“Elizabeth was the perfect pet sitter for our cat who always hides from pet sitters. She made sure that she was eating, drinking and well each visit and even managed to snap a photo of the elusive creature-though blurry I could tell it was her! Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Linda is great with our pets and always does so much to help us out when we’re out of town. She sends photos of our pets and does a great job communicating with us. We’ve never had as good of a pet sitter as Linda! We’d recommend her to everyone. Thank you, Linda for all of your help.”

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. People joke that I liked animals more than humans! I adore the way pets see us as their everything, and it brings me so much joy to help them feel happy, healthy, and loved. I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the one to take care of them. Always treating them like royalty. I even love making homemade food and finding new ways to keep them healthy and thriving. Beyond personal experience, I also worked in the pet industry at a veterinary clinic for two years. During that time, I gained hands on experience with administering vaccines, drawing blood, and handling pets with care and patience. With me, your pets will be treated with genuine love, respect, and the same dedication I give my own. I currently work from home and have nearly full availability, Monday through Sunday, allowing me to spend plenty of time caring for and engaging with your pets. I have a friendly older dog named Luna, who can keep your pet company, and a cat named Chiquita, who keeps to herself. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have a spacious area for walks, an enclosed patio, and can crate a dog if needed. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and calm environment, ensuring every pet feels secure, cared for, and has companionship throughout their stay.
About: Hello everyone! I am Cortenay, and from the age of 10 I have been caring passionately for animals. I have always felt that I have a special connection with them and understand them. Finally in my early twenties I began caring for them professionally at Mulberry Grove animal hospital. I started in the hospitals boarding wing where I provided personal around the clock care to all of the beautiful fur babies that came to stay. I fell in love with this being that caring for pets has always been my first love. My final chapter in the veterinary field was when I was promoted to a veterinary technician, where I administered medication and cared for special needs pets as well. In conclusion, I have made the decision to step out of the corporate world of care and actually be able to give "up close and personal" care for someones best friend/friends. Where we will be happy and comfortable together in the comforts of home. My schedule is open! If I have a spot open at the time and day that's convenient for you and your furry friend, I will gladly make it happen. I have a beautiful fluffy frenchie, and a short haired pointer. They are extremely friendly and structured dogs. My home is very spacious, and I have plenty of room for tail wagging visitors.
“Isabel is an incredible pet sitter! She was able to take care of my cats at the last minute and would send regular updates about how they were doing throughout the trip! I will be using her in the future!”
About: Hello, I am a pet owner of 3 dogs and 1 cat. I have been taking care of my family and friends animals for over 20 years and love pets of any kind. I am available to pet sit, walk, feed and bathe your fur babies if needed! I currently have open availability weekdays and weekends. I am available for daytime or night time care when needed. I am very flexible with bookings! I prefer to care for pets in their homes due to having animals or my own. I am able to clean up and keep the environment safe as they are used to.
About: I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. They are family, and my goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for cats and dogs for most of my life. I currently have three cats and three dogs, and I’ve had many other pets throughout my life as well, so being around animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I’m more than willing to care for homes with one pet, multiple pets, or different types of animals. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I’ve always been very caring by nature. People who know me often say I care deeply about animals and treat them like family. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and what they enjoy so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m definitely a bit of a “helicopter” pet mom with my own animals, so I know how reassuring it is to get updates when you’re away. Because of that, I’m always happy to send plenty of photo updates and messages and can send as many pictures as you’d like so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and administering medications if needed. I’ve had pets with different health issues over the years, so I’m familiar with giving a variety of medications and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or health. Friends and family have trusted me to watch their pets over the years, and I truly treat every animal like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and time for play, enrichment, and companionship so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and what they enjoy so they feel relaxed and happy while in my care. I treat every pet the same way I treat my own animals, giving them attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting their boundaries and space if they prefer a calmer environment. I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they’re safe and doing well, and I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any other needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone attentive and responsible looking after your pets, so I always aim to provide that same level of care.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tavares
Absolutely the best, kindest, and loving caretakers we have had. They saved our vacation for us by taking on the job when our sitter quit without notice until I called her Wednesday night and we were to leave on Friday morning. They happily accepted and we got to leave as scheduled. Highly recommend Dennis and Rover.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
