“Jessica went above & beyond in caring for my fur babies. There was a thunder / lightning storm during one of her visits, and my Sophie is terrified of thunder (and fireworks!) Jessica spent extra care to comfort her, and even came back later in the day to make sure Sophie had been able to calm down. I'm extremely grateful for her care.”

About: What kind of construction are dogs best at????........... Roofing!!! ;) Don't worry my jokes are much worse than my skills to care for animals! I have taken care of my Bailey for 9 years into his old age. We love to go on walks in the park, play fetch, and of course treats! I want to care for your pet like they are my very own! I am a trustworthy person that has enough energy to keep up with all size dogs. I am comfortable handling animals of any size from teacup to XL. I will even take care of cats! I absolutely love all animals and the joy they bring to be around! I look forward to meeting you and your furry four legged friend!
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.

“Alana was excellent to communicate with and very quickly got accustomed to our chow chow mix and her habits. She made sure to keep us updated and coordinated pick up and dropoff times for walks. She was able to be flexible and adapt to the schedule in the event of inclement weather and we hope to reach out to her again!”

About: I grew up with many dogs, my family bred dogs so I am very comfortable with puppies and animals that are not yet potty trained. I also have experience caring for sick dogs and dogs that need special care. I’m a college student home for the summer, looking to help out around my community and watch after your animals! I love walking dogs and can always come and check on your pets when needed. While I can’t host any pets in my home, I feel comfortable servicing anyones pet in their own home. Making sure to give them water, treats, toys or food.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have grown up in a home with dogs since I was five years old. I cared for my own chihuahua–pug mix, who lived to be 18 years old. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with both daily care and the unique needs of senior dogs. I also have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats. I’ve had my own cats for about six years, including one with chronic pancreatitis who requires frequent medication administered through a topical ear ointment. Caring for a pet with ongoing medical needs has made me very attentive, patient, and comfortable supporting animals who need extra care or special routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided pet sitting for several repeat customers, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including a senior terrier, a pitbull, and a husky. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual temperament, whether they need gentle companionship, structured routines, or more active engagement. Because I travel occasionally myself and rely on pet sitters for my own animals, I also understand the experience from an owner’s perspective. I know how important clear communication, reliability, and regular updates are when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I make it a priority to follow routines closely, respect each owner’s preferences, and provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel comfortable, informed, and confident while you’re away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s comfort level. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and positive experience for every animal in my care. Thank you for considering me. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Miranda :) I currently work part-time Wednesday through Sunday from approximately 9:00am–4:30pm, with shorter midday hours on Wednesdays. I’m available for pet care every evening, as well as mornings before work. Mondays and Tuesdays are fully open, which makes them ideal for daytime visits, longer walks, or extended care. I’m always transparent about my schedule and happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs to make sure we’re a good fit. I’d love to keep you in the loop of your pets care. I will send you a picture each visit and update you on how they’re doing. I will make sure to follow any protocols set in place for me while I am there.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.
“Elizabeth has been great for walking our dog when we have long work days. She’s very communicative and shares adorable pictures. Our dog seems to really enjoy her walks with Elizabeth. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood. It's a joy to have the chance to teach my daughter how to properly care for them. We love the chance to help friends and neighbors whenever they require it. From quick potty breaks, to walks to overnight care - it makes a difference to take just a little bit of time to help each other out. We have 2 acres for dogs to play in and plenty of space for them to stay inside our home overnight to receive all the cuddles <3
About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playing with, and loving pets from a young age. I currently have a 13 (almost 14) year old Catahoula who I raised and trained from 8 weeks old, giving me experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like family! I have a flexible schedule and am available during the day Monday through Friday. After spending 10 years as a medical assistant, I made the switch to full time mom with my two wonderful kids. It is easy for me to drop in for visits, go on walks, or just spend quality time with your pet. I love getting outside for walks and spending time with animals throughout the day. While I’m not currently offering care in my own home, I’m very comfortable providing care in the client’s home and will always follow their preferences and routines. I’m adaptable and happy to stick to your pet’s schedule—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or medications—to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Brooke and his family have done a fantastic job on walking and having funs with my 15 year old Kelpie mix, Sarah. Because of her age, she walks very slow from time to time and also not good with high temperature during those hot summer days. Brooke has been very considerate and accommodating for Sarah's situation and we are very grateful to find a great dog walker!”
“Dennis was exceptional with Sadie. She has trust issues and Dennis was so good working with her. By the end of the week they were best buddies. Dennis went above and beyond with Sadie and I will definitely be using him in the future. I highly recommend Dennis for your pets as he treats them like his own.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
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!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lincoln.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
