“Lillian did an awesome job watching Scarlett over the weekend. Scarlett can be pretty anxious and high energy, so I’m always a little cautious leaving her with someone new, but she took to Lillian right away, which says a lot. Lillian was very responsive the entire time and clearly put in the effort to work with Scarlett, not just watch her. That meant a lot to me knowing she was in good hands while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future.”
“Brad was excellent! He sent photos everyday. The house looks the same as we left it, maybe even better. He handled giving my dog oral medications well. He also helped coordinate a dog door installation which was unexpected. I would highly recommend Brad for your house sitting needs as the dogs were well cared for and safe.”
“Shanae was super communicative and sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our three dogs. When we returned, the house was clean and the dogs were calm with no accidents inside despite our arrival time being delayed by two hours. She treated them like her own and I couldn't ask for better.”
“Aleigha was great! My dog is a nervous one but Aleigha was so patient and kind with her. She was also very communicative too which I appreciated a lot. Would definitely request her again!:)”
“Tommy was amazing from our initial meet and greet through his entire stay with our dog, Wally. You can immediately tell Tommy genuinely loves dogs and will treat yours like his own. It was our first experience leaving our dog with anyone other than family. It was so nice not worrying one bit about Wally being in good hands. Tommy communicated with us regularly, even helped with a few things around the house while we were away and when we returned, you could hardly tell he had been here. Everything was tidy and neat. We highly recommend Tommy and plan to have him watch Wally again in the future.”
“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“I have not left one of my pups to travel in over a year. She had her gall bladder removed June 2025 and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, so I was scared to leave her, but I had a wedding in Charleston to go to, so I contacted Nikki. She came over and met the girls and I liked her a lot. She was on time the day I was leaving. She left the house just like she found it. She texted me frequesnt updates and pictures. She made my short trip to Charlestion much less stressful. I will definiotely reach out to Nikki the next time I need someone to stay at my house with the pups.”
“We cannot say enough amazing things about our pet sitter! She watched our two cats and our black lab while we were away for the weekend, and truly treated them like they were her own. She went above and beyond in every possible way—doing things she didn’t even have to—just because she genuinely cares. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, sending updates and keeping us totally at ease. Our animals absolutely adored her, and it showed! We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. If you’re looking for someone who will love your animals just as much as you do, she’s the one. Highly, highly recommend”
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.
“Taylor was fantastic! Our flight schedule changed last minute and she was able to come a day early to sit our 2 dogs for the week. She’s very responsive and sent updates and pics regularly while we were away. When we returned, our pups were happy and the house was in great shape. We’ll definitely use her services again!”
“My two dogs were well cared for when I was on a 10 day adventure! They were happy and content and I felt so relived to know they were in such good care. Thank you!”

“My dogs were well taken care of and happy when I returned home. Lia followed all instructions and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would definitely book again.”
About: I have been taking care and looking after animals since I was 10. My family had several dogs, cats, and even reptiles at all points in additional to several friends here in Charlotte. 📸Instagram: buckrover I work in a remote setting for a tech company and make my own schedule. I’m very flexible in my hours and can also work from anywhere. I care with both ease and detail in how the said animal is to be taken care of according to their owners specifications and request.
“Abbey is fan-freaking-tastic! We came home to happy and well taken care of ladies. Abbey sent us such great pictures of our girls and took wonderful care of our home. She went above and beyond with help around the house and the handwritten note was just *chef’s kiss* Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!!”
“Christine took wonderful care of my dogs and was extremely communicative and responsive throughout her stay. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Gracie was great! We have a dog that gets medicine multiple times a day and has reactivity issues- it was no problem for Gracie. She kept us informed and let us know when she would be gone longer than expected up front. We did not worry about our dogs at all while we were gone and they both seemed happy and well taken care of when we got back. Our home was left in good shape as well, which was much appreciated. We will definitely use Gracie again.”
“Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs. They can be a bit intimidating when you first meet them but she did very well introducing herself to them. They had a great time with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone that needs a sitter.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Lucia is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $77 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Lucia 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 Lucia 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 Lucia 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.
