“Our dogs love Dillon and we do too! It’s so reassuring to leave our house and beloved pets in his car when we’re gone. The house looks great when return and the animals are happy and contended thank you, Dillon.”
“Rover Review We had a great experience with our sitter! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and when we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The house was also left clean and in great shape, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to the dogs while she was there and gave us updates without overwhelming us with constant messages, which made being away much less stressful. We really appreciated being able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in good hands. We would definitely have her stay with them again!”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Raquel stayed with our pets for two weeks, and she was excellent. First, I loved how quickly she responded to our request and that she scheduled a meet and greet right away. Raquel was on time for the meeting and took notes while I showed her around. Secondly, I liked that she asked lots of questions and was very comfortable with the dogs/cat. She sent lots of pictures while we gone as well, which made me very happy. Lastly, when we got home, our house was spotless. Raquel also checked with us about our flight to make sure there were no delays or anything. I would highly recommend Raquel to anyone needing pet care.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Once again, very happy with Brodi's regular updates/pictures. Checked with us ahead the engagement and wrapped up with us at the end. House was left spotless! We will be sure to book with Brodi in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with six dogs total, five cats, three hamsters and two fish , each animal has my heart. I have always loved meeting my family, friends and neighbors cats, fishes, dogs, and more. I am currently in full time school majoring in education. I dedicate my weekends and nights, occasionally other weekday hours to taking care of your sweet animals. I make sure to have access to pets food and water, and ensure the pets routine stays the same. I make sure every dog feels loved, by going on walks or out in back yards to play. I love to play red dot, mouse or box games with cats. I make sure smaller animals are safe and where they are allowed to be regarding safety.
“We could not be happier with Jessica. She was outstanding. It was obvious our puppies loved her so much. She also went above and beyond checking to see if she needed to water anything and also folded some laundry I had sitting out which we certainly did not expect. We will definitely use her again and again. We know our dogs were well taken care of by how happy they were when we got home.”
“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.”

She went above and beyond.! Would recommend her to anyone, il be using her more often. Not to mention punctuation as well as communication were on point! Thanks tiff🙌”
“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! ❤️”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
“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!”

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.

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.
