“Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.”

“Roxane was so great and always gave me great comments and photos of our kitty. She even stayed a little extra longer when we had workers in our house that our cat was hiding from. Will definitely hire her again!”

About: I have a very active, independent, high-prey-drive Ibizan Hound, and raising her has given me a lot of hands-on experience with dog behavior, training challenges, leash safety, and reading body language. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, nutrition, triggers, overstimulation, and how to notice small changes in a dog’s behavior before they become a bigger issue. I’m naturally very observant and attentive during walks. For dog walking, I prefer small to medium-sized dogs that are generally calm on leash and manageable during walks. I’m not the best fit for dogs that pull heavily, are highly reactive, or require significant behavioral management. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable walk for your dog. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, and short check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I take leash safety and following the owner’s instructions very seriously. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, surroundings, doors, gates, and potential triggers. I’ll follow your feeding and care routine exactly as requested.

“Rachel absolutely rocks!!!!! While I love my cat she can be difficult at times to say the least with anyone but me. Plus she requires medicine every 12 hours and is 15 years old. First trip in a few years and honestly thought it would be a train wreck but then I found Rachel….. Super responsive, consistent, and I could tell she picked up on how important my little feline was to me. Food, water, litter box, meds, and knocked it all out of the park. Plus….. while Rachel didn’t say anything I know my cat so there had to be some vomit as that’s what cats do but no sign so Rachel cleaned it up presumably and not a peep! I would and plan to let this lady handle my feline stuff every time going fwd. Rachel, thank you so much!!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of dogs and other pets of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a Miniature Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I work part-time for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and can usually be available as long as I receive notice ahead of time. I genuinely enjoy being active with dogs, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, going to the park, or helping them burn off energy and stay happy. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care while you’re away. When caring for your dog in your home, I will make sure to follow all of your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I treat every home with respect and ensure everything stays clean, safe, and exactly how you left it. I will provide fresh water, regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention so your dog feels relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. My goal is to reduce any stress your pet may feel while you’re away by giving them consistent care, affection, and companionship right in their own home. For longer stays I prefer my dog accompany me. She is 1.5 years old, trained, and extremely friendly.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time sitter with 6+ years of experience offering personalized, one-on-one care to dogs and cats. I accept only one client at a time so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, stress-free environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments across the Westside. For cats: drop-ins and house-sitting only. I’m known for being patient, intuitive, and attentive—whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior, I tailor care to their needs so they feel safe and comfortable. Clients love my excellent communication, detailed and often photo updates, so they have peace of mind away and coming home to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean space. Good to know: ✔ Work from home — your dog is not alone for long (max 2.5-3 hours) ✔ Only one dog at a time, no other pets ✔ Clean, spacious studio (great for small dogs) Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and check out my reviews 🐾 I work from home so your dog wouldn’t be alone for too long. I truly care for my client’s dogs as if they were my own. My bed is a very popular nap, hangout spot. My apartment is a spacious studio, so ideal for small dogs/puppies. I keep it super clean as well! I have 3 doggy day beds, toys, treats and blankets for them. I always wash everything after each booking.

About: I have a lot of personal experience with dogs. When I lived in Spain, I had three dogs: two German Shepherds and one Maltese, so I grew up taking care of dogs with very different personalities, sizes, and needs. Since moving here, I have also been helping take care of my boss’s dog and my neighbor’s dog, so I am very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving them lots of attention and love. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and would treat any dog in my care as if they were part of my family. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention during the day. My goal is to enjoy caring for a dog, since I’m not currently able to adopt one of our own. I live in a dog-friendly home near the beach, which makes it perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. I’m very responsible, caring, and attentive, and i would make sure any dog staying with us feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I would follow the owner’s routine carefully and treat their dog like part of our family.

About: Hi! I’m Hope. Originally from Wisconsin and now living on LA’s west side, I’ve always been a huge dog lover. I grew up with a black Lab and have yet to meet any dog I didn’t adore. My friends joke that dogs naturally gravitate toward me. After caring for so many Rover client dogs, I finally decided to get my own! I have an adorable golden retriever named Zeppelin at home who loves all animals and all humans. He loves playing and hanging out with his animal friends. Taking care of dogs is fun for me, but it’s even more enjoyable for him. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. It’s a huge deal, and even more of a big deal for your dog. I’m happy to do meet and greets and ensure it’s a good fit for your baby. Whether we’re going for walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or heading to the beach, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention throughout the day. If your pup enjoys the sand, there’s a good chance we’ll spend time at the beach tossing a ball, going for walks, and soaking up the sunshine together. However, if your dog does better inside, we can absolutely do that too. Basically, it’s your dog’s world and I’m just living in it! 🥰 I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a minimum of two 30-minute walks daily, along with additional outdoor time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. My apartment is spacious, pet-friendly, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Whether your dog loves adventures or prefers cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’m a great communicator and will always keep you updated while you’re away. Please let me know about any routines, preferences, or special needs your dog has! I want to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I’m available for walks and dog care anytime between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. I have a ton of flexibility during the work day since I’m a remote worker. I ensure dogs get out for a minimum of two 30 minute walks and plenty of potty breaks. My apartment is a spacious and pet-friendly space located in a safe, peaceful residential area. They’re always welcome on the furniture inside. Whether they love lounging on the couch or enjoying outdoor time, your pet will definitely feel right at home with me 🥰

About: I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide safe, attentive, personalized care. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens who need structure and consistency to senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra support. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and cared for. My goal is simple: to make your time away easier by giving your pet reliable, loving care and giving you peace of mind. I work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and whatever care your pet needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with regular updates and photos. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have a calm, comfortable environment with outdoor access, plus lots of supervision and companionship since I work from home with a flexible schedule.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 14 beautiful years and and I’ve been babysitting other dogs and cats for just as long. I have experience working with animals at an animal shelter and I've worked at multiple animal nonprofits over the years. I’m an all around animal lover and v equipped to be your pet’s extra/backup spare human ◡̈ I love taking dogs to the beach, and playing with cats (+ walking them if they’re into harnesses) - I’ll take good care of their needs while you're gone so you will rest easy I do have experience administering medication (injections for dogs + oral meds for dogs&cats). I’m comfortable with animals who are less socialized around other dogs, animals, children, skateboards, etc. You won't need to worry about your pet's safety or comfort with me, just tell me what they need ◡̈ I work remotely and am flexible with timing. I don’t bring my dog with me, unless it’s a house sit and you’ve told me your animals wouldn’t mind! I have a remote part-time job with a team in different time zones, making my schedule super flexible. Let me know what your pet’s needs are and I’m sure I can accommodate! Unless you request otherwise, I let animals on the furniture and bed. I walk dogs every few hours depending on energy level and age. I’m happy to accommodate special requests if you communicate them to me in the booking or meet and greet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Venice on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 18,726 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
