“Penny did an amazing job at house sitting our dog and two cats!! She provided updates, took our pup on walks and kept our babies happy 😊 our cat also has an inhaler and she was able to handle no problem! Will be reaching out again, thank you Penny!!”
“This is my first experience using a pet sitter. And I could NEVER have asked for more care and kindness. He kept such good care of her. Cleaned my house spotless before he left. Tons of pics and updates!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Roree was amazing! We have an epileptic dog who needs meds twice a day at specific times. Roree was on top of everything! She was with him almost 24/7 and gave him the best of care! She sent lots of photos daily and kept us up to date. Roree also took care of our house and everything was perfect when we returned. Highly recommended!!!”
“I highly recommend Francisca to anyone who is considering engaging pet care with Rover. Francisca was exceptionally considerate with her daily care and communication regarding my fur baby and she took great care of my home! 100% amazing!”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was a baby and have been loving and living with one ever since. A cat saved my life when I was a newborn. You could say that set the tone. I live on 3 fenced acres and have a variable schedule due to my own dogs + taking care of my pre-school nephew PT. M,T,R,F: Our days start early, courtesy of aforementioned preschooler. 6:30am and it’s outside time. Another visit outdoors after the bus has gone around 8am, then playing outside or lazing inside. Another outside break around 11:00a. 12-5pm is when the dogs are kept busy with chew toys and their own company. After 5:30 depends on my fitness calendar/our beloved PNW weather: will we go for a run at the park? A hike? Yard zoomies? Bed time at approximately 10:30 with a potty break just before. Wednesdays and weekends vary, but follow a similar timeline. I give the same care in your home as I do my own in mine. All the playing, sitting and/or affection they or their pet parents ask for.
About: I have three years of professional pet care experience, giving me a deep understanding of how to keep dogs and cats safe, happy, and completely comfortable while their owners are away. Over the years, I have worked with a wide variety of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, which has taught me how to adapt quickly to whatever a pet needs. Whether I am managing precise daily feeding routines, keeping high-energy dogs active and engaged through structured playtime, or providing quiet, gentle companionship for older pets, I approach every interaction by treating them as if they were my own. I always stay attentive to animal body language and behavior so I can catch any subtle shifts in mood or appetite, ensuring they stay content and secure from start to finish. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work part-time right in the heart of Battle Ground and balance it with a flexible college schedule. This setup gives me plenty of open time throughout the week and on weekends to dedicate undivided attention, care, and playtime to pets. Additionally, caring for five of my own cats at home means feline care and daily routines are already second nature to me, allowing me to easily adapt my schedule to meet any pet's specific needs. When caring for pets in either my home or a client home, my approach focuses on creating a secure, calm, and deeply comforting environment tailored to their exact needs. In my own home, we have two wonderful dogs, a beagle hound mix and an Anatolian shepherd, alongside five cats, meaning I am exceptionally experienced in managing multi pet dynamics, diverse temperaments, and varying energy levels. Whether I am caring for high energy kittens, elderly cats requiring medication and specialized feeding routines, or dogs needing a watchful eye, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I stay deeply attentive to their behavior and body language, ensuring they feel completely safe and secure while their owners are away.
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
About: I have tons of experience caring for and working with many different breeds! I have a 12 year old dog myself, healthy as a horse and full of life 😊 I understand dog care very well, and I have all the love to give! I have recently moved to Washington from out of state, and my schedule is quite open right now! This gives me the flexibility to take on pet care responsibilities quickly and easily. At my home I have a large fenced yard (half an acre) and one sweet older dog that plays very well with others! If your dog requires time away from other dogs I can accommodate that as well, and keep them separate. When caring for your fur baby at your home I will follow whatever rules you have there for them, ie crating, walks, playtime in the yard, etc.
“Brandon was wonderful. Pepe, My dog, felt very safe and happy. Pepe suffers from separation anxiety. Brandon left the house very clean just as I left it. I think Brandon enjoyed his stay and we loved having him. Looking forward to our next pet sitting adventure. Brandon is highly recommended.”
