About: Offering overnight & Extended Stay Boarding for Dogs and Cats – Where Your Pets Are Treated Like Royalty (With a Side of Belly Rubs) Whether you're off on a weekend getaway or an extended adventure, I offer safe, loving overnight and long term boarding for dogs, cats, and any other animals that might need to be looked after. From a young age, I was the little girl bringing home the stray cats, dogs and even the occasional blow snakes pleading to keep them (sadly, I was never allowed to lol). That early passion turned into a lifelong love for animals of all kinds. Raised in what could be described as a miniature zoo, I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles, hamsters, and even horses. So, you could say I’ve had some hands on experience with just about every kind of creature, and I genuinely love them all! Your pets will receive exceptional, personalized care, with plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you're away. I have a securely fenced backyard where pups can get some fresh air, stretch their legs, do their business, and enjoy a good game of fetch if that’s their thing. I am a stay at home momma (I do some work from home for my husband’s business) and I have a very flexible schedule, which means your pet will rarely be left alone and will always have someone nearby to go for walks and offer treats, tummy rubs, or a cozy lap. I have two animal loving daughters Hope (10) and Kendall (16) who take their unofficial roles as “assistant snugglers” very seriously (to the point where they will actually argue over who gets to sleep with the dog in their bed). Also part of the household is Buddy, our 9 year old teacup Yorkie. He’s tiny, but don’t let his size fool you, he will sometimes squeeze out a bark or two at new doggy friends upon meeting to establish his “alpha status” (it's a small dog thing), but after he gets that first initial bark out then he’s over it, and he gets along well with other animals, especially with cats. Most of the time, he’s doing his own thing (like sleeping on the back of the couch like a cat) and enjoying the perks of being a senior pup with main-character energy. And last but not least! We also have one small, two legged wild card, our 2year old son Christian (who sometimes reminds me more of a baby raccoon with how much he loves to explore and get into everything, including the trash can). He’s sweet and snuggly, and very smart and curious. He occasionally tries to sneak a bite of dog food or help himself to a dog treat or two when no one’s looking, but don’t worry, we keep a close eye on him (and the snacks!). While we make sure everyone sticks to their own food groups, he definitely adds a little extra character to the house, speaking of which (in full transparency) my home is cozy, welcoming, and full of love… and also sometimes full of toys, friends, crumbs, and the general chaos that comes with raising three kids and a Yorkie with a complex. So while it may not look exactly like a magazine spread as much as I’d like it to, it’s a happy, safe, and pet-loving environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. I understand dogs can get excited or overly vocal in new environments. I use calm supervision, structure, and positive redirection to help manage barking and keep all pets comfortable and relaxed during their stay While you're away, I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can see how much fun your fur baby is having, and rest easy knowing that they are safe, happy, and maybe even a little bit spoiled. Being away from your pet is hard, but leaving them in loving, experienced (and slightly sticky or crumb-covered) hands? That should be the easy part. I also offer a $20 promo for all new clients that book with me for the first time if you use the link below: https://www.rover.com/sit/kellil04186 I work from home, offering flexibility to take dogs out as needed. Throughout the day, I have ample time to walk, play with, cuddle, and give attention to your pet(s). I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely potty and play for short periods. Well-behaved, house-trained dogs are welcome to roam freely indoors. Others may need to be crate-trained (I have extra crates available). Pets are allowed on the couch, and I will follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, schedules, and furniture access.
About: I have had all sorts of animals since I was born. I currently have 3 dogs(a german shepherd, giant schnauzer, and mini schnauzer), 1 cat(russian blue) and 2 ducks. I know how to give medicine if needed. No animal is too big or too small. I have been pet sitting for family friends for about a few years now. I have always wanted to work with animals since I was in 5th grade so being able to work with your animals will help me fulfill my dream. I will love and care for your pet like they are my own. Sometime in the future, I want to further my education in Veterinary Science and hopefully get my degree one day. Being able to work with your animals will help a ton! I am currently working 4-5 days a week for Lululemon in Salt Lake and I always have Sundays off no matter what the month is. I keep pets comfortable and happy in my home by sticking to their routine for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, lots of attention, and feel safe and loved.
“Stephanie is so caring, reliable, and communicative! I'm usually uneasy when I leave town, but not this time. I knew how each of my pets was doing and I was never worried about their well-being. She sent me cute pictures and videos that helped me feel like I was always connected to them. That peace of mind is invaluable. I appreciate her help and I would highly recommend her!”
“Jacob was amazing! Super friendly and kind! Kept me up to date with pictures and a thorough summary of his visit each day. Cant recommend jacob enough! We will definitely have him watch kitty in the future.”
“Marie has dropped in for my large breed dog, picked him up for dog park visits and watched him for me during vacation. I love that she has experience with large dogs, administering medications and is really hands on and passionate about dogs. My pup is not low maintenance in terms of needing monitoring for counter serving and getting into food, doesn’t like being left alone etc. and she handles it great. She always sends lots of photos and updates which helps make me feel at ease. Would recommend Marie for your dog care and needs 100%!”

My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care.
About: I live with my dog Taro, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, walks, and understanding a dog’s behavior and needs. I also have experience caring for cats, having lived with three cats with different personalities, which taught me patience and how to respect each pet’s comfort level. I provide calm, attentive care and always focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m available for evening visits during the week and flexible on weekends, and I’m happy to provide photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Privately insured. I’ve always had many different kids of pets and I’m comfortable with large and small breed dogs as well as cats.

I have plenty of space inside, as well as options for kennels. We do twice daily long walks if the weather is good, and plenty of short potty breaks throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and I can give your pets attention, play time and potty breaks as needed. I like sending updates throughout your pets stay so that you have fun pics and videos to see what we’ve been up to every day :) I have a playful, friendly pooch of my own, but he doesn’t need to interact with your pets if anyone is feeling uncomfortable. Cats and dogs are kept separate, and meals and bones are separate as well, with no free access to the kitchen. I have experience with special needs animals and medication management. I have no preference on the size or breed of your babies; we welcome them all here as long as everyone is safe!

About: I see every pet as a member of the family that needs attention, love, and compassion just like the rest of us! I’ve been a dog owner, lover, and enthusiast for many years. I was raised with a Chocolate Lab, a Shih Tzu, and raised and trained a Bluetick Coonhound. I now have a mini goldendoodle named Franklin that I adore! He is very loving, trained, and loves every dog, animal, insect, and human he meets. I work night shifts as a server and will be available from 12pm-4pm most days! (: I am open for drop ins and fun walks. I am more than happy to accommodate to your care preferences, just let me know if your pet needs any extra attention and I’d be happy to help. (:

Wednesdays are especially flexible for me, and I'm happy to coordinate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays around my work schedule. As a lifelong animal lover with a house full of pets, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving each pet the individual attention they need.

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities!

I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, respect their home, and pay close attention to their pet's behavior and comfort. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!

I highly recommend Sarah M as a pet sitter. She took excellent care of my cats on 2 weekends when I was traveling. She arrived on time, sometimes early, to tend to my kitties. She used her time to pamper them with lots of petting and affection. She followed all my requests and instructions. I was able to watch her doing her tasks and talk to her on a video chat app. I asked her to feed them canned food, which she did. I asked her to give them catnip and she did that also. She cleaned the litterboxes each day. She kept the floors clean. Overall, Sarah is my top choice when selecting a pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 3,393 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
