“Alyssa was so responsive and understanding of my hectic schedule, which was something I so appreciated! She was great at following instructions, proactively followed up when I scheduled the wrong times, and when I got back my cat seemed relaxed and happy. Im grateful for her help and services! Thank you Alyssa!”
“Lainee was wonderful with my cats for three weeks while I was away. She is so caring and gentle with my boys and didn’t hesitate to help out with any issues that came up. They were so happy and well taken care of upon my return. Definitely will ask Lainee to look after my boys in future. I am so grateful!”
“She was amazing with our puppy, super kind, patient, and really thorough. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs and keeps you updated so you never worry. Our little guy was happy, calm, and clearly well-taken-care-of when we got home. I’d definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Siena, and I’m passionate about caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with dogs and have several years of experience walking and pet sitting, both occasionally and full-time. I work in office (Venice) 2-3x per week with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be attentive and consistent throughout the day, whether for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m based in Marina del Rey with easy access to dog-friendly paths, parks, and quiet neighborhoods. I’m happy to tailor care to your dog’s routine, whether that’s active outings or relaxed companionship. I’m reliable, caring, detail-oriented, and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, I work hybrid. In office only Tuesday - Thursday, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for Monday, Friday and Weekend daytime visits, afternoon/evening care, and overnights, including weekends. I’m able to structure my day around your pet’s routine. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in their own home environment. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, walks, medications, and any specific behaviors or needs. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I always aim to create a calm, safe environment. I also provide regular updates so you feel fully informed and at ease while you’re away!
“Penelope was a wonderful dog walker for our Collie while we were on holiday. She is kind, responsible and always very caring. Our dog took to her immediately and could sense she was a good person. I would recommend Penelope to anyone looking for a loving pet carer.”
About: I grew up with a small dog and currently care for two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily cat routines and behavior. I’ve also helped friends with scheduled drop-in visits for their cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that cats can be sensitive to change, so I move at their pace, pay close attention to their body language, and focus on keeping their routine consistent. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care and clear communication for cat parents. I have a flexible schedule and offer drop-in visits that can fit into my daily routine. I plan my availability carefully to make sure each visit is punctual and unrushed, and I’m happy to coordinate times in advance to match each pet’s needs. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always follow care instructions closely. During drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure, routines are followed, and I provide clear updates so pet parents feel confident while they’re away.
About: I've taken care of many animals, the main jobs I get are dogs and cats because most people don't have exotic animals, but I am also very competent regarding rabbit care and behaviors! I'm also able to provide medicine to rabbits due to around 3 years of on and off medical care for my own rabbit :) I don't work currently and I'm not in school at the moment either so I'm free most days for long periods of time. I don't have a consistent petsitting schedule at the moment, more sporadic and I just help whenever it's needed There are two dogs in my neighborhood that I am a repeat petsitter for. One of them is a very anxious young dog who very quickly decided I'm a safe person and now she bounds over to the door when I arrive. The other dog I either let into the backyard while I give one of the cats upstairs her medicine and say hi to the other cat as well, or I walk him around the neighborhood and let him sniff a bunch (he's a hound mix)
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats of all sizes and ages for the last ten years for neighbors, close friends and family. I work a flexible hybrid corporate schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I can adjust my in-office days as needed to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, litter box care, playtime, and any other needs, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can feel connected and know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I have booked Jess twice and both times she has been great. She is communicative, reliable and best of all, my cat Pepper was very comfortable around her. I highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with pets of all kinds, instilling me with the responsibility and gentle love pets need! I can walk and care for pets of ALL KINDS AND NEEDS. I’m an active 24 year old working a remote job at home. I’m here to give the dogs what they need. Be if someone to sit with, lots of long walks (my favorite), or just some love and attention. My apartment is pet friendly too! I work a remote job from home, so I love having a dog around for company! I’m also a runner and love long walks, so I’m happy to care for an energetic dog. I have a pet safe environment that will allow any pup to feel cozy when I’m not at home with them in person. When I am with them they’ll get alllllll the love and attention.
