“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!”
“Arianna was great with our 3 dogs. They loved her. I got picture updates and a note when I got home updating me on the dogs. We leave music or the TV on for them when we are not home so when we arrived home she had left them watching the dog channel which was so cute. A few days before our Scheduled time with her we asked if she could come earlier then planned. She not only did but arrived early.”

“Charles did beyond a wonderful job caring for 3 animals. He was timely, did everything we discussed, and our dogs and cat were very happy with him. We got daily updates and photos, and our house looked amazing when we got back. We will definitely be booking him more in the future. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Charles. Timber, Bear, and Thoomi can’t wait to see you again.”
About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.
“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
“Angelina was great. She took good care of our dog as well as our house. Our flight was delayed overnight so she changed her plans and returned last minute. We’ll call on her again as needed.”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.
About: I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable and attentive, with experience housesitting and dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, from playful puppies to older pets who just need some extra patience and comfort. My schedule is very flexible right now, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care whenever it’s needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my daily routine feels natural and rewarding. I like to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I’ll handle feeding, walks, playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure they’re happy and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I’ve baby sat many pets in my neighborhood growing up, I love spending time with animals of any kind! They make me so happy :) I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician and work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I love taking walks at Linear Park and spending time at Bonita Dog Beach with my senior pup. She is extremely friendly and absolutely loves the company of other cats and dogs, so your furry friend will have a welcoming companion during their stay! I’m available for house sitting, boarding in my home, or dog walks—whatever works best for you and your pet. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a pet friendly apartment. There is also a dog park and dog spa on the property! I I can ensure your pet will get plenty of exercise on our walk and there’s plenty of beautiful things to explore!
“Liani was very responsive and sent frequent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. Kept the home tidy and the dogs were in great shape and had been well cared for while we were gone. Would highly recommend Liani as a sitter.”
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lehigh Acres is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 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.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
