About: I’ve dog sat, cat sat, volunteered at shelters and work at a pet resort. I’ve have years of experience and all the care and love to show and give them. I work everyday 6-2 or 6-3 at pet paradise. Im hoping to start thing as a business thing and take it on full time as soon as I can get enough clients the better and the more available I’ll become. I will not be having your pets at my home unfortunately, that’s not allowed. As I put on my profile I am able to stop by for visits and walks and playtimes.

About: I’ve always had a way with creating special bonds with animals. I have a year of volunteer experience at the Lee county animal shelter. Taking care of animals and supporting the people who love them is such a privilege to be part of their care. I am currently working part time mornings, so I assure you I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies in the evenings. I provide loving, reliable care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, maintaining their routine while respecting the homeowners rules and wishes.

“Absolutely satisfied with them! My sweet kitty only had a day with them, but they were so communicative. Sent me pictures and documented on paper how he was during his stay. I was very nervous because I have never used a service like this before. Completely calmed me with their attention service. I would definitely recommend and use them again!”

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and volunteered extensively at several animal shelters. I’ve trained young and old animals and taken in dogs, cats, and horses of all ages! I’m in school so my schedule is very open as well. I’m currently in school, so my schedule is unusually open. I’m free to do home visits, walks, or check ins almost any time of the day or night! I provide attentive care by following each pet’s routine and making sure they are getting enough exercise and attention as well as safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: Throughout my high school and college experiences, I have fulfilled my volunteer hours working with local humane socialites! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Having earned my bachelor’s in psychology, I was able to take a course about therapy using animals! Currently I am a fine dining server for a restaurant only open for dinner! So I am only ever unavailable for 4-5 hours most days, but can make stops before and after going to work!! My schedule has made me very flexible, and I would love to help those take care of their fur babies who may need an extra hand! I am currently employed at a fine dining seafood restaurant job that is open 4PM- 10PM everyday! I wake up early and have the whole day available until my nightly shift. And, I never would mind making a stop after I get off work! I just moved recently, so I am scouting 2 cats myself. With that, I recently moved out of my ex- lover’s house where he had a cat and 2 dogs. There was a completely fenced in backyard for the puppies to play, and plenty of space for the cat to roam! I’m my new house, we have an extra room that will be dedicated to the kitty’s and will be called the “cat room”, while we also have quite a large back patio where they can freely roam and get fresh air!!

About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life, so understanding what makes dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for is second nature to me. Instead of basic sitting, I focus on giving pets my full attention through reliable daily walks and safe, stress-free transport. Having spent a lifetime owning and caring for dogs, I treat every animal I work with with the same patience and love I give my own. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including managing and administering daily medications with ease. I work part-time as an aesthetician and nail tech and take my college classes online full-time, which leaves me with a super flexible daily schedule. Since I study from home, I have plenty of time between classes and work shifts to dedicate to pet care. Fitting in regular drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day is really easy for me, so your pet will always get timely, hands-on attention. Growing up with animals my whole life, keeping pets safe and comfortable is just automatic for me. When I’m out on walks or transporting pets, I always double-check harnesses, keep leashes secure, and make sure cats are safely in their carriers. Since I have years of experience giving medications and reading animal body language, I stay super focused on how they’re feeling so nothing catches us off guard. I treat every pet with the same constant care and eye for safety that I’ve always given my own

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in professional dog daycare and boarding, including managing an entire daycare facility and overseeing the daily care, safety, and well-being of the dogs in our care. My experience includes supervising group play, coordinating daily routines, monitoring dog behavior, providing individualized attention, and ensuring every pup receives the highest standard of care. In addition to my daycare and boarding management experience, I have veterinary technician assistant experience, including medication administration and attentive monitoring of pets’ health and behavior. I understand the importance of following care instructions closely, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, from playful, social pups to shy dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding routines, providing extra TLC to picky eaters, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I know that pets are family, and trusting someone with their care is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and will treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pup needs an adventure buddy, a cozy cuddle companion, or attentive care while you're away, I’m here to make sure their tails keep wagging! 🐶❤️ I have recently lost my job managing a daycare facility due to me going back to school. I will be starting school in November. Monday Tuesday 3 PM to 8 PM Wednesday and Thursday 9 AM to 2 PM , that leaves me plenty of time outside of those hours to be able to accommodate pet parent needs. I prefer to come to your home for the services as I do have a dog at home who is not the happiest with other furry friends. I will happily come in and check on your pup as often as you would like and or take your pup out for as many walks as you would like in whatever neighborhood you would prefer.

