“Julie was amazing and so flexible when I needed to change times and took such good care of my puppy. I would recommend Julie to anyone that needs help with their dog.”
“I reached out to Kaitlyn to see if she could accommodate a short notice dog walking request, as I’ve been a little under the weather and my dog was starting to go stir crazy. She responded to my request quickly, communicated when she was on her way, walked Luna for the full 30 minutes and was very friendly! Luna is a happy girl and I would absolutely hire Kaitlyn again!”
About: Since I was a little girl I have cared for cats and dogs. Currently, our fur babies consist of an 8 year old rescue chihuahua mix, Nala, who is my princess. A 3 year old cocker spaniel, Soda, who is my 7 year olds best friend. And finally our lovable orange tabby, Big Buddy, named by 3 year old. My father also relies on me to help with his German shepherd to let her out, play fetch, or pick her up from doggie day care. I currently work part time. Mondays and Tuesdays I work long hours but I am available the rest of the week to assist with your fur family needs. Our home offers a large back yard pushed up to a farm field. We also have quick access to Anhapee trail where we daily walk our dogs.
About: I’ve been around all types of dogs for about 7 years, I currently have a 1 year old Rottweiler I’ve had since he was 4 months and trained him since. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine as it aligns perfectly with my love for animals and my organized schedule. Each day, I dedicate specific times for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets in my care. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. My home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents, with secure areas for different activities like play, rest, and meals. I ensure all pets have their own comfortable space and provide them with toys and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. Hygiene is crucial, so I maintain a clean environment, regularly sanitizing feeding areas and bedding. Regardless of the setting, my focus is on providing reliable, compassionate care that ensures the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to me.
About: I am very proud to be a "fear free handler". That's a big thing for me, if an animal is uncomfortable, I am 100% uncomfortable along with them.. learning their little quirks and finding ways to do things in the best way possible for that specific animal is what I do and I absolutely love doing it. I promise your animal will be cared for deeply while in my care. My passion has always been working with animals, providing them with the care and respect they deserve and I have extensive experience in the field. I’ve worked in horse barns, animal shelters, and dog boarding facilities, and I’m skilled in administering all types of medications, including insulin. Whether it’s feral cats or reactive dogs, I have the patience and expertise to help them adjust and thrive, including building trust with new people. I understand how intimidating change can be for animals, and I’m dedicated to making those transitions as smooth as possible. I’ve dedicated countless unpaid hours to caring for animals, driven solely by my love and commitment to their well-being. When you entrust me with your pet, I promise to care for them as if they were my own, providing compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication in every situation. I am pretty open with my schedule. I will love your babies like my own. I do work mon-thurs 3-9pm and Saturday 11-4. I am a perfectionist. If you tell me you want something done in a specific way or at a certain time, please let me know!! I'd be more than happy to jump through hoops to give your baby(s) what they need when and how they need it. I will put your animal above everything else, that's what I'm paid for and that's what I love doing.

About: I’ve had animals since I was born. Once I moved out of my parents, I instantly got animals of my own. I went to Texas last year to get my puppy, Chase. He’s now a year old pit bull terrier mix who now knows how to speak on command, back up, and many more tricks! I also have an Australian cattle dog that I’ve trained the legendary “bang” trick with a follow up of her playing dead. I occasionally am busy in the mornings until 2pm, just check in with me and I’ll let you know if I can make it or not! I currently live in a house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all get along perfectly and we go to a fenced in dog park regularly to get lots of play time. (It’s usually just us there)
About: Not only have I had dogs my entire life but I worked at a zoo from the age of 15-20! I worked with all kinds of animals and I love them all!

Unfortunately I am not allowed to have animals in my apartment but I am willing to come to you to make your pets feel more comfortable! I give lots of love and attention to animals!
About: I have extensive experience working with pets, including caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, and ensuring their overall well-being. I currently work in my profession with animals on the daily. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and the specific needs of different pet species. I want to provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for your pet to thrive!! I always find plenty of time to spend with fluffy friends throughout my day and week! My schedule is extremely flexible and I am able to work with your preferences! I am able to travel to your residence to provide the most comfortable care for your animals where they feel at home! I’m a regular exerciser which allows me to give your animal long or short walks and lots of playtime!
“Karissa is an amazing dog walker and individual. She and her husband stopped by for the initial meeting. Our Cooper took right to her. She is very flexible. We have had a number of service people at home, along with changes and Karissa has been a great constant for Cooper. She is always on time and professional in her communication. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve watched other pets for years and am always open and eager to care for many more! I love taking walks and always look forward to caring for dogs when I get the chance. I work from 3-6:30 every other week and weekends but am free every morning and evening! I have pretty much an open schedule ! 😊 I have an open yard and two friendly dachshunds named Lambeau and Jordy as well as a bunny named Dapper!

About: I love taking care of all different kinds of pets, I love working with pets that have unique personalities. There is still so many breeds of both dogs and cats that I would love to be able to take care of. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/ daycare facility and still going to school. I still seem to have time that I feel as if I am wasting and need something to fill that void. In my clients home I will try to stick to the instructions that they give me when I am caring for their pet. I will also do anything extra depending on the pet and the different needs that they may have. (Ex. If they are a senior pet or a puppy)
About: I'm a 26yo who has owned cats and dogs my entire life. Currently, I'm the parent of a very energetic husky and 2 cats. I am very active and athletic, so keeping up with a dog's energy is second nature. I love taking my pup for runs, walks, swims, and play time at the dog park. He loves to play with other dogs and can be a playmate if you wanted. I have over 20 years experience in personally caring for animals: including feeding, changing litter boxes, play time, cleaning messes, administration first aid and medications, IV injections, and keeping an eye for unusual behavior. I am caring for an animal every day of the week. I can fit in a lot given my flexible work schedule and ability to travel. Everyone has different standards for pet care, and I am open to adapting and curating care based on individuals and pet needs. I can be a great service in keeping your pet active when needed, and to help keep them calm when necessary. I know socializing and connecting are a huge need to properly care for animals, so as an animal lover I always try to find a connection with the animals I care for

I prefer to care for pets outside of my own home as I have two dogs of my own at home! I am very flexible with meeting the needs to take care of your dog!

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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
