“We are so glad to have found such a great place to board our two dogs. It is comforting to have an actual home environment for them while they are away from us. Thank you for taking such good care of Junebug and Scooter!”
“What can I say? Alex and family were my life savor, I had to travel for a family emergency, and Alex took care of Mia and Mauricio, with so much love and care. Both of them, Mia & Mauricio felt like home, as when they are sad and anxious, they can stop eating for days. But with Alex, they ate, played, had naps, just like home. She was like an angel for me through this rough time. I felt at peace, I will definitely be booking as much as I can🩷🩷🩷”

“Manuel was great. He sent pictures of our Bella and was quick to reply when checked in on her. We ran three hours late due to delays and traffic from our trip and Manuel was kind and accommodating.. will definitely recommend and use them again”
“Our dogs, Lulu and Zumi, had such a good time with Yetta and her sons! We left them over the weekend and I was a little anxious because Lulu takes different medication multiple times a day. Yetta was really good about sending pictures and updates so I felt confident and comfortable with them there. If we ever go out of town again, we will definitely be contacting her again!”

He sent frequent video update and was very thorough with everything. he asked a lot of questions at the meet and greet and was interested in knowing as much as possible about Nola so that she would be comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be using his services again”
“Definitely would recommend Carola, she has so much love for dogs and you can tell she enjoys taking care of them. She treated our 5 month old puppy as it was her own, she kept us updated throughout the boarding with pictures and videos. I can tell that our dog enjoyed spending time with her and playing with his new furry friends.”

About: Cats are my favorite clients! I'm new to the area and have none of my own at the moment (aside from the strays I feed and named outside) so I would love to care for yours! I'm skilled at reading feline body language and have taken in newborns, seniors, and everything in between. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs.
“June (Kyra) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. Every drop-in she did was prompt, and she provided very detailed check-ins with pics and videos of our sweet boy; I know he was in great hands while we were away. Highly recommend and will be booking again when needed!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals growing up, having both dogs and cats. I currently own two of my own cats who have completely different personalities and differ in age. Being around cats of my own and friends cats I can assure owners that I know the ins and outs of caretaking for cats. Safety and wellbeing is my priority so you can be confident in your pets care while you’re away!
“Madison did a great job looking after my cat, Harvey. Before the booking she made sure to ask informed questions about Harvey’s needs to better care for him and during the booking she kept in touch with regular pictures. Harvey seemed to really enjoy her company and I would 100% recommend Madison to anyone looking for house sitting for their pet. She was respectful of my home and most importantly treated Harvey as one of her own.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat and keeping me informed during her stay. Based on the photos she sent, my kitty had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely use again.”

