“Shayna was great. We had a lot happening while we were away and it was good to know Shayna had it all covered. Our two dogs are always well cared for and our house is neat and tidy when we return.”

“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!”

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.
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.
About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have ecpericance watching all different kinds of pups, I've worked with different ages, sizes, breeds, abilities, and needs. I have had practice admistering medication at feeding times, as well as watching up to 4 medium dogs at a time. I am a flexable college student that attends CSU, each of my days look a little different, although I can gaurentee the availibility to check up on your dog at least once every 3.5-4 hours! I can watch them for long or short periods of time, whatever works for you and the puppy! I care for my clients pets as I would care for my own. I work around the schedule that they are used to, aswell as keep up with their physical needs. I care for pets in a loving manner and with as much attention as possible
About: I am just getting started here but my sister has found a lot of work on this app and I’m jealous of all the time she is spending with adorable fur babies! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs and cats, so I’m happy to feed, walk, cuddle, and watch over your pets as needed! Just moved into my first apartment and have a (teenage) kitten. I am mainly free in the evenings with more open flexibility on weekends! Until then, it’s just my 6 month old kitten I’m looking out for! I’m very flexible and willing to take on whatever the normal routine is in the client’s home! On top of providing plenty of attention and love, I will feed, walk, and take your pets for potty breaks as needed. Any other specific needs you have, just let me know!
“We had such a great experience with Susan while she watched Bodhi and Chloe! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and it was clear Bodhi and Chloe were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely book Susan again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”

“Autumn was great with our 3 (somewhat sensitive ;) pups). Great communication throughout her visit. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone trustworthy to look after your pets. Thanks Autumn!”

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.
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”

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. :)

“Nicole was excellent for housesitting and watching our dog while we were away. She is extremely friendly and caring. She made it easy for pre-booking meet and greet, provided plenty of lovely updates, and made us feel very comfortable being away. We hope our dog gets to spend more time with her again soon.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Skylar was great with my dogs! We have 7 and they aren’t the easiest to deal with but she handled them like a pro! We have medical and behavior “special needs “ pups . The dogs were well taken care of and looked great when we got home . She was even able to win over my not so friendly pit/rot mix that hates everyone. Very communicative and sent tons of pics. We will definitely hire her again ( if she’ll accepts, once may have been enough for her )”

About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and have grown up with family pets since I was young. Through years of daily pet care, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, routines, giving attention, and recognizing when pets need extra care or patience. I’m dependable, organized, and take responsibility seriously. As a recent high school graduate preparing to study abroad this fall, I’m looking to help local families by providing attentive and reliable pet care throughout the summer. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve grown up helping care for our family dog for many years. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure pets receive attention throughout the day. This summer I have a flexible schedule outside of my part-time work, which allows me to provide dependable care and communicate consistently with pet owners. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks and quality time with pets fit well into my routine. I understand how important consistency is for animals and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal schedule and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, bathroom breaks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any house rules. I also make sure owners receive updates and photos so they feel connected while away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, calm environment with supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, water access, and lots of attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level and adjust activities to what helps them feel relaxed. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, respected, and confident in my care.

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.
