“Joanna took great care of our cat, Henry, while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and even came on extra days to see him. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Henry was well taken care of. We came home to a happy, healthy cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I would definitely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”

“Sabrina was beyond phenomenal! From the first meet and greet, we immediately felt confident that she would be responsible to watch our home and our cat. She was timely, organized and clean, communicative, and sent us the cutest photo updates. She is also very detail oriented and shared a few updates on our cat to ensure we were aware of a few habits that could be indicative of a developing ear infection. We cannot wait to hire Sabrina again in the future!”

“Melissa is a wonderful cat sitter! She was reliable, caring, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat was happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciated the updates care updates and pictures. I would definitely book with her again!”

She was conscientious of our needs and very respectful of our home. We loved receiving updates and pictures during her stay and she was always quick to respond whenever we would reach out. We found Hailey to be diligent, trustworthy and prompt. We have already scheduled her next stay.”

About: Back in 2014, my parents adopted my sweet Sadie girl! Ever since then, I have learned the responsibility of caring for my girl and giving her all the lovings! She has led me to caring for other dogs by walking and feeding them at their owners request. I’m a full-time teacher for FCPS, but am looking for something to do after school and on the weekends. I am available 7 days a week other than when my brewery that I work at part-time schedules me. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Saturday and Sunday. I can also be available on weekdays in the late afternoon. Once summer comes around, I will be very flexible and will adjust to your schedule. I am more than willing to bring your puppy to my fenced in courtyard at my apartment complex. I am comfortable putting dogs into crates as well and feeding.

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.

I'll treat your pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time at a Christian outreach camp, but my schedule is flexible and I receive it about a month in advance.

About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Haylee was amazing for our little guy Harry!! She was always quick to answer & sent photos for us to see :) highly recommend & will rebook in the future if we go on another trip !”

“Used Lynne while I was away. She was very responsive. She looked after my cat. Feed her her treats. She brought in my packages that where left on my front porch from Amazon. She kept me up to date on her visits. Lynne is reliable and has a very sweet personality. If I wasn't moving, I would use her again. I do recommend using Lynne for your furbabies.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and as a pet mom to four dogs of my own, I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My family includes an 11-year-old chocolate Labrador, an 8-year-old white Labrador, a 7-year-old black Labrador, and a 6-year-old mini Frenchie, so I have hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and stages of life, including senior dogs. I’m attentive, dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping in for a visit, feeding, refreshing water, giving extra attention, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I also understand how important communication is when you’re away, so you can expect dependable updates and photos and the peace of mind of knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule offers me the flexibility to make pet care a priority throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime and companionship, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s established routine whenever possible. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how important consistency is, especially when you’re trusting someone else with their care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine will always come first. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, crates, gates and household routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and never take unnecessary risks with pets in my care. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a genuine part of my life, not just a job. I currently have two cats of my own who I’ve raised and care for every day, and I also have experience caring for three dogs—feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and love. My first dog, Dexter, is where my love for caring for animals really began. I walked him every day, fed him every night, bathed him, played with him, and loved him enough for every star in the sky. ❤️ I know how important pets are to their families because mine mean the world to me. When someone trusts me with their pet, I want them to feel confident knowing their baby is being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’m currently a student and attend classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m especially available Thursdays through Sundays, and I can often accommodate different times or last-minute needs. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m always happy to work with you to find a time that fits both your schedule and your pet’s routine! I understand that trusting someone with your pet also means trusting them in your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will always be respectful of your space, follow any instructions you leave for me, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. When caring for your cat, I’ll keep their environment safe, clean, and comfortable while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat and your home are being well cared for while you’re away. 🐱🤍

The average cost of Cat Sitting in The Villages is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 per visit. 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.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
