“This is my second time booking with Emily and she did just as fabulous as the first. She is receptive of requests, quick at responding, and makes sure to spend time with your pet.”
“Rachel has been absolutely amazing taking care of our cat - he’s a bit older and has various meds but Rachel handled everything with ease, kept us updated throughout, and just clearly really cared about our cat and wanted to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We are really glad to have had her care for our cat over the holidays.”
“Rebecca was reliable and communicated updates. We really appreciate her helping us with Cocoa especially at the last minute! We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Ellie was phenomenal with my cat Nami, taking time to play with her and pet her when she dropped in to care for her. It was my first time leaving Nami for a long trip but having Ellie send daily pictures really alleviated my anxiety. I definitely plan on hiring her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm new to Rover but I've helped care for animals for many years. I've worked for a dog walking company and it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life. Being out, exploring, and getting exercise was fun for both me and the dogs on my route. I'd give reports and take photos of all our outings. From there, I worked at an animal hospital assisting vet techs and doctors by walking, feeding and holding the animals for their treatments. I learned so much, especially about having patience and compassion for animals that are sick and scared. I gained a lot of knowledge about safe animal handling and body language. I've also completed Fear Free training! I have adopted a pretty quirky Beagle/Boston terrier mix about 10 yrs ago and he's kept me busy ever since. He's very smart and active. A lot of understanding and keeping him busy have helped him come such a long way. It's been so rewarding to see! Are you looking to get your pets out and about while you're at work? I'm available weekdays from the morning until early evening. I'm available for a Saturday morning stroll as well! I would care for your pet as you request. Whether it be a neighborhood walk, a fenced in yard, or a path nearby, I look forward to doing what your pet enjoys! I always have safety in mind, so your pet would always be under supervision and leashed in my care.
“I was a bit anxious about leaving my dog while I went on vacation. Laura provided twice a day drop in visits and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. More importantly, my dog Lila enjoyed her visits and playtime. Laura provided me with updates and photos at each visit, which put me at ease. Thank you to Laura for being professional, caring and a snuggle buddy for my little girl . I highly recommend Laura and Rover.. will use these services again for sure!”
About: I’ve always loved all animals and say I alike them more than humans. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for years. I work hybrid so I have time throughout the week and weekends to check in on you furry family members, play, and go for walks! I always respect an animals and owners space. My goal is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable during each visit, walk, and play session.
About: Hi! I'm Rachel. I have been obsessed with dogs since I can remember! My first word was "doggy-oggy-oggy!" I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years and absolutely love helping other pet owners when they need it! I have worked with dogs of every age range, including senior to puppy. Right now I am looking to primarily dog walk to get more steps in and spend more time with pups! I can also do drop ins for those that need it. Thank you! I have a dog myself (he is more of a miniature horse) at 96 pounds! He is my best friend! I walk him twice a day, and would love to help out as many other dog parents who need walks for their dogs as well! I have a fenced in yard, if there is ever a need to bring your pet to my house and I have 2 crates as well. Ensuring a safe environment for your pup is my top priority.
“Delaney is awesome! She really went above and beyond to take care of my cat even if it was just for the short 30 min check ins! She fully followed my instructions and did more than she had to. If I need a sitter again will definitely be rebooking with her”
“Amy and Scott provided outstanding care for my feline friend! Their dedication to ensuring my cat's well-being was evident during every visit. They spent quality time engaging in play and provided much-needed companionship. Their reliability and attention to detail gave me peace of mind while away. The daily updates and adorable photos they sent me were an added bonus – reinforcing their genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Amy and Scott as trustworthy and caring cat/pet sitters. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion for animals make them the perfect choice for any pet parent.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kind my whole life, including dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I currently have just 2 cats, but I’ve owned dogs before and I have lots of pet sitting and walking experience as a caregiver. Your pet will be loved and safe with me! Prior to graduating this past December, I worked part time as a pet caregiver and would walk dogs in the mornings or on work from home days. Now that I’ve graduated and am waiting for my new job to start in April, I’m able to take a little time off and be a pet caregiver full time. I have very flexible hours and my only time conflicts are if I have another caretaker booking already. I have lots of experience and am very patient with pets of all kind. I’ve found that having a calm demeanor and soft touch goes a long way to helping me build trust with the pets I care for. But im also physically strong enough to keep larger pets like big dogs from barreling through the door or pulling out of my hands when leashed. I am very communicative with the pet parent and will message with any concerns or questions, always listening to what the pet parent requests for their fur babies. Your pet’s needs will always be heard and met! My past 2 years of experience has mostly been walking and drop-in visits, but I’m open to pet sitting and potentially boarding under the right circumstances. I unfortunately don’t have a yard but I am active and would love to take your dog with me to parks and trails for lots of outings.
“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 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 :)”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Lincoln is $25

Delaney did an amazing job with our cats. They can a little timid with new people but they quickly warmed up to her. We have one that requires different medication at different times and she handled the schedule easily.. She even played with them for a bit and of course sent pics. The boxes were taken care of and asked questions if needed. We really appreciate all the time and care she showed them. We hope to work with her again. Thank you!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,326 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lincoln. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
