About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Los Angeles. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

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!

“Maria was amazing with our pets! She was so patient with our shy cat, and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of after his automatic feeder had issues while we were out of town. She even made sure to feed and check in on our fish and turtle. We received updates and pictures after each visit, which was great for our peace of mind! Our pets had a great time with her!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets, from childhood dogs and cats to hands-on work in veterinary clinics. For the past six years, I’ve worked in small animal vet clinics as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant, where I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m experienced in safely and sensitively handling pets who may be anxious, reactive, or uncomfortable with strangers. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic pets, and I have experience caring for senior pets, pets with chronic conditions, those recovering from surgery, and pets on special diets. I also have experience with puppies and can reinforce basic training such as house-training and routine consistency. My clinical background has trained me to read pet body language, recognize stress signals early, and prevent issues before they escalate. You can expect consistent communication and detailed updates while your pet is in my care. I treat every pet like my own while maintaining professional standards, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and trust, for both pets and their owners. I am a full-time college student. However, my class schedule allows for plenty of flexibility, and studying can happen anywhere. Your furry friends always fit into my schedule! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. With my veterinary clinic experience, I prioritize safety by monitoring behavior and health, securing doors and leashes, and preventing stress or hazards. I respect my clients’ homes and provide consistent communication and detailed updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I am kind and loving and I love to be surrounded by the out doors. I also love hanging out with animals and playing games with them. I can really do any days it really just depends on how far from me you are located. Weekends do work the best for me. I love cleaning so you will always come back to a clean home and you never have to worry about a mess being left when you come back home.

Alexus could not have been better! Not only did she take the BEST care of our 5 month old pup, she did it within only a handful of hours! We were in a bind with last minute cancellations and she jumped right on to help. Super responsive and commutative. Great pictures and updates. TYSM
Cassidy is great and we’re so glad we found her! She’s helping us raise our puppy and is happy to come over and meet him and help socialize him. She’s punctual and asks great questions, and she listens to what we have to say about our pups. Thank you, Cassidy! We look forward to having you get your know our pups and become part of their family!!!
Allyson was wonderful! She was always punctual and followed everything I asked her to do for Oggy. She also left very detailed notes after each visit, which I really appreciated. Her updates made me feel completely at ease while I was away because I knew Oggy was in good hands. When we came back, he was happy and relaxed, and it was clear that he felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely trust Allyson to take care of Oggy again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to take care of their pet!
Jamie did drop-in visits for our dog over a long weekend, and she was wonderful! She is so great with him, especially during stressful situations like thunderstorms and bad weather. She always keeps us updated and gives us peace of mind knowing he is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we’re away. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust taking care of him. We would absolutely recommend Jamie!
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!
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! ❤️
Michelle was absolutely amazing with our cat while we were away on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and it was a super easy process. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates Michelle provided while we were away. Definitely helped ease our mind as this was our first time away from our cat. We will definitely book with Michelle again!
Kelly took wonderful care of my cat when I was out of town. She was on time for all of his visits and sent detailed updates about what they did during each visit. It was clear by the photos she sent that my cat adored her! I would definitely recommend Kelly and will certainly use her again next time I need cat care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 449 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
