Christine was very communicative. She loved on my kitties well and sent pictures while I was gone. I appreciated her keeping my kitties company while I was gone. Thank you!

Holly and Jace were great, I’m going away for a work trip next week, so I scheduled them for a drop in visit before my trip so they could get acquainted with my 2 dogs. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can trust my babies with someone while I’m away!

We are so grateful to have found Nichole. Our two Cairn Terrier brothers like being home and we prefer having them there, especially compared to the stress and expense of taking them to a kennel. We had a great meet & greet with Nichole and our pups took to her immediately. This was a difficult trip for us (mom’s funeral), and getting updates and photos from Nichole has been very comforting. Her enthusiasm and professionalism have helped make this trip so much better and opened the door for future travels knowing our dogs are very well cared for. Thank you, Nichole, for being excellent.

Allie was so great with our dog Smokey! He is usually pretty slow to warm up to strangers, but Allie did so well with him and he was so happy to see her from the first visit on. We would definitely use her dog sitting services again! Very reliable, sent many pictures, and took great care of our dog while we were out of town!

Hailey was absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on a long trip, and she did such a wonderful job. She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Betty provided drop in service for my pup Roxie for for 30 mins a day for 2 weeks. This was my first time utilizing Rover. Betty has such a kind, sweet spirit and you can easily tell within minutes of meeting that she loves animals! She was also flexible with activities requests that were modified due to changing weather. Roxie was thrilled to be able to play fetch in the backyard or go for walks (if/when it rained) mid day every day! Betty was very responsive and interactive by providing pics/videos during her daily visit. I will definitely contact her again when future needs arise!

About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout most of my adult life and understand that they’re truly part of the family. Having cared for pets for many years, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. One of the pet families I currently care for affectionately calls me “Uncle Bob.” That’s exactly the kind of relationship I hope to build with the pets in my care. I’m dependable, patient and attentive, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets and your home seriously. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens as well as adult and senior dogs and cats. I’ll carefully follow the routines and instructions you provide so your pets receive the care they’re accustomed to. I provide more than a quick drop-in. During your pet’s 30- or 60-minute visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of personal attention along with fresh water, feeding and a potty break or walk when appropriate. Playtime, cuddles and brushing are all part of the visit when your pet enjoys them. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime, brushing and belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’ll give them the individual attention they’re used to receiving from you. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the day for drop-in visits, dog walks and cat care, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule visits around the times they’re accustomed to being fed, walked or having some company. Keeping their routine as familiar as possible can help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether you need regular weekly visits, an occasional helping hand or care while you’re away, I’ll work with you to find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are very important to me. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow the instructions and routines you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box care and any special instructions for your pet. I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, use your pet’s leash or harness as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings during walks and visits. I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. While you’re away, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and adjust lights or blinds as requested. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, your home is secure, and I’ll send you a photo and update so you know how the visit went.

About: As a dependable and detail-oriented professional, I bring a calm, nurturing energy and a high level of responsibility to pet sitting. My background has instilled in me a deep respect for routines, cleanliness, and clear communication—meaning your home will be kept immaculate, and your pets will receive their meals, medications, and exercise exactly on schedule. Above all, I am genuinely attentive to animal behavior, ensuring your dogs or cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, giving you complete peace of mind. Because I have a completely flexible, open schedule, I am available all day to dedicate my full attention to your pets. Unlike sitters who rush out for standard 9-to-5 jobs, my day revolves entirely around your animal's needs. This means I am consistently on hand to provide frequent bathroom breaks, maintain precise feeding and medication schedules, and offer plenty of daytime companionship and play. Your pets won't have to spend long hours waiting alone, giving them a stress-free, comfortable routine and giving you total peace of mind throughout the day. Because I am available throughout the entire day, I can dedicate my full attention to maintaining your pet's exact daily routine right in the comfort of their own home. I strictly adhere to their familiar schedules for feeding, exercise, and medication so they experience zero disruption while you are away. Additionally, I keep a detailed, daily log of their activities, meals, and behavior, keeping you fully connected and informed. With me, your pets receive constant, reliable companionship, and you get the total peace of mind that comes from knowing their day is structured, safe, and fully accounted for.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

Holly was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and accommodating, especially since we reached out on short notice. Our cat had recently had surgery and needed some extra care and attention, and Holly took such great care of him. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would absolutely trust Holly with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone!

Keisha took care of our sweet Samantha for 6 days. Samantha was content, playful, loving during our absence. Keisha send pictures twice a day from her visits and that was a great thing to see her each day. We could not have asked for anything better. Keisha even brought in our mail. Thank you Keisha for your loving care.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Venice

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Venice on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 740 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Venice. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
