“Anna, has been THE BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She communicated with us during her stay with Charlie with many photos and updates. Came back to a clean house and a happy dog. A+ service.”
“Ryker house sat for us when went back to the UK. He looked after our three dogs 2 beagles Benji & Cooper and our CaviPooChon BoBo. All three are very friendly but Cooper is super mischievous. Ryker caught our eye because he's volunteered at the Wolf Sanctuary & Humane Society, he also did an internship at a veterinary hospital. From our first meeting Ryker inspired confidence in us and his rapport with dogs was very evident. During his stay he took everything in his stride and wasn’t phased by anything. Cooper locked him out of the house. (Coops can open & shut doors), Benji became ill with an upset stomach, there were more hurdles but what ever the hurdle Ryker dealt with it in an assured and calm manner. He gave us updates each day, we hadn’t asked for daily updates but we were pleased that he sent them. We have used dog sitters before and by a massive margin Ryker has been the best yet!! We were blessed to have had him. Would I use him again 100% YES. Would I recommend Ryker 150% YES! His ambition is to become a Vet, and I, for one would not hesitate in using him when he qualifies.”
“Ana was amazing! She was very responsive and sent many updates daily. Our little guy loved her so much!! She accommodated him so well. Senior dogs need more attention and we are so happy we found Ana!!! Thank you!!!”
“I can't recommend Christine enough—she's an absolute dream of a pet sitter! From the moment we met for the initial greet, my two dogs were wagging their tails like crazy, and I knew they’d be in great hands. During my trip, Christine sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos of my dogs playing and enjoying her company. Christine’s communication was top-notch—quick responses to my random check-ins. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, book Christine now. I’ll definitely be repeat client!”
“Victor continues to be our go-to sitter - we love that he follows our pup’s routine so closely, takes him on long walks and backyard playtime, and always proactively sends photos & updates - just the best all around and our pup loves him!”
“Estelle did a wonderful job caring for our two large dogs. They were happy and relaxed in her care abs she was great to give treats and meds as needed. She was responsive and send great pics. I will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in a family that raised poodles, and at one time we cared for as many as 22. I learned very young how to care for dogs and puppies, including helping with newborn litters. Throughout my life I have had dogs and treat everyone in my care as if they were my own. I enjoy walking, playing, cuddling and giving them plenty of individual attention. I am especially comfortable with puppies, small and medium dogs, and larger dogs. I am also happy to care for senior dogs and follow their established feeding, medication and daily routines carefully. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your dog plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy walking, playing, cuddling and keeping dogs company, and I'm happy to follow the routine they are accustomed to at home. Puppies and senior dogs are especially welcome, and potty breaks and walks can be provided as often as needed. I care for dogs in their own home with the same attention and affection I have always given my own. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements and daily routines. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. I believe dogs are happiest when they feel secure, loved and cared for while their family is away.
About: I have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together. My daily and weekly routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and compassion in pet care. As a pet sitter, l'll bring this same level of dedication and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I understand the importance of providing care to your pet while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I am very familiar with taking care of them. I have years of experience in overnight sitting and caring for others' pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule. As a Realtor, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. If they should need extra care, I'll be there! I have done all overnight pet sitting at my client's home. I make sure the pets are properly taken care of and attended to. All duties that are assigned are completed with enthusiasm.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.
“Very professional and alert. Brutus started to get some eye discharge and Dannie let us know right away. She sent us times she fed the boys and pics of them playing outside. She even kept my floor clean when the dogs tracked in dirt from outside! As long as she wants to come back we would book her again!”
“Jennifer is always prompt in responding and was prompt on arriving. The dogs were happy while she was here and the house was in great shape when we got home. Everything and everyone appeared to be well cared for!”
