“Jessica did amazing job watching my furry babies as well as taking a good care of the house while we were on vacation. She communicated clearly and always was on top of everything. This is the second time Jessica stayed at our house and I’m very happy that I found her, she gives me peace of mind while I’m away and I know my babies are in good hands. Thank you again Jessica for watching and taking care of my furry babies”

About: I have 9 years of pet care experience with my own dog, other people's animals, and as a volunteer at the SPCA of Texas. I have taken care of many animals in my years of pet sitting in including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs. It is not easy for animals to scare me. I'm currently working a part time at a veterinary hospital and going to school part time. I'm not a very busy person, so I will have plenty of extra time to look after your furry little family member. I keep dogs on a leash at all times when walking. I like to follow a list with times for when certain things need to be done. I like to try and keep a schedule that is close to what each pet is used to on a daily basis.
About: Hi hi, I've been a pet lover since elm school. Caring for cats, fishes, turtle, birds, and more! I'm the person at group functions who's befriended by pets before I even know they're around, iykyk. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the underlying concern when finding care for your baby(ies). I'd love to meet your fluffy family, and help with your peace of mind whenever you need a baby sitter. I’m available for home sitting and drop in visits. I'm free, for the majority of the day, Sun-Sat during your booking for pop in visits and longer or full days. Tell me your pets' primary feeding schedule, and I will adjust as needed. I am available to visit your residence for feedings, potty breaks, and of course play time. I also have experience with sr. dogs and medication administration for both cats and dogs.
About: With over 7 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I’m comfortable providing care for pets with specialized needs. I have hands-on experience administering oral medications, managing detailed feeding schedules, and caring for senior cats + dogs with limited mobility. Whether your dog needs an energetic run or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’m calm, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined it. I’m also a proud pet mom to Charlie, my 6 year old Australian Shepherd. He’s an energetic Aries, a total mama’s boy, and my best friend and he can totally vouch for how much I love animals! 🐾 I currently work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible and can work with pet owners so that my personal pet care works best for their schedule! As an Australian Shepherd dog mom, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes in a variety of settings, whether at home, on walks, or alongside other furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m respectful, reliable, and committed to treating your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Izzy was able to take a last minute house-sitting job to watch our dog and did an amazing job! She was very flexible and made the best of a stressful situation. When we got home, our dog was happy and relaxed and the apartment was clean.”
“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.”
“Zoila was great with my dog Tristan, got pictures when I wanted/needed them on my trips and I could easily tell that Tristan was loved and was given the attention that he needs. Can't wait to rebook for all my future trips”

“Maria is a wonderful pet sitter! We have a very nervous, diabetic dog and Maria was able to work with her! They were friends by the end. She is also very communicative and takes good care of the house.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great. We have two dogs, one of which is sometimes anxious, so we didn't want to board them in a strange environment. Keri did a great job taking care of them and was even willing to feed and water our chickens and collect eggs.”
“Ahna was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! Caring for multiple dogs with different personalities isn’t easy, but she handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and care. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly made my dogs feel comfortable and well looked after the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind she provided while I was away—it made such a difference knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Ahna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lucas on Rover is $56.13 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,008 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lucas. 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 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 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.

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.
