“Cara was an absolute pleasure to work with and was wonderful with our poodle, Charlie! Her communication was fantastic and she was attentive and followed his schedule. Thank you Cara for everything!”
“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”
“Alec took amazing care of our two pups and our home while we were away. We have a rambunctious puppy that is very shy and an older dog that is very anxious, especially during thunderstorms. Alec was very attentive to their unique personalities and quickly won them both over. He kept us updated the whole trip and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing they were both well cared for. We came back to two happy dogs and a pristine house. We will absolutely book Alec the next time we need someone to watch our dogs.”
About: I have four years of professional experience working with dogs, including three years as a kennel handler and one year training service dogs. My experience includes daily kennel care and handling, canine behavior management, obedience training, and service-dog preparation. I am comfortable working with dogs of varying breeds, temperaments, and training needs. I currently have flexible, 24/7 availability while I work from home and complete additional certifications. This allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day, including overnight stays and extended care when needed. I'm happy to work with your dog's individual routine and schedule. If your dog stays in my home, they'll have plenty of space to enjoy on my 2-acre property, as well as company throughout their stay. I have roommates and another dog in the home, so your dog would have the opportunity to have companionship, provided they are comfortable around other people and dogs. For in-home care at your home, I'm happy to provide whatever care your dog needs. I can follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, training, and general companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
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.
“This is our second time having Gabriela house sit for Finn. Once again she did an excellent job taking care of him (including giving daily medications) and left our home clean and tidy. We will use her again!!”
“Riley did a great job communicating with me during the stay. She sent me pictures everyday. She did a great job taking care of my two large dogs and we’re looking forward to future sitting.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats including my own. I’m reliable and reasonable. I’m very excited to watch / care for your fur babies!! I’m currently a freshman in college who’s hours are 9am-12:00Pm. I Work part time and can fit visits in between school and work with time. I care for pets as they need to be cared for. I meet any needs. I will even sit and love on them a while.
“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!”
“Christian is the best house sitter ever! Kobe and Sam love him. He sent us photos and took them for walks regularly. We will book him for all future trips we may schedule. Thank you, Christian!”

I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!
“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: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat, I have a dog of my own a little old lady named fefe. I also have worked at a doggy daycare, all sizes and breeds so I’m confident I can provide great care for your pets. Im working at a small donut shop I don’t work long hours so I have time to walk your pets, feed, and do drop ins to check up on them and if needed overnight stays as well. I also have a dog of my own and taking care of her is a part of my daily routine. I live in a home so I have my own room , spacious living room and a dog of my own that can be kept separate while I watch over yours.
“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!”

About: I’m comfortable with cats & dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My guy is a wonderful handful so I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—not just feeding them and letting them out..but giving them attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Just like I would do for my own I am currently working 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, so Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday are the days I have the most flexibility for you and your furry ones. These are the days I can dedicate the most time and attention to your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around their individual needs. I work until 6pm so night time can be available if needed. I have a dog named BlackJack who is blast and high energy, so I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, and I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and videos (if you would like) so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing!
“David house sat our 120 lb. German Shepherd for a week. During that week, we got daily updates with pictures of Max playing in the back yard. The house was clean and Max was in great upon arriving home. I have already inquired about future dog / house sitting this summer. I would not hesitate calling David and asking him to house sit Max.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lely Resort is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lely Resort
Cecilia’s extremely personable and caring. Sophie was very comfortable and happy as evidenced by the daily pictures/videos we received. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our new little girl with Cecilia and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.
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 !! 🙏🐕🐾♥️♥️
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 599 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.
