“Sthepany fue mucho más de lo que yo esperaba, Milo estuvo muy feliz, sus hijos y su esposo son muy cariñoso, todo el tiempo me tuvieron muy informada y documentada con fotos y videos, sin duda volveré, los recomiendo 100%”
“Tifany is incredible. She has made lulu feel right at home while we were away and provided tons of photos and videos to ease mom’s mind! With lulu being so young and a puppy, we weren’t sure how she was going to do her first night away but we will absolutely be back with Tifany. This was great for socialization for a new puppy! Lulu has the best time. Thank you Tif!”
About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Timmy was happy and exhausted after his day with Chrissy. He has energy to burn and he played with the other doggies and wore himself out. Came home, had dinner & off to his bed for a few hours! Thanks Chrissy for taking good care of him. And thanks for the great gift bag you gave us. We will call you again 😊”
“Miss Bee had a great doggy day care with Krista B! Krista sent pics and updates of BeeBee hanging out on the sofa and cooling off in the pool. Thank you, Krista - we're looking forward to our next stay with you.”

“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
About: I have 20+ years of experience. I started caring for other people’s pets as well as my own when I was 9 years old. I have experience in basic training, leash walking, interactive playtime, potty schedule, food amount per size, dietary restrictions and medication needs, and bathing. I can accommodate drop offs and pick ups in 30-minute slots from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. I am a virtual high school teacher with a flexible schedule. I spend most of my days at home, allowing me to provide your 4-legged family member with unlimited supervision, playtime/rest, and potty breaks. My work-from-home schedule is 10:00am-6:30pm. If I were to leave, it would be to the gym. However, I would do my best to plan accordingly so I do not have outside commitments when pet sitting. My goal is to treat your pet as my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for. My home has a fenced yard for the loving furbabies to play. It is also a quiet neighborhood so the walks are relaxing. When pets stay with me they have their own guest room which is also my office so they will be with me all day and night. There are 2 XXL crates (approx. 4’x3’), 2 large, and 1 medium which can be prepped for use if needed or recommended by owner.
“Mary was amazing with my dog Bella, who can be anxious in new settings. At our ‘meet and greet’ Mary came up with suggestions to ensure the visit would be successful. Because of Mary’s planning and patience, by the time I left her house Bella was relaxed and laying down. Mary and her calm, beautifully behaved dog made the house an oasis. While I was gone, Mary walked Bella when she became anxious and when I arrived to get her, Bella was completely relaxed. You can see the love that Mary has for animals and how well she reads and understands them. I am already planning to book with Mary again!”
“This was Chloe's first day care with Laura. Laura was great. Chloe makes no secret about whether she likes a Rover or not. And this stay she was obviously happy with. We already have the next stay booked for the Memorial Day weekend. Thanks Laura!”
About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I am respectful and considerate, and I spoil and pet them all the time. I have been taking care of animals practically since I was a child. I am aware that they have important basic needs to consider, such as bathroom time, meal time, walk time. If they need special care or to take any medication, I am also happy to fulfill them. I work remotely from home, so I'm available to provide objective, dedicated, and responsible care. I can answer your questions via text message. And if you decide to, give me a call; I'll be happy to help your furry friends. Abrir en They will be in my constant company. I have a living room with a dining room and an additional room, spacious spaces, and a small balcony in my apartment if they like to look outside. This would be accompanied by me, of course. They will never be alone. I am very affectionate with them. I can follow the routine you have planned (as similar as possible) to your pet's so that your absence is bearable and pleasant. Just write to me and tell me what you are looking for. I will be happy to help you.
“Katie (and her family!) are the BESTESSESSESS!! This was the first time we left our puppy with a stranger or ever used Rover so I was a bit anxious. She did a meet n greet with us to relieve some nerves. She sent pictures every day. Each day Riley went she was pulling me out of the car tail wagging running to the front door. I'm so grateful for Katie, we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our puppy was safe and being loved on!!!!”
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
“Kailyn was great with Marshall! Very warm and welcoming - excited to have him. Her communication is prompt and professional. She is pleasant to deal with and made drop off and pick up very easy for my husband. We can tell Marshall had a great day! We will be using Kailyn again soon!”

Kelicathran was so nice and accommodating. We never had time for a meet and greet but it was as if she already knew us. She welcomed all of us and took excellent care of our girls. We loved the pics. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your The Villages commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 476 sitters in The Villages, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
