“Gianna was a wonderful sitter for my babies! She paid attention to detail and left everything neat and tidy. Very easy to get ahold of and a great communicator. When I got back, all my pets were happy and calm which says a lot about how they were taken care of while I away. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was prompt with her responses and kept us up to date on all the happenings while house sitting with our 2 dogs and 3 cats so that we could go away for the weekend without worrying about them. House was in good order when we returned and pups were chill and content. Much appreciated!”
About: I've cared for animals since I was a little girl. Taking in unwanted litters, and finally when I was 16 I began working at a doggy daycare. I now run my own doggy care center, own 3 dogs myself, and work closely with fosters and rescues in the area. My schedule is very accommodating as I am willing to go out of my way to ensure your pets are cared for. I have a flexible job, and a home that is equipped to care for animals! I love making report cards to track their eating, behavior, and fun stuff we did/learned while in my care! I also work for a dog treat company, and provide organic dog treats!
“Nicole is truly one in a million! From her sweet demeanor to her love of animals-we were immediately comfortable leaving our precious (and VERY spoiled) pups with her. We received messages twice daily with pictures and we loved it because we have a very senior golden we were apprehensive about leaving. Nicole made sure he got his meds and our dogs absolutely LOVE her! Nicole is amazing!”
About: It's been my honor to have fostered and rescued many dogs and cats over the years. Depending on the season, I can board dogs at my comfy house with a large fenced yard to explore, lots of grass for playing, and a safe suburban neighborhood for walks. I value new places and experiences so I enjoy hanging out with critters in their own home environment too, so I do pet sitting throughout the states and abroad! I’ll keep your pets, plants, and your home safe, clean, and pampered! I serve just one dog family at a time, so I can give lots of one-on-one attention. Additional fees may apply for special services. We ask that our visiting pups be friendly and housebroken; up to 30 pounds. Larger dogs may be an option depending on temperament, training, and availability. Happily, I don't have typical work commitments. I can go wherever and whenever! I recently left a teaching career and it's nice to live without a set schedule! I have a reliable car so I can be there when you need me! I like to follow you and your pet's routine. I'll make sure they feel safe, have fun, and get lots of love and attention. Whenever possible we want to use their familiar blanket, bed, or crate. I'm a responsible homeowner myself so I know how to care of your home, your yard, or anything else that comes up!
“Linsey did an amazing job! I just got a puppy and had to leave the home for a day and was very concerned about the pup being stressed. Linsey came and sat the pup at my home so the pup would be comfortable- but I was still worried. I got updates during the day, and when I got home Linsey was my dogs new best friend! She didn’t want her to leave! Excellent care, very nice, and will definitely be using her going forward. I highly recommend Linsey :)”
About: Hello! I am Woody’s Owner ( 2 yo, m, Aussie, 55 lbs) and you got a friend in me! I am communicative, positive, and flexible with your needs. I am high energy, loving, and helpful. Here’s a little about my pet experience: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was fifteen years old. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, trail walks, and simply crocheting at home with the tv on. I like to watch the next Netflix drama hit, obviously. I have activities to do with high energy dogs and even low energy ones. See you’ve got a friend in me. I’ve got you through the highs and lows. I have open availability most of the week. I am open to any routines owners would like me to continue for their pets. This can be related to food, exercise, medication, and so on. My dog is kennel trained, so he can be separated from any other dogs I’m sitting if the dog I am sitting is not socialized. However, my dog is socialized and will be happy to have a playmate. I can take your pet out as often as you require and I can transport dogs to the dog park if that is okay. I also have extra feeding and water bowls, as well as toys and treats for any dog I am sitting. I also have a fenced yard.

“Erica was awesome, she was very responsive and incredibly accommodating. Our animals immediately took a liking to her and we were very comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a week while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our French Bulldog, Tomas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in his own environment with someone who truly cared for him. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all of Tomas’s routine and instructions, and treated our home with respect. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was just as clean as when we left. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and Tomas was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! When you trust someone with your pets, you're trusting them with a member of your family, and that's a responsibility I take seriously. I'm an experienced pet care provider with a growing clientele and hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic Bull Terriers and gentle giants like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees to shy, nervous, and reactive dogs, I've learned that successful pet care isn't one-size-fits-all. What sets me apart? I'm not someone who simply shows up, completes a service, and leaves. I pay attention to the little things: your pet's body language, energy levels, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. I believe in building trust with every animal in my care, especially those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I'm confident handling strong, energetic dogs and understand the importance of leash safety, environmental awareness, and recognizing potential triggers during walks. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. My experience doesn't stop with dogs! I've grown up surrounded by animals and currently care for my own dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. I'm comfortable with multi-pet households and understand that different species require different routines, handling, and attention. Your home and your peace of mind matter, too. Alongside pet care, I have approximately 10 years of professional cleaning experience working inside clients' homes. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your space, and trustworthy when you're not there. When you book with me, you can expect: - Attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet - Regular photo updates and honest communication - Patience with shy, nervous, or high-energy animals - Respect for your pet's established routines - A dependable professional who genuinely enjoys what she does My goal isn't just to provide a service. It's to become someone you and your pets look forward to seeing again. Whether you need a reliable dog walker, someone to check in on your pets, or a trusted sitter while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to earn your trust. Your pets deserve more than basic care. They deserve someone who pays attention, understands their needs, and treats them like family. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule to help with yours and your pets needs,most of the weekends im available as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send regular photo updates for peace of mind.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lucerne Valley is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $67 per night.

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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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.
