“Morgan was wonderful. Easy to communicate with. We met ahead of time at her place so the dogs could meet her and see where they would be staying. Everything went smoothly and easy. Dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was happy to see them and see they had been well taken care of how I was away. I would highly recomend Morgan.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Sam was everything I was hoping for my fur baby! She treated her like her own. They had backyard adventures and lots of walks, cuddles and all kinds of fun times with Gus and the kitty. I felt confident that Fern was being taken care of and did not worry about her on my trip. Sam will be my go to if I have to leave town again!”
“Merve was great with our pup! Had no issues with special diet and supplements and sent photos or video everyday. Dru had such a great time playing all week with Thor. Thanks so much!”
“I am a first time Rover user and booked Kelly for our 11 year old hound mix, Bruno. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures. He did great and I am happy to use Kelly for our future trips.”
“Heather took great care of our goldendoodle, Biscuit, who enjoyed her dogs, as well as her pool! Biscuit enjoyed swimming with “Leo” and was happy to be able to sleep with Heather. They took a walk in the neighborhood as well, which is always a good thing for Biscuit. Biscuit came home well exercised, and had some nice long naps. We look forward to booking with Heather again soon!”
“Barbara was fantastic ! we would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. She was very accommodating and even provided video updates that reassured us our fur baby was in good hands.”
“Jeanne was a great choice for my Brownie girl. She truly treated Brownie as her own. After our meet and greet I was positive she was a dog lover. She kept me updated through pictures daily. When I dropped Brownie off for her stay she ran to the front door, very excited. It was definitely a good vibe at Jeanne's. Thanks so much Jeanne?”
“Tara and Justin are AMAZING!!!! We recently moved to Sarasota and were worried we wouldn't find anyone to care for our dogs since we don't know anyone in the area. I went on over and found Tara and Justin. They first watched our 2 doodles for an overnight (at my request) to make sure they were a good fit. Everything went great, so we booked them again for a week while we were out of town and they truly treated them as if they were part of their family! They sent us numerous photos (sometimes multiple times a day) of them playing, cuddling on the couch and playing with their 5 yr old son. Tara is super responsive and accommodating as well with pick ups and drop offs. I couldn't have asked for a better home and family to leave my pups with. We have already re-booked for next weekend and will continue to use Tara and Justin! If I could give them 10 starts I would!”
“Robin is an absolute angel! She watched our dog Buddy for 10 days, and was amazing with him. Buddy is a rescue and a very nervous little guy, so Robin had us bring him over for short little stays with her prior to our vacation, so that Buddy could get adjusted to us leaving him for a period of time. She truly cares about the pets she watches, and I felt like she cared for Buddy as if he were her own. Robin kept us updated on how he was doing, and included photos. We missed Buddy terribly while we were away, but we knew he was in safe, capable, and loving hands. I would recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would not hesitate to book with her again. Five stars is not enough! :)”
“Arrow had a wonderful stay at Kimber’s I received daily photos and videos of Arrow doing his favorite things! Kimber’s home is beautiful inside and out! I highly recommend! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Svetlana took very good care of my Golden Retriever puppy. It’s was over the 4th of July weekend and she was very patient and gentle with Macy and experiencing the noise for the first time. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have fostered and helped find homes for close to 50 dogs. I pride myself on understanding their needs. Experienced with puppies to seniors. I am also comfortable giving meds and shots. I have an elderly Aussie “ Matilda” and a young, playful Westie “Millie”. Both are terrific with other dogs. Your best friends will sleep with me if they like, or on a couch or dog bed or wherever they are used to sleeping in your home. If they are playful, I will play with and run them in my backyard. I strive to meet each dogs needs. A happy, stress free stay is my goal. I am a potter and my studio is in my home. Your dog will be with me and my girls, with access to the fenced backyard to play and enjoy themselves under supervision. I have a fenced backyard and your dogs will be supervised while in my care. If they like daily walks then they can have them!
“Lori and Jim has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my fur baby! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. They were punctual, communicative, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“Joyce was great with our puppy Sandy! Its not an easy job to willingly watch an 11wk old puppy for 12 days!! Joyce sent us pictures and updates during our absence to reassure us Sandy was in good hands. Thank you Joyce!”
About: I'm a lifelong pet lover with 20+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I spent 18 years as a cat owner and currently share my home with Willy, my 5-year-old English Bulldog, and Lilly Grace, my 3-year-old French Bulldog. I work remotely from my home in Sarasota's Gulf Gate East neighborhood, allowing me to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. I'll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. 🐾 Around here, the dogs have me on a pretty reliable schedule! Since I work from home, my days naturally include potty breaks, walks, playtime, treats (when approved!), and belly rubs. Your pet will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone wondering when their humans are coming back. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful. That's why my goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, loved, and spoiled in all the right ways. With over 20 years of pet-parent experience, I'll keep routines consistent, provide plenty of attention, and send updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Samantha sent updates once or twice every day, plus several pictures. I always knew exactly how each day had gone. She was very good about taking our energetic little puppy out for sunshine and playtime. She was very sweet and understanding and I highly recommend her!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Venice can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Venice home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Venice.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Venice sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
