“Katelyn was very conscientious and followed all instructions to a “T.” I did not have to worry about anything, as she communicated often and asked questions if she was unsure about something. The house was spotless when we returned! I would not hesitate to have her sit our boys again.”
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.
“Sharon was AMAZING! It’s been years since anyone outside our family has watched our dog so we were a little nervous. She took him on walks, spent time with him on our lanai and sent us lots of updates with pictures. Highly recommend Sharon!!”

About: I volunteered at a grooming shop for two years, taking care of dogs and cats. My responsibilities included cleaning, taking them out for potty breaks, feeding them, playing with them, and ensuring they felt comfortable and loved. Currently, I have my own two dogs, a chihuahua miniature pincher mix named Vixey and pitbull terrier mix named Scrappy. I would love to care for your special needs pets, seniors, or any other animals. I can also babysit them overnight and take them for walks of up to three miles.

It’s important to note that while I deeply care for the pets, I do not offer house-sitting services at my own residence. Instead, I am fully available to provide house-sitting services at the client’s home, ensuring that their pets are well-cared for in a familiar setting.
“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”
About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Hey! I’m Yokra but I go by Shira :) 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and have 7 years of experience caring for my own dogs, including two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle. I’m caring, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family! 🤍 I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’d love to spend my free time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. I keep up with their feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any routines their owners provide. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and love, while keeping their environment clean and safe. I have two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and lots of love. ❤️
About: I grew up with big dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience pet sitting both during the day and for overnight stays, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big dogs—as well as cats. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means I have lots of love, attention, and care to give yours! I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and would love to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I teach at an outdoor school from 8:30–2:30 and am typically home by 3:00 every day, giving me plenty of afternoon and evening availability for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. My schedule is consistent and predictable, so it’s easy for me to build your pet’s routine into my day. I’m also available for overnight care and weekends! I want pets to feel as comfortable and at home with me as possible! I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and downtime, while giving them plenty of love and attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all sizes and ages. I can handle any need that your fur baby will have. Excited to help! I work until 2:15 during the week Monday through Friday so my services will be limited to the afternoon, however, I’m available all day on weekends. At my home, I have a backyard that can be closed off for most dogs (except the most skilled escape artists). I also own an incredibly friendly golden doodle named Lucy who is 2 years old.
“This was our first time engaging Laura to watch our pets and we are delighted with her care of our elderly cat and 2 giant dogs. She also left our home in such excellent condition, it didn’t seem like anyone had stayed here. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs, horses, and other animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me.

I’m able to plan my availability around my clients’ needs and provide dependable, one-on-one attention to their pets.

“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”

If I could give Stephanie a 10 or 20 star rating I would. She took such amazing care of my 3 senior citizen pups and kitty Layla. She did 4 nights overnight and it was, for the first time in a very long time, a stress free trip up north. Stephanie kept me updated, helped with meds for my one dog, even prepared homemade food for the dogs. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t trust her more with my home and my animals. She loved my animals like they were her own. I highly recommend Stephanie and Cant thank her enough.
Debra did a fantastic job caring for my babies! She was very good at communicating and sending me updates while I was gone. She stayed in my house and left it tidy when she left. Debra has cared for our babies 2 times now and I trust her to keep them in the future.
Tracey was a terrific sitter and friend to Maizee. Even before we left, she made time to come by and get to know our dog. We appreciated the time she took to come by. She arrived early on the day of our departure which alleviated any concerns before we left and made the transition easy. Tracey kept in touch with us and followed our instructions exactly. She developed a friendship with our pet. The house was neat and clean when we arrived home. Tracey seems to enjoy pet sitting and cares about the pet she is with. We will definitely call on Tracey again when we need a caring and attentive sitter.
We are so glad we found Carrie to stay with our Grady. She is caring and patient and we knew he was in good hands. We loved getting the photos and updates. She stayed at our home, and we would not have known she was here. It's hard to leave your pet, so having peace of mind that they are safe and cared for is huge for us. We hope Carrie is available for our next time away.
Joanna was wonderful with Izzy. She spent tons of time with her and Izzy really seemed to like her. Joanna kept in constant communication with photos and kept the house neat and clean. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Joanna and Izzy said hope to see you soon!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Venice walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Venice maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
