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!

“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!”

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: 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 moved out I got my own cat and raised him and now we have 2 larger dogs and 3 cats. I do work 7-4 Monday through Friday so I would not be able to hangout with your pet between those times 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’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.
“Abigail always does so great with Pawley! He is shy at first with people he doesn’t see all the time, and she always makes sure to take the time to make him comfortable. We love being able to rely on her.”

Rachel has been with us for a few weeks now, spin in 3 days a week. She has always been prompt, asked great questions as shes had them and keeps our puppies active and entertained! They really seem to love her and are very thankful for her caring for our fur babies! We are so excited to keep our reoccurring bookings!!
It is always difficult to leave pets in the care of others, especially if the person is unknown to you and your pets. However, after meeting and talking with Hilary F., I felt very comfortable leaving my two cats in her care. The photos she sent every day while I was on vacation let me know the cats were doing just fine. A big thank you to Hilary F.!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 466 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
