“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!”

About: When our sweet dog of 14 years passed away Nov 2017 I started volunteering as a dog walker at Homeward Pet in Woodinville where I received rigorous dog walking training. While working there I enjoyed the interaction with many different types and temperaments of dogs. A true blessing being able to give them love, protection, reassurance and fun when they most needed it. I've always loved animals my entire life and would very much enjoy taking care of your precious baby. Looking forward to seeing your dogs smiling face I'm retired and have extra time to spend having fun with new pets and helping neighbors with thier babies. Plus I live right here in Harbor Hills. Visiting your fur baby in your home, using all leashes, harnesses and collers provided by family. All babies will need to be secured in golf cart.
“Denny and Robert always makes sure our pup is well taken care of! Last time we dropped him off, he was literally squeaking with excitement as we turned onto their street. Our dog LOVES staying with them.”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“This is the second vacation that we’ve left Benji with Debbie and she is the BEST! Her home is perfectly setup for doggies and her little guy Teddy is the greatest playmate!! I will absolutely continue to book Debbie as often as possible!”
“Rebecca did a great job caring for my fur baby. She even sent me pics and updates so I could relax knowing she was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Felt like my dog was well taking care of. From our conversation prior to departing I felt comfortable leaving Kane with you. The pictures shows that he was comfortable in his surroundings which made it easier for me and my spouse to handle what we went to do. I recommending you to all my friends and co-workers .”
“Found Charlie because of all the positive reviews. Bonnie was there a week and was well taken care of. He played Frisbee with her in the yard. Kept me updated during the week. I would rebook again.”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”
“Melissa and Mike made my timid Lucy feel welcome and safe. They made sure she could find a safe spot when she was scared and let her cuddle with them when she was sleepy. They sent pictures and kept me informed on how well she was doing. I’d definitely use them again!”
About: I have taken care of lot's of animals my whole entire life both dog and cat pet sitting for years. All of my friends, family and patients have relied on me to take care of their Pets for short and long periods. I am home during the day and especially at night -so it is Very easy for me to include them in my daily schedule. I am available most weekends and holidays. I have a front and backyard -the back has a linai and a pool but it is enclosed. I have access to multiple fields nearby to my house. I allow dogs to swim in the pool with the owner's permission. My house flooring has no carpet so messes are easy to clean up. Requirement: For the safety of our future dogs we will be sitting,we require proof of up to date vaccinations and flea/tick treatment. A copy or picture of your pets most recent veterinarian visit summary will be fine.
“AMAZING is the only way to describe the services provided. Not only did they watch our dog, but they are helping guide us along the way with our puppy. Jackie's services are top notch and we recommend her highly.”
“Adrienne has watched Buster and Franky several times and it has been a great experience each time! They love being with Adrienne and Steve and feel right at home. They are treated as part of the family.”
“Rosie had an amazing time staying at Korie's house and we will definitely use again. Korie had excellent communication and sent pictures and videos of her time there. Don't hesitate to use Korie for your pet, you will not be sorry!!”
About: I've had dogs for over 60 years. All my dogs have lived long and happy lives. Animals are the best creation by God! I have a heart for all animals but I truly love dogs. I want to help others by being the best caregiver out there to leave their fur babies with. I'm picky and understand the need of someone you can trust while you are away. Boarding in a kennel is not an option for me and I understand safety is paramount along with quality care. I have a Shit-zu and a Chihuahua whom both are my life and my husband always says: If he was a to come back in another life as a dog, he wants to come to my house! Best description I can think of for what they mean to me and the care they receive.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in The Villages is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Villages
This was my Hunter’s first time in being boarded at someone’s house since we lost our other dog. It was just him and Debbie took wonderful care of him. You could tell she had a lot of experience with boarding dogs, and Hunter was very comfortable in her home, and I felt comfortable leaving him there too. She definitely will be our “go to person” for Hunter!

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.
