“Our shy dog, Chance, had a wonderful stay with Kimmie and her dogs! She was patient and loving with him. He enjoyed the time with her dogs, too! It was fun and reassuring to receive information and pics of him throughout his stay. Next time I need to leave him, I’ll definitely choose Kimmie again!”
About: I’ve had furbabies of every size and breeds since I was a child. Horses, dogs, cats and other large mammals. Never met an animal that doesn’t love me. The feelings are mutual. I am retired, and love fur babies to keep me company and help me stay active. I do require animals be vaccinated and spade/neutered. Not taking cats due to allergies. I have a fenced yard, room to roam, a small furbaby of my own. Furbabies can be crated or sleep where they choose. Always indoor at night.
About: Hi Everyone! My name is Arianna, I recently moved to Hanford. Little about me, is that I grew up raising rabbits. I am a respectful pet sitter. I adore all animals no matter how big or small! I am responsible, and trustworthy individual who is here to love and care for your pet :) Currently I do not have a job, which allows me to have open availability. With this availability I will have more time to meet and love your pets! If your pet is young, old, big or small you can rest assure I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and extremely loved. I will follow their feeding schedule, give them playtime and exercise all while keeping their environment clean. When caring for a pet in their own home, I will follow instructions carefully and treat the home with respect.
“Say third times the charm. Used a couple of sitters since I’ve been here. Won’t speak much on those experiences but Yetta was by far the most comfortable safest experience I’ve received. She will be my permanent sitter while I’m here so she comes highly recommended. Good size yard. Went out of her way to get my boy his extra food even though I deemed it unnecessary. Your pup will be in great hands here.”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were naturally a little nervous about finding the right person. From our very first message and setting up the meet-and-greet through to picking up our dog, Jade, Elyssa was friendly, kind, and quick to respond. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving Jade in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We really appreciated the communication and updates, and Jade came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Elyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“I am greatful for Olivia. She was very sweet to interact with as a client and she was even more kinder to Goldie ! She’s patient and understanding and quick to try to solve a problem if an issue shall present itself. I’d love to use her services again.”
“It was our first time using Rover and it went pretty well. Ellie seemed to have a good time and there were no issues. Definitely nerve racking leaving your baby with a stranger but Arianna made her feel at home.”
About: Wah Gwaan! My Name is Ronley and I just moved to California from Jamaica! I am a dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience raising, caring for, and training dogs. In Jamaica, I helped run a kennel with more than 35 dogs at a time and regularly worked on basic training and behavior. I was never formally certified because certification was not required there, but I gained years of real-world experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Since moving to the U.S., I’m excited to get back into the dog world. I love everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I bring lots of energy, patience, and love to every dog I care for. I currently work part-time and am available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with additional availability depending on the day as I work Nights. During my off-season, from November 2026 through March 2027, I’ll have full-time availability for pet care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of playtime! Safety is always a priority for me. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of supervision, and make sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I also respect every client’s home and treat their pets like family.
“We (including our dachshund Monty!) absolutely loved working with Nadine and Louie. They were gentle and welcoming and took such good care of our dog moving through a period of anxiety. We're so grateful to connect with them and will be returning.”
“Boss & Bella ❤ Brittany and her little family. The day we dropped off Boss and Bella, they went directly to her front door with no hesitation and no looking back. They stayed with Brittany for 5 days and looks like they had a great time. THANK YOU!!!”
“We are thankful to Jennifer for taking good care of our boy while we were out of town for work. We received quick communication and good availability from Jennifer. Throughout the stay, we received picture updates and quick communication as well. At his return, our energetic pup was healthy, tired, and a happy boy! We didn't have any issues with our multiple day stay with Jennifer. She really gets to know your pet and understands their needs.”
“5 stars isn't a high enough review for Kiana and her family! They did such an amazing job with Toby. We got so many pictures and videos throughout the whole visit and everytime it looked like he was so comfortable with them and having fun. I couldn't recommend them enough and will definitely book with her again.”
“Taryn took great care of my little Obi for the 5 days I was out of town. She texted me pictures of Obi everyday to let me see he was safe and happy. I will difinitely go through Rover and use Taryn again for Obi. Thank you Taryn and Rover.com”
“Fantastic pup care! Needed a last minute solution close to home, and Ms. Cassidy came through like a champ! Even had an emergency to attend to that she was able to accommodate with no issues. Our sweet boy had plenty of socializing and play time with the other pups, and got outstanding care during his stay. We would highly recommend this puppy sitter!”
“A+ as always. Numerous updates with pictures from Farin. She alerted me to a rash that was developing on one of my dogs as well that I will be taking care tomorrow. Highly Recommended!”
“Nicole was amazing with our pup, Kobe! He had so much fun going on walks with Izzy and Winnie and playing outside, he came home happy and tired. Nicole clearly puts so much care into making every dog feel at home. She sent tons of photos, communicated consistently, and even gave us a polaroid picture of Kobe to take home! We’ll absolutely book with her again anytime we’re in town. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Zoey absolutely adores Ashlee! As soon as we turn the corner to her house, Zoey starts with gagging her tail and barking. Ashlee always sends me pictures and updates while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby is well cared for and having a great time playing with Ashlee’s dogs while I’m away.”

Kimmie provides exceptional doggy care! My family went on a week-long vacation without a single worry because we knew our Milo was in good hands. She took such great care of him, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She's truly the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their fur baby like family! ❤️🐶
Christine was amazing from the start, a quick response time paired with great communication I felt comfortable right away. She helped me board my baby, Cash, in a pinch, and I am very grateful. She sent text, video, and pictures throughout his stay which helped ease my anxiety. I would 100% book with Christine again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lucerne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lucerne can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lucerne home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lucerne.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lucerne. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Lucerne sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
