“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with. She was respectful, kind, clean and attentive. She took care of our dogs and they quickly bonded to her while she stayed at our house. She communicated the whole time we were away and sent us pictures of their snuggles and activities. She was flexible and even stayed an extra day when our flight was cancelled and followed up to make sure the dogs were okay after her visit. I trust her with our home and dogs and would 100% book her again. It was such a relief to know they were loved and taken care of while we were away visiting family. Thanks for loving our little gremlins like your own Sandra!”
“Sarah did an amazing job with a last minute booking. She took on 3 working dogs, one of whom has heart issues, medications, and special feeding instructions. She and I stayed in communication the whole time and it went off without a hitch…on my end anyways. Sarah was willing to come back in case of any travel issues which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her again as I came home to 3 happy dogs!”
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of my dog while I was gone! I got pictures, updates, and she even went to get him a new leash because his snapped, so that my boy could still enjoy his walks while I was gone! She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to care for your pets. 😊”
“Ashley watched my elderly dog for 5 nights on our first booking and I came home to a happy and spoiled pup, a clean house, mail on the kitchen table… everything as I would hope. I received lots of pictures and videos and I can just tell my dog was so well cared for. Feeling really thankful and I’ll definitely be hiring Ashley again in the future.”
“We never have to worry about our little furry son when Neil comes to visit. Apollo LOVES him, and Neil understands dogs so well! He’s a great house/dog sitter! I hope he never quits doing this!”
“Zack was so great! He was communicative, accommodating, courteous and took such good care of our big lab, tuna. Making sure he got plenty of exercise and spending time with him. Left our house tidy too. Would definitely recommend him”
“We are very happy Madison agreed to watch our fur army in our home. Her communication was fantastic. She kept us updated on how they were doing and when we arrived back home, our house was very neat and tidy and our fur babies looked like they had a great weekend! We highly recommend Madison and we hope she will be available for the next time we have to go away!”
About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
