About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life (29 years!) and have been a dog dad to my own Siberian Husky for the past 7 years. I also have previous experience working in a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently work fully remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, and I make it a priority to take my own dog on two walks every day, so your pup can enjoy an active routine, too! Whether your dog loves playing, going for walks, or simply lounging around with some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! I work fully remotely, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m home throughout the workday and can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks. I typically start my mornings with a walk with my own dog, followed by another walk or two during the workday, ended with a trip to the dog park. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor play and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime between meetings, afternoon walks, or relaxing company while I work, your dog will have plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long stretches of time! When caring for pets in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as they do in their own home! I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor time, and my friendly adult Siberian Husky provides a potential playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing with other pups. I always prioritize each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, favorite activities, potty breaks, and any special instructions from owners. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow their established routines, keep them comfortable, provide plenty of attention, and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for, wherever they’re staying!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
It was my first time using Rover and to have Jessica as my first sitter was truly the most amazing experience. She was very professional and kind. She paid attention and remembered the things I said. I pointed to the litter manual just in case she needed it but no she READ the whole thing to be prepared. That was just ONE of the many things she did to go above and beyond. The pictures and descriptions she sent made me feel at peace and that my cat was loved and cared for like it was her own. She always showed up even earlier at times, was very detailed with the descriptions of the visits, and took lots of pictures. We had an incident where the fire alarm was going off because of the low battery, I got so nervous my friend had to be the one that texted for me but Jessica acted promptly to handle the situation and made me feel at peace that my cat was doing okay afterwards. Definitely re-booking her every time if she’s available she’s truly great and I can’t recommend her enough ❤️
She is so accommodating! Being able to arrange a little meet and greet beforehand was nice and gave me peace of mind. My Bagel can be a little nervous around strangers, but she knows exactly how to read him and is making friends with him quickly. It’s clear she understands how to make him feel comfortable, which makes leaving him in someone else’s care so much easier. I have absolutely no worries and feel confident he’s in great hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!
We’ll miss Kayla and wish her the best on her new life adventure! My kitty and I instantly gravitated toward her - it was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about animals. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my kitty was well cared for while I was away. I felt very comfortable being away knowing Kayla was with my baby. I wish we could keep her here in Smithfield!
Jenna did drop in visits for our cat for 3 days while we were away. She sent a picture every visit and made sure to let me know how my cat was feeling. I felt safe with Jenna in my home and with my cat. Jenna is trustworthy and she was always very fast and clear with her communication.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $18 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 4,158 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
