“Emily was fantastic with my 10 month old pup, who is usually very timid with strangers, but warmed up to Emily quickly. Emily is very reliable, kind, and would highly recommend her.”
“Zoe was great! She was very responsive when messaging. My dog takes a little for her to warm up to someone but Zoe was able to get her to warm up quickly and even got her to cuddle. I would recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“Justine is so amazing with our pup. We use her every time we need someone to stay at our place when we travel. Justine is so lovely to work with and Hattie loves spending time with her!”

“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”
“Shan was seriously amazing. She went above and beyond when there was an emergency with our pipes leaking and she took such great care of our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to have her as a sitter again. Thank you Shan!”

“Wanda and Steve are FABULOUS! I have 5 dogs and they all love them. Great communication. Take great care of my home too. Watered plants and I have a ton. So nice to come home to happy dogs, a clean house and plants alive and well in 90+degree temperatures. I couldn't be more pleased.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took incredible care of our two fur babies. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and we could tell our pets were well-loved and comfortable while we were away. She sent us great updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also extremely accommodating when my flights were delayed and cancelled. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets and houses for friends and family on many occasions and would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I will be available as often as needed to take care of your pets. I can be flexible to work with you for your pet’s needs. I feed and walk my dog and my past clients dogs twice daily. Additionally, I provide enrichment play for both cats and dogs each day I watch them.
“Hannah cared for my dogs for 2 weeks in a row. One of the dogs got injured by attacking a squirrel and she tended to his wounds. He healed well and the wounds were almost unnoticeable when I arrived home. Thank you!!”
“I had a great experience with Erin & Matthew as my pet sitters. They took excellent care of both my home and Banco while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, it made it easy to see that Banco was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Everything was handled responsibly and with attention to detail, and I came back to a home that was just as I left it. I’d absolutely trust Erin & Matthew again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!”
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! She watched my two dogs overnight. My newest pup had some anxiety and acted aggressively and Ashley was great, she kept me updated and worked with Oliver to make him more comfortable. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Villa Heights is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Heights
Stacy did an amazing job tending to our dog while we were away. We were naturally nervous not knowing how our dog would do with us away but she ensured he kept his routine and she kept him happy doing all the things that he loves. We were very impressed with her care and her attentiveness to our sweet dog. Stacy sent photos and videos throughout our trip as well, which we loved. I would highly recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
We feel so at-ease leaving our pets and home with Justine! Our anxious dog has grown to absolutely love her and it makes our trips so much more enjoyable knowing that she is with him! I can trust her to follow directions we’ve left- which makes being away super easy.
I highly recommend Lucy as a dog sitter. She is experienced with senior dogs and can be relied upon to administer injectable and oral medications on schedule. She is very responsive and follows directions well. We arrived home to our very happy and well taken care of spoiled chihuahua.
Grace was amazing with my babies! She stayed in constant communication with me and sent me lots of updates and pictures. My dogs are a bit high maintenance but my mind was at ease knowing my babies were safe and cared for! I will for sure be using her again. Thank you Grace!
Oscar and Elmo said they really liked Aelish. They said she was very accommodating, took good care of them, fed them and snuggled with him. They were very happy with her services and want to use her again in the future. I was also happy with her services and with the way she stayed in communication. This let me know everything was going well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Villa Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Villa Heights on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Villa Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Villa Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Villa Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Villa Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Villa Heights. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
