“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.”
“Courtney was a wonderful dog sitter that we would recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pets. Courtney went above and beyond to make sure our pets were safe and cared for and keeping constant communication throughout the week on how they were doing.”
“This is our first time having Marlies housesit our dog and it won't be our last. She is very dependable and very knowledgeable. She had such patience with my shy dog. She would send updates with pictures. The house and everything was well taken care of, like I said, would use again!”
“Kayla is awesome. We used her for the first time recently for a 4 night stay at our house with our two babies (one big baby and one little baby). The dogs loved her and the house was spotless when we returned. No hesitation at all to use Kayla again in the future. Thanks Kayla!”
“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.”
“Wendy was so good about keeping us updated on the activities of our dogs with notes and pictures throughout our time away. She kept my mind at ease for one of our dogs that is older and has health issues. Also, our home was very well maintained and cared for during Wendy's time taking care of our dogs.”
“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”

“Sara did an amazing job! She gave me updates daily and sent pictures of my fur babies. Unfortunately one of them ended up with a stomach issue and she was so kind to clean all the messes and wash the linens. I would use Sara again!”
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.
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
“If I could leave more stars, I would. The BEST Rover sitter we've ever had. He truly loved our dogs like his own, was very reliable and our house was spotless when we came home. Will definitely be using him again!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. I have 20+ years of experience pet and house sitting. I worked at a kennel boarding dogs and cats, worked at a horse rescue, a pet store and I was a groomer. I can administer medication as well as deliver insulin. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. I love all animals and have taken care of many different kinds of pets including hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, rabbits and many more. I love to go above and beyond for my clients, I have even thrown a dog birthday party when the owner realized she was out of town on the day! I work 8-5 and am able to leave on lunch to let dogs out. I am able to spend most of the evening with your pets as well as overnight. I love walking so I can do a couple walks a day if your dog requires it. I can crate your dog if needed. I can administer medication and injections. If any minor grooming services are needed I can provide them. I accommodate picky eaters and will hand feed, blend food or whatever will help them eat.
About: I've taken care of dogs for about four years now. I first started when my roommate left for Korea for about a month. I've always had an affinity towards dogs so taking care of his dog made me want to take care of other dogs as well. Ever since then, I've been able to take care of 18 other dogs. Whether it be playing with your pets or walking them around or going potty, I have everything covered! I have time to take care of your pets on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between the times of 11:30 AM to midnight. Also, Saturdays I am free whenever. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of attention. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Nneka took such wonderful care of Rex. He struggles with separation anxiety, but he felt safe and comfortable with her right away. She has such a kind, calming energy that really put me (and Rex) at ease. She was also very responsive and great with communication—after our initial contact, we quickly arranged a meet and greet, which made everything feel so smooth and reassuring. Her dog, Esperanza, is absolutely adorable, and it’s clear they share such a loving bond. Seeing how well she cares for her own dog gave me even more confidence. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
About: I was raised from birth with dogs around in the home! My grandmother had a golden retriever named lady and she was the best dog in the world! I have loved dogs since and believe they are so special and people need to treat them with the upmost respect! They need exercise and proper care which I have read many books and had life experience raising them. I am extremely flexible and available to help take care of pets whenever needed. I work from home so I can leave whenever needed to help out. I have a two story house with a big back yard for our dogs to play with each other if your pets needs somewhere to go. I have a Multipoo whom loves to play with other dogs.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
