“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.”
“Lynda has been a wonderful dog sitter for two of our recent out of town trips. She is respectful to our home, communicates timely, and our pups, a 10 year old greyhound and 3 year old terrier mix, are well cared for while we our gone. We will definitely be contacting her first for any future situations.”
“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“It was such a relief to find someone who is minutes from our house, who is caring, honest and trustworthy. Being very particular, I only wanted my precious Pierre to be in the care of one woman to care for him. Bittersweet, it took several sitters to find the perfect person... Carrie, you are so amazing. What a relief to find you and we do not want to lose you either! While we were out of town, our last trip, the previous sitter did not stay with our precious Pierre as we paid her to do so. It certainly pays to purchase a Canary camera and to also listen to your neighbors! Carrie, it was a blessing that you were available to get him at last minute and give him the attention he needed. Our week away in July was relieving and relaxing knowing that our Pierre was in your care. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us at last minute and being there for our sweet little four legged boy. He was so relaxed and calm when we arrived home. This validated how comfortable and happy he was in your care. Muah!!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! Stephanie took such wonderful care of Stanley and our cats, sent us sweet updates while we were away, and made it so easy for us to relax knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. She even brought them treats. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which was so incredibly thoughtful and far beyond anything we expected. She truly went above and beyond in every possible way. We will absolutely book her again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Susan took amazing care of our dog and cats while we were out of town for 2 weeks. Each day she shared photos and a story of the day's events. It was a great way to keep us connected. Our pets all seemed to become attached to Susan. Our house was equally well cared for. It looked exactly as we left it. We would without hesitation have Susan pet and house sit for us 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.

“Noelle was an amazing dog sitter for our active English Bulldog! She came for a meet and greet, and we hired her on the spot! Her communication was amazing throughout the process and the trip, and we could really enjoy our time away. It was a great feeling coming home to a pup that was happy, loved and comfortable in our home rather than in a kennel. We highly recommend Noelle!”
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.
“Kristen was so great! She was easy to work with, communicated, and most importantly, took great care of my dog. Kristen stayed with my dog at our house and made sure she was never left alone for too long, had enough exercise, and got lots of extra attention. And she kept me updated with photos the entire time. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venice
Erin does a great job watching our dogs and house while we are out of town. We’ve booked with Erin for eight trips over the past year and a half, plus several drop-ins. We’ve always been very satisfied. She sends pictures and videos every day, even utilizing effects such as slo-mo video and Bokeh. She spends a lot of time with the dogs, who appear to be enjoying themselves immensely. When we return from our travels, the house is spotless. We recommend Erin highly!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Venice is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 1,004 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Venice. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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 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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
