About: I volunteer at the humane society walking dogs every Saturday morning and have for years. I've handled many dogs of varying ages and needs. I currently have two of my own. I'm a long-time dog owner and my world revolves around them. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. I walk my own dogs at least once daily. I try to include them in weekend activities. One of my dogs requires daily medication. I leave them alone for minimal time each day. They go to doggie daycare on days I work in the office. I also enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park for a change of scenery. I have a fully enclosed fenced yard, 6ft tall. I control and supervise outdoor yard time. I keep the screen doors locked. I walk my dogs with a running leash that locks, and they are never off-leash. While I'm not formally "certified" in pet CPR or first-aid, I have read books on the subject to be prepared for emergencies involving my dogs. I'm also familiar with the after-hours emergency veterinary services in Lincoln.

Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.

Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!

Meaghan was great with our two dogs Stella and Brickle! Brickle has bad separation anxiety and has destructive behaviors if left alone so finding a dog sitter for him has been such a big challenge and Meaghan agreed without hesitation! She took both dogs on several walks a day, sent photos and updates, and cared for them like family! Definitely recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and honest pet sitter!

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! 🐾🤍

About: My wife and I have both grown-up with dogs in our homes our whole lives and have passed our love of dogs onto our early elementary aged son as well. We have a 4-year old, cream colored labradoodle named Curious George Banks, aka George. We also have a 1-year old, red & white mini bernedoodle named Hank. I am home full-time and your dog will get lots of playtime, love, care, and attention. Your dog will be able to be inside our home or go outside into our fenced in backyard as much as he/she wants. Our own dogs just ring the bells on the backdoor anytime they want to go out, so it is pretty much a revolving door. :o) We have experience providing dogs with oral medication if needed and will follow any instructions you provide us for the care of your fur-baby. We are excited to meet your dog, make them feel like family, and give them a fun, loving place to stay, in a safe and quiet neighborhood and home while you are gone. Drop off/pick up times are 7:00 a.m.-9:00 pm. If you need to drop off earlier than 7:00 a.m. please plan to bring your dog the night before. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine already since we have our own dogs. I am home during the day and my wife is an elementary teacher. We can provide multiple feeding times a day, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, lots of play and companionship. We would be able to have dogs in our home for overnights, which can fall on any day, Monday thru Sunday. We are not able to go to your home or do overnights in your home though. We live in a ranch style home, in a quiet neighborhood. We have a backyard that is completely secured by a 6 foot tall fence. There are three steps up to our front porch and there is one step going into the backyard. We spend most of our time on our main floor, so if stairs are an issue for your dog they can mostly be avoided except for the step in and out to the backyard. Our neighborhood is a safe and friendly place for my wife to take your dog on walks. Our son, who is in early elementary school, loves dogs and would enjoy playing with your dog(s), giving them belly rubs, along with lots of love and affection. We also have two dogs, a labradoodle and a mini bernedoodle who are a friend to all dogs and are use to socializing with dogs of all ages and sizes from a tiny 5 lb chihuahua mix to a 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. In our home, pets are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch and bed, and anywhere they feel most comfortable. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way. We want to meet your dog where they are at and provided them with a place where they feel safe and loved. We are gentle with animals and will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us for care.

About: Finding pet care can be an anxiety inducing experience. My job is to provide pet parents with total comfort and peace of mind knowing that their fur babies are being well taken care of while they are away. Hey there! My name is Kayla and I am a 30 year old childless cat (and dog) lady. I have spent my entire life around animals and wouldn't have it any other way. We always had dogs while growing up, which eventually grew into also having cats, mice, lizards, etc. I turned this personal love of animals into a profession by spending many years working in pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet shelters, and by pet sitting on the side. I have been around so many different kinds of pet personalities and temperaments and strive to approach each animal appropriately to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have also had much experience with special needs and senior pets. A big part of my job is it keep owners updated on any concerns I have or to ask important questions, so you never miss a beat of what is going on with your furry companion while you are gone. I pride myself in having a ton of heart and genuine care for any animal I come into contact with, and promise to treat your fur baby as my own - belly rubs and treats included! I currently work full time, 9-5 M-F. I will have plenty of time in the late afternoon/evening to care for your pets, as well as open availability Saturday and Sunday I will care for your fur baby just like he or she is my own! I'm good at following instructions of care and sticking to the routine they are used to. Plenty of belly rubs and walks included!

