“Macie is absolutely wonderful! We had Macie watch our dogs for two visits over the weekend, and both experiences were outstanding. She was punctual, communicated beautifully throughout both days, and sent thoughtful picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were out. What really impressed us was how Macie went above and beyond basic pet sitting. She took the time to understand each dog's individual needs and personality, and she even worked on crate training with our puppy during her visits. By the time we got home, our puppy was already responding better to the crate command—Macie didn't just supervise, she actively helped with training! Macie was fantastic with both of our dogs and clearly has a gift for reading and responding to what each animal needs. She was incredibly respectful of our home, and when we returned, she took the time to share detailed updates about how each dog did, remembering specific details about their day that showed how attentive and caring she had been. We felt completely confident leaving our dogs in Macie's care, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. If you're looking for a sitter who is reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and goes the extra mile, Macie is the one. Highly recommend! We are already planning to rebook her!”
“Great communication and our pup seemed happy when we came home! She stayed over night, and the house was clean when we returned home. She came and met with us and our pup before the date of sitting just to make sure it was a good fit. Awesome overall!! I would recommend to anyone!”
About: I've always been the number one person people call to take care of their animals! I'm naturally active so playing, going on walks or playing fetch is never cut short. I am not afraid of cleaning up after animals whether it be litter boxes, baths, brushing, tooth brushing, nail clipping or cleaning up the lawn. I am a soon to be college student and am available in the mornings and afternoons until 8pm. I am not afraid of early mornings if I need to take care of your animals before the sun rises. Weekends have complete open availability! I have a fenced yard for when I take care of other people's dogs but always keep an eye on them. For my cats, I clean their litter box at least once a day or twice if needed and watch their water intake to avoid kidney issues. For any animal, I ensure they're well-groomed and I monitor any behaviors that could indicate a health concern. Any animal will be well played with to keep them engaged and minimize late night zoomies.

Growing up, we were breeding grate Danes, what makes me very experienced with large dogs. I am honest, reliable and caring. Every dog needs a different kind of attention, and I will get to know your dog very well and give him the attention and exercise he/she needs. At the moment, I have two dogs myself, Lucy and Rue, both Australian stumpy tail cattle dogs with tons of energy.

“Kaitlyn took such good care of the dogs and our house. Her communication was amazing, and I appreciated the detailed updates. I would definitely book her again!”

I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets!

About: Hey there! My name is Chloe and I am an unabashed animal lover! I’ve always grown up with pets—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, invertebrates—so I have quite the soft spot for them. At age 16, I started volunteering with the Humane Society, and continued for 2 years before going on to college to earn my degree in biology. I have over three years of professional hands on experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments! I am currently working towards my training certification, but have several years of experience under my belt using positive and force/fear free methods. My dog, Sprout, and I love training together and even more, showing off the results. Sprout has her BCAT, is working towards her first dock diving title, and trains for multiple other sports. My dedication to caring for animals truly comes through when you meet my dog! I’m currently working part-time which gives me the flexibility and availability perfect to care for your pet! Whether it be an overnight stay, drop-in, or walk, I make sure my clients are well-taken care of and happy when I leave. I try to follow your routine as closely as possible. Dogs find comfort in routine and giving them that extra sense of familiarity can help so much when their parent away. I live in a two-story home with a fenced backyard perfect for any pet! We don’t have many rules here, certainly none about furniture! Your pet will have freedom to roam, or, if you prefer, a safe place to be crated. I am very flexible with how you’d like me to care for your dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kind for 3-4 years. I’ve been trained using Cesar Milan methods. I’m also very patient and caring. Most dogs tend to naturally be drawn to this energy in me. I have an open ended schedule. No other jobs, except for DoorDash, which I can arrange around any dog care services you may need. Happy to help where I can. I am comfortable with crate training and adapting to different house rules. While I cannot home your furry friend in my home yet, I’m happy to do so in your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lucerne
Madison did a great job looking after my cat, Harvey. Before the booking she made sure to ask informed questions about Harvey’s needs to better care for him and during the booking she kept in touch with regular pictures. Harvey seemed to really enjoy her company and I would 100% recommend Madison to anyone looking for house sitting for their pet. She was respectful of my home and most importantly treated Harvey as one of her own.
Samantha was amazing to help us out with a last minute request. She sent us great updates and photos throughout the day. Our German Shepherd is very wary of new people, but Sam has such a great way with animals that he warmed up to her very quickly. We will definitely trust her to care for our babies again!
This women right here is a 10/10 I would highly recommend her to puppy sit your fur baby ! She was on top of everything and she even is helping me train my baby ! If she could get 20 stars instead of 5 I would put the max capacity ! I got so many photos and so many updates and just seeing my baby happy and safe makes this mama very happy and wants to be my permanent sitter !! We love bri and mike and we will be coming back for more sitting If you let us !

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 600 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lucerne. 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne 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.
