“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”
“Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.”
“Vanessa and Paula worked great as a team! They came to visit Skylar the night before I went out of time, took her on a walk, and was there right on time the next morning. I was able to go out of time without a single worry. Paula sent me the cutest pictures and videos while I was away. There was one small hiccup with my key, but even then she figured everything out on her own without any additional stress to me. Highly recommend! My dog and I were both happy”
About: I was born and raised in South Africa. Then lived a long time years in England. I've always had pets. In SA we had a farm, and was on the farm every weekend, so I have experience with pets and farm animals. My own doggy died February and I'd love to love someone else's pets and get my pet fix lol. I'm a mature woman that had a professional business for years, so I am totally trustworthy. I can stay in your house, look after your pets, get the post, make sure the pool cleaner arrives, dust and keep everything in good order whilst you are away. I do this as a full time career, so I fit in with you and your pets. My girls have flown the nest and I live alone, so Im totally flexible I cannot board your pet, but I can stay with them at your house, or pop in regularly to see them. Just tell me what works for you
About: As the proud owner of a beloved Chihuahua for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family and deserve patient, loving care. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and special needs, including seniors, puppies, and pets requiring extra attention. I have a calm, gentle approach that helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable, and I’m confident administering medications and providing attentive care for pets with medical needs. I currently serve as the Treasurer of my HOA, where I successfully advocated for and helped establish policies allowing emotional support animals in our community. I treat every pet with the same compassion, respect, and care I would want for my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home. I’m currently between professional opportunities, which allows me the time and availability to provide consistent companionship, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day. I truly enjoy being present with animals and love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, senior care, special needs, and administering medications when needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: What sets me aside is the fact I will go above and beyond to treat your animal(s) like my own. I’m here to ease your pet pains. I want you to enjoy the vacation/trip you’re on, without worrying about your animals care. I will absolutely make sure your animal feels at home, comfortable, active, and so loved. I cannot wait to meet your fur babies :) I currently help my husband run his company in Naples so I’m local, flexible, and dependable. I’m up early in the morning so walking or feedings in the AM or not a problem at all. I’ll make sure above and beyond that your animal is taking care of and loved to the fullest. Making them feel most comfortable is top priority. Will accommodate any special requests.
“We have an almost 11 year old boxer who loves his family and his routine. Thanks to David we were actually able to take a vacation. David sent frequent updates and pictures of George and kept us informed how he was doing. When we got home George was calm and happy which is a big indicator for us that all went well. David came a few days before he was going to come stay to take George for a walk so George would be familiar with him, a really thoughtful and great idea. He stayed late on the last day to make sure that George had everything he needed since our flight wasn’t getting in till close to midnight David went above and beyond and we’re so excited that we found him. I would totally recommend him to anybody .”
“This is our 2nd time using Ana and she is just absolutely wonderful. I cannot say enough great things about her. Our little guy loves her so much and she takes such great care of him while we are away. She sends lots of pics and updates and we are never worried being away when he’s in Ana’s care. She gives meds as needed, feeds accordingly, takes our senior pup out many times a day to potty as this is needed for a senior dog, defrosts and measures out his frozen fresh food and monitors his water intake. Senior dogs just need so much more attentive care. She is so sweet and flexible, we had a delayed flight and didn’t get home until 3am and Ana graciously stayed and was happy to accommodate us and stayed with our baby until we got home. She is quick to respond and just a really kind person. Leaving your baby in the care of someone else is always very scary so we are thankful beyond’s words to Ana. Thank you Ana from the bottom of our hearts!!”
“Gabriela loved on our two cats with daily visits and did a fantastic job. She sent photos, was prompt and very helpful. We are grateful to have found her and will definitely be having her care for our kitties again.”
About: I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, plenty of playtime, and attention to their unique needs. With years of experience and a true passion for animals, I go beyond basic pet sitting ensuring your furry friend feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I’m currently working full time but I always make time to help my furry friends who need love and care while their family is away. In my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, health, and happiness, always providing plenty of affection and enrichment. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own space!
“Edward was awesome with our black Lab! He was so happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. Edward also kept our house so clean and it was exactly as we left it! I highly recommend allowing Edward to watch your animals/house! Thank you so much!”
“Dannie was great with my 2 12 yrs old dogs. She kept me updated with pics and text messages and even let them sleep with her! (Means they were very comfortable with her). Came back to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely be calling her for my next trip.”

“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!”
“Jordan is a great dog sitter and has helped us on several occasions! She is very responsive and responsible, which helps us know that Ellie is in great hands. Ellie is a 2.5 year old golden retriever and full of energy and very headstrong, but Jordan does a great job of controlling her on walks and helping get out all of her energy. I highly recommend her and know that you won't be disappointed!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lely Resort
This was my first trip away from Penny and it went really well ! Athena was wonderful !! I felt comfortable giving her a key to my house . You and your dog will instantly love her ! She’s amazing !! She deserves way more money than she charges !! I will only be going with Athena for future trips !! 🙏🐕🐾♥️♥️
This was our second time having Alec watch our two dogs while we went on vacation. Once again he took excellent care of them, giving them tons of love and attention. He kept us updated daily and made sure they each got the comfort they needed while we were away. Our dogs are already missing him. We will absolutely book him again in the future.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lely Resort
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lely Resort on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 574 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lely Resort. 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 Lely Resort 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 Resort 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 Lely Resort 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lely Resort. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
