“Lyla did a great job getting to know our timid pup in the short time she was here. Our dog was happy when we got home and the house was in good order. Lyla also has been very prompt and helpful in all of her communications with us, during booking and throughout her stay. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Paul Johnson. He is courteous, thorough, conscientious, and provided us with regular updates on how the pups were doing while we were away. We feel very comfortable with leaving Paul in the care of our doggos in the future.”
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have two dogs of my own and owned a horse ranch for the last 20 years. I now live in a new neighborhood, with a fully fenced yard. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raised Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.
“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!”
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
About: I have had dogs for 40 years. I have cared for them from being puppies to 17 years of age. We treat all pets with love and kindness. my Cocker Spaniel, Winni, is loved and cared for and given daily walks. I always feel she has me trained. She is always nice to other animals, even when she sees a bunny in our yard she just wants to look at it instead of chasing it. lol I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I can give medication and take for a daily walk. I always feel animals need more than watching, they need cuddles and affection and someone to talk to them
About: I recently moved here from Birmingham, Alabama and pet sat for a decade and I want to continue to connect with new families and their little floofs here in the pnw! I have worked with all ages of cats and dogs. I’ve also taken care of fish, hamsters and even bees on occasions. In the past I have had the same eight families I have looked after and met other pet families through them over time too. I have a fully free schedule since I just moved here and searching for a part time job. In the past I have been in school, worked at restaurants, and consistently pet sat as a combined full time because looking after little ones is a part of my daily routine that I cherish and wish to continue. So I am excited and able to be with your little ones as much as needed. I want the pet(s) to be relaxed and comfortable in their own homes when looking after them in order to not disrupt their regular routine too much. I prefer to meet the family and little one(s) before caring for the animal(s) before overnight sitting or for just drops ins. This way I can be well aquatinted with everyone and bring sense of calm into everyone’s daily routines from the start. This way, I can also learn in person their exact routines, any medication’s if applicable, any quirky things the pets might request in their routines, ie I once had an elderly dog thatI looked after that wanted his dinner “ heated up” in the microwave. So I would make “beeping’ nosies and pretend that his food was fancy like a humans. The family and I found it as a cute and an easy way to make him feel happy and eager to eat. The quirky the better is what I have always looked forward to when bonding with the little ones. For a meet and greet, if the family and animal(s) are ok with more of a “come on in” policy where there’s not a meet and greet first, particularly for drop ins, I’m more than happy to use with this method as well. For dogs in particular, I want to make sure that I keep up with their exercise routines with any amount of walks requested. If the family and floof(s) are more adventurous, I would happily like to take them on hikes, if it is wished to be incorporated into their routines.
“Rachel took such great care of our dog and two cats! One of our cats even has asthma and she did not shy away from administering his inhaler. She stayed at our house the week of Christmas and made sure to give us updates and also took great care of the house! Super sweet and thoughtful. Will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you, Rachel!”
“We had to go out of town on short notice, and we were so happy that Brandon was available to stay with our dog and cat. This is the second time he’s taken care of them. Brandon is really good with our pets and they really like him. He’s conscientious, considerate and kind. Thank you Brandon!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and had pets of my own for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 8 month pup she’s super sweet and gets along great with other dogs . I work from home and set my own schedule so I have the ability to take pets on frequent walks and follow any eating schedules or medication distribution. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, I have many opportunities to take breaks for walks or runs. Or even take them to the park I follow any special instructions that have been provided, other than that I just play with them, cuddle and feed them my neighborhood is safe
“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!”
About: I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I'm a full-time professional housesitter! That means that I am very flexible to accommodate your pet's usual routine. I work in data annotation, and it's all on my laptop. My work schedule is incredibly flexible. This means I can set up anywhere with wifi, and we'll be good to go! I have pretty extensive gardening knowledge, having taken a large chunk of the WSU home horticulture and master gardener's training program. I've grown a lot of different vegetables and berries, and I can care for flowers and ornamentals, too! I love plants and would very much enjoy spending time in your garden, monitoring plant health and giving good morning waterings, etc.
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.
“This was a huge step for me to trust someone with not only my guys but my home. Jenn understood my concerns and made a special trip down for a meet and greet. She sent multiple updates during the day and her pictures showed how relaxed Brady was with her. She left the house spotless, and I had a very happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her, and I look forward to her sitting again when needed.”
About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
“I was super nervous about leaving my fur baby for our first vacation away, but Ally made everything run smooth and worry free. Wrigley just loved her and was so well looked after. She made sure to send plenty of pupdates & pictures to let us know how things were going back at home. She even took him for his first walk with another dog friend. So cute. Leaving your new puppy for the first time is so hard but I was at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Ally if you want your fur babies well loved and looked after. We will be keeping her on speed dial for sure. :)”
“Starla saved our butts when we desperately needed a sitter. My wife and I were travelling out of town, and it just so happened that we had no one available to watch our reactive dog, Momo. We had just moved to the area and were wary of Momo's comfort, but Starla was more than happy to meet Momo and get her comfortable with her. On our trip, Starla sent constant updates, and Momo seemed super at ease and happy with Starla. While we were busy on our trip, it was fantastic knowing Momo was taken care of. We came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thank you again, Starla!”
About: Hi! I’m Kylie, a 22 year old lifelong Vancouver local and animal lover. I’m currently a student at Clark College, and because most of my classes are online, I spend a lot of time at home. I also work as a caregiver for my aunt who I live with and have a small retail job only a couple times a month, so my schedule is very flexible. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to give the animals I care for plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. I grew up on a farm for the first 10 years of my childhood, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, and other animals, and I’ve continued that love into adulthood. I’ve also volunteered with the Humane Society and participated in a cat adoption program called Heart for 2 years. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, and smaller pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even fish At home, I live with my aunt, her 14 year old daughter, my golden retriever Kooper, and our orange cat Mango. Kooper is extremely friendly and loves meeting new dogs, while Mango is more of a relaxed cat who mostly does his own thing. We have a fenced yard for potty breaks and playtime, and I also live next to a gated open field that gives us another great place to get some fresh air and exercise. I do not do meet & greets inside my home, but I’m happy to meet beforehand at a nearby park or another convenient location so we can make sure everyone is comfortable.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lucia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,763 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lucia. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
