“David was really great with our dog and two cats. He was very attentive, responsive and provided frequent and detailed photo updates which was very appreciated. David brought a very calm energy to looking after our pets, which was very helpful considering our dog can be quite anxious. I would highly recommend booking David for your petsitting needs. For us, it was our first time using Rover, so we were a little cautious to make sure we got the right person. I felt super at ease with David, and comfortable that he was taking good care of our animals. I will definitely look to him in the future!”

“Kathryn took excellent care of our dogs and home. She was the most communicative sitter I’ve ever had through Rover. We received many photos, and updates on the dogs’ activity. She went to extra efforts to clean up accidents, as well. I would highly recommend Kathryn!”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with two cats of my own, and I absolutely adore caring for pets of all kinds. Whether you have energetic dogs that need daily walks and playtime, independent kitties who want some extra snuggles, or any other furry (or scaly!) friends, I’m experienced and confident giving them the attentive, affectionate care they deserve. While you’re away, I’ll keep your pets happy and comfortable in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of love and exercise, and make sure your home stays safe and tidy. You can relax knowing your beloved companions are in trustworthy, caring hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m highly available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting whenever you need me. Your pets will always receive prompt and attentive care! I prioritize your pets’ safety and well-being above all else. In your home, I follow your exact instructions and routines to the letter — from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walk routes. I’m a responsible, non-smoker with a clean background, and I treat your space with the same care as my own.

About: I've looked out of my mentor's dog while at my day program at Autistry Studios on Fridays occasionally. Other that no previous pet care experience. Hi, I'm Benjamin but people just called me Ben. I'm go to Sonoma State University and I'm not usually available throughout most of the weekdays but I'm available on Fridays and the weekends. I have two cats in my home. I always watch for them because sometimes my parents let them outside and I always looked for them.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience as a lifelong dog owner, and dogs seem to connect with my calm, positive energy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away Im currently looking for as many opportunities as possible as my schedule has opened up. Currently im taking same day booking but I am open to consistent weekly work. I first ask what is expected of me , and going from there. In the past I’ve taken care of dogs in kennels, fenced off, indoor, and anyway the owner sees fit ensuring the safety of the pet ❤️
About: I have been pet-sitting and dog walking for my neighbors for several years, caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also work at a doggy daycare, where I get hands-on experience caring for and supervising dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. This has helped me become comfortable handling multiple dogs, recognizing their body language, managing play and interactions, and keeping dogs safe in a busy environment. I also have a dog of my own who is leash-reactive, so I am comfortable working with strong or reactive dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safe handling. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, basic care, cleaning up after pets, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I treat every pet as an individual and do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I just graduated high school and am taking a gap year. I am looking to fill that year by being around animals. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own two cats and dogs daily, and I build my schedule around providing dependable care for the pets I'm responsible for. Since I have a flexible schedule, I'm available for mornings, evening, and weekend visits, walks, and overnight stays. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special requests. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean living space, and plenty of attention based on their individual personalities and needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I double-check doors, gates, and fences to make sure they're locked and secure. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, locking up when I leave, and following any household instructions provided by the owner. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help the owner feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
About: Student with 6 years of pet care experience and two cats, including a 16-year-old senior cat. Comfortable administering medications and providing loving, reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 I am working part time now, with a lot of availability in the morning and evenings along with the weekends. I do help out some other with yard maintenance I have a fully fenced backyard, for my cats but does it really keep them in? Nope, it doesn’t. I also give my long haired cat a bath every 2 weeks.
About: Hello! My name is Lyanne and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I currently am developing curriculum for National Geographic and love to go on walks and explore. I had two dogs that lived 12.5 and 15 years and they were my lifeline. I have cat sat and dog sat for the past 3 years through word of mouth and love creating deep bonds with the animals I care for. Long walks or fun play, keeping their schedules regular is my goal. I will tend to your pet throughout the day since this is my time off and I would not be working. This means, early morning wake up, 30 minutes to an hour walk, 30 minute rest, feeding, followed by relaxation and play until noon. At around noon, another walk (30 minute) and/or play or relaxing depending on energy level of the dog and finally evening, another walk and/or play. If you have a yard, there would be intermittent outdoor time throughout the day, especially as some dogs love to sunbathe, smell flowers, or chase lizards. Basically, I will tend to their needs and make them feel as comfortable as they could be without their owners around. I can take your pet on walks 2-3 times a day (less or more if you would like) and tend to their needs. Since I will be doing this during my time off, I will mostly be home with the dogs (at most 2-3 hours away total doing groceries or going to gym). I can crate your dog if needed, but they will mostly be with me. If there are parks around, I will gladly take them there.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and have experience with all ages as well! I’ve worked with high energy large dogs, as well as senior animals that require special attention. I appreciate every pet I come across and promise to treat them as I would my own! I’m a recent college graduate and work part time. On Wednesdays and Sundays I’m free to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I don’t offer services in my own home, but I promise follow any of your pet’s specific needs and other house rules to the letter!
“Pat was great! She came by for a meet & greet ahead of her stay with our dog and was very communicative throughout. She was thoughtful and we’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Vanessa watched our sweet lab Utah for 10 days while we went on vacation. I could tell Vanessa truly loves caring for animals as she spent so much time with Utah to make sure she was happy. Utah got multiple walks a day, played fetch at the park and lots of snuggles. It was quite a challenge to get Utah to part ways with Vanessa once we returned from vacation. They had become the best of buds. We are so glad to have finally found our go-to sitter for when we leave town. We also made her our regular walker as Utah demands having her in our lives!”

