About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout most of my adult life and understand that they’re truly part of the family. Having cared for pets for many years, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. One of the pet families I currently care for affectionately calls me “Uncle Bob.” That’s exactly the kind of relationship I hope to build with the pets in my care. I’m dependable, patient and attentive, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets and your home seriously. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens as well as adult and senior dogs and cats. I’ll carefully follow the routines and instructions you provide so your pets receive the care they’re accustomed to. I provide more than a quick drop-in. During your pet’s 30- or 60-minute visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of personal attention along with fresh water, feeding and a potty break or walk when appropriate. Playtime, cuddles and brushing are all part of the visit when your pet enjoys them. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime, brushing and belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’ll give them the individual attention they’re used to receiving from you. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the day for drop-in visits, dog walks and cat care, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule visits around the times they’re accustomed to being fed, walked or having some company. Keeping their routine as familiar as possible can help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether you need regular weekly visits, an occasional helping hand or care while you’re away, I’ll work with you to find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are very important to me. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow the instructions and routines you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box care and any special instructions for your pet. I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, use your pet’s leash or harness as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings during walks and visits. I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. While you’re away, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and adjust lights or blinds as requested. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, your home is secure, and I’ll send you a photo and update so you know how the visit went.

Anna B. is the best! We are so fortunate to have found her through Rover. Anna took good care of our cat while we were gone for the week. She took care of his needs and constantly updated me with photos and messages. While taking care of him, my cat needed veterninary care. She did not hesitate to bring him for an exam. Anna is a kind and compassionate person who loves animals. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to take care of your pet. The next time we go out of town, we will definitely call upon her services. We couldn't ask for anyone better for the job. Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my fur baby.

About: I’ve cared for small to medium-sized dogs in home settings, including overnight stays and multi-day visits. My experience includes feeding, walking, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment while their owners are away. I’ve also managed multiple dogs at once, so I’m attentive to different personalities and routines. I focus on providing calm, consistent care and making sure each dog feels safe and supported. Pet care fits into my routine outside of my school hours, so I’m able to be present and focused during walks and visits. I plan my time so I’m not rushing and can give each dog proper attention I’m respectful of your home and your dog’s routine. I follow any instructions you leave and keep things calm and consistent so your dog feels safe while you’re away. I pay attention to their behavior and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Your pets are like my little brothers and sisters ✨

Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!

About: I’ve been a dog owner of Cairns and Westies. We have a two year old German Shepherd. I just love the companionship of dogs. Love helping seniors with walking dogs or housesitting their pets for their trips away from home. I have recently moved from Colorado to Venice. I love walking dogs and caring for them. Weekend and overnight care is also available with some notice. As an owner of a German Shepherd I’m fully aware how difficult it can be to kennel your bff (pet). I love caring for pets as if they are my own. Give me a call and allow me the opportunity to take care of your pet dog. I will walk and feed your dog (s). Stay with them and play, pet and cuddle to ease any anxiety they may have in your absence.

About: My husband, Trevor, and I both grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and he even had several birds! Over our years together we have loved three dogs, a bearded dragon, and a turtle. We have also been relied on, and trust by, many friends and family members to take care of their pets while at work or away. We have an especially soft spot for dogs and are taking our unbeatable belly rubs full-time with drop-in care and walking for small to medium (up to 40lbs) dogs. Larger dogs will be considered if they are a companion to a smaller dog. I also provide drop-in cat and other pet care upon request. Pet care is my (Morgan) full-time job, so your pet will receive my full time and attention during each play-date or walk. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Additionally, I am available all day on most weekends. Please reach out with your pet’s needs - I can’t wait to meet them! Tail waggin walks, play, and cozy cuddles await! Pet care is my full-time job, so you can rest assured your pup will be well supervised and cared for throughout the play-date. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Go on - schedule that tail waggin walk or play-date! When you book a walk or play-date with me - you and your pet become family. You can expect the same level of care and respect as we give to our baby boys. Barker, our chunky frenchie, and Gus, our hilarious little chorkie, receive daily walks and playtime at the dog park and yard (weather accommodating). When the rain or heat keeps us in, Barker loves to chase a ball or play tug of war, while Gus enjoys scratches and a cozy nap! Whatever your pet’s speed - I am here to accommodate and ensure they receive the highest level of care, always.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life so I have a lot of experience caring for them. They become my family and I love them dearly. I treat them better than most people treat their children. I would do anything for them, and I would treat any other pet the exact same way, as if they were my own. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, great for running and playing. I live in a safe neighborhood with large sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. I have a standard poodle and a mini-poodle who love to run and play together, they would make your pet feel welcomed and right at home. I also have two cats that are very friendly and loves the dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around visits, ensuring, consistent, reliable care, timely walks, feedings, and regular updates. I follow each pets routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates for peace of mind.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Venice

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Venice on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,656 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Venice stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Venice with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