“Samuel is a fantastic dog sitter! He texted me every day with photos and updates on how my pup was doing. He is very attentive and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable while you are away. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi, I’m Josie, and have been caring for animals for just about my entire life! At 14 years old I began volunteering at Domestic Animal Services. Through this I discovered my adoration for all types of animals, and since then have worked at dog kennels and veterinary offices. Through working at the vet I am also experienced in administering all sorts of medications, and have learned how to respond in the case of a health emergency. As a dog & cat owner myself, I know firsthand how important it is to find the right person who will treat your fur babies as their own! I am completely free on weekends, I do work a full time job during the week, depending on location may be able to go home & provide mid day care if needed! Unfortunately, due to my own dog not getting along well with other animals, I am only available to pet sit overnight at your own home. I am also able to do any other jobs that this would entail, such as getting the mail, taking trash in/out, etc.
About: My neighbors and friends dogs love me and know that I always have a treat for them. It doesn't matter how long they want to play catch and I love sharing my bed. I walk daily and am looking forward to sharing my routine with your fur baby. I am available most days of the week and always on weekends. I am a long term resident of Naples, Florida and am willing to stay with your fur baby. I love to snuggle and watch tv with them on my lap. I know local vets and the best parks for walking.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life growing up! From childhood family pups to my cute yorkie terrier Gio, I’ve always been around to either care for another family member’s dog, care for close friends’ dogs as well, to making sure Gio’s tail is always wagging. From having smaller pups in our family home, to even helping walk the neighbors’ Great Dane growing up, dogs have always been a part of my life, and will continue being so! I am eager to work with some of the best clients ever and making sure all dogs I have the privilege of caring for continue staying happy and healthy. I’m currently a full-time student at Florida Gulf Coast University and live in on-campus housing. Tuesdays through Thursdays are my busiest days of the week. However, I will be sure to routinely update my Rover calendar in my profile! Additionally, with advanced notice, I am flexible with days/times of the week :) Due to living in on-campus housing, I am unfortunately unable to bring your pets into my home. Additionally, I would not want pets in general to be in a dorm environment! The best way for me to care for your fur friends would be setting up a day and time you’d like me to care for your pet in your lovely home. From there, we can coordinate any other potential logistics! I am more than happy to work with you in finding the best/soonest date to find care for your pets- advanced notice is highly preferred, but not necessary!
“Juliana was amazing. She took great care of our two dogs and cat and when our trip was extended for 3 days due to weather delays she stepped in and extended her care with joy. Will definitely be using Juliana again.”
“Ashlee was absolutely fantastic with my dog! They sent regular photo updates, kept great communication the entire time, and my pup was relaxed and happy when I got back. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lely
I was out of the country for 12 days and Athena stayed at my house with my French bulldog. I’d never been gone away that long, and it was a big stress relief to have her watch him at my house. She is professional, reliable and followed instructions that I gave her. She communicated with me while I was away and I felt confident leaving my dog in her care. I would recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.
Amber was great with our 5 year old bernedoodle. She stayed with him for almost two weeks and treated him like family. She even worked on socializing him with other dogs while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again next time we need help.
Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!
Federica was great! She came down with a fever and took Erin to her house to better take care of her. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us during this time. Erin came home worn out and in good spirit from playing with Federica's dog. We would employ Federica again!
Jane has a big heart for our pups, even our more difficult little girl, Lucy! We thank her for her loving care while we traveled out of state again. They miss her already and our little girl misses the belly rubs Jane so lovingly gave her. Thank you Jane for having such a heart for animals even the difficult ones! Bless you! Kathy B.
Loida came to our home to stay with our two mini-schnauzers. I was nervous leaving them because it was well before Covid when we last did AND they go everywhere with us! But Loida came to the house and she struck me as a very responsible young women. It turns out I was 100% correct in placing my faith in her. We got many pics and the house was immaculate when we returned! Plants watered, trash removed and the pups happy to see us but clearly well cared for. what a find she is!! I can not recommend her more highly!! I would use her for ANY service she offers! Very responsible !!
Tamesha was so helpful in caring for my pup while I was gone. She did a great job ensuring all the little things were done, like turning the TV on for Biggie. She also addressed my concerns accordingly. I’m especially thankful for her commitment over the holiday!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Lely 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 Lely 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lely 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
