“Noa was so professional, friendly, and kind. She was able to manage our apartment and all animals were well cared for. This was the first time leaving our dogs with someone and so happy we found Noa. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Liana took good care of my dog and cat. She was really proactive with communication and would respond anytime I reached out. She sent really cute pictures that clearly showcased their personalities so I could tell they were comfortable. My house was in perfect shape when I got home.”
“Todd was great with our dogs for an overnight! We don’t travel without the dogs very often and it’s hard finding someone new, Todd was very easy going and dependable and made sure our dogs and home were well looked after. And on a holiday no less. Thank you Todd!”
“Samantha is an absolute lifesaver!! She came over to spend the day with my pup after our usual sitter had to cancel last minute. My dog is newly adopted and usually super shy, but she loved Samantha right away! So grateful, thank you Samantha!!”
About: I’m currently a full time flexible remote work professional in Marina Del rey. I’m able to give your pet love and full attention in my home or yours. I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and fish at different times. I had two cats and two dogs as an adult that have since passed away. My favorite place at a party is with the animals. I’m a full time work from home professional. Mostly M-F days with flexible hours. I’m able to work one on one with my clients to figure out what works the best for you. Able to work anywhere with a WiFi connection and willing to do this at your home or mine to give full time companionship to your pet as needed. If bringing your pet to my home works best, I live in a one bedroom apartment in Marina Del Rey. My building has a dedicated pet area and walkable neighborhood with a small park for daily dog outdoor time. Willing to work with crates, medication or any other special needs
About: I have years of experience with dogs of my friends and family. I'm everyone's "go to" because they know I'm good with their animals and their house. Most dogs warm up to me pretty quickly, and I'm good at reading a pet's personality. I'm an avid runner and hiker, and I'm good with dog walking/training commands, and very cautious of other dogs when walking the dogs I sit. I also have experience giving meds, subcutaneous fluids, asthma inhalers and with senior animals. One note: I'm allergic to many breeds of dogs, so if your dog MUST sleep in bed with a sitter and is NOT a doodle, poodle, portie, schnauzer, bichon or other hypo breed, I unfortunately cannot do that. Hanging out with them and loving on them is fine, as I can wash my hands after. I am a freelance Account Executive with a high end architectural stone company, so half the time I am on the laptop, the other half I am visiting job sites or clients. My days are usually flexible, so I can work with reasonable schedules. When I house sit I respect the client's home and privacy the way I would want mine respected. And I leave the home as clean as it was when I arrived. I make sure that the pets are safe from any danger, and that if I'm out, they are inside. And if we agree on a schedule, I stick to it, unless there's an emergency, which I will communicate immediately.
“Elana has been an incredible dog walker and sitter. Super communicative and helpful. She looked after our home like our own and I would highly recommend her but also don’t want to lose her 😉. She gave Pepe meds and checked in at all points if unsure about anything. She is a keeper.”
“Karl and Sarah are amazing! Every time they take care of Dudley we are stress free because we know he is in wonderful hands! We can tell how much Dudley loves them. They are the BEST!”
“Margaret is great with the animals and very caring and conscientious. My shy dog is comfortable with her and my moody kitty is totally loving with her. She’s a natural!”
About: Attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique personality: experienced with daily medications, safe walking routines, and giving extra devoted attention to keep tails happily wagging. Midday care is built right into my daily schedule. I offer dependable lunchtime drop-ins, exercise walks, and bathroom breaks to keep your pet happy and stimulated while you are at work. Safety, routine, and clear communication are the foundation of my care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure all environments are secure, hazard-free, and clean. I strictly honor your pet's feeding, medication, and exercise guidelines, keeping their days structured and low-stress. On walks, I practice cautious, leashed safety and attentive monitoring. Most importantly, I keep you connected with frequent photos and updates every step of the way.
“I felt so comfortable leaving my elderly doggie and puppy in the hands of Anita. She is sweet as pie and took such good care of them. She was so understanding of all the little things we do with the pups and adhered to their strictish schedules and regimens. Would absolutely have her watch the boys again.”
