walker to get around. I booked Trish and Lucy was at first I scared of her because she is a stranger. But Trish was very patient with her and as soon as she got the leash on and they walked out the door she had a great time. Lucy has really enjoyed her walks and I am so happy that she is able to get exercise that I cannot give her. I would book Trish again anytime; as this was just a temporary booking while my son was sick we won’t be needing her again right now but I will check back in to see if she is available next time Lucy is at my house.
I am so grateful to Donelle for helping me with late night dog walks while I work!! This is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience . I appreciate the updates and photos as well. Thank you so much to Donelle for your care for Shiloh, you are the best!
She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs! She walks our girls Monday through Friday and is always on time, reliable, and consistent. She is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with them, and always keeps us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re at work. Our girls are always happy to see her, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about them. We feel very lucky to have found someone so responsible and trustworthy. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thank you so much for being so wonderful with our girls! ❤️🐾
Emma has been my vacation dog walker for several years now. She is very good with my boys and they adore her. I lost my hound since the last time she walked for me and she adjusted to my new puppy quickly. She always let's me know if something unusual happens and takes pictures.
We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Jamie. The dogs love her, and she treats them like her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind. When I travel, it means the world to know she’s helping my mom with the dogs. That kind of support is priceless. Highly recommend.
This girl is amazing. Great communication... Flexible with times. My Dharma absolutely loves her. Waits at the door for her to arrive. If you need a dog walker ... This is your person. I would also trust her with sitting though I havent had the need to use her yet in that category. You won't go wrong with Jennifer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lincoln on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lincoln. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lincoln.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
