“Ryan is kind, super responsive and stays connected with daily udpates. I have left Fiona with him on two separate occasions and she always seems happy to see him. I will definitely be using Ryan again on future stays.”
“Miri and Philip were amazing with our 5 month old puppy! You could tell they really enjoyed taking care of our baby. Always so responsive and sends the cutest pictures and videos. We’re so glad to have found such great people to trust our baby with! Thank you Miri & Philip!”
“Alina was an excellent sitter for Kona. From the photos she sent, I could tell just how happy Kona was - she barely seemed to realize we were gone! Alina communicated with us throughout the stay and made us feel very assured that Kona was in good hands. She took great care of our dog and highly recommend this wonderful sitter.”
“Mia was so amazing with our dog Sydney. Syd is a super hyperactive pitbull who demands a lot of love 😂 and Mia showered her with love and attention all week. I felt really comfortable leaving her there for the week while we were out of town. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and was a A* communicator!”
“Thank you, Pia!!!❤️ We felt so lucky to know that Murphy was in great hands while we were away! He loved spending time with Pia and her sweet dog, Stella! Pia sent great updates throughout our trip so we could see how much fun he was having! Murphy has been cuddling with a toy Pia gave him since we picked him up last week.❤️🐾 I know Murphy is looking forward to another stay at Pia's!! 🐶❤️🐾”
“I can't say enough great things about Ellie! She cared for a recent rescue when I had to go out of town for a few days. She made my girl feel right at home and sent regular pics and videos which made me feel confident about her care from start to finish. When she found a couple of fleas on my put during her stay, she was so calm and helpful working with me from afar to take care of it. When my flight was delayed coming home, she even agreed to care for my pup until I could get back to town. Will definitely rebook with Ellie again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Myla! She made sure we were kept up to speed on how Lottie was doing during her stay, and that she got all of the exercise she needs. It was so comforting knowing we were leaving our puppy in such great care with Myla!”
“Liko loves his stays here! He is always a happy and tired pup when we pick him up. We always get great photos and Anna is very responsive and flexible with pick up/drop off times.”
“Lissa took great care of our doodle Bunsen. We received daily updates, including photos and videos letting us know how she was doing. Bunsen may have even been a little sad leaving her new doggy friend Nala. I'm really happy we found someone trustworthy to take care of our Bunsen and will definitely have Lissa take care of our pup again.”
“Lucy loves her stays with Katherine! Our minds are always at ease and we know she’s in good hands. This is especially important with Lucy because one of her quirks is fear reactivity. We would not hesitate to book again!”
“Nicky was amazing with our kittens for the duration of their stay at her place! 🌟Not only, Nicky is super caring and kind, she helped me with handling cats from our car to her place, shared updates, prepared our stuff for pick up, and cats were super affectionate when we were picking them up! Thank you, Nicky <3”
“Tomoko took such great care of Teddy! Her communication was quick and responsive the entire time and she provided us with lots of photo updates :) we are so thankful Tomoko was able to watch Teddy (it was an emergency last minute booking for us so she really saved us ??) and we will definitely book again in the future!”
“We were lucky to find Susan! She was great with Chili and Nikko. Her home has such a great vibe that I felt 100% calm when I left them there. She also has a very sweet chihuahua and it was a treat for my pups to have an extra playmate. She was great about sending a pic every day with an update. Thank you Susan! We’ll be using her again!”
“Joseph is excellent! He made sure to be very responsive and kept me updated every day about the adventures he and buddy took my pup Miles on. So grateful to have them.”
“Dina and Shane took great care of Facai! He seemed to really enjoy spending time with Benny, too. They sent lots of updates and were very communicative throughout his stay. Facai looked very happy when we picked him up. We’d definitely recommend them!”
“Chelsi has a lovely family, her children and her dog Leo are super super friendly to my dog. Chelsi also takes care of my dog into the very details. Sending photos/video updates many times throughout the day. Makes us worry less and she's super reliable”
“Tom was a wonderful find! His home is well kept with a nice, secured yard. We boarded our two dogs with him for four nights. They had free access to the inside and yard throughout their stay. Tom clearly knows dogs and our dogs really took to him. When we picked them up, they went to Tom for a goodbye cuddle. :) Knowing our dogs were being well cared for made out time away all the more enjoyable.”

Nicole and Ted took such great care of my large anxious dog! You can tell immediately how warm they are with pets and seek to understand their needs. I got many photos, updates, and funny moments! They are lovely people, and I would love Bubbles to hang out with them again!
Lucero provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout willows stay; she was very accommodating to whatever Willow needed! Willow is a very timid dog and generally has trouble settling in comfortably in new environments but again, Lucero did whatever possible to make it as nice as possible for Willow!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Venice is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $98 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 November 2026, there are 9,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% of sitters in 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