“Hayden was so kind and so communicative. He went above and beyond to help me take care of my kiddos in a last minute, moment of emergency as I’m out of state and was just wonderful!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and began actively helping care for cats and dogs at age 6. I’ve cared for pregnant stray cats and fostered their newborn kittens to young adulthood and beyond. I’ve both raised and helped train dogs from birth as well as caring for elderly pups. I’ve seen animals at all stages of life and cared for them at all stages of life, both cat and dog. I am active and love to walk so if that’s your dog we’ll get along great! I also love relaxing while drinking tea, reading, or gardening, so if your fur baby is a bit on the calmer side or elderly they’ll get plenty of rest, cuddles, and love. I work part-time but I walk/bike daily and have the majority of my days free to walk, play, and love on sweet fur baby’s. I miss having animals in my home and would love to help you with yours! I have a good size fenced-in backyard and am not too worried about little (or big) paws on my furniture. There's room to play either inside or out, a quiet neighborhood to walk in, and a park a few minutes away. If your companion is crate trained I do have my own crates if that is something you need/are interested in. I have had to care for sick as well as elderly babies, both dogs, and cats, so if your pet needs certain accommodations or extra attention I have some experience in working with those that need a little extra help.
About: I understand that your fur babies are your family and can’t wait to meet them. With 32 years of general pet care and ownership experience (and counting), I look forward to loving and caring for your furry family members. I’m a stay at home Mom to a few fur babies and my daughter. My schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted fairly easily with communication. I’m happy to adopt any schedule or routines requested for yours and your pet’s happiness. I’m flexible and can care for your fur babies at any location required. I look forward to welcoming you and your pets into our little family.
“Keryn was awesome! We went away for a weekend and she took good care of our two cats. I was worried about the fireworks being scary for them and she stayed here and kept them busy so they wouldn’t be afraid. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Having to raise a dog who was from a troubled past has prepared me with patience and resilience that is needed in good dog care. Every pet is different as and no two pets are alike. Having works as a receptionist in a veterinary hospital I have learned the proper care for every animal that passed through our doors. Some weeks I work 7-4 and another I work 11-8 so I would work either early in the mornings or later in the evenings. I do work at a vet hospital so If your pet is needed for an overnight stay I am able to take them to work with me :) My neighborhood is a very pet friendly area with several trails people use to walk their pets 24/7 and I am more than comfortable doing so if requested!
“We went out of town for two weeks, and we’re worried about our cats, one of whom is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day. We saw Alli’s profile and she had great reviews, and lived close to us. We felt very confident once we met her in person, and having just arrived home from our trip, I can say that she exceeded our expectations. Alli sent us videos, pictures and updates every visit, and I could see how happy the cats were with her visits. They are normally shy around strangers, but they greeted her at the door when she came over and loved her petting and attention. She also watered our plants while she was here. I would highly recommend Alli, and will definitely request her again when we next go out of town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lucerne
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Animal care is my absolute passion and it's a goal of mine to earn licensure as a vet technician! I grew up on a ranch around animals big and small and for the last 4 years have been professionally pet-sitting; mostly cats and dogs but also rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds. I'm comfortable with any medication administration, special food preparation, or exercise/training requirements that your pet needs and can accommodate any requests. As a fully online student, I have complete flexibility in my day to care for your pet. I'm available daily, including weekends, and accept bookings same-day. I also accept drop in/house sitting requests for most small animals including rodents and reptiles. I have no animals of my own so your pets will have my complete attention and the house to themselves. My apartment complex has plenty of green grass and wildlife for enrichment walks and play, and my home has sunny windows for sunbathing. Safety, trust, and comfortability are my ultimate priorities and I would care for your pets/home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
“Peggy had a great day! She was well cared for. I appreciated the pictures, videos, and texts throughout the day. My favorite is the video showing Peggy and their dog running together in their large backyard. Wonderful place for your dog to stay for the day.”
About: Hi! I'm a passionate and attentive pet caregiver with 5+ years of personal experience and 1 year of professional dog-sitting under my belt. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from high-energy pups who love a good run, to mellow seniors who just want a snuggle buddy. One of my own dogs experiences focal seizures, so I’m very familiar with providing calm, capable care in medical situations. I’m also experienced with administering medications (pills, drops, etc.) and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable during the process. My dog Mr. Peanutbutter has had bad experiences with larger dogs so I understand pups who need a little extra care with anxiety. I’ve worked with a variety of animals, including ducks, and I’d be happy to check in on other pets (like cats, birds, or small animals) or care for your plants while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, an energetic walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, responsibility, and plenty of love to every visit. I treat every animal like they’re my own—and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care is my passion and my full time focus while saving up for higher education. Pet care is what I'm focused on when not studying. I only have late night class for 2 hours 1 night a week and at home studying so I have much time to focus on specific needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.
“Davisha is very in tune with dogs’ needs, and she was patient and considerate with our pup who was struggling with separation anxiety. A great communicator, and I would trust her services again.”
About: I am an animal lover all my life, I want to help furbabys parents have the peace of mind knowing when they leave for a getaway that their furbaby will be very well cared for and loved. I am home all day, so your furbaby will not be left alone. I have a doggy door so they can come and go as they please into my backyard My yard is secure with gates closing off our entire yard. I have a lil furbaby of my own her name is “Mimosa” and she is absolutely the sweetest she loves everything, everyone and loves to play she would be so happy having a playmate!!!

About: I grew up with dogs- Huskies and German Shepard. Also grew up with cats- mostly Siamese. I’m very active and love running and long walks if you’re pup is for it! I have an eager almost six year old son who loves to help out and is very gentle with pets. I’m a teacher, so I’m available weekends, all the long holiday breaks, and all summer. I can do during the work week as well, but am gone 7.5 hours! My son is wanting a dog and I’m looking for any excuse to get outdoors and moving as much as possible, so I figured dog walking and sitting would be perfect for our little family. We have some big goals for our little family as well and would love the opportunity to earn your business and help us accomplish those :) We don’t discriminate against cats and would love to watch them as well. I live in a pet friendly community and can sit in my all hardwood floor three bedroom townhome that has a dog park on site. During the school year, I am gone for 7.5 hours during the day, so please keep that in mind if you need boarding on weekdays when school is in session :) A few musta for doggies in our home- they must be house trained, they must be okay home alone for the workday (unless during a holiday week or summer), in which case they must be okay independently for up to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be temperamental or whine/bark when left alone out of respect for neighbors and their own well being :)
About: For the past two decades or more (circa 2001) I have cared for dogs as far north as Alaska as far south as Brazil as far east as France and as far west as Santa Cruz California Responsibility of pets is something often I enjoy greatly. Hardly a day goes by where I am not up early feeding walking and cleaning up after either my own or someone else’s fur babies. My basic service on Rover includes two feedings per day, two potty breaks (if necessary), one medium range walk (~30mins) depending on weather and one photo update (optional). If you need more services, please state outright so we can adjust the rates accordingly. I focus on sitting at owners’ homes and I’m very respectful and tidy when it comes to property upkeep. Hope we can meet up soon for an arrangement.
About: Just a girl from California! I grew up with dogs & cats my whole life. From pets to farm animals. I have great experience :) I have a Belgian Malinois of my own. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own! I am currently free and can work around my schedule :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I live in a home with a fenced yard! I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby company. I can crate if needed!
About: I have been a pet owner and lover for almost my whole entire life! I am here to help you with your fur babies and to treat and take care of them as if they were my own family members❤️😊 I am currently a stay at home mom of 3 so I am available day and night, weekdays and weekends as well. Taking off on a trip? Don’t worry I got you! Needing a sitter for a few hour’s ? I’ll be home! Your pet’s well-being means the world to me. In your home or mine, I provide a warm, loving space where they feel safe and cherished. With two dogs and four cats of my own, I know the joy and comfort pets bring. I treat every animal like family.. listening to their needs, honoring their routines, and giving them the gentle care they deserve while you’re away.
About: I've taken care several different types of animals throughout my life. I've lived on a farm and was responsible for all the animals on the farm. I am a teacher so I am off by 3:30 and have weekends off. I also have all major holidays off. I am willing to travel! I have a fenced yard. I also have one dog and one cat of my own. They are use to other animals. I also have crates if needed.

