“This is the 2nd time I've had Jenn. I love having her watch my dog Trilli. Its nice to have someone that communicates well, but also takes the best care of your baby when you're gone. Thank you so much!”
About: I have had two pet dogs of my own throughout my life. My first dog was Jynx a boston terrier pit bull mix and my second dog lady a dachshund. I love these dogs till my heart content. They are and still family and I treat all pets as such. When I had these dogs I took responsibility to feed, bathe, walk, administered medication. Even though my pets are no longer with me I hope to treat your pets the same way I treated mine. With love and care like you would. Pet care fits into my routine daily as I will have time on the weekends, weekdays, or whenever you need for me to check in your pets and give them same love and care as if you were at home with them. Your pets are not only just pets but are family and I will treat them as such. I will provide a safe and loving environment for them as if you were home with them.
“Angelina was great. She took good care of our dog as well as our house. Our flight was delayed overnight so she changed her plans and returned last minute. We’ll call on her again as needed.”
About: As a mom and lifelong dog lover, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’ve seen it all! I’m a proud owner of two teacup dogs, Tofu and Tails, who are my little shadows. I'll give your fur babies a lot of attention. Yes, they're allowed on furniture. I won't crate them (unless requested) With a background in martial arts, I bring a sense of discipline, patience, and structure to my pet care. Whether it’s a walk, special care, or meeting unique owner requests, I’m committed to ensuring every pet is safe, happy, and loved. I take their care very seriously. Your furry friend will be in great hands! I understand that sometimes pets can be uncooperative in an unfamiliar environment. Unfortunately, our dogs are unable to verbalize how they feel but I'm 100% confident I'll be able to understand how your dog is behaving in my care. As your pet-sitter I promise to respect and follow your instructions, and will stick to the routine your dog is used to. I believe every pet deserves a warm and loving home away from home. I’m flexible and ready to step in at short notice. I understand life happens, so I have waived off last minute cancellation fees. If we get too dirty from having fun, I will shower/groom your dog at no additional charge. Pet care fits into my daily routine as it aligns perfectly with my active and structured lifestyle. Caring for dogs isn’t just a part of my day; it’s a part of my life. Whether it’s a walk or a quiet evening snuggles, I make sure each fur baby gets the attention/love deserved, fitting them smoothly into my routine. I own 2 friendly teacups so your dog(s) will always have company in my home. I will send multiple pics/videos when you are missing your babies! My family is very loving and always want the best for the dogs.
“Jordan was amazing! She kept me posted with pictures and text to ensure I knew they were happy and enjoying themselves. We had a recent diagnosis for Miss Coco, and Jordan was so empathetic and put me at ease while I was out of town. Thanks again Jordan!!”
About: I've cared for dogs of every kind and age since I was about 8 years old. Family, neighbors, and friends have always relied on me to help care for and love their pets, knowing I would do anything and everything for a dog. From training new puppies to giving that little extra care to seniors, I love doing it all! Currently I’m not busy full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for home visits and play on weekdays anytime from 7am - 3:30pm. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet during home visits and playtime. With that, I follow feeding schedules, give fresh water, clean up messes, provide playtime and love, monitor health and behavior, as well as keep owners updated with lots of messages and photos.
“Laurie watched our puppy and 2 cats for a couple days and was a great house sitter! Sent us lots of pictures and took great care of pets! Definitely utilize her services again.”
About: I have and have taken care of large breed dogs like Pitbull's and Cane Corso's for over 9 years now. I have been through multiple trainings and interactive settings with both. I also have a cat I have cared for over 10 years. I have taken care of friends and family's animals previously. I work from home Monday-Friday, therefore I have a lot of flexibility. I also can make morning/lunch/ and afternoon check ins due to work flexibility. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I provide daily walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll follow any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Having Tracy spend the day at our house while we’re out of town has provided us with so much peace of mind. She obviously loves what she does! Even though one of our cats won’t show his face 🤣 it’s comforting to know that Tracy is there in case he wants some attention. Thank you, Tracy. You are appreciated!”
“Angelica was so great with the pups! She was extremely communicative and followed the dogs queues and preferences to a T. We got plenty of photos and updates on meals, walks and bedtime. Can’t wait to have her back!”
About: We’ve had dogs all our lives! Being around them brings us joy. Dogs are our favorite creatures on the planet! We will care for them as if they were our own.

He loves dogs as much as I do. Ana lives in a large golf community, with lots of dogs around and nice trails to explore. Your pet can also enjoy some of the local parks that are close by. Your pet will feel like he is at his home away from home when with us.
About: Pet care is second nature to me—I’m a trusted go-to in my community and a pet boutique owner who truly understands animals, routines, and individual needs I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday evenings, with a flexible schedule that allows for midday walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily rhythm, and I love every minute of it! I live in a pet-friendly community with a dog park just steps away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villas
Liani was amazing! I had a long vacation and was nervous to leave my cat but Liani was so wonderful with sending me pictures and letting me know my baby was okay. It felt so refreshing to know my cat was being taken care of with love and I could enjoy my time away.
Annalei was awesome . I had to go out of town at the last minute and was looking for someone to stay in my home and care for our 2 babies. I have never done this and was a little nervous at first . They are 14 so I wanted to be able to keep them in their home so they would be more comfortable . Annalei responded promptly and we set up a meet and greet and that went really well. She was so sweet and very friendly and my dogs seemed comfortable with her we thought she was great . while I was away one of my babies wasn’t feeling well she took care of the situation and let me know right away. She handled it perfectly. We received many pictures daily and they looked very happy and comfortable which was such a relief. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were in good hands . We came home to happy babies and a clean home 😊..I would absolutely recommend Annalei to care for your babies she was great and if we ever need to be away from home again I feel comfortable leaving them with her. I will be using her again ..
Sarah was wonderful with our newly injured english bulldog. We went out of town and booked her last minute and she was able to step up and help us out in a big way. She sent photos and updates and was particular about giving our dog meds and attention while we were gone!!
Bill seems to have been just what the doctor ordered for our dog, who seemed very content when we got home. Bill stayed ant our house, that was left exactly as it was when we returned. Bill was both responsible and professional in all of our dealings with him.
We were so happy with the care our two dogs received while we were away for three nights. It was great knowing they were being cared for in the comfort of their own home. We really appreciated being able to relax knowing they were in good hands, especially knowing our old girl (15 1/2 years) was not being left on her own! We would definitely recommend Christina to anyone looking for in-home care for their dogs!
Veda is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic dogsitter. I hired her to housesit for a long weekend before Christmas. She played with Kody and sent photos of her time with him. Kody was well cared for and happy when we returned. I was somewhat concerned that she did not tell me ahead of time that her car broke down and she had to use Uber.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Villas is $80 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $139 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Villas. 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 Villas 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 Villas 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 Villas 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Villas. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
