“Karissa did a fantastic job. She took great care of my two dogs. Her communication was stellar! I got pictures and updates a few times per day. She was very punctual and kept them in their normal routine. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing their dogs cared for while you are out of town. Or just want someone to drop in on them while you are at work.”
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!
“You’ll love Charles and your pets will too. Our new puppy was sad we left him for a few hours, but Charles was there for him. While we were away we checked in, and Charles promptly replied and even sent a photo. Hire Charles- you will be glad you did.”
“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 am someone who believes that pets are family, and that every animal has a unique personality! That means caring for them isn’t exactly the same every single time. If your pet needs potty breaks, walks, to play fetch, light grooming, or just someone to lay around on the couch with for a while so they don’t get lonely, I’m here to help with that! I work full time from home as an Accountant Monday-Friday, and some weekends I work part time at a neighborhood clubhouse. When you book with me, I will communicate with you how long and how often I am able to visit and care for your precious fur baby, and you just let me know what they need. I am located in Fort Myers on Daniels and Plantation. I work full time from home Monday- Friday. I am looking to do check-ins, pet sitting, and walks on Saturdays and Sundays. If that turns out well I may open up to week night check ins. I’d be comfortable sleeping in bed with your pet or getting them into a crate a night. I love walks so if your animal wants to go for a walk, we will! I can pop by and make sure they have food water and bathroom breaks. My cats are too territorial of their home to have new animals here, so I will come to you.
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in forensic studies with the goal of becoming a crime scene investigator. 🕵️ I currently work two jobs and now a third to look for a little extra income to save for my new home. My love for animals began when I was a child and has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even lizards! Because of that, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing overnight dog-sitting services for families through other pet-care apps. This has allowed me to work with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines while giving pet parents peace of mind when they’re away from home. I also have two furry companions of my own—a Mini Dapple Dachshund named Bennett and a sweet cat named Ruby. 🥰 They mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own! 🐾❤️ I work part time and I’m in college. I can find time between classes and work to take care of your pet. I can also stay additional nights or days as well. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and taken care of! I can provide dog toys if given permission and I will always make sure your pet is happy.
“Amazing experience with Emily, who dog sat our two fur babies overnight. Our mini dachshund is shy with most people but immediately ran up to Emily. This was our first time using an overnight dog sitter, and we had no worries or concerns, which is a huge relief. Dogs were calm and happy when we got home. Highly recommend Emily for your dog sitting needs!”
“Sarah is exactly who you would want with your dog, if you love your dog. She is kind and sincere, as well as understands how important my dog is to me. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah every time I need a sitter/ walker/ friend for my dog.”
“Truly 5 stars! Gertie is our bulldog and can be a challenging breed, but Nina was amazing and so special to our little loved one. Gertie misses her for sure! Highly recommend, professional, safe and warm.... never worried about our pup or our home.”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from lizards and other small animals to Great Danes. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and specific needs. I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were my own, whether that means feeding, walking, playtime, medication support, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m primarily available Friday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended care. During the week, I’m also available for evening drop-ins after 6:00 p.m. and will follow your pet’s normal routine. I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals ranging from lizards to Great Danes. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions while keeping pets safe, comfortable, supervised, and treated like family.
“Elizabeth watched my Zoey over Christmas and did such a great job communicating and sending pictures every day. We did a meet and greet before our trip and was so happy that her sweet dog indie was a perfect play partner for Zoey and felt super comfortable having them play in the yard. She took Zoey for walks and play dates with her dog and Zoey was a happy pup! I recommend Elizabeth!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villas
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.
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Villas on Rover is $95.43 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,040 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
- 96% 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.
