“Kathy and Roy took fantastic care of our dog. Kathy sent 50 pictures during a 4 night stay with daily summary of what our dog did and how she behaved. Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard as well as Kathy’s pet friendly home. From the minute we met Kathy and Roy we knew they really cared about dogs as well as all animals. We had a wonderful experience and have already booked another stay for our dog.”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Daphne loves her visits to Ray and Randy. She is very demanding when it comes to play time - Ray's and Randy's patience seems to have no bounds. We are so lucky to have them!”
“Sam was everything I was hoping for my fur baby! She treated her like her own. They had backyard adventures and lots of walks, cuddles and all kinds of fun times with Gus and the kitty. I felt confident that Fern was being taken care of and did not worry about her on my trip. Sam will be my go to if I have to leave town again!”
“We have used Marcella many times for our dog Baloo. She and her husband provide excellent care and we so appreciate that. He has lots of room to explore and run and he is occasionally treated to a pup cup! He sleeps well after each visit, that’s for sure! Thank you, Marcella and Thank you!!”
“Morgan did a great job with Ollie. She sent me photos and even took Ollie to the vet for his infected eye. I was concerned that Ollie wouldn’t get along with big dogs but he had a good time playing. Her son took them for walks as well. I won’t hesitate to use Morgan again!”
“Angela was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute when we discovered our cat couldn't stay with us at our Airbnb. She kept us updated every single day with sweet notes and photos of our cat, Marbles. She and her young daughter took such wonderful care of him, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely be using her services again whenever I need a competent, caring, and reliable sitter! 5/5 stars!”
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“Bob I s definitely a dog lover. We met his sweet dogs and felt instantly comfortable with him caring for our golden doodle. We were happy that he cheated in with us the next day to tell us she was doing fine. We will be happy to use him again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Jeanne was the perfect sitter for us ! New to the area , we did a meet & greet . During our meet & great , we knew we made the right choice . She updated us every day on the daily routine sending pics and messages. Being out of the country , this was reassuring and allowed us the relax and enjoy our time away. You will not be disappointed using Jeanne . She was exceptional at her job and my guys didn't want to go home !”
“I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my naughty and anxious Malinois but Svetlana was exceptional. She kept him safe and calm. We would use her again without hesitation.”
“Heather took great care of our goldendoodle, Biscuit, who enjoyed her dogs, as well as her pool! Biscuit enjoyed swimming with “Leo” and was happy to be able to sleep with Heather. They took a walk in the neighborhood as well, which is always a good thing for Biscuit. Biscuit came home well exercised, and had some nice long naps. We look forward to booking with Heather again soon!”
“Trevor was fantastic from the very first moment we reached out to him. He was incredibly caring and kind, not only to our dog but to us as pet parents as well. We’re so grateful to have had Trevor take care of our dog and couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“Love love love when Rex stays over Claudia’s! He’s stayed over multiple times and I am never disappointed. Claudia is always posting videos/pictures of Rex on her dog boarding Instagram page so I am always updated with how he is doing. She replies right away to messages so communication is 10/10. Rex is happy with her and so am I :-)”
“Dana took great care of my 2 pups and gave me a good report of how it went. All their stuff was packed and ready to go when I arrived to pick them up. I will definitely book with Dana again on a future trip in FL.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Venice
Pippa our 10 year old Papillon loves staying with Kathy and is very bonded with her after 9 years of occasional boarding. Kathy’s knowledge of pet health & confidence in dealing with any issue is reassuring and it is evident the moment you enter her home that all the pets love her.
We absolutely love Chellie and Theo watching our dog Rocko! She has a beautiful fenced in backyard, she only watches one dog at a time if you ask her, our dog absolutely loves her home and all the attention she gives him! We wouldn’t hesitate to pass her name on to someone else because she takes such great care of the dogs! We are grateful for this dog watcher!
Lisa is wonderful! Bosco can be a little finicky and ‘moody’— and certainly doesn’t like kennels. So we tried Rover and were blessed enough to find Lisa! Thank you again— and will likely check in with Lisa to make sure she’s available before even planning our next trip!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - South Venice
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in South Venice is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $58 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 October 2026, there are 757 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in South Venice can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Venice home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Venice.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Venice sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