“Kelli did such a great job taking care of my cat. She was timely with her visits and spent a good amount of time with my cat each drop in. My cat can take some time to warm up to new people, and Kelli went above and beyond to ensure that she was comfortable. My cat warmed up to her pretty quickly!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 5 years. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m also patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I currently have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you trust. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can offer drop ins, walks, or overnight stays on weekdays after 2 pm. I’m happy to work around your schedule and travel plans so your pets receive consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. I provide a secure, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore. I follow all feeding, medication, and special care instructions carefully, check in frequently, and keep doors locked at all times. Only people you approve will have access, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priority.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and have had the opportunity to experience life with several different breeds, including a Chihuahua, Rottweiler, and Shih Tzu. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to a 3-year-old American Bully and a 9-year-old Dachshund. Growing up with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels has given me a genuine love for animals and valuable hands-on experience understanding their individual needs. My two current dogs couldn’t be more different! From their ages and sizes to their personalities and exercise requirements, caring for both has taught me the importance of adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I understand that some dogs thrive on exercise, playtime, and activities, while others prefer a slower pace, gentle attention, and plenty of relaxation. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing loving, individualized care. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a member of your family. That’s why I prioritize safety, communication, consistency, and making every dog feel comfortable. Although I have two dogs of my own, I maintain clear boundaries and designated spaces between my dogs and boarding guests. Dogs are never left together without direct supervision, and if I feel an interaction isn’t appropriate or comfortable for either dog, they will remain completely separated throughout the stay. I also accept only one family’s pets at a time, allowing me to provide a calm environment and personalized attention. Whether your dog is staying overnight, enjoying a walk, or receiving a drop-in visit, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind! I work as a Registered Behavior Technician during the week and am also a part-time college student, so I dedicate my weekends to caring for pets! I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for boarding, dog walking, and drop-in visits. During my available hours, I prioritize giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care while maintaining their usual routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I do my best to provide a comfortable, enjoyable experience for each one! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I live in a non-smoking home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for pets to relax and enjoy supervised playtime. I have two dogs of my own, a 3-year-old American Bully and a 9-year-old Dachshund, as well as four small birds. My resident pets have their own designated areas, separate from boarding guests. I establish clear boundaries, and dogs are never left together without direct supervision. If I feel that an interaction isn’t appropriate for either dog, they will remain completely separated throughout the stay. My birds are also kept safely separated from visiting pets. I only accept one family’s pets at a time to provide individualized attention and a calm environment. For drop-in visits and dog walking, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, respect their home, and prioritize secure handling, safety, and their pet’s comfort. I also provide photo updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away!

About: I have my own dog at home so I understand the importance of making sure dogs are happy, healthy and safe. My dog even eats the best around here! Premium food, no kibble. (No hate against kibble, this is just to highlight that I make sure to take the best care of my animals). I treat pets the same way I would like my pets to be treated! He also sleeps in my bed with me. I grew up on a farm and I also would take care of neighbors farms as well. With this said, I have hands-on experience with horses, birds, cats, dogs, fish etc. Horses definitely have been the trickiest to take care of with them being huge, dangerous and fragile so I believe if I can take care of horses, I can take care of almost anything easy peasy. This background has given me a broad understanding of the specific needs and behaviors of different animals. My volunteer work at animal shelters and shadowing at veterinary clinics have increased my knowledge of animal care, behavior, and health, equipping me to handle various situations with confidence and compassion. I've recently decided to join Rover again to make some extra money as a student. I would be happy to help you and your fur baby! I'm currently a senior majoring in marketing at FGCU and I currently do not have a job so I have a ton of free time to take care of your animals! I live in an apartment currently. I take my dog out at least 4-5 times a day and I take him to the dog park almost everyday!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Natasha was absolutely amazing! She stepped in to help with my animals on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly caring with all of my pets. She made sure to follow every instruction I left for her and kept me updated throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I loved receiving updates and knowing that all of my babies were being cared for so well. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Natasha went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, and comfortable. I could tell she genuinely cared about them as if they were her own. I highly recommend Natasha to anyone looking for a dependable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. She is truly the best, and I would book her again without hesitation!

Rebeca did great job taking care of our two cats. She was very responsible and followed instructions we gave her. We received photos of our very sociable, happy cat on Rebeca’s lap, and she tried her best to lure our nonsocial cat out to no avail, but left food for her in the back of a closet where she normally hides and checked each day that she was eating. We would definitely ask her to sit for our cats again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Villas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Villas is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 787 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Villas. 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Villas. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
