About: I have owned dogs all my life and several kitty’s along with birds, fish and reptiles. I love them and take care of them just like I would family. I would enjoy taking your dog on walks around the neighborhood and playing ball or their favorite toy so they are able to get out and enjoy their walk and the outdoors. I have experience with all different sizes of dogs. My last dog was a Rottweiler. She crossed the rainbow bridge October 2017 ♥️ I now have 2 guinea pigs, a kitty & a Russian Dwarf Hamster that I love with all my heart. Besides them I also take care of my mother's Jack Russel when she's out of town and I have doggie-sat my neighbors dogs too. My schedule is flexible. Contact me for more information! Looking forward to meeting you and your furbaby (ies). My routine each morning starts off with feeding my cat and guinea pig, tidy up their area and I let my cat outside with me on my balcony. When I get home, my routine is the same. They have their corner of the house where their cage and litter are, their food, hay and some toys. I will give your pet his/her own eating space.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to lizards and everything in between! I've owned two dogs in the past and have experience pet-sitting dogs and cats for family and friends in my own home. Although I'm new to paid pet sitting, I'm familiar with the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else's pet. I'm attentive, patient, trustworthy, and happy to follow your pet's specific routines and needs. I understand that your pets are family, and I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🐾💗 I'm currently a full-time college student with a part-time job. I attend classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and am typically home by 2 PM on those days. Outside of school and work, I have some flexibility in my schedule and am happy to make accommodations when needed. I do my best to communicate clearly and plan ahead to ensure I'm available to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I live in a mid-sized, one-story home where pets have plenty of room to comfortably roam, play, and relax. They're welcome to spend time in my room and explore the rest of the house while being supervised. I do have a pool in my backyard, so safety is especially important to me. Pets will never have unsupervised access to the pool area, and swimming will only be allowed with the owner's explicit permission. I also live in a safe, walkable neighborhood, making it easy to take dogs on walks and get some fresh air! I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable, entertained, and safe while following their usual routines and any specific instructions provided by their owners.

“Valerie is fantastic! I had to reach out for a last minute drop-in visit and she was not bothered by it at all. She asks great questions to follow any instructions you may leave, and remembered everything even with her arriving to a new place within the hour. My puppies didn’t get the chance to meet her prior, but loved having her stop by and play with them. Loved the pictures too! Highly recommend☺️”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and stages of life. I’ve raised puppies from birth when my dogs had a litter, and I currently care for my senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has different routines and needs. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a pet may not be feeling like themselves. I’m available Monday–Friday at any time and have a very flexible schedule. I’m currently studying for my state boards in occupational therapy, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I also work part-time at a pediatric clinic every other weekend, so I have additional weekend availability on the weekends I’m not working. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. My own dogs are seniors, so I’m very familiar with senior care, including making sure their food is soft and easy to eat as they’ve lost teeth, providing frequent bathroom breaks, keeping up with vet visits, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure they get appropriate exercise, fresh air, and plenty of time to relax and soak up the sun.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and myself since I was 13. I've had rescues, older dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and puppies. I've done basic obedience training and potty training with small and medium sized dogs and I've also taken care of older foster dogs I'm currently in between jobs so I have plenty of free time to watch and play with your furry family. I'm home full time 7 days a week and I live with my two retired parents I have a fenced backyard so they can run and play to their hearts content without any outside worries. I don't currently have animals of my own. I have no problem with crating a dog if requested, but I prefer to let them roam and be in the same room as them to watch over and play with.

About: I have taken charge of caring for my two dogs since being blessed with them, I have a female that has special needs from birth which doesn’t allow her to walk much, I take pride on helping her to live a full life which I continue aiming for to this day. My male is a bolt of electricity which requires me to make sure he gets plenty of attention and exercise. With them being two side of a coin it’s allowed me to adapt to care taking for two different demanding dog life styles I am currently seeking enrollment into the coast guard as I attend my education, pet caring is a 365 job which I take pride in. I have two indoor dogs they are trained to listen and respect commands, I have a very playful home ensuring they have ample room to lay about or play with their toys and get attention as they demand it since their husky side is very vocal reminding me to pay attention to them with yelps and howls

About: Hi, I’m Bianca! I grew up in a family of animal lovers and have cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and lizards. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to watch over their beloved pets whenever they needed an extra helping hand. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable, your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Welcome to Bianca’s Doggie Daycare, where your pup always comes first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am an early riser who enjoys staying active and maintaining a structured schedule. I typically wake up around 4:00 a.m., work out, and go for a run before starting my day. Being active allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and engagement they need. I make it a priority to ensure every animal receives proper nutrition, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and believe they thrive when they receive consistent care, love, and companionship. My routine allows me to be reliable, attentive, and fully committed to meeting each pet's individual needs. 🐾💕 I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets in my home. I follow each pet's regular feeding schedule, ensure they always have access to fresh water, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Because I have a structured and active lifestyle, I am able to give pets consistent care and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to help them feel comfortable and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and a calm environment where they can feel happy and at home while their owners Are away!

Honestly honestly, I would always pick her. She has been a rock for when I need someone to take care of my zoo, my geckos, my bunny, and my cat. They all love her and honestly is the sweetest person ever known to earth. I can always count on her even on last minute bookings. I adore her to the moon and back.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lake Lucerne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Lucerne is $35 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 per visit. 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 6,867 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Lucerne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Lucerne. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 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.
