“Olivia was the absolute best. She did such a wonderful job taking care of my Maddie. She did a great job communicating and sent me daily updates. I highly recommend her. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet pup Olivia ❤️”

“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.”
“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 .”
“Ana was an excellent sitter for Zizi. She was gentle with Zizi who immediately responded to her warmth. Ana walked Zizi regularly throughout the day and sent pictures of their adventures. I was gone for 12 hours and felt very comfortable that Ana was taking very good care of Zizi. I would highly recommend Ana.”

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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lely Resort
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.
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.

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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lely Resort
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lely Resort is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $102 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.
As of October 2026, there are 588 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 , 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.
