“10/10 would recommend. Brendan was consistently checking in and communicating with me during his stay at my home for the holidays. He also prioritized my pups and was basically at my house the whole time which is amazing for one of my dogs separation anxiety. He also left my home very clean and even put the sheets in the washer for me! Feeling very thankful I found someone my dogs are comfortable with and takes great care of my home. Thank you Brendan!”
“Ranekqwa was great! One of our pups had some tummy troubles due to meds while we were gone and she consistently communicated with us to keep our minds at ease about how he was doing. House and pool looked good when we got home. Will definitely rebook!”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Victory is wonderful! I’m always at ease knowing Victory’s at the house and love seeing all the great pictures of our dog and cats looking so happy. Victory is super responsible and responsive. Definitely recommend!”
“Alyssa provided wonderful peace of mind caring for our shy dog while our family was on vacation. She was communicative and patient with our dog who is nervous when we’re gone. Our dog was in good hands and I would recommend Alyssa to others!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing! Our dog can be a handful since he has severe anxiety and he was great with him! He sent us pictures and updates! I knew my fur baby was getting lots of love when we were away and that made my heart so happy! I 100% recommend him!”
“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.”
“Jenna watched our dog and two cats 3/5-8. We have previously used Jenna for house sitting as well as drop in visits. Jenna is very good with our pets. She is responsive and provided daily updates with pictures. Highly recommend Jenna for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jessie was fantastic! She took fantastic care of our pups and updated us with the cutest pictures. Peace of mind having her here while we were out of town. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!! :)”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“Megan was wonderful with her communication and doggy updates. Our GSP can be difficult with his temperament, she made sure he had enough exercise and love while we were away. Megan would send daily updates and let us know how the dogs were doing. We are looking forward to using her again.”
About: I have adopted many animals since I was 13 years old and they all have been loved and cared for in the best way possible. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies, cats, rabbits, and some aquatic animals in tanks. I will love every animal like my own and make sure that your furry friend is happy and healthy. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet into my schedule and adapt to your schedule as needed! I have been responsible for training puppies and working with week old kittens, so I can take on any task in your home that is needed. I will always ensure your pet is safe and taken care of the way that you need.
“Kayla took wonderful care of our kitties! We came home to a clean house and the cats seemed very happy. I appreciated her timely communication and flexibility! She happily followed all of the instructions and sent me daily updates which I was very happy about. She is welcome back anytime. I highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful to have found Sara! She went above and beyond to make sure our nervous Aussie was comfortable, exercised, and well-loved while we were out of town. The communication was fantastic, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I've always had a love for all sorts of animals. My favorite animals are dogs & horses. I've had multiple dogs throughout my child/adult life. Being around pet's/other animals makes me very happy; and I cant wait to be welcomed in yours & your pet's life! I am currently working a part-time night shift job so on my off days I am completely free to walk pet's and or pet sit. I currently have no pet's of my own. But if I did I would have a fenced yard that is spacious for my pet to play & enjoy the outdoors. I'd take all the proper steps in owning a pet so the environment would be pet friendly. For my clients I will go by what they want me to do to care for their pet. Along with that I will use my own knowledge for caring for animals.
About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
“Karleen has been an amazing dog sitter. We trusted her completely to look after our dog and home when we were away. Communication was excellent throughout and her caring manner could be seen through the regular photos she provided - our dog clearly enjoyed her company. At very short notice she was able to extend the stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
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.
“This was a super last minute booking as my original plan feel through the morning we were leaving. We were super grateful to have someone willing to take care of our cats with no time to plan whatsoever. Everything went smoothly and great communication all weekend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lucia is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $77 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 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.