About: Hello! My name is Andrew and I am here on Rover to help any and all pet owners out there. As an owner of a Husky, I understand there are times when you need pet help in a crunch. I can work to be flexible in any situation that may arise! I am currently working full-time on the weekdays but I am able to fit any pet care into my daily routine as I am flexible. I am currently living in a 1-bedroom apartment with a balcony in case any pets need fresh air or to bathe in the sun!
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy spending time with them, whether we’re going for walks, playing, or relaxing at home. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I work online from home, so I’m home most of the day. This allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine, with time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. I keep the environment clean and safe and respect each pet’s personality and routine. I also send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I am an animal person through and through. I currently care for a 14-year-old cat who has very specific needs. I have been dog-sitting my neighbor’s young Labradoodle since she was a puppy. After getting my first dog at 8, I have always had a pet. Animal care has always been important to me. I was involved in training my yellow lab growing up, and was able to recall those skills to teach my neighbor's labradoodle to sit. Your pet is important to me. Their care will be prioritized within my day. My freelance work allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I understand that welcoming new people into your home can be stressful for humans and pets alike. I am committed to providing safe care and companionship for your pet while respecting your and your pet's space and needs during walks and visits.

I will absolutely be reaching out to Hillary for help again! She send frequent updates and photos of our puppy and took great care of him for the afternoon from start to finish. We sent a very last minute request and she responded promptly and was a lifesaver!!
Sierra was fantastic!!!! She was so kind and went above & beyond to provide great care. She gave me peace of mind and that meant the world to me!!! My cats were so excited to see her everyday and I’m so grateful Sierra gave them so much love! 100% would recommend booking with Sierra 🩷
I can’t say enough good things about Alexandra! She came to meet my pets beforehand and was super understanding when my travel plans changed. She was so good to my very energetic puppy and Bengal cat and really easy to get in touch with. She was honestly a lifesaver!!!
Julia was prompt, communicative, and genuinely caring with my kitten. I had a last minute trip come up and was so anxious to leave my small kitten for a few days. Julia kindly reassured me that she would take great care of her and she definitely delivered. As a first-time kitten owner, I really appreciated the practical advice she shared and how loving she was with her. She even went above and beyond by offering to clip her nails and bring in my mail while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves and cares for the animals she looks after, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
This was our first time using Kate and I would definitely book her again! She was communicative, thorough and most importantly we came home to three well taken care of and happy cats. We were in the process of introducing a new foster to our crew so we had some very specific instructions and she handled it like a pro. Not to mention our foster can be spicy/opinionated and Kate was willing to take that on and seemed to understand her body language quickly, which not everyone can do!
We will eternally be grateful for Gracie’s warmth, kindness and love towards our baby Bobby! My fiancé (Derek) and I were traveling for the first time without having our friends be able to look after Bobby, so it was very anxiety inducing to find someone who would care for Bobby. Then we found Gracie! I was already traveling, so she went out of her way to drop in at our place, so Derek could explain all the little details. After Gracie’s visit, he right away wrote me that Gracie is pretty cool person! Every day Gracie shared Bobby’s activities and how he was warming up to her. If he ate, peed or pooped, played or what not. Most importantly we were at peace knowing Gracie would spend an hour with our baby and would have a company of such a nice person! We both wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you Gracie!
My cat poncho is not always easy to be with. He can be aggressive at times. Luke blinded with him immediately and enjoyed his rookie personality. His reports were always positive and reassuring when a possible health issue arose. He he let me know about it and was very clear with his inquiry, and he followed my instructions about it instantly and kept monitoring it and when the issue resolved, he let me know right away that everything was OK. I will definitely book Luke anytime. I need it for sitter in the future. It’s very very good with my cat and I enjoyed it very much.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Venice is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. 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 18,732 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 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 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.
