“Lindsey has been great! Our Benny can be quite anxious meeting new people for the first time, but Lindsey has been great and just a few times watching Benny he has already warmed up to her. Thanks Lindsey.”
“Jessica was great! She house sat for us last minute after another house sitter cancelled on us two days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding. She came over prior and bonded with our dog and met us and we went over all that was needed! She left our house clean and tidy and most importantly provided daily pictures of our dog Mowgli.”
“We had an excellent experience with MarinaRae and would highly recommend her as a cat sitter. She kept us informed throughout our trip with regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned home. She also left our house in fantastic condition — clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely use MarinaRae again!”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing. She made sure to send us daily updates so we knew our pets were happy. She ensured their safety when one tried to escape- and made sure to let us know immediately. I highly HIGHLY recommend Wendy- and will definitely request her the next time we have to leave our babies!”
“Juno had an amazing stay, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. It was clear she was treated with kindness, attention, and plenty of love, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We received great updates throughout the stay, and came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed dog. We would absolutely book with Wilson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“Kayleigh did an exceptional job, and our dogs love her!!! She sent pictures everyday along with an update. She straightened up our home and watered my potted plants too!! Kaighleigh is the sweetest person and you can tell she loves animals! I highly recommend her!! Sincerely Tracy C”

About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.

I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for dogs of all personalities and sizes. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and quirks.

I believe in providing a safe, patient, and loving environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and keeping your dog on their usual routine.

I prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, boundaries, and needs. I’ll also keep you updated during their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving attentive, loving care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lucas is $57 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $80 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.

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 Lucas 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 Lucas 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 Lucas 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.

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.
