“Jessica is awesome. Just when we started wondering how things are going with our 3mo old puppy, she sent us photos of him playing and having a great time. By the end of the stay, he was curled up in her arms on the couch - having made a new best friend. Outstanding service and a wonderful person!”
“Raquel is The OG Dog Whisperer. If you are looking for someone with the skills needed to take care of and make friends with your (old, high needs, spoiled) fur babies Raquel is the one. Highest praise and strongest recommendation!”
About: Hi there!! My name is Jillian, but you can call me Jill for short. I’ve had animals all my life, from horses, dogs, and cats all the way down to guinea pigs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have two cats of my own, one of whom is special needs, so I understand that every pet has unique personalities and needs. I am equally a dog person as I am a cat person, and everything in between! Thank you for considering me as your pet’s step-in mom, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which I know many people aren’t fortunate to have. Whether you need someone to stop by and let your pup out while you’re at work or care for your kitties while you’re away, I’m your go-to gal! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment, and at this time I am not available for boarding in my home, just drop in visits.

“This was our first time having Brodi as our pet/house sitter but I know it won't be the last! She sent lots of pictures and kept us in the loop of everything going on at home. She was flexible when I asked if she could put a delivery in our garage when it arrived very early. She also washed her bedding and made everything ready without us even asking! (Normally we wouldn't even ask the sitter to do that!) She made fast friends with our needy cat and love on our dog who willingly went for a walk with her ... something he doesn't normally do until he knows the sitter well. All around awesome experience.”
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Kristy and Wilbur were lovely housesitters! They kept Lola and Jack the cat company while we were gone and sent us fun pics of Lola playing with Wilbur and Jack hanging out. Kristy is extremely responsive and made sure to keep us updated the entire time. We will definitely be asking her to housesit again! Thanks!”
“his was our first time working with Daiana, and we truly have nothing but wonderful things to say! From the initial meet-and-greet, both of our dogs were immediately comfortable, excited, and happy to spend time with her. Throughout our weekend away, Daiana kept us updated consistently and made sure the dogs got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. The moment we got home, it was obvious our pups had been incredibly well cared for. We would highly recommend Daiana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, whether for big dogs, small dogs, or anything in between.”
“Kayley is a super star, very flexible and attentive to our needs as owners as well as the pets. She was kind enough to check in again on our dog when our flight was delayed, and gave them lots of good attention which my anxious Husky needs:)”
“We were SO lucky to have found Madalyn! She did an incredible job taking care of our mini zoo ( 4 dogs and 2 cats ) while we were out of the country this summer. She went above and beyond by coming right after we left for the airport and staying late the evening we came back to accommodate our flight times. She even went out of her way to take care of our home while we were away, collecting packages and bringing in the trash cans. She communicated with us a ton, sending daily updates and pictures. She was comfortable with all our pets and their high activity levels & vastly different personalities. I truly feel so fortunate to have found her and hope she’s available any time we’re away.”
“Crystal watched over our energetic GSD and home while we were on a trip. She is very professional and knowledgeable, we felt so much more comfortable knowing she was there while we were gone. We received daily updates and photos, which we loved, and when we returned our home was clean and well cared for and our dog was happy. We would definitely love to have Crystal back in our home next time we are away!”

“Alexandra is the best! I would 100% recommend her to anyone to take care of your fur babies! She takes photos and is in complete contact with you every day. My dogs loved her! She is very respectful of your house, and I was very happy with how clean it was when I returned.”

“Joe did a great job taking care of our dog. Right before we had left our boy had cut the pad of his foot. I was worried leaving him but Joe cleaned it up and got the bleeding to stop and kept me updated. Tank seems to have been taken care of well and the house and yard were just as tidy as when we left.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lucerne
Riannon was an amazing dog sitter! She spent most of the time at our house with our dogs, only leaving for her short work shifts. She sent me daily photos, which was such a comfort while we were away and missing them. She also kept the house in excellent condition—even with two labs, which can be a challenge! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,448 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 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.
