About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
“We had such peace of mind with Jessica staying w/ our pups while we were out of town. She sent videos/pictures every day and let us know how things were going. We will definitely have her back!!!”

“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.”

“Daiana was very professional, kind, and accommodating. She took great care of our pets, sent us lots of updates and photos, and both our cat and dog loved her. I would use her again and would recommend her to anyone I know.”


“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! ❤️”

“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.”

“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.”

“Tiffany was amazing! She definitely knows what she's doing! My puppy king was being nervous an she figured out a way to get him to not only be calm but relax during there time together! 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🙌”

“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 been taking care of animals since I was a child: my own, neighbor's, friend's, family's and friend of friend's. I also interned for the nonprofit Pets Forever, where we took care of senior citizen's beloved pets. It was such an amazing and rewarding experience. I can happily tend to all responsibilities needed for your pet's care, including, but not limited to: walking, sitting, feeding, brushing, bathing, clean up, some light training, playing, and lots of cuddles! Animals bring so much joy and they deserve the best care in return! (I started on Rover a few years ago, but due to a high demanding job, I ended up not being able to do as much as I wanted. I'm hoping to have a lot more opportunities this time around to meet many adorable animal friends!) My schedule may be changing due to work, but I will always make sure to prioritize your fur baby! I am available any day of the week, though the timing may vary due to my work schedule. Just let me know the timetable you are looking for and we can workout the best schedule for you and your pet(s)! I will be extremely respectful of your home and of the environment you prefer for your animals! Whether you need me to crate them at certain times, give them free reign, or keep a close watch on them -- let me know what works best for you and your furry friends, and I will make sure it's done! For their safety and the safety of your home.
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. :)
“Chris was wonderful. She responded quickly to our initial request and was very easy to communicate with. She gave us confidence that she would be a good match for our dog who can be a bit timid at times. Chris stayed in our home and we felt very confident having her stay over. Would highly recommend Chris.”

“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.”

“Jamie is super kind, flexible and very dependable. Our dogs are well taken care of and super happy. It’s very comforting to know we don’t have to worry about our pets and our home.”

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.
“Kylee is great! I am an anxious owner with anxious dogs and she worked well with all of us. Leading up to my trip, Kylee came by once a week for drop-ins to help me and the dogs feel comfortable. During my trip, she took wonderful care of both my dogs and my house. She responds in a timely manner and kept me up to date with how things were going. My dogs go on a hunger strike when I leave, so she did a great job figuring out the best way to get them to eat while I was away. I came home to a clean house and a freshly made bed with clean bedding which was amazing after 17 hours on the road. I will absolutely hire Kylee again to look after my pups.”


About: I grew up caring for dogs of all ages, including young puppies, as my mom was a dog breeder and actively involved in dog shows. I helped with many aspects of raising and caring for dogs, giving me hands-on experience with their daily needs, routines, and different personalities. Through my own experience and helping family, friends, and others, I’ve developed a genuine love for animals and understand the importance of providing patient, attentive, and reliable care. I’m comfortable around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently transitioning between careers, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m happy to work with your schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or boarding, including weekdays and weekends. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I can crate dogs if needed and will always prioritize their safety, routines, and individual needs. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I also understand that some dogs need extra time and patience to warm up to new people or environments.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucerne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,449 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.
