“We were in a last-minute bind with an unexpected puppy and nowhere to board her and our other dog for a week (our puppy hadn’t had all of her shots yet). Dillon scheduled an impromptu Meet and Greet the day before we left. And was able to come to our house and watch all of our animals. I was very nervous to have a stranger in our home but I read all of the reviews on Rover and took a chance. Dillon is very mellow - as is his pup. We were grateful Dillon (and Bucky) were a good fit in our situation.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have a dog of my own that I was taking care of when not in school. I also take care of family friends pets while on vacation and at work. I love to give dogs baths and play with them! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a college student. Pet care can be molded into the ideal schedule and I am flexible with coming up with set schedules and routines to properly care for animals before, between, and after classes! I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.
“Amber was fantastic with my pup, Kimber!!! Definitely would recommend! She sent pics and video and i knew my baby was being well taken care of. Thank you again so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 She stayed at our house while we were away and took absolutely amazing care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable in their own home and getting so much attention. She sent tons of photos and updates, which we loved seeing while we were gone. Our dogs got plenty of playtime every day, especially their favorite game of chuckit multiple times a day! You could tell they were happy, exercised, and well cared for the whole time. Our house was also in great shape when we got back, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶”
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.
“Mckinnley was very communicative and responsive. She went out of her way to make my shy dogs comfortable including getting one to eat who is normally very nervous around strangers.”
“Jessica was so nice and patient with Greta who was very anxious because we had just moved and had to leave for a night. She was able to give her medicine too. Loved getting the photos and updates.”
“Joseph did an amazing job! We came home to a very happy and healthy pup. He sent a couple of updates daily, and our dog looked very happy and content in each one. The house was incredibly clean and my plants were all alive. I would not hesitate to hire Joseph again. I highly recommend him!”
“I had Bryce take care of my two dogs for a 5 days and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Their communication was impeccable, providing regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. I got updated when one of my dogs got her medications daily. They went on many walks and I felt confident my dogs were in the best care! Not only did they meet the basic needs of my dogs, but they also went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care services.”
About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
About: I provide attentive, Active & Reliable pet care. have owned dogs for the last 15 years, and have two active dogs of my own. I have cared for colleagues and friends' dogs, with experience caring for senior dogs and training puppies. I have flexible hours in my full time job and work from home 2-3 days per week. I love to be active so any excuse for an extra walk is welcome ;) Drop in visits and dog walking are preferred but I can provide house sitting or boarding with advanced notice. I am attentive and active, and love a detailed care list to follow!
“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.”
“Dana and her partner were great with Angus and it was nice to have that extra coverage. They left the place just as I had left it and even picked up dog poop, which I think is very nice. There were 2 things that stuck me as odd closer to the booking when there were some scheduling things brought up, since they work together they were able to make sure my dog got his meds. I would also have liked to be asked if they could make a duplicate key first or I could have given them one. Overall I would hire them again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and large animals like horses for many years both personally and in professional setting. I love working with animals and even have a degree in animal behavior. I am a full time graduate student in Animal Sciences at CSU. I have flexible daytime availability and am available evenings and weekends as well. I can be available for overnight stays as well. I have an 8 year old dog at home! I can care for pets who are friendly to dogs in my home, but all others in yours! I really enjoy taking dogs on walks both my own and others.
“Kayley was great once again! She took amazing care of our pets and goes above and beyond to make sure she understands their schedules and needs and reassured us throughout the trip. She came in helpful last min when our other sitter had a family emergency and canceled the day before, and Kayley was able to accommodate an extra 2-3 days to help us. We will always continue to use her!”
“Coral took very good care of Cookie. Coral gave us daily updates and even gave us an overall update. Coral was communicative and paid close attention to detailed requests. She took care of our place like it was her own and when we got back it was the same as when we left.”
About: Pets are not just animals, they’re part of the family! Whenever I take care of an animal, I like to see myself in their… paws. I think to myself how I’d want to be treated, and make sure they get the best treatment possible. All through my life I have taken care of all of my pets from fish, to cats and dogs, and even moths and butterflies! Back home in Minnesota, I used to take care of two cats, Lucky and Gnocchi, which Gnocchi is now in the loving care of my grandparents, and Lucky has been watching from above for more than a few years now. I later took care of my cat, Foxy, who has since joined Lucky and both are watching my progress from above. Now, my dog Bailey is at home with two kittens, Ava and Johnny, who are currently being cared for by my mom. I miss my fluffy friends back home, and would love to make some new ones around the area! I currently have a part-time job at Raising Cane’s in Loveland, and I’m trying my best to keep my Rover schedule updated with my work schedule. I’m free for care all week, save for the hours I am at work, but I am always willing to drop in or stay over should the situation call for it. I’m willing to house-sit full-time, but I will need at least two weeks of notice in order to take the correct days off of work. Safety has always been my number one priority no matter what job I have been given. Risks and shortcuts are something I barely even know how to do, and instructions on what the owners want the sitter to do with their pets are the only thing that will be followed (along with basic common sense of course). I am readily available to read your pet’s emotions and figure out their needs from only a few little body language changes, and I will always give them the love and care that they deserve.
About: I have had cats, dogs and rodents since I was able to walk. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I currently have two cats, two rats and a leopard gecko. I am currently a student and I have plenty of time on my hands to take great care of any pet that you need! I attend school for a few hours a day and am free most of the time! I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment

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 July 2026, there are 1,465 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
