“Denys took amazing care of our dog Rocky while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and kept us at ease knowing Rocky was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, giving me a natural understanding of their needs. I am the biggest dog lover ever, I would do anything for them. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or offering gentle support to older dogs, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My work is fully remote, so I have more than enough time to properly care for and be with your furry friends. The only times I wouldn’t be available are the times I travel, but other than that, when I am home, I can dedicate most of my time to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. I currently have no permanent pets due to my travel schedule, which is why I’m so excited to care for pets while I’m home. My beautiful, spacious resort-style apartment is incredibly pet-friendly, with plenty of outdoor space to play and explore. With stunning views of a waterfront marina walkway, pets can enjoy peaceful walks and fresh air. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for!
“This is the second time we had Olga to sit Capone and was another great experience. We went to Miami for dinner and not once was concerned about him. The updates kept coming to my phone. She took him to our Dog park. Capone lives her and so do we. If she’s available and you want your dog safe and happy hire her and you won’t regret it”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve been taking care of dogs. I am new to Rover. I am always here your dog(s). I am constantly around animals and committing myself to take care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and will adapt and learn how to best take care of your dog. When I am with your dogs I dedicate my time to being present with them. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask any questions. There’s always an answer. Chat soon! I am currently free all day, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Wednesday and Thursday I can work anytime besides 1 to 6 PM because I’ll be in class. To establish trust, I let the dogs smell me. Then I play fetch with them to understand a bit more about them. To ensure safety at my clients home, I always go in the backyard with the dog, watch them, play with them and make sure everything is going smoothly.
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I grew up taking care of my dogs, both big and small. I also have a cat named August. He’s my bestie! I love all animals. I like to feed ducks and turtles at the lake by my home. I work remote Monday-Friday. I have an hour lunch break to check on pets during the day. I’m also available most days before 10am and anytime after 5pm. I’m very good with most animals. I value them as emotional creatures and try to pay attention to their needs. When I leave my cat at home for prolonged amounts of time, I make sure he has all his favorites/needs - food, water, toys, his favorite shows or an open window so he can watch squirrels. I’ll make sure to treat your pets with the same courtesy!
“Luis was very easy to work with. He came to visit our dog beforehand. Teddy got lots of walks and lots of love. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Cannot recommend enough!!! Thank you!”
“Wow. We have never used a pet sitter with any of our dogs before, but we had a trip planned and recently rescued a puppy, so we had to leave him for a week. We were so nervous about leaving him with someone, especially being so young. The moment we (and our pup) met Vanessa we felt at ease. Throughout the entire process she was professional, so kind, thoughtful, and loved our puppy as her own. She sent us pictures and videos several times a day, which really put us at ease. When we returned, our puppy was so happy and you could very clearly see how well he was taken care of. We truly cannot say enough positive things about Vanessa and the love and care she provided our puppy. Would HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be planning trips around her availability in the future! Thank you so much, Vanessa!”
About: I have 20 years of pet care experience, I was 7 years old when I got my first dog. I love playing with dogs and I can easily tell when dogs are bored, need to go potty or are hungry. Attention is my best skill! I currently have a one year old Toy poodle living in my house, her name is Onyx, she is playful and enjoys company. updates will be made if necessary, message me for more questions(:
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always wanted a pet. Not giving up, I now provide care and love for others’ fur babies while they are away. They will always have fun and get the best care with me. I’m currently a online student and a mom so the flexibility of my morning and evening before I pick my kids up is a great way to earn money. I make sure they get enough exercise and brought water as well as their food. When it’s time to eat I do my best to make sure they eat. I’m a firm believer about pets needing the natural feeding style they would use in the wild.
“Valentina is amazing! I had never used rover before and she was able to go check on my dogs during an emergency. She sent photos and let me know all was well. The next day, we booked her for house sitting and she was amazing. She checked on them a few times through the day (sent photos every time), and spent the night keeping our animals cozy in their own home. She is communicative and attentive. I recommend her and WILL be using her again when needed!! Thank you so much Valentina.”
“Brenda did a wonderful job taking care of our pets while we were away. She showed so much love, patience, and genuine care for them. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Within a few minutes after the meet and greet Lya connected with a 6 month old, 40lb+ German Shepherd pup that is all Nails, new Adult teeth and Full of energy. She did remarkably well in connecting and calming my beautiful little monster very quickly and "Nala", my baby beast just wanted to play. Highly recommended. Thank you Lya!!!”
About: Ever since I was a child I've loved animals my last 3 jobs were at an animal hospital working as a pet nurse assistant which meant it was my duty to care and provide for the dogs and cats we were housing.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years. From dogs and cats to smaller pets, I’ve always had animals in my home and understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable, attentive care. I’m available for a variety of booking needs and can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day I follow each pet owner’s routine and care instructions to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they experience a smooth, stress-free transition while in my care.

This was the second time Denis stayed with our dogs, and he was again fabulous. Our travel plans got messed up on the day we were coming home, and Denis stayed longer than he was supposed to so that he could care for Millie and Parker. I really appreciated having the peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands. Denis is great, and we would book him again for sure!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Lucerne is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $91 per night. 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 4,275 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 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.

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.
