“This was the first time my dogs has been alone. Natasha did a great job taking care of our babies. She came to the house before her actual time and met with them. She kept the house neat and organized. She also sent us pictures daily and make sure they were safe and happy 😃 Mi Lee”
About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life, I love building relationships with animals, I’ve taken care of pets in the past! I love animals! I feed and water pets every morning and take my dog out for long walks each morning, making sure they are loved and fed! Making sure pets get enough exercise and playtime throughout the week. Taking dogs on long walks, feeding and watering, scooping litter boxes and making sure they are getting enough exercise! Playing with cats with toys to keep them active!

About: I have taken care of/walked dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up with dogs and have never lived without one in my home. Many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets to either walk or care for them from either a day at a time or weeks. During the week I have sports and school but weekends are reserved to make sure the care of your pet(s) is received properly and carefully I am more than happy to play with any pet to ensure he/she is happy and healthy while I care for them. If you have special requests, I can make it a priority to fulfill them.
“Emily was amazing! She took care of our Bailey for two weeks. She’s attentive, caring and easy to work with. She followed all our instructions, kept up communications and daily pictures. She was responsible and respectful at our house but also gave our fur-baby attention, snuggles and diligently kept up with his special care, and daily walks. I strongly recommend her services and would be happy to hire her back.”
“Jennifer was a great caregiver. He sent us updates all the time and made sure everything was ready to go and she left. I would highly recommend her. She gave our Romeo lots of love.”

Nina went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving the kids in her care. She made sure she knew everything she could about the kids before we left and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. She put any and all fear to rest. Shes a wonderful person who loves her job and it shows. We will rebook with Nina any chance we get when we come back.”
About: I have been fostering animals for 4–5 years, caring for pets ranging from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals. I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, subcutaneous fluids, ear cleanings, and more. Animals have been a part of my life since day one, and I have a precious fur baby of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and someone they can feel safe and loved with too. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur babies! I work full time from Tuesdays to Saturdays however I do dictate my own schedule and I am able to work my schedule out a bit. I usually go into work between 8-10am and leave between 4-6pm. Your home is your pet’s safe space, and I believe they are happiest in their own environment surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and comfort. I will come to you, so your pet never has to leave the place they love most. You can trust that your home and your fur baby will be treated with the utmost care and respect. My focus is entirely on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you are away.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Villas is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villas
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.
James was amazing with my pitty! He stayed at my place with her for a week and followed her schedule and my directions perfectly. He was able to administer her daily oral medication and found her a new hangout spot on the lanai when she got antsy. My place was spotless when I got home and I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about my dogter. James is the best!!
Laci took great care of my dogs. She did everything as requested and sent pictures each day. I would have preferred more information when I would ask how they were doing. Instead of saying fine or good, I would like more details.That would have made me more comfortable. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise, I was very happy with her service!
Jessica was so wonderful with our dogs while we were gone for 2 weeks. She stayed at the house as we had hoped, made sure to get them out of the house on walks, and shared great communication throughout the whole process! We could tell in the pictures she sent us, that she truly cared for the dogs. We would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Jessica!
We had a great experience with Mary caring for our two golden retrievers in our home for a week! She is extremely dependable and went all out to keep our girls happy while we were gone. She is an excellent communicator and kept us well-informed all week. Plus, she took excellent care of our home. We felt our girls were in great hands and we would definitely book with Mary again.
Heather was amazing taking care of our sweet boy, Blue! She stayed at our place during our wedding weekend and amidst all the business both my husband and I had that weekend, we managed to feel relaxed and at ease knowing Heather was there. She sent daily pictures and updates and Blue looked like he was having a blast. She left the place spotless and even cleaned washed the bedding! We will definitely be using her again
Cecie was so sweet with our doggy Bear! This was our first time leaving Bear since he was diagnosed with heart disease and needs to be given regular pills. We were nervous to leave him. Cecie made us feel super comfortable. She gave regular updates on how he was doing. I recommend her to anyone who has animals with special needs!! Your baby will be in good hands.
I was incredibly hesitant to use another sitter from Rover after a terrible experience the last time but I took a chance with Brandi & Luis because the second I met them during our meet and greet I felt like they would be different and I was right! They were the BEST decision I made for my two doggies! They came right in and actually said hi to my dogs and showed so much interest in them and seemed to love them instantly! They worked with my schedule to do exactly what I needed and stayed at my house the entirety of my time away. I used them over the Fourth of July and one of my dogs does not do well with fireworks so I felt awful leaving her but she couldn’t have been in better hands! They stayed with her the entire time and followed my instructions down to every last word. They sent frequent updates with pictures and there was not a second I was worried my doggies weren’t being loved! They spent their time relaxing on the couch with them just like they do when we’re home and I know they took the absolute best care of them! I can’t wait to use them again if needed and I know my dogs will be THRILLED to see them again. I can’t speak highly enough, this was without a doubt the best Rover experience I’ve had and now I don’t ever want to use another dogsitter because I don’t think you can do better than Brandi & Luis!

FAQs for House Sitting - Villas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Villas on Rover is $93.63 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 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 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 Villas. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