“Jaylynn came in on short notice and was the ideal sitter for our two pups! I highly recommend Jaylynn and hope she's available the next time we need help watching our furballs!”

“Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.”

“Julia was a wonderful sitter. She looked after my babies like her own & worked with my schedule to ensure my pups always had someone there for them. She provided walks & entertainment, I would highly recommend her in the future.”

“Krystle treated my 15 yr+ baby with love and care. She was kind enough to meet us ahead of the scheduled time to see if we agreed it would be a good fit long term. She left my place tidy and took great care of my sweet girl. Next time we will try a longer stay to see how she does. It was great having someone who understands the needs of senior pups.”
“Orrya was great! We got regular updates and pictures of our buddy during our trip. She was very helpful and accommodating when we ran into some issues with our travel home. Will definitely look to book her for our next outing!”

“Georgia was a pleasure to work with, and took care of our three cats and dog. Our dog can be shy, but seemed to get along great with Georgia, and she took care to work with her during the stay. Georgia also fed the hummingbirds which was much appreciated - and our house was in good shape when we returned. We'll definitely have her stay again!”

“Right from the start what stood out about Zack was his professionalism. He responded to messages quickly, arranged a visit to our home to meet us and our dog, and he arrived with detailed questions regarding our home, dog care, and safety plan. He also was flexible on schedule and worked with us for days he was already booked, he did drop ins and meals on those days for us. It is obvious that he takes his job seriously and I felt at ease leaving our dog and home in his hands. While we were gone he provided daily photos and kept us in the loop, and then once we arrived home we came back to a spotless house and a happy dog, which was such a nice surprise. We would absolutely recommend Zack and will use him again in the future.”

“We had the best experience with Monica! She will be my first go-to from now on whenever I leave town! She was so kind, left the house immaculate and Farley loved hanging out with her and Bodie at our house. Farley is a sensitive soul and she made sure he didn’t feel lonely which was a worry of mine. She sent photos and was super communicative while we were gone- this was the first time we had someone stay in our house and she really made me feel great about it:-) Thank you Monica!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Venetia
Lili did a wonderful job caring for our pets and staying in our home. We have a small dog and cat. The dog can take a long time to warm up to new people, but Lili has such a warm, gentle, and patient energy that both of our animals felt safe with her. While staying at our house, Lili gave me daily updates and photos, which completely put my mind at ease while I was away. When I came home, our dog and cat seemed calm, happy, and well cared for. We would rebook with Lili again (already planning on it) and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Wish I could give Laura 10 stars! She was super flexible with the schedule, gave lots of love to the dogs and left my home completely spotless after a 9 day sit. I could tell from the first meet and greet that she was going to be fantastic just from the questions she asked. I am very very happy with the services she provided and it made my vacation more enjoyable knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would love to book with Laura again!

We had a very complicated booking, due to last minute changes that were out of our control. Parke was understanding, flexible, reliable, and took phenomenal care of our two busy Doodles. One required daily medication, and Parke did not let us down. Daily check ins were appreciated and very reassuring. We arrived home to find two happy, healthy pups, Five stars isn’t enough! Thank you again, Parke! We will definitely be re-booking with you!

Pat was wonderful! She radiates calm, and our nervous dog immediately liked her, which is genuinely unusual. She's also friendly and fun to talk to, which is a plus for the owners! She was fine with giving medications to our dog who is still recovering from CCL surgery, and with keeping him quiet in general. She kept us up-to-date with texts and photos, and the house was spotless. She was the perfect person for our pup.
Talia did such an amazing job taking care of my beautiful dog Phoenix and my sweet little cat Sadie while I was on vacation in Michigan with my family. Phoenix got lots of exercise and hiking adventures and Sadie got lots of love. Talia was very communicative with me and sent photos of my sweet pets regularly, and my home was spotless when I returned. Would definitely ask Talia to watch my pets again. Five stars! Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Imani took great care of my puppy, adult cat and home. She sent me regular updates and photos and was really accommodating about the ongoing renovation project which meant workers were coming and going from the house. I highly recommend Imani and look forward to hiring her again.
I am so glad I found Lydia. She went above and beyond. She even helped my sister when she needed to find some things at the apt for me. She sent photos and updates everyday. She took Rosco for a lot of walks, out to the park and to run errands with her. I really feel like she treated him like her own pup.

Cory has taken care of my "easy" dog, Ginger, before. Then I double down and asked her to dog-sit both my dogs. Pepper is lovely... but a bit spicy with other dogs and has a prey drive that doesn't quit. All went well, and I returned home to two happy and healthy pups:-)

FAQs for House Sitting - Santa Venetia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Venetia on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Venetia. 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 Santa Venetia 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 Santa Venetia 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 Santa Venetia 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 Santa Venetia. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
