“Mckenna did a great job housesitting and taking care of our two dogs for us! Good communication, flexible, prompt and considerate! I will definitely request her services again in the future.”
“So happy that we were able to book with Shanae. She took great care of our pups and communicated fantastically. We'll definitely ask her to help again!”
“Brad did well with both of our dogs from the start. Our bigger dog can be a bit anxious when strangers come into the house and Brad let her sniff him and get used to him before he tried to interact with her. He sent us several pictures throughout the week and when we returned the house was just as we had left it—-or better! We will definitely try to book Brad again when the need arises.”
“Amanda was on time, asked pertinent questions, and sent regular photos while watching our dog. We were very comfortable with her care and will absolutely use her again!!!”
About: I love both cats and dogs. I have bathed several pets and also clipped their nails. I learned how to bottle feed when I first got my cats. I have been able to teach my dogs to sit, lay down, and "do paw" which they will put there paw in my hand. I am enrolled part time in community college and take mostly online classes. I have plenty of time to check on your pets and let them out for potty breaks or playtime/ keeping them company! I promise to do my best to care for your fur babies. I have a big heart for animals and love to help. I am always taking care of my pets at home and assuring they're health and happiness!
“Desiree did a great job taking care of our Zoye for us for the days we wore gone ! She sand us pictures and updates on Zoye! Zoye looks happy and healthy! Desiree did a great job! We are so thankful!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Chase did a great job taking care of our dog & cat for a week. He gave us multiple updates daily and sent photos of the girls. He even took care of watering my outside plants. He was very respectful of our home too! Will definitely use him again!!”
“Isabella did a great job watching my two dogs and taking care of the house. She sent many pictures and videos of my dogs during her stay. My dogs enjoyed their time with her. I have already booked her for my next trip.”
“Christine has been an absolute lifesaver! She's incredibly reliable, and my dog Toto loves her. I'm able to be at work without any worries knowing that Toto is in such good hands. Christine goes above and beyond every time, and I will definitely continue booking her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter!”
“Alyssia was an absolutely fantastic dog and house sitter. She took wonderful care of our dog, Bear, and kept a close eye on our home while we were away. We received thorough daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, communicated clearly from our very first inquiry, and left our home tidy. When we returned, we were surprised with a thoughtful gift—new toys and treats for Bear, along with printed photos she took of him for our family. It was such a kind and personal touch that meant a lot to us. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would absolutely hire her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ranekqwa stayed at our house while we were out of town for a few days and we could not have been more pleased with how she cared for our dogs and our home! She was willing to come meet our dogs twice before the booking to ensure she would be a good fit and was comfortable with them. Above and beyond! She sent pictures, and updates throughout the stay which made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She clearly cares for animals as if they were her own and is a kind, caring, and friendly person. We can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have always possessed a very special connection with all kinds of animals from a young age. I have experience owning and caring for various furry animals & scaley reptiles. I have rescued and rehabiltated sick & injured animals and also found the owners for about a dozen stray animals I found lost along roadways. I am skilled in pet massage and basic training, working with multiple pets and administering pet medications. I currently am a remote worker with a flexible schedule and can work from any location and have time during the day and week to spend time caring for pets. I currently offer visits and care either in your home or I offer pickup and taking your pet to have a safe adventure out in nature.
“Amanda took such good care of Buddy and Cooper. She is very dependable and I could tell the dogs just loved her. She sent pictures and videos every day. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lucia
We had to leave our two Labs, Bella and Molly, for an unexpected trip, and when our regular kennel was unavailable on such short notice, we were lucky to find Autumn on Rover. We couldn't be more pleased with the care she provided. Autumn formed a genuine personal relationship with both of our dogs; she visited three times a day for feedings and gave them plenty of individual attention. We received photos, videos, and detailed updates after every single visit, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun they were having. We can truly see the difference in their happiness having Autumn care for them at home versus a kennel stay. We highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lucia on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,093 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lucia. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
