“Gwendolyn was amazing with our 9 month-old golden retriever! She stayed at our place for a long weekend, kept everything so clean, and sent tons of updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup and spotless apartment—couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and lizards. I have two cats myself🐱. While I’m new to Rover, I regularly help my mom with her Rover pet sitting clients, which has given me hands on experience with feeding, playtime, walks, cleaning, and ensuring all pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in kitten care as I have one myself. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s routine and specific needs. I’m a full-time college student at Palm Beach State College, with my classes mainly in the mornings on Monday-Wednesday and Thursday starting in October. I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care outside of my class hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment while following their normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.🐱🐶❤️

“Toni is amazing! Excellent with communication and you can tell she’s an animal person right away! Kala warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us pictures and updates from the time she got to our home to when she left. Our home was left in excellent condition and every instruction followed perfectly. We will definitely use her in the future and Kala has a new best friend ☺️”

About: i come from a background of volunteer work at no kill shelters like peggy adams. this taught me a lot of different things about furry friends, different behavior patterns, temperament and health needs. i have been professionally sitting for the past few years now with cats and dogs and with all of that experience, it makes me very fit to take care of pretty much any fur baby at this point. i love animals and i treat every pet as if it were my own. i work in the healthcare industry remotely, so I do have a flexible open schedule. any specific timing requirements needed can be discussed before the visit. i have a fenced in patio and backyard area where i let my animals room free whenever possible i take them on long walks around my neighborhood and just kind of do all i can to ensure that they’re active and safe and make sure that my gates are constantly locked. especially if i know i will be going for a long walk and i will ensure the same safety in your home as well.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

“Clare is an amazing sitter! This was my second time booking her, and I couldn’t be happier. My little Luna absolutely adores her! Clare kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She left the house spotless and even washed the bedding so I wouldn’t have to deal with it after a long trip which is such a thoughtful touch. Thank you, Clare! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in both home and shelter settings, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently in medical residency, and as an MD I bring a calm, responsible, and detail-oriented approach—so your pet is always in safe, attentive hands. I also have experience with basic training for young pets like house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Most of all, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency. I can accommodate feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I adjust my schedule to ensure pets are always cared for before and after other commitments. I also set aside extra time weekly for longer walks, enrichment, and cleaning. I am currently in MD residency, so some weeks are busier than others, but I am very communicative—please let me know your needs and I will do my best to make it work. I provide a safe and calm environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care. I follow all owner instructions closely and maintain household security. In a client’s home, I respect the space, value privacy and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, as well as for family and friends. I’ve cared for all kinds of pups from playful, energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to keep them safe, comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’m happy to provide the love and care they deserve! 🐾🤍 Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been watching animals since I was 12. Including exotic small pets, which have lived long healthy lives. Most creatures I can handle and do not phase me. I’m a nursing student, so pet care usually offers me the ability to focus and more freedom than most jobs to study, while I walk animals (I use headphones) or snuggle with them. Pet care also keeps me focused; I like to schedule my planning around the pets' needs, which prevents my procrastination. In my home, I prefer to keep them near me; I have three dog beds: one that my dog likes to use, and two expensive giant ones that I wasted my money on because my dog has never touched them (🙃 I guess I can put the beds to use now, lol). In a client's home, I usually stay on the couch with them while I write notes (if that’s allowed). If the dog is extremely clingy, I try to stay in proximity

Leaving our three dogs while we went on a family vacation cruise could have been stressful, but Elayne made the entire experience completely worry-free. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and took the time to understand each of our dogs' unique personalities. Throughout our trip, she kept in constant contact with regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind. To top it all off, we came home to very happy, well-loved pups and an immaculate house! Elayne went above and beyond, and we will definitely be using her every time we go away. Elayne is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We strongly suggest everyone book Elayne—she’s truly the best, and your dogs will love her!

Gwen is the absolute best! She took care of our lab Maisie over the Memorial Day holiday weekend as well as our son's little cockapoo, Beau. She's taken care of Maisie multiple times before, but this time she had two to deal with, two pups who don't live together, two pups who were both away from their parents.... And she handled this with patience, kindness, and thoughtful care of both of them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cypress Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Cypress Lakes is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cypress Lakes. 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 Cypress Lakes 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 Cypress Lakes 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 Cypress Lakes 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cypress Lakes. On Rover:

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.
