“Paul took such great care our dog and cat that every time I got an update it looked like neither of them even noticed we were gone. And then in a pinch when our flight home got unexpectedly cancelled, Paul stopped over again an extra morning to account for our delayed return. Jan and Paul very clearly care about your animals and are probably some of the best sitters I’ve used on rover. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use them again to care for my pets.”
“Susana has been a fabulous care taker for our little one. Before and during our extending overseas trip, she was very communicative and provided wonderful update photos to put us as ease”
“Tiffany was AMAZING with Ava. She stayed with Ava over at our house for a couple of nights and we were confident with the care she was providing for her. We appreciated her updating us with daily photos on walks+naps and everything else in between. Thank you for everything. Our girl loved you! :)”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”
“Anthea is very deserving to be your petsitter, especially if you want a person who will be very respectful of your home and who will be very loving and kind in caring for your pets. She sincerely loves both cats and dogs and will treat them as if they are her own. And, that is exactly the type of person you want in order for you to enjoy a well-deserved vacation.”
“Roree is an excellent dog sitter. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She keeps us updated with pictures and texts on how Willow is doing. Willow loves Roree!!!! The house is spotless when we return. When we book with her she communicates quickly with us. She is very conscientious and always arrives on time. We are so pleased to have found her!!!”
“Maureen house sat for 5 days and watched my 2 little dogs and they loved her. Maureen kept me updated, sent photos and even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Also, one of my dogs can be anti social with people she doesn't know well. By the 2nd night she was laying next to Maureen on the chair. Maureen is wonderful and will defintely use again.”
“Shani is an amazing person! She takes great care of the pups and sends beautiful pictures and updates. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her stay with our dogs in the future.”
“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Destiny provided for our Goldendoodle and three cats while house-sitting for us last week! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout her stay and sending plenty of photos of our furry family members. What truly set Destiny apart was her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. She not only kept our pets happy and well-cared for but also helped put away their frozen food delivery and even made a trip to the store to pick up extra paper plates for feeding the cats. When we returned, our home was spotless, and it was clear that Destiny had taken great care to leave everything in perfect order. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and thoughtfulness, and we’re excited to use her services for all our future house-sitting and pet-watching needs. Thank you, Destiny—you’re amazing!”
“Annemarie was awesome! Took great care of our pets while we were away and kept us updated with pictures the whole time! Very reliable - she even got sick right before we left and she still took great care of them! Thanks Annemarie (:”
“Danielle took excellent care of our adult Goldendoodle and 3month old kitten at our home during a weekend away. She took extra time to bond with them from the start, gave them the reassurance & snuggles they needed while we were away. I will definitely be booking with Danielle again in the future.”
“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”
“I’d give 10 stars if I could! I knew my Murphy girl was in good hands with Michaela during our meet n greet. She is very well educated in dog behavior and training, and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a certified trainer! She made sure Murphy got all of the loves, walks, treats and enrichment. I came back home to a happy, healthy pup and a clean house!”
About: I've taken care of dogs pretty regularly, from chihuahuas to great danes. I work well with senior dogs just as well as energetic young dogs :) I'm an online graduate student with an internship in Vancouver, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm almost always open on weekends as well. Whatever fits you needs. I have a fenced in yard at home, and food is usually separated from my other pets' food and typical routines to limit interaction. At a clients home, I work hard to keep the home pristine and keep an eye on your pets wherever they go.
“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”
“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venersborg
Sarah was fantastic!!!! I was so nervous about leaving my girl (who is a senior and going deaf) with a sitter as this was the first time she’s ever been left with anyone other than family or friends she knows very well. In addition to keeping her company, she took her on multiple walks, let her do activities she enjoys most, and sent me updates and pictures every day, giving me peace of mind along the way. The only complaint I have is that Sarah isn’t available year-round, as she is in undergrad school. I’m very happy with the quality of sitters on Rover that I got to engage with in this process.

FAQs for House Sitting - Venersborg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venersborg on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Venersborg. 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 Venersborg 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 Venersborg 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 Venersborg 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.

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.
