“Marie is the absolute best! She took such incredible care of my senior dog, Honey, treating her as if she were her own. She has a special way with dogs, providing them with so much love, patience, and attention. I never had to worry for a second because I knew my pup was in the best hands. Marie is trustworthy, compassionate, and truly goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, Marie is the one! Plus, she sends the most amazing pictures. 💗🙏🏼”
“Erica was very conscientious with our needy German Shepherd and our temperamental kitty. They both seemed happy, healthy and well groomed when we got home. She took pictures throughout our time away to update us on their status and she followed our specifications and feeding and other directions to a tee. She is pleasant, cooperative, and professional. I highly recommend her. Both of our animals seem to love her, based on the pictures the description of their behavior, and also their initial meeting with her. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was orderly when we returned. We are very pleased and happy with her services. She is super!”
“Clarice was super helpful in making sure our two kitties were well taken care of while we were away and we could tell when we got back that the kitties had a good time. We also appreciated the photo updates to keep our minds at ease. Very thankful we had her to help give them snuggles & attention and to make sure their food/water/litter were all good!”
“Melissa stayed at my house with my two dogs. She took them for walks, played with them and made them feel loved. She is an excellent sitter and I will definitely use her again.”
“Jasmine stayed at our home for the weekend and we were very happy with the job she did taking care of our two puppies. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Deirdra was an absolutely perfect sitter. She took such incredible care of our boy while we were gone. We can't recommend her enough and will definitely be having her sit for us again.”
“Leland did a great job caring for our two dogs. He complied with our instructions and requests, the dogs were in good shape both physically and emotionally when we returned and the house was clean. Thank you Leland!!!”
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals! I would love to take your sweet pet on some outdoor adventures!! My schedule is pretty open this summer and I am located in Venice, CA. My work this summer is pretty flexible so I am around to help care for your pets, whether it’s early morning walks on the beach or sunset strolls:) My dog Rosie is my lil baby, I love to spoil her and makes sure she gets lots of outside time. That being said she lives with my parents so I don’t have any other animals at my place:)
“The BEST! Margaret has been the absolute best sitter we have ever had. She takes care of 3 challenging fur babies while we are away and updates us daily. When we get home everything has been taken care of. If anything gets soiled, she has cleaned it and has made sure everyone is happy and healthy.”
“Yuliia stayed with Rosie for 2 weeks while I was out of town. She was absolutely fantastic. Rosie got lots of walks, spent many nights relaxing on the couch with Yuliia and we got lots of pictures. She also left the house cleaner than I think it was when I left. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Tori was absolutely fantastic! Our puppy took to her straight away and she provided us tons of updates while we were gone. We had absolutely no concerns or worries leaving our home and our puppy in Dorie‘s care and would absolutely love to have her watch Scotti again in the future.”
“Natalie was great with my two dogs! She was very communicative and would check in frequently with updates and pictures. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and seems like they had a great weekend with her! I’ll definitely be asking Natalie back to watch my dogs whenever I’m out of town, would recommend her to any dog parent looking for a sitter!”
“Eileen took great care of my dog, Rex, while I was away. She was proactive, dependable, and handled his quirks with confidence, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I came home to a happy dog and a clean, well-cared-for home. She’s a grounded, capable sitter, and I would happily book with her again!”
“Kay was amazing - she took great care of my senior pups, provided frequent updates and was always timely! And she kept my place clean which I truly appreciated as well! I’d definitely ask her to watch my pups again.”
“Our dog has isolation anxiety and Lili stayed with her at our place for an afternoon while we were out. She was prompt, very communicative, sent lots of pics. Very appreciated!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She went above and beyond with our two crazy, high-energy dogs and was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. She sent us tons of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, loved, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful to care for their pets!
I requested full day dog sitting in my home when my dog had a foot injury and could not go to daycare. Our dog is a needy, older Vizla who still gets bursts of zoomy energy. He needed to be kept on the slower side for a few days and his bandaged foot needed to be kept dry. Morgane was fast to reply to my booking request and she came for a quick 20 min visit so I could meet her and she could meet my dog in advance so we were both comfortable. She was clear in the info and access she would need and sent reminders. She showed up on time and shared pictures when she arrived and when she left. Everything was in place in the house and my dog was a happy baby whose bandage was still intact. I will book Morgane again in the future.
Ashley was great! She was very interactive, and sent me updates and pics of my 2 pets while I was gone. My dog has a bit of sep anxiety which she handled like a champ. At no point on my trip was I nervous about being away, and thats such a huge deal for me. The apartment was left in perfect shape, I couldn't even tell someone was there for 3 days! Thank you Ashley for the great Rover experience <3
Todd is an amazing pet sitter. He takes such good care of our mini-labradoodle and we have booked him several times. He goes above and beyond as a pet sitter - he even came back to the house after his sitting was completed because I had received a message from a neighbor about our dog barking and we were worried about getting a noise complaint. Look no further for an amazing pet sitter.
Julia was amazing! She looked after our one year old golden retriever Clementine for three days. She gave us plenty of updates and responded quickly when we checked in. Clementine still has some of that puppy energy and excitement and Julia handled that so well. Clem loved her and we’ll definitely book again!
Margaret is a true ANGEL sent from heaven above. I was so nervous about leaving my new puppy for the first time but once I met her at our meet and greet I knew he was in the best hands and my nerves were gone. She also handled an unforeseen power outage at my apartment like an absolute champ while keeping my boy happy and healthy. I also came home to an apartment cleaner than I left it! I’m so happy to have found her, I know my boy will always be in good hands when he’s with her! Thank you SO much Margaret, ralphie misses you already ;)
We so appreciate Tierney watching Stanley while we were away for a week! She kept him active in the heat with walks earlier in the day, stayed in touch with us, and adapted to his schedule. Our flights home got majorly messed up and we are so grateful that she was able to be flexible to make sure he got walks he needed while we made our way back. Thank you!!
Karl and Sarah are amazing! They are our go to sitters. They take such great care of our pup (who has epilepsy) and it’s such a relief to be able to leave him knowing he is in good hands. They are great about sending updates and photos. They are super respectful and tidy when staying over. We cannot recommend them more!

FAQs for House Sitting - Venice
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venice on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,608 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Venice. 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 Venice 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 Venice 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
