“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!”
“Great! Buddha and Cookie warmed up to Debbie right away. She always makes sure they eat and walk so that I don't have to worry about them while I'm working a long day. Quick to update me on the drop in visit and if any problems occur. Also quick to fix a problem! Will continue to book.”
About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.

“This was the first time I ever left my dog for an extended period of time with other than family. Carrie was excellent with my senior large fur baby. Who can also be stubborn. There is no doubt that she is an experienced professional working with animals as well as customers. Carrie was always timely neat, and above all caring. I looked forward to the daily report card and pictures. Would not hesitate leaving my Leo again in her caring capable hands.”
About: I am a vet tech at bright cross animal clinic. I have a great extent of experience with dog care, training, and management. My dad was a Police k9 trainer for the State of Michigan. We owned and operated our own boarding, training, and breeding facility. Services I am offering are dog walks, baths, and day sitting. I can also take care of some cats if needed. I am currently working part time at a vet clinic. I will be attending scf in the fall for business. I would love to take care of some pets with my spare time! I have plenty of room for any size pet to stay in my home. I am home all day except the days I have marked off.
About: I’ve cared for small to medium-sized dogs in home settings, including overnight stays and multi-day visits. My experience includes feeding, walking, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away. I’ve also managed multiple dogs at once, so I’m attentive to different personalities and routines. I focus on providing calm, consistent care and making sure each dog feels safe and supported. Pet care fits into my routine outside of my school hours, so I’m able to be present and focused during walks and visits. I plan my time so I’m not rushing and can give each dog proper attention I’m respectful of your home and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave and keep things calm and consistent so your dog feels safe while you’re away. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Your pets are like my little brothers and sisters ✨
About: I’ve had the joy of growing up with both cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. I also have experience with reptiles from my younger years as a dedicated reptile enthusiast. I believe every animal deserves attentive care and genuine affection, and I’m passionate about providing both. In addition to general pet care, I have hands-on experience raising puppies, including helping others with potty training and basic routines, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve looked after elderly pets with special needs, such as a blind Jack Russell who required extra assistance and medication management. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with compassion, patience, and the highest level of care to keep them happy and safe while you’re away. I currently work part time for a delivery company with a flexible schedule to work around my pet care duties and have an open availability throughout the week While caring for your pets in your home, I maintain consistent feeding schedules, prioritize their safety, and ensure they receive regular outdoor time for exercise and bathroom needs. I also keep litter boxes and living areas clean and well maintained. Additionally, I provide regular updates after each visit or walk so you can feel confident and informed about your pet’s care.
About: I love animals and have been caring for them since I can remember. Whether it be my own pets, volunteering, or as a job. I have taken the time to learn about the mannerisms and needs of many pets, cats and dogs in particular. I am comfortable accommodating medical issues and more challenging personalities. I strive to be thorough and responsible with my care, not only for your satisfaction, but because I want your babies to be as comfortable as possible! I have ample time throughout the week to dedicate to sitting though it will change periodically due to potential work schedule changes or school or personal plans My care will vary depending on your wishes and the personality of your pets! In general, I prefer to clean the litter box periodically throughout the day (for dogs bathroom breaks every two hours or less is optimal), as well as replace their water 2-3 times. I believe intellectual stimulation everyday is important via playing or other new experiences. I also own adjustable harnesses for supervised outdoors time so long as that is something you’re comfortable with.

About: I've always been a huge animal lover and can't remember a time I haven't had a pet. Currently we have 5dogs, a lizard, a snake, the cutest Chinchilla and 2 fish tanks. I'm energetic, dependable, and have worked with animals for years. I've walked dogs, worked for non profit organizations and even a few kennels. Most of my life I've been in customer service jobs and currently work as a manager for an Italian restaurant in Cumming and would love to make some extra money doing something that I love! It's hard with our busy schedules to not worry about our pets at home. I'm lucky that there's usually always someone home when I'm not. I would like to make you feel comfortable that your pet is being taken care of while you can't be there. Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Venice
We took a day trip to Orlando and Faye was kind enough to care for our babies while we were gone! She sent many photos and updates throughout the day. She took care of our pups perfectly! If we take any more day trips we would love to have Faye love on our babes again! We would 100% recommend her to others!
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.
Maria was wonderful! Extremely attentive to the crew, and she communicated throughout which helped make my time away with my family very relaxing. Her personality is positive and upbeat, and she's very conscientious. She'll be my 1st choice going forward when I need a pet caregiver. I HIGHLY recommend Maria.
Morgan is absolutely amazing with our pets. She stepped into place seamlessly in our time of need and I couldnt be more greatful for her help. Extremely respectful, polite, and dependable; always going above and beyond what is asked of her. Plus, the dog loves her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Venice stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 South Venice 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in South Venice with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
