About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
“Ryland was amazing with my dog, he went above and beyond to take care of him while I was away and he got him the activity and attention he needed. Highly recommend Ryland to anyone who just wants their dog to be loved the way you love your dog.”
“Dennis is dependable, reliable, and so good to our pup! Our dog loves his walks, and he puts us at ease caring for him as we would. I would recommend Dennis to anyone!”
About: With a wealth of experience from owning dogs and cats my whole life and walking/pet-sitting for the past 15 years for dogs of all sizes and demeanors, at the end of the day I just love hanging out with animals! The goal is always to provide loving and informed pet care while making it a fun time for everyone involved :) I’m all for providing care that fits your pet’s specific needs and personality! Specific experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs in my own home. I work part time remotely with a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of requests! Most days I’m flexible and open with any timing. For services in your home: I'm very respectful and aware of the space and your pet’s needs - never forgetting to shower your pet with love and attention! For services in my home: Your pet will be part of the family and closely looked after while they’re with me. They’ll have comfortable places to rest and hangout inside as well as a fenced yard to use and play in. I have one very sweet dog for them to hang out with too!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a pet rat! I love animals and want to spend time with them as much as possible! I believe animals are definitely humans best friend and should be treated accordingly! My experience over the years has taught me how to care for and respect an animal. I also have experience with giving oral medication and providing updates to owners about how their pets are doing while in my care. Pet care is something I’m passionate about because animals give me so much joy and unconditional love! Pet care fits into my open schedule to be able to enjoy taking care of others pets! Caring for someone’s animal is like having another one myself. I do like detailed information about the animal’s likes and dislikes. I also want to make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and that the owner feels good about leaving them in my capable hands!
About: My family got our first dog when I was 3, I'm now 41, and have been caring for/loving on dogs ever since. My family fostered dogs for our local rescue for 6 years while I was in middle/high school and had about 160 dogs in/out of our house during that time. We specialized in caring for the bigger, older, and abused dogs. One of them that we foster failed with had chronic issues that required daily medicine, so I'm comfortable with administering pills to dogs if it can't just be hidden in their food. I love making friends with all of the dogs that I meet and my neighbors actually joke that I'm their dogs favorite person because of how excited he is to see me. All of the dogs that I've had over the years have been German Shepherd mixes so I'm capable of handling the bigger breeds of dogs on walks. I am a stay at home mom, and my kids are finally at the same school, so I have a ton of time on my hands during the day to help take care of your furbabies. My schedule is open and flexible. All animals are my favorite animals and I love to love on any of them that allow me to. I will provide scratches, belly rubs, kisses, and take them on the best walks
“We are so happy to have met Tom! He did a fantastic job taking care of all three of our furry kids and we would not hesitate to have him look after them again. He has also been great about helping us out to walk the dogs if we are away for a day. We appreciate his updates and the sweet pictures he takes. The whole family is now big Tom fans! Thank you Tom!”
“Wow, Maya took such great care of our dog. She was really invested in making sure our dog enjoyed her walks, and our terrier is not easy to please! Maya will definitely be our first choice in the future. Thank you Maya!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! I have taken care of pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experience goes far beyond standard pet sitting; I am the proud parent of a special needs, insulin-dependent fur baby. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medications, maintaining strict schedules, and monitoring vital health cues. Because I work from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, allowing me to offer unmatched attentiveness and flexible scheduling throughout the day. Being steps away at all times means I am always available to maintain strict medication timelines, monitor health cues, and provide companionship whenever it's needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet behind—especially one with medical needs—and I promise to bring that exact same level of devotion, vigilance, and love to your home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur baby like, they are one of my own! When caring for your pets in their own home, my absolute priority is maintaining their familiar routine, comfort, and security while ensuring they remain safely inside. Because my own fur babies are inside-only apartment pets, I am naturally vigilant about home safety, secure entryways, and preventing any accidental escapes. I focus on replicating their exact daily schedules, from precise feeding and medication times to their preferred play and rest windows. By providing dedicated, one-on-one attention in the environment where they feel most confident, I ensure they receive both the physical care and the comforting companionship they need to feel completely relaxed and happy while you are away.

I have a calm, gentle, and caring approach and I'll make sure your animal family members are safe and happy and your home is looked after with care while you're away. I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide pet care. I am looking to provide short-term petsitting, housesitting, and dog walking services. I am a reliable pet and house sitter who is happy to provide drop-in visits or extended care for your pets in your home as well as dog-walking.

“Alisha took so much care in walking our dog. She made sure she was safe and enjoyed her walks very much. We would definitely love to have her walk our dog again.”
“Mary-Elizabeth has been an integral part of our pups' lives for almost a year and a half. She is dependable, extremely prompt with communication, and so great with Emma and Potato. They always get so excited when she comes for walks, and she is such a dog-whisperer that I'm pretty sure they're better with her than they are with us! They also really had fun staying over for a weekend getaway. :) We will always recommend Mary-Elizabeth for anyone in the Seattle area looking for a dog walker!”
About: Hi there! I have a life of experience with dogs, cats and rodents of all shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of livestock and am excited to help you care for yours! 🐕🦎🐈🐠🐖🐇🦆🫏 Whatever furry (or scaly, slimy or swimming) creatures you may have will be loved as if they are my own. I do ask that reactivity or disabilities/health issues are disclosed upon booking request! I am happy to make accommodations — the more information I am given initially makes connecting go smoother! Let me know how I can help you and your family! 🫶🏻 Making sure that your pet gets the love they need and adheres to their routines is of top priority! We will work together to find the times that work best to meet everyone’s needs. I choose to care for your pets in their space, which I finds allows for them to be more comfortable with a strange person. I am more than happy to take them on outings, such as to the beach or a forest trail, but only after we (you, your pet, and I) establish trust! My goal is to not disturb your pet’s schedule, so we will often stick to their typical routines unless otherwise requested!
“Leah is SO wonderful! She really helped me out on short notice. She is a great communicator, and helped feed my dog after his walk!! You’re in good hands with her. Thank you so much Leah for your help again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Joei truly went above and beyond for my pup! There was a mix up on my end where I had my address incorrect, but instead of just canceling, she actually called my emergency contact and figured it out and still got to my dog. I would definitely put my trust in her again. I love people who go above and beyond for my dog.
I can’t say enough good things about Aaron. From the very first visit, it was clear how genuine and attentive he was to Ms Bella. He took the time to understand each of her quirks, her out going and loving personality, and her comfort level. He has treated her with the love and tenderness, I was hoping to find in a dog walker. She looks forward to his weekly visits! I highly recommend Aaron to anyone that is in need of a dog walker. Especially, if you have a disability, as I do, that may force you not to get out as often as your pet needs. He has taken that stress and worry off my shoulders!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lincoln. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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 walker.
