“Second time we have booked with Lori, and again everything was perfect. She sent us lots of photos, and informative updates about our little Ducky. She makes us feel peace of mind when we are away. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Berkley is amazing! She is patient and allowed my little girl to warm up to her and gain trust. Berkley also responds quickly to any questions and has made me feel comfortable entrusting my little toy poodle with her.”
“We've used Rover before but this was our first time booking Jessica, and she did a great job! During the stay, the front door wasn't opening the way it should have and as outlined, but Jessica handled it like a pro and figured it out without any issues. We really appreciated her problem, solving attitude rather than just giving up. When we returned home to Betty Boop, she seemed happy and perfectly fine, always a good sign! We'd definitely book Jessica again. Reliable, resourceful, and great with our pup.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“Teri did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She was punctual, cared for their needs, and cleaned up after them each day. Teri took the extra time to play with them and sent a video of two happy cats. She also brought in the paper daily. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Melissa and her hubby Mike were a delight to meet and true animal lovers, they took wonderful care of our Ellie, an 80lb old English Sheepdog. We were in a last minute bind and were going to be gone for 10 hours and wanted to make sure our pup was checked on and let out, and Mike played her and sent great pics too, which was most comforting... We will surely be using them again very soon. Thank you Melissa & Mike!”
“Hailey was amazing! I was able to relax the whole time I was away. She was prompt and went above and beyond to hang out and play with my dog. Seeing all the pictures each time made me so happy! Definitely recommend!”
“Carol Ann does such a wonderful job. You can tell by her interactions and the pictures she sends just how much she loves animals and loves her job. We love having her take care of our dog when we go away.”
“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!”
About: I love animals and have always been the neighborhood dog walker since I was young, I now live in the Villages and have two dogs. I love taking them to the local dog park and would happy to bring some of that love I have for them into your pets lives! I am very flexible with my hours and am willing to drive to your house to walk or watch your pet. I require at least a one day notice. My biggest accomplishment for house/dog sitting would be for your dog to feel as comfortable as possible in your home while you are out of town!
About: I've been blessed to have had dogs and cats most of my entire life. This is the first time I haven't had my own dog and I miss her daily. Pet sitting fills a void in my heart and I will do everything to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. I recently relocated back to California from Lake Lure, North Carolina. My entire community in Western NC was devastated by Hurricane Helene and I was evacuated and returned home near my family. I have enjoyed all of the amazing dogs and animals I have had the pleasure of sitting in the past through Rover.com. Now that I am back in CA I would like to continue my work with animals. I am a responsible caring person who loves animals and am currently available to help with your pets in Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, or Santa Ynez Valley. I would never trust a client's dog off a leash. Your animals will never be left alone and always escorted on their walks, unless otherwise told by the owner. Your pets will enjoy the comforts of their own home and be safe while you are away.
“Melissa was a true gem taking care of Sage. Sage greeted her every day at the door excited to see Melissa. Melissa was so sweet to bring in packages that were delivered. I would highly recommend Melissa for any pet care needed”
About: Dog care: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and will treat your dog with love the way I treat my own. I understand their need for walking and play. I also have experience with older dogs and large dogs! I will walk your dog, feed him/her, clean up after him, administer meds, and, of course, play! I have pet sat for friends, family, and Rover clients many times. Kitty care: I love cats and would love to care for yours in your home! I am not afraid to clean a litter box!! I will feed and play with your kitty, too! More than one kitty is cool and I can give meds if necessary. I love animals and will take very good care of your babies! I am a retired teacher from the Federal Department of Justice and can be trusted. I just got back from full time RV living and started Rover again. I look forward to meeting some new fur babies! I’m retired and home most of the time. I’ll be able to care for your pet easily! When I have a pet to care for, they are my main focus. I will follow the routine which has been established between the owner and their pet. I make sure they are safe, fed on time, and that they’ve received their proper amount of exercise.
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - The Villages
Berkley was wonderful, she had great communication and treated our baby with so much love and affection and was very playful with her and also went above and beyond when we were delayed getting home she stepped up and made a couple extra trips to take care of her. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in The Villages on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 562 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across The Villages. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Villages. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
