“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“Our dog, Harper, is very timid around people, but did well in Bill and Krista's welcoming home. They frequently sent updates to assure us she was settling in and we were able to travel with peace of mind knowing Harper was in good hands.”
“This is my second time having Maxine dog sit for my lil pup, and I’m honestly so grateful I found her. She sends pictures and videos every single day, which is such a comforting bonus when I’m away from him. I was really reluctant at first about using a sitter who wasn’t family, but she’s made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. My pup has a blast with the other dogs she cares for, and the toys plus the spacious outdoor area give him plenty to do. You can tell she truly loves what she does. I feel completely at ease leaving him with her, and I definitely plan to keep coming back.”
“Krista has been watching my pup for over a year now and she’s probably stayed with her 8 times or so. I cannot say enough good things about her! Whether it’s for a quick weekend or over a week her communication is top notch. Her pupdates are the highlight of my day! Don’t even get me started on her pictures. Some of the best pics I have of my dog came from Krista. She goes above and beyond to care for my fur baby and even cleaned her raised food bowls for me so that they came back nicer than I left them. It’s definitely the little things that always make me schedule repeatedly with her! I can’t imagine leaving my pup with anyone else.”
“I can’t thank Stephanie & Jean enough for taking such wonderful care of my two sweet fur baby boys over the Thanksgiving break. It’s always hard to leave them, but I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. They provided updates and made sure they were happy and well cared for. I came home to two relaxed and content pets, which says it all! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We will be calling on them again in the future for our pet sitting needs. Thank you, Michel H.”
“Shayla is wonderful. Shaggy came home happy and full of zest and for an old dog, that's great. Shayla's home has plenty of room for playing and exploring (something Shaggy does a lot of). She sent me many pictures while I was out of town and they are all keepers.”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”
“This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.”
“Susan is an amazing care giver!! She goes above and beyond!! She is so loving and caring with my baby Ripley!! Ripley was happy and relaxed staying with Susan Communication was terrific!!! And most of all my little guy trusted Susan!!! Recommend her 150% Won’t ever leave my boy with anyone except Susan!!”
“This was our second stay with Denny and our pup instantly recognized her and was wagging his tail because he was so excited to stay with Denny and her family again! He absolutely LOVES her!”
“Kailyn was awesome! She sent us photos and updates frequently! Our girls loved her! Our standard poodle struggles with separation anxiety and she made her stay extra special and comfortable! Would highly recommend! 10/10”
“This was the first time I’ve left our fur babies with someone who wasn’t family. Debbie took great care of them and gave me updates about their stay with photos. It eased my mind about leaving them.”
“Jerarlin was super! Cooper took to her right away. She took us on short notice but was very accommodating. Sent some great pics of Cooper having a good time. This was our first time using Rover and Jerarlin. We will definitely use her again if she will have us.”

Debra took exceptional care of our dog, Jasper, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. Throughout Jasper's stay, Debra kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Jasper looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and it was obvious he received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. We truly appreciate the love and dedication Debra showed toward Jasper. We would not hesitate to trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Thank you, Debra, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in The Villages on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across The Villages. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of The Villages sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which The Villages landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their The Villages home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your The Villages.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your The Villages sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
