“Mia did a great job watching over our dog, cat and home. We were in a pinch to find a sitter and she was reliable and trustworthy! She left our home spotless and sent us a ton of photos with our pets. They really took to her and we could tell they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. I would definitely book Mia again for our next trip, we are so happy we found her!”
About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior. Overall animals mean so much too me & I would be so grateful to be able to take care of your babies ❤️ I am currently a college student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client. The first thing I asked them to do is to write everything down that I need to do on a day-to-day basis on a piece of paper and leave it on the kitchen table so I make sure I’m doing everything I can for the animals. I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.
“Amazing communication and such a caring sitter! Sarah took wonderful care of our pups and kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been with pets my whole life. When growing up I had multiple cats in our house and I also grew up with a small dog. Once I move out I got my own cat and raised him and now we have 2 larger dogs. I am a teacher and I’m on summer break with a little serving job so I can come by your house many times throughout the day. I will come and play with your pets, feed them how you explain to, bring them on walks or outside to get some energy out when needed.
About: I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family away on trips; as well as having volunteer regularly at shelters! I love both cats and dogs or any size! I work full time in Downtown Lincoln. I have early work hours and get off around 3PM. I can provide afternoon walks or check in on your pets twice a day. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy types. I also have experience with cats; cleaning litter boxes, admitting medicine and of course playtime! I prefer to take care of pets in their clients home, so they feel more relaxed. I love to play with toys, go on walks or just sit on the couch with them. Please let me know what your pet enjoys most!
About: I have had dogs and cats in the past, and am now the proud owner of two kitties! Ramona and Lucy keep me busy at home, but have been a Rover sitter for years. I love getting to meet new pets! I live and work in Lincoln! I work mostly weekdays and occasional weekends, the specific days vary which allows me to be pretty flexible. My day is 7:30a to 4p, so if you need a visit early in the morning I can do that! Overall I feel I have plenty of time in my schedule and would love to put that time to good use. My girls at home are my children! They’re spoiled with all of our love and attention. I understand that pets love their home, routine, and familiar smells. Trust that I will respect your pet’s nerves while you’re gone (if they have any). You’re their person, but they’ll be safe and loved in your absence.
“Came home to a happy pup who had full bowl of food and water and all is well! Short notice and last minute request as I forgot to book until a few days before my trip and Mya came through!”
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for about 5 years! Only recently have a stopped due to me moving to Nebraska for college. I have had a wide range of clientele from dogs to cats to birds and even large animals! I am currently a sophomore in college at the University of Nebraska with that being said I am available after 2pm most days and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4pm, I am also available most weekends! I have a very good attention to detail, I have worked in a vets office, as well as very dependable and trustworthy! I also am very big on an open line of communication.
About: Dogs make the world a better place. I would love to take care of yours. In the past, I’ve made lots of dog friends through having my own, walking friends dogs, and taking care of them when they go out of town. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare. Taking care of pets has always been a part of my daily routine. Consisting of feeding, making sure they have water, walking them and giving them lots of love. I offer professional, reliable pet care services, including daily dog walking, overnight house and pet sitting, specialized puppy care, and attentive support for elderly dogs.
“Mikayla was both professional and personable! Our pups were relaxed and happy when we got back from our week-long vacation. She did an amazing job with both our 9-year-old dog and our 4-month-old puppy. Not only were they well cared for, but our home was too. I almost don't want to recommend her because I don't want others to snatch her up! I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind we had using Rover for the first time. She's the best!”
“Angela did a great job at my house with my dogs. She had great communication and bonded with the dogs. She was conscientious and reliable. I plan to use her again. I knew my dogs were being well taken care of.”
About: Dogs and cats have been a big part of my life since I was a baby. My family never had less than 4 dogs at a time all different breeds and different sizes! I have taken care of friends and family's dogs since I was old enough to be home alone. I have also ridden horses and worked at several barns that had lots of cats and dogs, including breeding large mastiffs and mini golden doodles, that I helped take care of. My main hobby when I want to get out of the house is training my own dogs on and off leash. Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats, I have also worked as a vet assistant for a traveling vet working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I would love to share my love with your pets. I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! We have 2 very friendly dogs of our own that we take out daily for exercise. I am available all times of the day and can take on last minute requests. I have two very friendly dogs and lots of places to take your dogs on walks or go play at a park in my area. Everything is your choice, I can crate your dog when needed if you chose, we could have lot of activities or none, all your choice! If you chose for me to come to your home, I can follow whatever routine you would like!
About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.
About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
We would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Grace for dog sitting! We had a last minute need for a Rover sitter while on vacation and Grace was able to come to our house immediately to help out. We appreciated the great communication and responsiveness. 100% excellent Rover sitter!
Maleah was great with our dogs and we felt very comfortable with her staying at our house. We have a diabetic dog with anxiety and it was nice to not have to worry about him given that he has specific needs. She was very responsive when I checked in and didn't hesitate to ask questions if she needed clarification on something (our diabetic dog can be finicky). She's great!
Tracy was an awesome sitter! She had excellent communication and consistently helped me feel good about the boys with updates and pictures. She kept them super happy and well cared for. I ended up booking sitting when I thought I pushed check ins, so I did not have the house very prepared. She rolled with it and made it work which was awesome! Would 100% recommend!
Liliana did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I came back to a clean, well-kept home, and everything was in great shape. I have zero complaints and would gladly book with her again.
Mallory exceeded our expectations! She was friendly, kind and so communicative during our 3 day weekend trip. We will definitely book her for our next trip!! We really can’t recommend her enough! Such a trusted and amazing individual with our home and our furry babies.
Aubreanna was the best dog sitter I could’ve asked for! I will 1000% rebook with her again. I completely trust that my dog is safe and cared for with her. I have a senior dog with medical conditions, needing compassionate care. Aubreanna certainly gave that. She was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates while tending to his every need. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about you pet, book with Aubreanna
I would like to start out and say Donelle was amazing! It's always nerve racking to find someone to watch your dogs when you go away on vacation. We were so lucky to find Donelle on Rover. She responded quickly to our request for in home care. She came over a few days before we had to leave so she could meet the dogs and see my house. She showed up at the scheduled time and was very organized with notes and questions to ask about each dog. Our dogs loved hanging out with her while we were gone and she made sure to send lots of updates and pictures which we loved. I would not hesitate to book her again to watch our dogs and she will be the first person that I will reach out to. She really did an amazing job!
Carissa did a fantastic job caring for our two high energy dogs while we were away. She was reliable, punctual, and a good communicator. Carissa took great care of our home and left it clean and organized. I highly recommend Carissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lincoln walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lincoln maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
