About: Hello! My name is Elyssa. I have three dogs of my own, Kodi, a cattle dog, Kira, a husky, and Oakley, another husky! With me having a very active lifestyle, my dogs also do too! I’m a serious athlete/runner, so every animal I care for are guaranteed adequate exercise! I provide the best personal care and treat all as if they were my own. I understand anxiety when leaving pets home alone, so I only hope/serve to provide comfort for the pet and owner with feeding, potty breaks and lots of play time and walks! With being a photographer as well, you are sure to get A TON of updates and photos of your loved one :D I care for animals of all sizes and ages, any temperament too! Your pets are sure to be well cared for and comfortable:)
About: I've worked in the animal care industry for the past 3 years, first as an animal care technician at a no-kill shelter, then as a dog walker in Atlanta and finally at a doggy daycare just outside Atlanta. I have experience with all breeds and temperaments of dogs, and cats, and have experience with administering medications. I treat each and every animal that comes under my care like I would want my own babies to be treated. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm free from 12:30 until 6. On Fridays and Mondays, I am free anytime after 2, and on weekends anytime after 3 I'm not set up to do in-home boarding at the moment, though I will be by the end of the year. For now, I can provide care for your pup or cat in the comfort of their own home.
“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.”
“Joseph has been such a valued sitter and walker for our two dogs. He takes excellent care of the pups and our home and has stellar communication with us. We trust our pups wholeheartedly under Joseph’s care.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Asjah as our sitter! She took amazing care of our 11-week-old puppy while we were away on vacation, and we felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such caring hands. 🐶🤍 She kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip, which we really appreciated and always looked forward to. We especially loved how attentive she was, always making sure our puppy was comfortable and well cared for before calling it a day. She truly went above and beyond, even cleaning up around the house, which we absolutely did not expect or ask her to do! It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much care she puts into what she does. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and a clean home. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her to watch our puppy again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful sitter! ❤️”
“Mallie was excellent! Our pup LOVED her and was so well cared for while we were away. She sent daily updates, lots of photos, and left our house spotless. We 100% recommend her!”
“She did amazing! I’ve had horrible experiences from Rover. I haven’t been impressed with quality of sitters. She did amazing and I didn’t have to worry one bit. We will be using her again ? we have a boxer and American bully”
About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs since I was 13. My families and friends have relied on me to take good care of their dogs. I also have been working with a doggy daycare for the past 2 years. I currently don't have a job and I'm only busy with school. I have a lot of time on the weekends and later in the day to be able to take care of your dogs. I will do whatever it is I'm allowed to do with your dog in your house. I will not put your dog in a crate while I'm there unless if they need to be.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a young child. I would often take care of my family and neighbors animals. This included feeding and walking the dogs or taken them home and watching them overnight I'm free all days of the week for drop ins and dog walking. I also am open too house sitting but please try to let me know ahead of time. I make sure to always have food and water for the pets in the home and I make sure to do 30 minute walks unless the advised to do shorter or longer walks. I also make sure to check back in on the pets every hour or two.
“Emily was wonderful! Our dog has lots of little quirks and can require lots of energy from a dog sitter. Emily did great with him. We’re so grateful to have found someone that can cater to his needs and stay in our home. Would absolutely recommend Emily!”
About: I have always loved taking care of animals since I was young- from dogs, cats, chickens, and fish I have always been surrounded by animals. I have a particular interest in animal behavior and training- I always want to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed when they are in my care. Before moving to Boston, I attended Colorado State University seeking my degree in veterinary medicine- the classes I attended focused on animal behavior, animal environment, and specifically handling large animals such as cattle. During my time there, I acquired my IACUC training for animal handling (can provide if needed, however it technically expired last year) and successfully performed medication administration, vaccine/medication injections, bovine castration, proper animal handling, and more. Unfortunately due to a family emergency I could not finish my degree, however I am looking to complete my animal training certification, as I still love working with animals! While I, myself, do not currently have any pets, my roommate has a cat that I help care for- his name is Boog and he's incredibly cute! I currently work part time Saturday-Monday mornings- after 3pm I am completely free! If your pets can be left alone for about 8-9 hours (travel time depending), I can house sit on these days while working. The rest of the week, I spend time on my hobbies and doing research on animal behavior, meaning I will have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pet may desire. I like to set up a trial run before any official appointment just to make sure your animal is comfortable with me and vice versa! This gives a great time where your animal has a familiar person (you!) to reassure them that I (a stranger) am no threat, as well as going over care instructions, any medical concerns, and your typical routine for your pet(s).
“Allison stayed with my dogs for a few days and showed them so much love and attention. She kept me informed with updates while I was away, which meant a lot to me. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and my dogs seemed very comfortable with her.”
About: I have experience caring for adult and senior dogs with special needs, including giving nighttime medication, following their routines, and monitoring them closely to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also an animal technician, which has given me hands on experience caring for animals, observing their behavior, and supporting their health and well being. I’m trustworthy, patient, and passionate about animals. I’ve also recently gotten my first cat, so I’m learning more every day about cats, including their behavior, needs and routines. P.S. I’ve worked with dogs my entire life! :) I currently work full time at an animal shelter. My availability on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays will be after 4:30 p.m., and on Wednesdays and Thursdays would be after 6:00 p.m. I am also available all day on Mondays and Sundays. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe, secure space for pets to play and get fresh air. My home is clean, comfortable, and pet friendly, with a calm environment. I also have one cat who usually prefers to stay in my room, but I can keep pets separated if needed to help them feel comfortable and ensure everyone’s safety. I’m committed to providing supervision, following each pet’s routine and care instructions, and creating a trustworthy environment where pets feel safe and at ease. :)
About: I love animals of all kinds. I've had dogs and frogs and I'd love to take care of any critter. There is a special place in my heart for seniors and special needs. I grew up with 2 black labs and helped tend to their various health conditions as well as their needs when they got older. I had my own dog (85 lb black lab) for 14 1/2 years and he had an array of issues over the years - Parvo, 2 hip surgeries, and so much more. His back legs stopped working the last 3 1/2 years of his life so I was his full-time caretaker. Getting him up and down, constantly cleaning up potty and poo accidents, switching out pads and keeping him clean. But most important was to keep him stimulated, happy, and help him live his best life with the new normal he was dealt. I have extensive experience with caring for dogs that need special attention, have given meds, injections, expressed bladder, and more. I currently work outside of the home Monday - Friday 8-5. I can be home at lunch time for 30 minutes each of those days to play and give snuggles. Weekends are hit-and-miss for availability. Your pet would be free to roam my home unless you'd prefer they be more contained. I have a large backyard with a 4ft chain link fence. If your dog is a jumper or dog aggressive I'll keep them on a leash when we go outback. We will walk and run around to make sure they still get plenty of outside time. I'm happy to follow your every instruction and of course give lots of lovies.
“Mallory did a great job taking care of our dog and house for four nights. We got updates and pics that made us comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
About: Hi! I’m Brandy, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I absolutely love dogs and truly believe they deserve the same love, patience, and attention as any member of the family. ❤️ I’m a caring, responsible, and trustworthy person who will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, lots of playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need plenty of exercise to older dogs who prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing! 🐾❤️ I’m available for walks in the evenings Monday-Friday or anytime on the weekends, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I enjoy spending quality time with the pets I care for, so they’re not just getting a quick visit, they’re getting plenty of attention, love, and companionship. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I’m attentive and responsible, and I never want a pet to feel lonely or overlooked. I’ll give them plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll also send you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,435 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
