“Athena did a good job watching our dogs. She was kind to send pictures and updates throughout her time with them. We appreciate that she accommodated our late request for pet sitting.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
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 senior in school who’s hours are 8am-12:30Pm. 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.
“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: Growing up with multiple pets in my life I have experience with animals through all stages of life. The excitement of a new puppy and the meticulous care for a senior. I am currently working 5 days a week, but have availability in early mornings and before 6pm. After 6pm I am available after 10pm with availability all night. I am very diligent with staying on a schedule every day to ensure your animal gets the love it needs! When pet-sitting, my priority is to create a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. I’ll stick to their usual routine to minimize stress, ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I also aim to build trust through consistent, gentle interactions, giving them plenty of attention, while respecting their space and needs. You can rest easy knowing I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection as I would my own.
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.
“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.”
“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 Joana, a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Naples, FL. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and vacation care for friends and neighbors’ pets. I always make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide attentive care by making sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given plenty of attention, and treated like family. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with animals of all personalities. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a loving and dependable environment. My schedule may vary due to my part-time job, but I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate pet owners’ needs. If I’m working a morning shift, I’m typically available in the mornings until 10 AM. On days I’m not working, I usually have full morning availability. If I’m not scheduled for a morning shift, I’m generally available until 1 PM in the afternoon, and on my days off I’m available throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability for the week — I’ll always do my best to help! :) I have a fenced yard and two babies. My dog is super friendly and love meeting new animals, your pet will never feel lonely with my pets :)
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.
“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.”
“Amber was fantastic! We knew she was the perfect fit for our sweet boy during the initial meeting, as she immediately was speaking with him and showing all the love. We very much liked that she stayed in our home while we were away, as he is accustomed to having someone working from home about 50% of the month. It gave us a lot of relief knowing that he had genuine caring company while we were away, especially during the start of the storm season. She also sent us pictures of our handsome boy so we were able to still see his squishy face while we were in Australia. We will definitely be booking with Amber again in the future!!”
“Victoria is terrific. She spent 7 days with my dog and cat as an in house sitter. Communication while I was away was just right - I especially enjoyed the photos and videos. All in order with the house when I arrived home - maybe even better than I left it! Most important, my pets were happy and contented.”
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
“Good person. Gracie, our Golden loved him, very cordial, and concerned about her welfare. Did exactly what we ask, our first time with someone staying at our apt., didn’t want her to be boarded, he communicated with e everyday, it was a pleasure!”
“Nina stayed in our house five nights and watched our two year old frenchie. Our dog is super needy and needs a lot of attention and cuddles. He is on three different medications as well. Nina was beyond amazing! She sent more than enough pictures and updates and was always available when needed. She took him potty frequently, played with him, and many walks! She made us feel very reassured and we knew he was in awesome hands! I will definitely be booking her for future trips!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lely Resort
Alec took excellent care of our 12 yr old and 4 yr old dogs while we were out of town for a few days. They got lots of walks, cuddle time, and play time. Our older dog usually gets depressed when we travel but instead she played and had a grand time with Alec. Highly recommended!
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 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.
