About: I am a positive reinforcement Dog Trainer with 4 years of experience and 6 years of experience in Animal Care. I am also a volunteer at my local animal shelter. I graduated URI with my Bachelor’s Degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I am currently working on building my own business, which gives me a lot of flexibility to be able to take care of your furry family members. Safety is my number one priority. I am all about making sure my clients furry family members are comfortable and well taken care of. I want to provide the best care possible. I will take care of your Pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup who loves long walks and playtime, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or making sure independent cats feel comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so your pets feel happy and at home while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly work in the afternoon and evenings so my mornings are mostly free. I am happy to pop by after work to check in and take care of your animals I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide consistent, personalized care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and bedtime while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I always make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, enrichment through play and mental stimulation, and a cozy place to relax. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family.

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!!

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 :)
“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!”

“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“I hired Renee to care for my kitties while I have been away. She stayed just as long as I asked her to and sent me plenty of videos while playing with my cats and kitten. They were definitely happy to see her and I will be booking her again! She has a genuine passion for animals :)”

“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.”

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!

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 .

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.

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.
