About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. We've plenty of time to play with your pups! It is important for us to know whether your pet gets along with other dogs and is friendly with kids. We would also want to know if your pet has a tendency to dig or chew on furniture or shoes so we can make the necessary accomodations. Also it’s important to know if your pet has any preexisting medical conditions and/or requires any medication or supplements to be administered We have a fenced in front and backyard. However, dogs are allowed both inside and outside our home. We also believe in taking dogs on multiple walks a day to give them the exercise they need.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
About: I’ve grown up having multiple dogs in the household where I participated in training with my mom. And I have dog/cat sat for 4 years, as well as taking the clients on walks and house sitting! I’m currently a student and teaching intern so I still have a flexible schedule with available hours to give the pups lots of attention and care! As I live on a college campus there are lots of dog friendly outdoor spaces. I do not have an animal personally so there will be no issues there.
“So grateful Dayelin was able to stay with our Teddy. She arrived on time and took amazing care of our little guy. She made sure he had his meals on time and that he was taken on lots of walks. We were given tons of pictures and Dayelin was impeccable with communication. This really helped put me at ease while being away from him for so long. 5 stars ⭐️”
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.
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.
“Sarah and her partner Embry really came to our rescue when our original house sitter bailed halfway through our time away. We reached out to them day-of with an urgent request for a new house sitter and they were very responsive and understanding of our situation and so patient as we worked together to coordinate a remote handoff of our spare key and house/pet care instructions. Even though they were just finishing a stay with an existing client, they came over as fast as they could and went above and beyond with their care. They checked in often (which was so appreciated since we were abroad and scrambling to make sure everything at home was ok), followed our pet care instructions to a tee, and even took the time to do some cleaning/laundry which we were not expecting but were so thankful for. Connecting with Sarah and Embry turned a stressful situation into a positive experience and we're happy to have met such reliable and caring sitters! We will definitely be reaching out to them for help again in the future.”
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.
“Vanessa is truly amazing. She exceeded all my expectations and took such a great care of my puppy. She took care of my puppy for two nights and send me frequents updates, follow all my directions and preferences and at the end of the night she send me an overall summery of how my puppy did. She is very responsible and attentive and that needs to be recognized. I can tell my puppy had a good night when I arrived home from work. Thank you Vanessa!!”
“We have used other sitters but by far John is THE BEST! He came by our house 1st and spent time getting to meet our cat and dog. He made us feel so comfortable. Excellent communication and pictures. Our girl always looked like she was smiling in all the pics. The house was perfect. He is certainly a keeper! Highly recommend him.”
“This was the first time I was using the app and I had no idea what to expect and all I can say is BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! My Doberman suffers from really bad anxiety separation anxiety specifically. The minute I leave he breaks out of my Airbnb. I couldn’t leave couldn’t go anywhere. I saw Stephany’s reviews and read them all and I’m so happy we went with her. She showed up on time, sent me pictures the whole time and truly made me feel like I can enjoy my dinner out.”

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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
