Angela was absolutely wonderful! It was the first time we have had to leave our kitty Kira. My daughter highly recommended using Rover. We found Angela and set up our meet and greet. We were so impressed with her! She made us feel so comfortable with knowing that our Kira would be in good hands. But she went the extra mile by providing us insight into how our girl interacted with her in addition to the notes and photos. We looked forward to getting the updates on her visits. We will definitely use Angela's help in the future when the occasion arises! If you need an awesome, caring and attentive sitter, she is top notch!

Katie and Brandon did an awesome job with our cats. They love animals and it shows. They followed instructions well, and the cats were really relaxed with them. One of our cats is brain damaged and can get difficult when frightened- this is the first time we've ever come home after she has been with a sitter when she hasn't thrown up or poo'd all over from fear and stress. Give them a try. They are wonderful.

About: I have been involved with foster dogs for many years and managed health issues, resource guarding, and leash training. I am comfortable with the needs of senior pets and can lift my dog Lilly at 70+lbs to prevent joint damage. I also went through the potty training phases and am no stranger to frequent walks or surprise messes! Additionally I am familiar with basic training through positive reinforcement and meeting activity needs for many different breeds! I am a student with the whole summer off, so I’m able to pay around-the-clock attention to your pets. I’m up early in the morning for breakfast and walks and would love to spend time with your four legged friend. I live an active lifestyle so I am capable of providing exercise and playtime for energetic dogs! I’m also familiar with seniors and can relax with some older companions and assist with frequent potty breaks.

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.

Anna B. is the best! We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover. Anna took good care of our cat while we were gone for the week. She took care of his needs and constantly updated me with photos and messages. While taking care of him, my cat needed veterninary care. She did not hesitate to bring him for an exam. Anna is a kind and compassionate person who loves animals. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to take care of your pet. The next time we go out of town, we will definitely call upon her services. We couldn't ask for anyone better for the job. Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my fur baby.

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!

About: I’ve been a dog owner of Cairns and Westies. We have a two year old German Shepherd. I just love the companionship of dogs. Love helping seniors with walking dogs or housesitting their pets for their trips away from home. I have recently moved from Colorado to Venice. I love walking dogs and caring for them. Weekend and overnight care is also available with some notice. As an owner of a German Shepherd I’m fully aware how difficult it can be to kennel your bff (pet). I love caring for pets as if they are my own. Give me a call and allow me the opportunity to take care of your pet dog. I will walk and feed your dog (s). Stay with them and play, pet and cuddle to ease any anxiety they may have in your absence.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She took such great care of our cats, kept us updated with photos and messages, and even picked up some cat food when we were running low. It gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and thoughtful. Thank you so much! 🐱❤️

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Venice

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Venice on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 1,640 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 94% 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.

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.