We can do drop offs starting at 5:30 pm on Friday Night and can watch your pet through Sunday evening until 9:00 PM. If necessary we can arrange early morning pick up on Monday morning. I can take your pet on one or more daily walks during their stay. If your pet needs additional exercise I have a large fenced yard for them to run and play. As far as skills, I am able to administer oral medications to your pet if needed. Your precious pet would receive all kinds of love and attention. I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed.

Amy is fantastic! We are teachers on a summer road trip visiting friends in Lincoln, NE. Due to the heat we decided to check out Rover to have our pup watched for 2 days while we checked out the area. Amy's bio was amazing. Her experience with animals made us contact her. After, meeting Amy we were 100% glad we chose her! Amy is knowledgeable due to her time working as a pre-vet intern as well as being a former Biology Professor. We felt confident our little Leia would be in good hands. Amy was attentive to our pup and sent many photos and video updates. It was great to know she was in such good hands. I hope others in the area get the opportunity to have Amy care for their pets. Thank you Amy for relieving 2 Californians from the stress of leaving their beloved pup with someone they didn't know.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs through all stages of life. We’ve ALWAYS had dogs growing up in my family and as I’ve gotten older I’ve even helped raise a couple puppies. I dog sit for a few people from work and such whenever they go out and I’ve even helped a couple people potty train their puppies by just letting them out every couple hours while they were at work! I have a cat myself currently and have had multiple dogs (including special needs ones) in the past, so I understand working with animals multiple times every single day. I’d be at your house multiple times a day to let your animals out/check on them. When an animals owners go away I know they have to be sad or maybe even lonely. So I try to go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable while you’re away and even (if they’re not a playful type of pet) to play or cuddle with them for a few minutes at least each time I’d stop by so they get at least a little bit of pent up energy out.

About: I’ve looked after animals for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am experienced in all kinds of animal care. I have knowledge of grooming and emergency care. All my animals are trained so I’d be more than happy to accommodate any training in progress. I love playing with animals and entertaining them. I’ve been house sitting just as long as I have been taking care of animals. I’ll treat your babies as if they were my own. There are no children in my home and I am home full time and can provide frequent play time and potty breaks. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard for play time. We are currently working on expanding the fence as it is not as tall right now and may be easy for later dogs to jump over if they really wanted to. I do also offer plant check in services! Just send me a message and we can discuss details I do pet/house sitting full time so my schedule can be flexible and book up fast. I do ask you try to book me at least 24 hours in advance so I can plan accordingly. I currently offer walks, check ins, over night stays in your home, boarding over night in my home, doggy day care, plant watering, and house sitting. I am home full time unless I have other walks to do (which will be communicated before). I have other animals in the house so please make sure your pet is good with other cats and dogs. There are no children in the home. I am also in the home full time for overnights in your home unless other walks are scheduled, which will be communicated.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. We always had a dog while o was growing up and as an adult I have always owned a dog (or two). I feel a house it’s a home without a dog! I currently own a Goldendoodle. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administration of medication, playtime, and of course snuggles. I work until 5:30 p.m. most days of the week but, I am available evenings, and weekends to care for your pet whatever the need may be. In my full-time career as a registered nurse, attention to detail, reliability, and compassion are part of who I am. I naturally pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or other signs that something may not be right, and I communicate promptly with pet owners. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping their normal routine while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and understand how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family.

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Lincoln

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 164 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lincoln. About 93% of Lincoln sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
