“Madison helped us out with only a couple of hours notice. She was responsive, polite, and our dogs were well cared for and appropriately tired when we got home. I highly recommend Madison.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember. I have worked up in Boston taking care of animals and for family and friends close to me.

I am currently going to focus on this as a main job for the summer so i am very flexible and available!! I am available all throughout the week morning -night whenever I am needed. I can stop by to feed,play and give potty break and nice walks with your babies! I am even more then happy to hangout for long period of time or stay over the night if needed!! I do not offer play dates or overnights at my own home only because of my dog is a recuse and does not do the best around other dogs. But I love my dog and cat more than anything and my home is full of nothing but overwhelming love for them and I wish to give you just the same for when i’m with your animals :)

About: I have been an animal lover since youth. I have been a caregiver to animals for over 4 years now. I have taken care of pets, big or small, or all ages. Also experience in diabetic care and medication administration for dogs! I work full time, but I am available for mid day walks and check ins or in the evening hours. Also available all day on weekends. I treat and care for your pets as if they were my own. I am very safe, practical, and efficient when it comes to walks, crating, and also ensuring that your home is locked up correctly and in the same condition as I found it.

“This is who you want taking care of your pets. Dependable and takes his time giving them some company while you’re away. Sends you several pics of them so you can check in. Will definitely be booking Gerard again.”
“I connected last minute with a Gary after my scheduled petsitter cancelled the day before my vacation. It worked out great. Gary was engaged and provided pictures each day. He took great care of my cats and definitely won them over. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary as well as use his petsitting service again in the future. Thanks Gary!!!”
“Hi rover community! This is my second review for Katie because she is just spectacular!! She has been doing check-ins for my pup for about 6 months now and she is RELIABLE. Can I say that again, she is so reliable!!! I can always count on her to give my pup a fun check in. She also is flexible (for example, when my pup got into the trash she was able to help us!) and is so adaptable to my crazy schedule changes. Recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!
“Taylor was a fantastic help with our two cats while we were away. I get a little nervous when we are out of town because one of the cats needs medication, but Taylor's photos and messages left me reassured that everything was going well. She was very prompt in replying to my messages, and even went out of her way to help us with a mailbox problem that came up! I would definitely ask her to take care of our pets again.”
About: Hi fellow animal-lovers! As a former social worker I have been caring for others most of my adult life. In keeping with that, I am excited to shift gears and fulfill my passion for caring for animals. I’m here to help, have fun, and provide top-notch care for your best bud! I am available Monday through Friday from the hours of about 8am to 4pm, with potential to provide pet care as needed beyond those hours once a strong relationship has been established. With a background in child development, I understand the importance of demonstrating patience and consistency in forming a bond your pet. I promise to be punctual, friendly, helpful and respectful of your pet and your property. I will follow your personalized instructions carefully, and will communicate any concerns immediately.
“Donna did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. One of them is diabetic and needs insulin every 12 hours. We were confident that they were well taken care off while we were away!”
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
“Lynh was awesome! Our dog is old and slow and she was very gentle and patient with him! She made sure he got a little bit of walk time in and made sure he was settled and comfortable. She went above and beyond expectations and we would be happy to have her watch our pup!”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)

Rachel was great!! She was on time, and so graceful figuring out some things we forgot to go over before we left (old house problems). Daisy loved her and we will def be booking again! Knowing someone caring and responsible is taking care of your pets is truly a gift when you have to be away from them. Thank you so much Rachel!!
Danielle promptly came to our house for 11. She took DJ outside, as much as needed. Danielle gave DJ her snack and kept her company. She sent pictures so we could view DJ and Danielle's interactions. Thank you so much! We are adopting another dog and we may need help again. If we do, I can count on Danielle to help.
We can’t recommend Kelly highly enough! She has watched our dog multiple weekends and during longer vacations, and we always feel completely at ease knowing he's in her care. Our pup has higher needs—he struggles with anxiety and can be slow to trust new people—but Kelly was incredibly patient and understanding from the start. She took the time to build a relationship with him and gained his trust so much quicker than we ever expected. Kelly is also a fantastic communicator. She checks in regularly during visits and always sends thoughtful updates with photos and notes that help us feel connected while we’re away. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive, Kelly is it!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lincoln stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lincoln with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