I also have a dog that is very friendly. He doesn’t mind company. I also have a kennel other than that the dogs can I have a small back porch
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so dogs are a walk in the park! My experience with dogs is primarily with working breeds. I’ve always done my own grooming, and currently am mom to a rambunctious Belgian Malinois! I work for an after school program that is currently out for the summer, so I have plenty of time for helping during the day! I have rather small fenced yard, but am very familiar with the local dog park, where I take my dog friendly Malinois, Mace, daily. If in my home, your furry family member should preferably be crate trained, but I am open to conversation!
“BJ took great care of my dog, Stocky. She seemed to handle dogs so well. And she was willing to keep him longer than promised pick-up time when we were delayed due to the traffic. I'll definitely have her as a sitter when we travel the area again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had a variety of pets and a passion for animals my whole life. I worked in the veterinary industry for 4 years which gives me a unique insight and understanding of basic ailments that might need veterinary attention. I’m also a certified dog trainer. I have implemented training with every dog I’ve owned since I was a child and have been doing so with certification for 12 years. Should you decide to allow me to care for your fur babies, an added bonus is that they may learn some new behaviors as a result of my training experience. I have been working from home for a year and have two dogs of my own. We have developed a routine that has allowed me the ability to put more time and energy to help others. I have a 18 year old daughter who assists in the care of our two dogs so I have more time to focus on caring for your furry friend/family member. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs. A seven year old French bulldog, Watson, and a one and a half year old Cane Corso, Gus. We also have two cats that like to be outdoors with the various cats in the neighborhood. Our two dogs are predominantly inside with occasional kennel time and/or use of baby gates to ensure safety when necessary.
“Finnegan, myself, Mel & tribe (lol) had a meet & greet the day before Finnegans first time in daycare. It went very well. She has lots of different areas for the dogs & toys too. I dropped him off the next morning. On checking on him later that day, she told me he had been quite anxious, (which i expected) but that he settled down. She sent me a little video too. (Im not sure who was more nervous him or me). Ive never used doggie daycare before, but if im in the area again, i will certainly book him a spot. She was very patient with him.”

“Kind, communicative, & excellent with my chaotic boy. I'm a firm believer that you can usually tell if someone is not a great person by how dogs respond to them. My dog IMMEDIATELY went up to her and was SOOO excited for her attention! She also got a solid walk in during the time frame! Definitely recommend.”

“Zoie was wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, and very attentive to my dogs. I booked a 30-minute walk, but she noticed that my senior dogs were already tired after about 15 minutes due to the heat. She reached out right away to check in and thoughtfully recommended taking them home rather than pushing them past their comfort level. I really appreciated her communication and genuine care for my dogs’ well-being. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”
“Keryn has been walking my puppy, Sadie, daily and for special events, for about 1.5 months. She's a fantastic walker -- reliable, communicative, and loving with my "shy to new people" doggy. I highly recommend Keryn.”
“Alli is reliable, kind, and knows her dog breeds. I have a high energy/ quirky Aussie and he took to Alli immediately! She has such a calming energ and clearly is very comfortable with animals. Even better, she’s great at communicating and sending updates. Highly recommend Alli”
About: I’m currently in college to be a nurse. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, from goats, chickens, and ducks to dogs and cats. I’m excited to be able to meet new pets and spend time with them. My schedule is pretty open, as I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday and every other day I’m free. I’m willing to take care of your pet on the weekends as well. I ensure that all the pets that I have taken care of have the proper food and water they need, as well as get a source of exercise whether it’s a walk or play time, and that they also get lots of cuddles.
About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.
