“Audrey is a great sitter for my cats. She even took care of my tanks too. My cats are safe and happy. I got informed everyday and never got worried for my babies. I will definetly book her again”
“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”
“Michelle did great for us. It was our first time with her and she took good care of our greyhound and the house. I would recommend her for house sitting to anyone in need of that service.”
“We could tell from the photos on Imma's profile that she has a special touch with dogs: every dog in the photos is smiling. Our dog Guapo is usually shy and nervous with strangers, but he went right up to Imma when she walked in and happily let her pet him. He was at ease while we were away for the first time. Imma was conscientious about sending us photos of him walking, getting a bath, and smiling from ear to ear. Usually, when we return home, he goes nuts, barking hysterically. This time, he was calm when we returned. When Imma said goodbye, he was ready to follow her out the door. He soon warmed up to us again, and we were happy knowing that he felt secure and cared for while we were away. We highly recommend Imma -- and hope that she will be available whenever we go out of town again.”
“This is the second time Laura has stayed with our two pups, at our home, and we cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of them! She is so considerate and goes above and beyond. We were able to enjoy time away with our granddaughters without any worries. Thank you again Laura! Looking forward to our next vacay!”
“Vanessa was great once again! She is extremely communicative and took great care of my two cats while I was away. She sends tons of updates which are very appreciated! I completely recommend her and will continue to book her in the future!”
“Amber recently house sat with our 2 dogs and she was excellent. She was quick to respond, came out for an initial meet and greet and immediately made us feel comfortable with her watching over both pets. She had great communication, sent photos, and the dogs really liked her. Would highly recommend Amber to watch your pets!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, I’ve had the joy of raising three large-breed dogs of my own and providing trusted care for countless others across Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable with all temperaments and routines. I’m highly experienced in administering medications, including injections, and I always prioritize your pet’s health, safety, and happiness. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm cuddle, I provide the same love and attention I give my own. I'm 42 years old HR professional who has been working from home for over 10 years, live in Miami half of the year and in Uruguay the other half to get away from winters there :) My work allows me to keep pets company and walk them as I have a flexible work-schedule. I'm very caring, loving and clean Responsible and always care for pets as they are my own and give them lots of love, my reviews in other pet platforms have always been excellent and pets love me!
About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions exactly as requested. I understand how important routines, safety, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, leashed walks, basic care, and providing calm companionship. I take this responsibility seriously and will always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home often, work from my phone, and enjoy building calm, consistent days that include walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets. I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow routines closely and treat each home with care and respect.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, whether it was dog walking or playing with them. Ive had numerous families rely on me as I am also a nanny, and take care of their pets. I currently work part time. One of my jobs is dog sitting. So I’m pretty flexible as need be. I love to make the time to ensure the pet doesn’t feel lonely. I normally work in the clients home. We either play around the home or head on outside to a safe area where they can get tons of movement.
“John was amazing with Porter who is a big dog and loves to jump. He came prepared with treats and really took the time to get to know Porters needs. Was an amazing rover sitter!”
About: Your home will be in better shape than when you left — guaranteed. I grew up surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, the beautiful chaos of both. Pets weren't a hobby in my household; they were the heartbeat of every day. I recently said goodbye to Chiti, my 16-year-old dog. She taught me that presence is the greatest gift you can give a living being. That's the standard I bring into every home I care for. I'm a writer and coach who works entirely from home — which means your pet has near-constant human company all day, every day. No empty house. No pet waiting by the door alone. What you can expect from me: • Daily photos and updates — you'll feel like you never left • The same feeding times, walks, and rules your pet already knows • A calm, quiet environment (I meditate and practice yoga daily — animals notice immediately) • A spotless home when you return • Bilingual communication — English and Spanish I'm an experienced, verified house sitter with 5-star reviews from TrustedHousesitters, where I cared for homes and pets across multiple stays. I have my own transportation and treat every home I stay in with the same care I'd want for my own. Your home won't be empty. Your pet won't be lonely. And when you return, both will be exactly as you left them — just a little more loved. I serve the entire South Florida area with my own car: Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and surrounding communities. I work from home full-time as a writer and coach — 100% flexible schedule, 7 days a week including holidays and overnights. I'm home almost all day, every day, which means your pet always has company. No rushing back between jobs, no leaving them alone for hours. I'm simply here. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine exactly — same feeding times, same walks, same rules — so everything feels familiar and safe. I have no pets of my own, which is ideal for animals that do best in a calm, one-on-one environment. Doors and gates are always secured, pets are never left unattended in unfamiliar spaces, and I send daily photo and message updates. You'll always know your pet is safe — and your home is in good hands. I'm reliable, respectful, and treat every home as if it were my own.
