“Infinity goes above and beyond to take care of our doggo! We love all the photos and updates. She has excellent communication and truly cares about the dog she’s working with!❤️”
About: I have over 20 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. I genuinely love animals and enjoy providing attentive care, including companionship, playtime, and exercise. I understand that every pet has unique needs and a special place in their family. I am responsible, dependable, and punctual, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m happy to work with pet owners to maintain their pets’ usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability, and I strive to provide attentive care while keeping owners informed and their pets comfortable and happy. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I treat every home with care and respect, carefully follow the instructions provided for each pet individually, and make their safety and comfort my priority. I always use leashes when walking dogs and follow each pet’s specific routines, needs, and safety precautions. I’m respectful of your home and privacy, keep things tidy, and provide communication updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: Hi! I'm a college student at Union Adventist University and a lifelong animal lover. I've grown up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. While I'm new to Rover, I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love and attention, I'd be honored to help! I’m a college student at Union Adventist University, so my weekday schedule includes classes in the mid-morning and work in the afternoons. However, I have availability to check in on pets in the early mornings, evenings, and around my schedule when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care, attention, and updates while you’re away. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have grown up with both dogs and cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ll provide gentle, genuine care while making sure your pet feels secure and respected in their own home. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, etc and any special preferences you share. I’ll also make sure doors are secure, pets are safe, and you receive updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, attention, and kindness I would want for my own pet.
About: I have 8 1/2 years of grooming experience and have worked in a facility that had boarding and daycare! I helped in both departments many times of the almost 7 years I worked there. Not only do I have years of pet experience with working but I also have pets at home. I’ve loved animals my whole life! I’ve been blessed to have had experiences with animals in my life. Those experiences would include things from being able to work on my grandmothers farm in the summers to having my own pets while growing up. I work a full time job as a groomer but am free most Fridays and all Saturdays. As well as all day on Sundays. I’m open to anything after 5pm Mon-Thur. I have a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and Bengal. My king Charles name is Isabella and she is a registered ESA. She is crate and potty trained. She also graduated a manners training class. While she is fully trained, we spoil our little girl. She gets lots of love and cuddles as well as being able to be with me at work every day. While at work she gets to meet many dogs and many breeds every day.
About: Hi there! When it comes to taking care of dogs, I would describe myself as a caring, attentive, punctual, and overall loving dog sitter. I have over a year of dog sitting experience, specifically with a Golden Doodle and Sheltie. I will make sure your dog is well taken care of through long walks, playing fetch, meals when expected, giving treats, and lots of belly rubs. Hope to take care of your pet soon! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can do whatever is needed at the time to take care of your pet (feed, potty time, walks, playtime, etc) If taking care of your pet, I am able to provide lots of backyard space to play fetch as well as provide lots of inside space so that your dog is free to roam around comfortably.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with 4 dogs of my own. I’m also a dog groomer, so I have knowledge on all sorts of dogs and their behaviors. I work full time as a dog groomer Tuesday- Saturday until 3 on average. I can stop by to see your pups in the afternoon and all day Sunday and Monday I provide pet care in the client’s home, making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.
About: Hey! I have a strong passion for animals, which has led me to gain a wealth of experience in pet care. This includes not only looking after my own pets but also taking care of those belonging to family and friends. My hands-on training with my dogs has equipped me with the skills to handle a variety of breeds, from small to large, and different age groups, including puppies and seniors. My approach to pet care focuses on building trust and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I enjoy engaging in activities that promote their well-being, such as exercise, training, and socialization. My reliability and commitment to providing high-quality care have earned me positive recommendations from those I've worked with. If you have specific aspects of my experience or services you're curious about, feel free to ask! I am a stay-at-home mom and can adjust my work schedule as needed! I'm always open to making arrangements, provided we discuss them in advance. As a stay-at-home mom, I find great joy in caring for my pets alongside my family responsibilities. Managing the needs of three pets requires organization and dedication, but I love ensuring they are well-fed, groomed, and taken out regularly for potty breaks. Walking my dog is not only a crucial part of their daily routine but also a wonderful way for me to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Additionally, I often help out my neighbors by walking their dogs as well. This not only strengthens my bond with my own pet but also allows me to contribute to the community and support fellow pet owners. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment for my pets, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love. If you have any specific questions or areas you'd like to know more about, feel free to ask!
“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life starting from the age of 10. I’ve always helped when it came to feeding, walking, and any potty pick ups. I’ve taken care of dogs for both family and friends. Currently only available afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as afternoons and evenings on weekends due to school and a regular job throughout the week. I like to make sure that I know all entrances and exits and if there’s any loose doors/handles, that way I know where to keep an eye out around the house of clients, so no one gets hurt or out without supervision.
“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 ❤️”
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. I always keep a close eye on dogs while they’re out in the yard and measure out their food carefully. I'm happy to wipe muddy paws before coming back inside, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and balanced
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with pets and have had my own boxer mix for the past 8 years, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. With over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including giving medications and helping with post-surgery recovery. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a laid-back senior, or just needs lots of love and attention, I'll care for them like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have my own pet and already structure my day around providing attention, exercise, and care. I work Monday through Friday, and i can provide care before work, during my hour-long lunch break, and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to longer walks, cuddles, and fun activities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and truly at home. I meet each pet where they are and build trust at their pace, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and reserved. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. My gentle 11-year-old boxer gets along well with other pets and helps create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way.
About: Hi! I’m Natalie, and I’m a huge animal lover who would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I also have my own Goldendoodle, Willow, who absolutely loves making new furry friends! She is very playful, gentle, and friendly and would be so excited to have a buddy to hang out with. Because Willow would be around during stays, I do ask that your dog is comfortable and friendly with other dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾🤍 I work as a CNA, but I have a flexible schedule because I’m able to sign up for shorter shifts that work around my availability. I’m very intentional about making sure I have plenty of time to care for pets, which allows me to come home and let dogs out for potty breaks, take them on walks, give them lots of attention, and spend time hanging out with them. I want to make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. 🐾 When your pet is staying with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved just like they’re at home. I’ll keep them on their normal routine as much as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to make time throughout the day to let them outside and give them attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My Goldendoodle, Willow, is also very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your pup will have a fun little friend to keep them company! 🐾🤍

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
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.
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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lincoln is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Lincoln. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lincoln after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
