“My husband was away this week and couldn't walk out our dog during the day. Samantha walked our dog 3 days during lunch time. Was punctual, professional, and attentive to our dog's needs.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I've grown up around animals my whole life, with cats always in the house and a dog who was part of my family for about 5 years. Over the last year, I've regularly cared for my cousin's dogs, including stays that lasted for weeks at a time. I'm patient, reliable, and happy to follow your pet's routine, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I'd love to meet your pet before a booking to make sure it's a great fit! I’m currently doing some school online but not working any other jobs so I’m super flexible and excited to be around some sweet furry friends! I care for pets in your home by following the routine they already know, so they stay comfortable in familiar surroundings. That includes fresh food and water on their regular schedule, walks and playtime for dogs, litter box care for cats, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I take my time with shy or nervous pets and let them warm up at their own pace. I send photo and text updates during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, and I'm happy to meet beforehand to go over your pet's needs, habits, and quirks, plus where everything is kept in your home.

I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every pet is treated like family. I understand that each pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I make it a priority to follow their owner’s instructions carefully.

About: Hi there! I am very good with all kinds of pets; big ones, little ones, old ones you name it! I have been told by everyone who knows me that I just light up when I'm around animals. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have the sweetest maltipoo of my own. I will love to care for your babies as if they were mine. Please understand I would like to check on mine as well.

I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters as well and can promise your pets will be as happy as ever with me. Look forward to meeting you and them soon :) I am a full time server as well as a student so my schedule varies and can be long hours of being away from the home. I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I like to get to know their routine so we can keep it as close to normal as possible while you’re gone so that it goes smoothly while you’re away. I can update you with plenty of photos or videos if that is more comforting for you as well.

About: I have worked as an office coordinator in a veterinary clinic when I was younger and have always had a extreme LOVE for animals. We have always had pets in our family and would love to show some love to yours, while bringing you peace of mind. I am not currently working, so very flexible when it comes to schedules. I can do a last minute pop in, if need be. Happy to help out in what ever manner you might need. We live in a townhouse, so if your fur baby is here, I will have them on a leash at all times. I love walking, so if they need lots of excersize, that is what I would do with them. We do have a dog and a cat in our home.
About: I have traveled around the world and cared for all kinds of animals (including farm animals). I love animals and they love me (since I was a child). I am caring, genuine and trustworthy. I am responsible and respectful and would be honored to take care of your furbaby. My schedule is flexible at the moment so I can be available any day of the week, including weekends. Just reach out and let me know what you need. I care for pets as instructed by the owner, but always with kindness and awareness. I know it is a huge responsibility so I am present when I am with the pet on walks, not distracted on the phone, etc.

About: Highly reliable I offer plenty of love and affection for your dog with undivided attention and personal care. I have always owned dogs and know first hand how to care for them. My open schedule allows me to keep your pets routine. I’m retired and looking to help take care of your dog. I do not have a dog of my own right now which makes boarding in my home flexible. Daily walks are also flexible in my schedule. I have a first floor condo with lanai in a pet friendly community. There is also a dog park in walking distance. I am also available to come to your home for daily walks and feeding/walking.

About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and have always had a special love for animals. I am patient, dependable, affectionate, and very attentive to each dog’s individual personality and routine. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, puppy care, and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention.

About: I am a CPDT-KA certified, positive reinforcement dog trainer, and have worked in the professional pet care world for close to 20 years, with a lifetime love and heart for animals. I have spent the last few years doing private training lessons for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. I specialize in basic training, puppy training, family transitions (new baby, move, etc) as well as Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog training. Prior to that I worked for 7 years with a wonderful training group in the suburbs of Detroit where I not only taught and assisted with a variety of classes, I also worked in their dog walking and pet sitting department. In addition to that, my work history ranges from veterinary clinics, horse farms, dog daycares as well as shelter work and beyond. From a very young age I was drawn to and connected to animals and time always flew when I was beside them. I was that kid that would find stray cats to bring home, would knock on neighbors' doors and ask if I could walk their dog for free, and traded barn work for horse lessons as a young teen. I am so blessed to be working in a field that doesn't feel like work!! I am a full time mom and wife and part time dog trainer. I am happy to fit your pets' care into my daily routine and family's schedule. Please know my availability generally is around my kids' school schedule. My kids are very respectful and animal savvy, so if you are okay with them tagging along, that often opens up my availabilty more. I have cared for as well as owned a variety of animals with varying needs over the years. I understand and empathize the stress that can occur from having to leave your pet in the hands of someone else. I strive to make sure your pet is cared for with their individual needs, with lots of love, and most importantly your peace of mind while you are away for a day, a week, or longer. I treat my clients' pets with tender love and care like they were my own, just like how I would want my own pet to be cared for.
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently have 2 big boys. My friends, neighbors and family have always relied on me to care for their animals and love them like my own! As both of my dogs are rescues I had to put a lot of time into training them. I trained them to stop being reactive, to heel, sit, stay, and even ring our doorbell by the front door when they need to use the potty. Being that my dogs were reactive I am very accustomed to big dogs who pull and bark- so if that's your case you can rest assured they'll be safe with me. We will discuss what's best for your dog or dogs and I'll be sure to adhere to that specifically. I understand the stress of allowing others to care for your fur babies so I'll ensure to be very thorough and remain open contact with pictures and videos throughout my visit(s). I'll always leave a note for you as well so you know how it went for them! I just moved here from Bonita Springs and as we jumpstart our catering business I have plenty of extra time on my hands! I am comfortable with dog baths, car rides, administering oral medicine, long walks, I can even take your dog on a 2 mile run if their vet approves it! Growing up in my dad's home we had 5 dogs on his property at one point! I've been around dogs since I was a baby. We have had small dogs like chihuahuas, and big 100 pound rescue mutts as well. I rescued my one dog at 6 months old so I raised him from a puppy up. My second dog was sadly abused before I got him and has scars to show it. He is the sweetest angel in the world and has come so far in terms of training and coming out of his shell to be comfortable around humans again. As a child i've been attacked by dogs but my love for them never wavered- if anything it encouraged me to learn more about their behavior and how to make them comfortable. I understand now more than ever when a dog is uncomfortable, distressed, anxious, etc. I hope to hear from you soon and see how I can help make your life easier for you and your furry baby! Currently I'm only working part time so I have plenty of time to watch after your babies! I will let you know if there's a specific time or day i'm not available. I have a two story home and 2 loving dogs who can keep your babies company. I can also separate them with my gates that I have, or cage if need be. While my yard is very small for quick bathroom or zoomie use, we also do have a dog park in the community as well as plenty of long & wide walking paths. I do walks every 4 hours or less if needed for your animal. I have cameras in the front, back, and inside of my home so my eyes will always be on them even if i'm running to the store. I never leave home more than 4 hours at a time- even that will only be subject to your approval.

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Venice is $15 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $23 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,646 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Venice. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Venice after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
