“Shelley was very communicative during her stay. After a rough start for not having the code to our door (completely my fault) things went very smoothly. Daisy and the house were well cared for.”
“Jared was great with our pets. He did a last minute meet and greet when our sitter had a emergency and couldn't sit. He asked good questions about our pets needs and the dogs were comfortable around him. We received daily updates with pictures. We would highly recommend him.”
“Nate was great! He stayed with my two dogs while I was out of town and took care of everything I needed him to and more! He kept me updated every step of the way. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Sarah did an amazing job caring for our two dogs, Kizzy and Odin! She sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Sarah also picked up our packages and took wonderful care of our house. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and reliability, and we would definitely book her again!”
“Elizabeth was great with my three very different personality dogs. They are little with big personalities! She managed them all so well, no accidents in the house, and gave them love as if they were her own. I’m happy to have found someone reliable and patient to be with our pups when we go out of town:)”
“Ariella did an amazing job! Our dog had a stomach issue while we were gone and Ariella took such great care of her, even offering to take her to the vet. She went above and beyond, washing blankets and sheets, handling a dog that threw up every night she was here. We are so grateful Ariella was with our dog when this happened.”
“Ally goes above and beyond for your pet. We have three crazy dogs and she was excellent with them and they loved her! She constantly communicates and send pictures. We love her!”
“Kristina was fantastic! Super responsive and appreciated the meet and greet before our trip. The pups and cat were well taken care of and we got lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely be using Kristina again!”
About: I adore animals of all size and shapes! I am experienced with animals of all ages and conditions. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish and more. I have experience with all ages, from fostering and raising kittens from 4 weeks old to looking after senior dogs over the age of 15. I have an American Hairless Terrier and a calico tabby that I will not stop talking about! I have 2 pets myself at the moment, so I understand how much a schedule is needed to keep them happy and healthy. I have open availability so I am able to work around your plans as needed. Every animal has different exercises and attention needs, and I aim to meet all of them. For dogs, I am a big fan of supervised outdoor time, whether that is a walk around the neighborhood or a good game of fetch in the back yard. While my cat may also enjoy a good game of fetch I know that not every cat does. I aim to make sure everyone is healthy, comfortable, and most importantly: safe!
“Nathan took such great care of our pup Winston! He communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Winston seemed very happy and at ease with him. I definitely recommend Nathan!”
“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
“Therese did an amazing job with our boys! Our dogs typically bark at new people but during the meet and greet they went up to her no problem. She sent us daily updates and took great care of everything!”
“Danielle has been great, Nala enjoyed her company. She kept me updated all the time with pictures and videos which I appreciate. Also, she was very flexible and helped us with an extra day. We will definitely book her again, we really loved her services and professionalism. Thanks Danielle for everything :)”
“Tiffany was awesome. She stayed with my two rambunctious Boston Terrier puppies for a long weekend. We recieved many pictures and updates during our time away giving us comfort that our babies were being well taken care of. Our babies are spoiled and sleep in bed with us. Tiffany didn't bat an eye in sharing the bed. Best yet the house was clean and dog poop all picked up. We definately would use her again. Highly recommended!”
“Nick was phenomenal! We felt so comfortable leaving Ivy with him in our home and she truly enjoyed their time together. He was so detailed and accommodating with every direction and request. We received multiple updates each day including photos and thoughtful questions if anything was unclear. We will definitely be using Nick again for walking/sitting needs!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through caring for dogs for family, friends, neighbors, and Rover clients, I have gained experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy and anxious dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide individualized care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and quiet environment, I am happy to adapt to their needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently free every day with no classes or scheduling conflicts, so I have full availability throughout the day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision for pets, including walks, feedings, and playtime whenever needed during both weekdays and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where dogs can feel relaxed and at home. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and ensure dogs receive regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog is outgoing and playful or shy and anxious, I take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace.
About: For over 15 years, I have provided comprehensive, high-quality care for both dogs and cats. My experience ranges from high-energy playtime to specialized senior care and positive reinforcement training. I pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment for every pet. What I Offer- Medical & Senior Care: Confident in administering oral medications and skin topicals, as well as managing specialized routines for aging pets. Positive Training: Skilled in teaching basic manners, tricks, and reinforcing good behavior using force-free methods. Play & Enrichment: Expert at reading animal body language to deliver the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feline Expertise: Experienced in managing cat behavior, specialized diets, and giving space to timid or anxious felines. Whether your pet needs basic puppy training, gentle elder care, or just a fun day of structured play, I adapt my approach to their unique personality. Because my work schedule varies week-to-week, I am highly adaptable and can often accommodate non-traditional times, last-minute requests, and mid-day visits that standard 9-to-5 sitters cannot. I manage my calendar tightly to ensure that when your pet is booked, they get my 100% undivided attention, medical care, and training focus. As a seasoned pet professional specializing in medical administration and behavioral training, I look at safety through a clinical and preventative lens. I do not just watch your pet; I actively monitor their health, behavior, and physical surroundings to prevent accidents before they happen. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing an expert is at the helm.
About: I grew up around dogs for years. I have alot of patience and I love to run around with them. I’ve bonded with them over the years. I’m currently working part time and have time to care for dogs&cats. I’m an early riser and love to give pets a morning routine or afternoon routine . I have different dog toys, a crate and soothing music and massage techniques. Also senior dogs need lots of love and I’m ready to give it to them.
“I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog, Lara, while I was in the Dominican Republic. Since Lara recently lost her sister, I was especially grateful knowing she was in such caring hands while I was away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I received frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Lara felt comfortable, happy, and loved. Lara really liked her, and that means everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet girl!”

Ally was incredible! We are new to the area so I was nervous finding a new pet sitter, but was so lucky to come upon Ally. She took the time to come meet me and the pups weeks prior to her stay which made me feel so comfortable when it was time to leave. We got multiple photos each day and it was evident our pups were happy and healthy and well taken care of . She left the house clean and in great condition. Will definitely be contacting her again for any future trips!
Mary is just so sweet! She came to stay at my house and take care of my three dogs, two of whom are special needs. She administered medication as needed. She cleaned up the house and brought our trash cans in after trash day. She was very communicative and kept us updated while on our trip. One of my dogs even tore up a plant while she was out and she cleaned it all up! I highly recommend Mary for any of your pet needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bay Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bay Lake on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,066 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bay Lake. 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 Bay Lake 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 Bay Lake 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 Bay Lake 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.

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.
