“I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my Betty Boop, stopping by three times on Wednesday to let her out in the yard and spend quality time with her. This is our second Betty watch. Jessica is incredibly responsive, answering questions quickly, sending updates and photos throughout the day, and putting my mind completely at ease while I was away. Which helps a tremendously as Betty and I don't often spend time apart, ha! Her availability has been a lifesaver. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves the animals she cares for. Betty Boop came running to greet me, happy and content, clearly having enjoyed all the attention and yard time. Reliable, kind, communicative, and so much more, she's the real deal. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, look no further!”
“Lori was incredible! Leaving us lots of pictures and reviews for the day. We couldn't of found anyone as perfect as Lori. We will definitely be using her in the future”
“Joanna was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her for any pet care needs on Rover. She took amazing care of my dogs, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was kind, professional, and very prompt in responding to every message, which made communication easy and stress-free. Joanna clearly knows how to navigate the Rover app and used it to provide excellent check-ins and check-outs, always with great photo updates that showed my dogs were happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Teri took care of our two cats and did an excellent job. She followed all instructions and took the time to play with and engage with our cats. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She also cleaned up after the cats. Thank you, Teri and Rover!”
“Sabrina took such good care of my dog Lucy. Usually she has a lot of anxiety when I’m gone but not this time time! I received check in photos and reports regularly and the extra photos and texts helped put my mind at ease. An e tra bonus was how clean and tidy everything looked upon my return. Won’t hesitate to use Sabrina again.”
“Amazing, thank you for taking such good care of my boy! Shay goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe and always keeps you in the loop. I've gotten some great photos of my pup this week. Thank you again, Shay!”
“Berkley made sure our precious family member was well cared for while we were out of town. She kept us posted every time she visited with him and he was happy and healthy when we got home. Her communication was excellent. We have one happy pup and I know I would rebook with her in the future in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything ❤️”
“Nikki did everything we asked and more. We will definitely use her again when we travel. We have one cat that hides from everyone and the very first day she was at the house, she sent a picture of her petting that cat. She is a “cat whisperer” for sure.”
“Valle was amazing! Blossom was timid and skittish but she continued to try to engage and sent me photos. We even came before we left so she knew Blossom would know her and this was in addition to the meet and great! She even filled up the birdseed which was super nice. Very kind person. Highly recommend her!”
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Melissa was absolutely great. This was our first time contacting her and she scheduled a meet and greet with us the same day. Her communication is great and she really took the time to understand our caregiving instructions. She sent photos of our fur baby smiling when she dropped in to visit him. We will definitely contact her again!”
“Thank God for Melissa… She took excellent care of my Kitties even though they are scared of strangers. I was out of the country during the cold snap and she walked into a very cold house, but got my thermostat working so it stayed at 70°… not in the 40”s she walked into and let me know what was going on every day she came. Everything was clean and taken care of. I will definitely call her again when I am traveling.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have extensive experience caring for cats with medical needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, feeding tubes, and medications. I also grew up caring for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two cats, Winnie and Luna, who are incredibly loved and spoiled. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption. Helping animals feel safe, loved, and confident enough to find their forever homes is incredibly rewarding, and it’s one of my greatest passions. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet them! As a teacher, my availability changes throughout the year! During summer, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide daytime, and extended care. During the school year, I’m available on evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to caring for your pets when you need a helping hand! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and favorite activities, so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, playtime, enrichment, and attention, while always respecting your home and following your care instructions closely. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Angela takes wonderful care of our two kitten boys. One is rather shy and he warmed right up to her. Angela keeps me informed of what’s going on and sends pictures regularly. So glad to have her take care of them”

First time using a pet sitter for my cats, I was very nervous about it but Berkeley was the absolute perfect fit! My cats loved her immediately and she was not only punctual, communicative, professional and friendly, but also went above and beyond to care for my animals and leave me confident I had made the right choice. Will definitely be booking her for all my future vacations! ♡♡

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in The Villages on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