About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but have been housesitting regularly since December 2024. I've had the opportunity to pet sit in Australia and throughout New Zealand with dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I have also looked after fish and chickens. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies and kittens to older animals with health issues, including pets with arthritis, heart issues, IBD, and asmtha. I'm very diligent about managing any medication or supplements required. In the past, I've had two dogs as my own pets. One was a miniature schnauzer and the other was a mixed breed rescue. Throughout the years, I've pet sat for friends and family as well. I always love getting to know new animals and enjoy taking care of a home and any plants you may have. :) I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to stay in with your pets and make sure they are cared for and happy. *Currently, I am fully booked for housesitting until the beginning of February. If you are interested in booking for your 2027 travel, feel free to send me a message to schedule a meet and greet. I do also offer dog walking or drop-in visits for other clients from about noon to 2 pm, so this would be a time that I may be away from the house. To ensure a good fit, I offer a 30 minute Meet & Greet prior to booking. All bookings include frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to have your fur babies as my close companions or give them more space if they prefer. My goal is make sure they are safe and comfortable while their family is away.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my dogs and cat sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Added bonus is my house was spotless.i can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again”
About: I've had dogs all of my life, numerous breeds and energy levels. I've personally owned a Golden Retriever and now a Bernese Mountain Dog. I used to run dogs in college and I fell in love with dogs, so I thought why not get exercise with a furry friend by my side! I can work with various leashes/collars/harnesses, etc. I've trained dogs with basic commands and potty training. I would love for your dog to come meet us and our Bernese! I have a Bernese Mountain pup, so between working full time and raising kids, making sure my little not so little pup gets exercise and a lot of sniffing everyday is extremely important and has become a fixture in our schedule. Teddy is fully vaccinated and can provide proof, so no need to worry! I ran and walked dogs in college for 2 years and I loved it. I've had numerous dogs in my life time and I make sure the dog is comfortable and ready to enjoy the time with us! This stay be a dogs most enjoyable time of the day, so making it fun especially with our Berner while getting to the point is crucial. Whatever piece of equipment like leash, harness, collar or piece of walking equipment you prefer for your dog I will work with. Comfortability is huge for pups/dogs. Crate would be preferred if not potty trained. I can let pups out to pee during the night. We want your dogs stay to be the best and would be grateful for your trust in us!
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”
“Samantha was very communicative, sent lots of pictures upon request and took great care of our home while we were away for five nights. We have three dogs which we know can be a handful and Samantha had no problem stepping up, walking them multiple times a day, cleaning them if needed, and left the home in great shape, with her bedding washed and folded. Would recommend. Thank you”
“This is the first time Evelyn has done a sit for me, and I couldn't be more pleased. For 8 days she lived in my home and took care of my rambunctious Doberman. She texted me daily with information about how he was doing, notified me when she had questions or concerns, responded promptly to my texts/calls, provided Maestro with the agreed-upon food and medications, and took good care of my home as well. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life. We had 2 Doberman when I was a baby which led to me always having a dog or cat in my life. I'd love to meet yours! I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I am available for short, elderly walks to long, youthful puppy runs. Ready to talk, feel free to shoot a message over to talk about your needs for your animals :D I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I like to ensure your pet has a clean, safe environment. All hazards will be picked up promptly, as well as any potty spotted in the yard or accidents in the house.
“Amy was quick to respond to our request to watch our puppy Jazzy. She met us the day prior for a meet and greet. Jazzy immediately took to her. Amy is a lovely person and loves animals. She asked us important questions regarding care. The day of she arrived early and already had an idea where to take Jazzy for her walk. We appreciated her checking in our birds as well. As a sitter she went above and beyond for caring for Jazzy and our 2 parakeets. We appreciated her helping us on such short notice. She provided care amazingly, gave us plenty of updates throughout the day with photos, and asked us for any additional direction. We would happily request Amy again to watch Jazzy!”
About: I've taken care of dogs/cats for years. I got my own dog 8 years ago. I love all kinds of animals and live with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am currently in between jobs and actively looking for a job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. Because of this, I can be there anytime you need help with your animals, whether it’s during the day, in the evenings, or even on short notice. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for, safe, and comfortable I haven't had an official client yet but for my pets I make sure they have water and feed them twice a day, once in the morning and once at dinner time. I see if the dogs need to go outside at least once an hour. The dogs get to go on a walks in the day and sometimes dog parks.
About: We are a husband-wife team that both work from home and love dogs and cats. We walk our dog(s) daily for a 3 to 4 mile walk, and shorter routes can be done for dogs that can't go long distance. Happy to house sit your fur baby/babies or just provide breaks for your pup or feed the cat. Our motto is... A tired dog is a good dog! We have flexible schedules. We are comfortable with giving meds if needed. Good with large breeds and light training during walks. Happy to reinforce whatever training / skills you are working on. We sometimes foster dogs, so schedule can be unpredictable at times. We both work from home currently, so have the ability to do drop-in visits morning, afternoon or evening. Soon-to-be retired for one of us, so that will increase availability quite a bit. We are not currently offering boarding in our home due to having a dog-selective large breed at this time. Happy to pet-sit in your home, usually just one of us.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,737 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