“Stephanie was my very first experience with Rover and my first time having someone stay at my house with my dog that wasn’t family or close friends. I am happy to report that she exceeded my expectations and I would definitely use her again! She came over a few weeks prior for a meet and greet and put my mind at ease. I knew Kylo would be in good hands. Stephanie sent SO many great photos throughout the two days/one night she was with him, and did absolutely everything I asked on the print out I left for her. She is responsive and timely, and I can confidently highly recommend her!”
“Sarah is so reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent us just the right amount of photos and check-ins while we were away. I will completely trust her with my dog any time. She is great!”
About: I’m a big animal lover and always treat every furry friend like family. I’m quick to pick up on what they need and make sure they’re comfy, loved, and having the best day ever—belly rubs and tail wags included! I currently work from home and have a ton of flexibility in my schedule allowing for long early walks and plenty of breaks in the day including going to the park a 3 minute walk away. I offer safe and trusted pet care that includes daily walks frequent visits to a local gated park for 20-30 minutes of enjoyable outdoor activities. In addition to regular exercise, pets are allowed on furniture for cuddles and comfort. Our furry friends are never left alone.
“Ernesto was GREAT, he came by before I left for a trail walk with Tuxedo loved him, He watched Tux for 8 days all throughout he sent pictures and texts. He followed my instructions and spent lots of time with Tux while I was gone. He was totally responsible and professional. I will be using him again and you should too !”
“Marina was an amazing pet sitter and we’re so grateful to have found her. She took excellent care of our pets during the holidays, followed all instructions carefully, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog and cats were clearly comfortable and well cared for, and she was very attentive to their needs. On top of that, she kept our home very clean and tidy, which we truly appreciated. Marina is responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Lucerne
Denys was wonderful with our two dogs who can be a little crazy. He stayed at our home while we travelled and took excellent care of Parker and Millie. He asked great questions ahead of time, sent some updates while we were away, and knew how to safely navigate any issues. Our house was also on great shape when we returned. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Michelle was awesome. She took care of Dulce making her confortable with her, playing with her in the backyard and eventually with walks around the neighborhood. Dulce was her happy self when we came back. We look forward to Michelle taking care of Dulce again this coming April.
Our dear Norman was taken care of in our home for the day and Jasmine and Manuela did a wonderful job. Followed all instructions and were very careful with him. He is a special needs dog so we were worried but all was well when we got home! We are glad we put our trusting in them and intend on hiring them again. Thank you ladies for your care.
Amber did an amazing job taking care of our boys for our 2 weeks trip, first time we use a sitter for that long of a period but we didn’t have any concerns while we were overseas, she was very responsive even with a crazy 13 hours time zone difference. Will definitely keep booking Amber for our upcoming trips if she’s available.
Joalys was wonderful and communicated really well during the entire stay. This was my first time using the service to house sit and thankfully it worked out to be a great experience thanks to her. I highly recommend her services as she communicates really well and is great with animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Lucerne on Rover is $51.72 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,327 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Lucerne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Lucerne walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Lucerne maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Lucerne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 98% 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.
