“Our dog Maggie was so relaxed when we came home, she obviously felt very safe with Stephanie as her sitter, and that’s saying something for this rescue dog 😍 Thank you!”
“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.”
“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:)”
“Kristina was amazing, she treats your lil ones with love and respects your home and on top of that she has an amazing personality I loved when meeting her. She’s on time and keeps you up to date. Highly recommend!”
“We were able to go on vacation without worry because our animals were in good hands. Nathan took excellent care of them. When our dog became ill, he knew just what to do. It was a comfort to know our Charlie was taken care of.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ariela is a total gem, best sitter we’ve ever had! She cared for our dog Belinha at our home for five days while we were out of the country. Our dog has a history of separation anxiety, so we’re always nervous about leaving her, but from the moment we met Ariela, we felt confident she was in good hands. Throughout the stay, Ariela was a fantastic communicator. She sent us regular updates with photos that truly put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless house. It’s clear that Ariela genuinely loves and understands the pets she cares for. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be a repeat customer!”
“Ally did an amazing job with our Zoe. Daily pictures assured us that Zoe was in good hands and bonding with Ally. Will definitely look to use Ally again when the need is there. And she even put her towels in the wash machine before she left on the last day. Super job.”
“I definitely recommend booking with her! She watched my baby Clover in my home while I went out of town, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. She made sure to update me every chance she got regarding Clover, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind. We also did a meet and greet beforehand, which was really nice because it gave Clover a chance to get familiar and comfortable. She is very sweet, professional, and trustworthy. I truly felt safe having her in my home. I highly recommend her for any housesitting needs or any other services she offers!”
“Angel did an excellent job watching our dog Jumba, very responsive whenever I sent a message to see how things were going, providing pictures of my boy, and asking questions whenever she was unsure about any of Jumba's behaviors (he's a goofy boy). She also cleaned up the day she left and the house was in the same order as when we left it. Could not recommend Angel enough to any other person who may enlist her services for house watching/dog sititng!”
“Therese was great with our dog. She was always friendly and communicative. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We’d gladly have her sit with our dog again. Highly recommend”
“Perla was OUTSTANDING!! She communicated well, and paid so much attention to our sweet girl. She left the house spotless and even left me flowers. She is an absolute gem and will be our go-to person to watch Dixie for us. Thank you so much Perla!”
“Destiny is the most loving and responsible young lady i’ve Ever met. My dog Luna was welcoming her with kisses after just one day with her, and she kept me updated at all times. I’m blesse I found Luna’s step mom”
“I had to attend some intensive work training with really unpredictable and super weird hours, and Kelly was an absolute lifesaver. Her flexibility was incredible—she worked around my crazy schedule without hesitation and always made it work seamlessly. She was extremely punctual and fully accountable, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, she proactively sent me adorable pictures of my dogs and quickly responded to every message, reassuring me that they were happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care. Knowing she was checking in on both me and my pups meant the world during a stressful time. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and highly responsive pet sitter, look no further. I will definitely be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you so much for everything—you're a true professional and a dog lover! ❤️”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Lake
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 $44.4 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 3,090 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.
