“Douglas is great - very nice, very capable of handling our wild 45lb pit mix puppy. I am a total helicopter parent so hiring a stranger to walk my baby boy wasn’t easy for me, but i would definitely book Douglas again. My pup passed out as soon as he got home :)”
About: I love dogs of all kinds. From playing to training I look forward to my next canine experience inside or out, any day of the week. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to work around your schedule and pet care needs. From 30 minutes to a few hours or more. I have experience working with dogs on leash in public areas or off leash in protected zones. From an invisible fence yard to a bedroom or play area.
“Penelope is amazing! She takes great care of our dog, always makes sure he has everything he needs when she leaves, and takes him on nice long walks. She’s been super flexible with scheduling and sends great pictures too!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years. My own and sitting in USA and France with multiple pets in a household. I adopted cat 🐈 for 10 years and I had a 🐩 dog for 13, fishes 🐠 , turtles 🐢 and 🐦 birds. I love animals as human companions. I am very picky with their care and I love to help others when they can’t. I know how much your pet need us. I am currently working remotely and I have plenty of time for them. I have a pet friendly car to transport myself easily. I follow instructions in detail and know to observe the little changes in behavior and demands. I am careful with cleanliness and nutrition. I am also very respectful of the homes I stay in and leave them cleaner than I found them. I treat pets and homes as if they were my own. I am very minimalistic, health and waste conscious but flexible and non judgmental. I work remotely daily, I workout outside 3 times a week in the mornings and attend music classes 3x a week midday. I can take care of the house and pet outside that schedule. Food, play time and cleanup I interact with them and talk to them. I give them exercise with your okay. I let them take their time at first to get to know me so I start slow. I collaborate with a dog trainer so I can teach your pet some tricks and help them with their behavior and leashed walks.
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life! I've been caring for other people's dogs for about three years now and adore taking them on walks, to the park, or just having a pup cuddle session in their home. From chihuahua's to 150lb labs, I've dealt with it all. Honestly, being a dog sitter/walker sounds like the ultimate dream job to me. Having grown up with dogs and moving away to college without one, I quickly realized how much I missed being surrounded by them. Although I can't have a dog of my own at the house I am living in, sitting and walking is the perfect alternative! I have one roommate, a big backyard, and two story house with no other pets. I will be attending graduate school for two years, and I'll only have class for two hours, four days of the week. That leaves a lot of time for me to spend with your dog! I'd probably take your pooch for three walks, or two walks and a trip to nearby City Park to run around and play ball. If they like to run around 2-3 miles, I'm your gal too! But if your dog just needs someone to spend time with at home on the couch, I will have time to do that too! I have never had a bad experience working with dogs; I've worked with energetic, calm, big, little, timid, and just about every other type of pup! Lastly, I will only be about 15 minutes away from my house while I am at school, and can rush home at anytime if need be. I have no issue staying at your place with your dog either. I still feel like my family dogs are strong members of our home, and I would love to treat your dog with the same importance, and enjoy spending time with him/her.

Kelli is truly a gem 💎. Authentic and Professional! Can’t wait to book her again. I have a hard time traveling and leaving my doggies, separation anxiety and Kelli relieved all my stress. My doggies love her!! And she gives these great updates. Adorable pictures too goe’s out of her way to make sure they have their particular dinner, fresh cooked rice and shredded chicken. They have fallen in love with her. I can see it in the pictures and rightly so! She is absolutely adorable and is a dog lover, and you can see it. I’m so happy I found her & feel so blessed.
I truly couldn’t recommend Claire enough! She is caring, responsible, trustworthy and I always feel completely at ease knowing my dog, Rylie, is in her hands. She has such a natural way with dogs and treats every pup like they’re her own. She’s incredibly attentive, gentle, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. Rylie absolutely adores her, and I never have to think twice about leaving her in Claire’s care. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their pup!!
We couldn't be happier with Sierra! Charlie warmed up to her almost instantly, which says so much. Our pup can take some time to feel comfortable, so the fact that she felt at ease so quickly is a true testament to how warm and gentle Sierra is. She is always on time and so kind and sweet with Charlie every single visit. It's such a relief knowing Charlie is in caring, reliable hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾
I adore Hayley and so does my dog. Greta communication, always on time or early, sends updates, is flexible if the weather is too hot adjusting her walk plan and always makes sure my dog is given that extra attention. It’s so nice to not worry smith my dog when I’m at work. So happy we found Hayley
Tessa is so great with dogs and I can say I had full trust in her when she was with my pup. Her training experience helped keep consistency with him. She also taught me many things and was very helpful with game planning strategies for the betterment of my house as a first time puppy owner.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Venice is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 19,024 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Venice. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Venice after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
