About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

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.

About: Hello! My name is Brittany. I have been on Rover for a few years now. I am “that girl” that will play with the family dog at a party. I have grown up owning dogs my entire life with 20+ years of experience. Currently, I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I am extremely responsible and would be more than willing to an interview prior. Your dog will get lots of exercise and love under my care! I would love to watch your dog(s) and look forward to hearing from you! Also CPR certified I work as a PT during the day. My husband is home all day and lets the dogs out in our fenced in yard multiple times a day. I am usually home by 3/4. I have weekends off. Everything is very safe and my yard is fenced in. They are allowed on the couch and have free roam of the house unless they prefer a crate.

About: Our family currently has a Labrador, guinea pig, Crested Gecko and fish. I have raised our dogs from puppies to seniors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust to come into your home and care for your pets. I also understand that it can be difficult for your pets and will give them lots of love. When caring for your pets I will always respect your wishes and direction. I am typically able to accommodate you and your pets needs with in a days notice and may be available for a same day drop in visit. I will keep your pet leashed and in your neighborhood while walking and give them love and attention once we are back at your home.

Debbie was a fabulous caregiver to my cat, Hadrian. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, even going as far as to adjust our original planned schedule to address his finicky eating habits. When I returned home from my 9 day trip, Hadrian was happy and well-adjusted. I appreciated Debbie's daily reports and pictures, and I was overjoyed to come home to find Hadrian's litter box area well swept. It was nice to not have to worry about cleaning the floor after a long plane ride. Debbie rocks!

What an awesome duo!! So gentle and loving with our Calli. They took the time to get to know her and us prior to our departure and continued to shower her with playtime and affection during our absence. Lots of photos sent and fun notes of their visits with her. Wonderful people, we thank you dearly! Sylvia and Leslie

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,678 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
  • 97% 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.