“Deirdra did an amazing job taking care of Hank. He is a senior pup with arthritis and a pretty involved food and supplement routine. Deirdra stayed with Hank for about a week and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. She was thorough in her reports throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures during her stay. Would definitely re-book for future trips.”
About: I recently lost my dog of 16 years and I’m ready to provide loving care to your dog. I offer a variety of services, from boarding to house sitting. I will make your dogs feel comfortable and take care of them as if they were my own. I work from home and can give your dog the attention he/she deserves, including frequent walks, play time, and any other special care needs they may have.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“River was fantastic and patient with my senior dog who requires a lot of meds and attention and went above and beyond in terms of keeping my home clean. Would definitely use River again!”
“Joseph was exceptional. He not only did everything that needed to be done to provide the best care for my dog, but he was also very communicative. He sent lots of pictures and videos of my dog, and provided constant updates throughout the entire time. I highly recommend hiring Joseph to take care of your dogs!!”
About: Hi! I am an experienced dog sitter and caretaker. I've been an animal person my whole life & an active person who can jog or walk with your dog. I have lived on a farm in the past and cared for animals in a variety of environments, and have always enjoyed taking care of my friend’s and family's dogs when they are away. I love pets of all sizes and ages!! I have transportation to take your dog to different places including the park or the beach. We can go anywhere outdoors! A little more about me: I am a classical musician from the Monterey Peninsula area of California. I now live full time in Venice Beach, dabbling between music performance and dog walking. I have a dog who I take care of full-time. We’re at the beach often, and meeting new dog friends along the water. If not at the beach, we're out in nature or playing ball. I have a fenced back yard in Alhambra, and a very friendly active dog who I can take along for walks with your pet if you want the extra socialization.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Venice is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venice
This was our first time leaving our small kitten alone for an extended period of time and Nicholle took amazing care of her! She was very on time with feedings and sent many pictures to make us feel connected to Willow & feel comforted in the fact that she was being well taken care of. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Natalie is absolute perfection! She recently sat our pups and went above and beyond in every single way. From the moment she stepped in, her bright, cheerful energy was so warm and infectious. You can immediately tell how much she genuinely cares about animals, and her connection with our pups was incredible to watch. On top of taking stellar care of our dogs, we came home to an immaculate house and she really cares for the spaces she's in. Natalie is so lovely to be around and gives you total peace of mind while you're away. We absolutely love her and can't wait to book her again!
Nadya is simply the best cat sitter I can imagine. My Stella loves her, and is completely trusting and comfortable in her company. Nadya is solicitous of me, too, in sending me videos of Stella playing twice a day, to allay any worries on my part as to her well-being. Nadya also leaves my condo in excellent condition. I can recommend her unconditionally.
Tracy was wonderful from our first meet and greet. She has a calm and kind demeanor, great for my two senior dogs. She went above and beyond when our flight was delayed to stay longer with our fur babies, and we came home to a clean house! We are worriers as our dogs have gotten older and are so thankful that Tracy took such good care of our dogs. We will definitely ask her to house and dog sit for us again.
Dogs are so happy and calm. Yes, they were glad to see me when I returned after three day travel trip, but for sure were in no rush to say goodbye to Claire. Excellent senior dog care, including multiple meds twice daily…and the dogs love her!! Highly recommend.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lindsay takes such great care of our pup and he has developed a real bond with her. She is an excellent communicator, leaves our place spotless and she’s always so flexible with her time. We are beyond grateful that we can count on her to treat our home and our little buddy with the highest level of care.
Keith was wonderful with Finn! Finn can be shy and nervous around new people, but Keith was patient and happy to take the time to help him feel comfortable. By the end of the stay, they were getting along great. Keith took Finn on walks, kept me updated, and left my home spotless. I’d happily book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!
Noa was so sweet with my senior dog, Shakey. She made sure she knew exactly what his care routine was so that while I was away all three of us had peace of mind. She took amazing care of Shakey and was sure to update with me photos and any questions she had along the way. When I came home Shakey seemed like he'd hardly noticed I was gone, which is the ideal scenario for both of us! I recommend her without reservation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Venice is $69 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $124 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 13,562 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
