“Michelle is the best! Punctual. Kept me up to date on my little one! Spoiled him just as much as I do. I don’t think Butch missed me one bit ? and best part, it’s always great coming home to a clean home. Michelle went over and beyond and cleaned the guest areas that were used, washed sheets and towels, was kind enough to fold laundry I had forgot in the dryer, swept and mopped. I would recommend Michelle over and over again and will definitely be booking for her services again soon!”
“Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!”
About: They pets that stay with me will be treated as part of the family for their stay. Will be exercised and have play time. As well as any medications, bathing, nail trims if needed. I'm a professional f Dog groomer for 6 years. I am great with needy dogs and will do everything in my power to make your dogs feel like they are at home with all the loving and attention they need. Any special instructions from the pets" parents will be followed to the letter. They will have open areas to play all day if they want or walks if so desired by the pet owner. Available 24/7 for text, picture or videos of their furry loved ones. I have experience with large, small, medium, bulky breeds, and toy breeds. And if you need you pet bathed or groomed before pick up just let me know and I will have prices ready for you. My mother and I are here 24hrs s day. If one needs to run and errand the other stays at home to keep watch over the pups. We take the out ominous the over 0.24 acres back yard that fully fenced in and mostly shaded. I treat them like toddlers, but saying no a lot less since dogs can't speak English. They get all the loving they want rather it be on top of you, rolling over for belly rubs, if they want butt scratches or just chillin- on there own.
“Came home to a happy Tazzy and a house that was just the way I left it!!! Olivia made sure I knew how he was doing and asked really good questions to make sure she provided him the best of care. Already using her again AS I TYPE THIS lol!!!!”
About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life, so understanding what makes dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for is second nature to me. Instead of basic sitting, I focus on giving pets my full attention through reliable daily walks and safe, stress-free transport. Having spent a lifetime owning and caring for dogs, I treat every animal I work with with the same patience and love I give my own. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including managing and administering daily medications with ease. I work part-time as an aesthetician and nail tech and take my college classes online full-time, which leaves me with a super flexible daily schedule. Since I study from home, I have plenty of time between classes and work shifts to dedicate to pet care. Fitting in regular drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day is really easy for me, so your pet will always get timely, hands-on attention. Growing up with animals my whole life, keeping pets safe and comfortable is just automatic for me. When I’m out on walks or transporting pets, I always double-check harnesses, keep leashes secure, and make sure cats are safely in their carriers. Since I have years of experience giving medications and reading animal body language, I stay super focused on how they’re feeling so nothing catches us off guard. I treat every pet with the same constant care and eye for safety that I’ve always given my own
“Haley was so great with my dog! She is attentive communicated well the entire time. It was nice knowing my girl was well cared for and loved while I was away. Will definitely book again!”
“Emily was amazing! She provided updates, pics and kept in communication with us. We felt great having her there to take care of them. I would definitely recommend, and will definitely be asking her to help out again!”
“I have a lot of anxiety when I leave our dogs, and Christelle was so kind in sending multiple sets of photos a day, asking questions when necessary, and being very attentive and considerate. She took great care of our pack and we would definitely have her pup-sit again! She was very considerate of our home as well, and took great care of it while we were gone.”

“A zillion stars! Look no further! Sabrina is a rockstar! We have 4 VERY different pups with various different needs (exercise, attention, medications) ranging from 10 months to 14 years old. This didn’t deter her from caring for 4 babies in our home while we were away. I am an absolute helicopter dog mom and have had some awful pet sitter experiences. Sabrina exceeded my expectations! Her communication was amazing, tons of pictures, tons of videos, and questions when she was unsure. She was very patient with my oldest 2 who both take time to warm up to new people. In no time at all, all 4 pups were snuggled up to her sleeping at night! I did not worry one bit while we were on vacation. Sabrina is a blessing and will use her services over and over again!”
“Chelsea was responsive and reliable. The dogs loved her. She house/dog sat for a week and sent pictures morning and night. One of my dogs doesn’t warm up to people but Chelsea won her over. The house was clean and neat when we got here. We highly recommend her services.”
About: grew up with dogs and have over 7 years of experience walking and caring for them. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I currently work hybrid with the ability to work from home throughout the week. I am required to go into the office on Thursdays but can work around my schedule to care for your animals. I care for pets in their own home, as my roommate has a dog who gets anxious around other animals. I’m very clean, respectful, and will treat your home as if it were my own. You can feel confident knowing your pet and space are in good hands.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.

I love and care for all animals and as part of my daily life I enjoy taking care of and loving animals and pets. I have a friendly chiweenie female to keep your loved pup company. My home is fenced in and the yard does offer a lot of running and play space. Inside my house the dogs are allowed on the sofa and would have their own little area if needed to spend the night/s. If invited to sit in a clients home I would be more than respectful and clean up messes if any are made. I have no trouble taking care of dogs and love spending time with them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lehigh Acres
Nicole was great! We were able to travel and not worry about our pets or our home. Unfortunately our Internet was down, but Nicole was fine and managed without it. Everything was as we left it and our pets were very happy, them staying in their own home made all the difference. We will definitely use Nicole in the future and highly recommend her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lehigh Acres is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $80 per night.

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 Lehigh Acres 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 Lehigh Acres 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 Lehigh Acres 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.
