“Tracy was great while I was out of the country for 8 days. She stayed at my home with my dog Oliver and everything was great. Oliver was very comfortable with her. I appreciated her willingness to come and meet us before hand. Will book her again”
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.
“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.”
“Sharon was an outstanding pet sitter. We felt at ease and she was great about giving us updates. It was wonderful to be able to relax and not worry. In addition, she stayed at our home and everything was immaculate. With two cats and an elderly dog to care for, this was not an easy task. We highly recommend her to others.”

About: I have experience with small to large breed dogs as well as cats, small animals and reptiles. I’ve had pets my whole life and they’ve always been a big part of the family. I’ve been responsible for feedings, bathing, medications of my own animals as well as family and friends. I love all animals! One of my former jobs was a small animal and reptile specialist at petco! I’m a former military brat (Air Force) but have been in the area for 20 years now. I have a teen in high school who wants to go to college to become a veterinarian :).

“Allie was the perfect sitter for my home! She was very communicative, giving awesome updates and so much love to my pets. Samara is usually very standoffish with people, and Allie even was able to give her pets and attention. Nina was very happy with her, and Goku felt comfortable with her. Overall, I highly recommend Allie, and would love to use her again on my future trips!”
About: Hi! I'm Jill and I'd love to help take care of your pet - whether that's an afternoon walk, a pet sit or anything in between. I've had pets of my own for many years, including my cat Dot who passed in 2014 and my dog of 14 years Coconut, who I lost in 2026. Now that I don't have pets of my own, I want to spread the love and care for others' animals. I'm a single working professional with a flexible work and volunteering schedule, which means I can spend ample time with your baby - whether they want lots of activity or just someone to hang with them on the couch. Over the years, my family has had many pets (my mom fostered animals out of our home), and my sister is a vet (always on call for me as needed!). I have also watched others' pets for many years (mostly dogs and cats) and have experience with senior pets, diabetic pets and asthmatic pets. Yes, I know how to give a cat an inhaler :) I know your pet is a precious family member, and I will ensure s/he is in the best possible care under my watch - whether it's for a walk or an overnight stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Please reach out with any questions or for more references. I'm currently working remote (from home) and have an extremely flexible schedule. I am also somewhat mobile and willing to travel for pet sitting. I believe routine is important for animals and for people. I will do my best to ensure consistency in your pet's routine - whether that's feeding times, exercise, play time, pet time. I know every animal and every situation is unique. I want to understand how you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable so that I can continue that care.
“Kai was excellent with our two dogs. We were gone during tropical storm Debbie and she had everything under control. The house was in great shape when we got home and she had even offered to stay an extra night if our flights were delayed. We will definitely hire Kai again!”
“Libah was wonderful! Great communication and I felt so comfortable with her in my home with my best friend marlee & her sister the cat! Will definitely be using Libah again in the future!”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”
“Holly and her husband were amazing!! My dog has never been left with anyone but us and he can be very intimidating. They handled him with grace and pure love for 4 days! I have since rebooked and I highly recommend them! I couldn’t be more satisfied.”
“Monica was incredible! She truly went above and beyond to take care of our pup while we were out of the country. The worst part of any vacation is leaving Nori but Monica kept our minds at ease. Highly recommend!!”

“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.”

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!
We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Naomi! She took incredible care of our French and English bulldog, giving them so much love, attention, and cuddles while we were away. It’s clear our pups felt totally comfortable and safe—like they were right at home. From the updates and photos to the thoughtful care, Naomi went above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands gave us total peace of mind. We would absolutely love to have her watch our dogs again—our pups already miss them! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly attentive sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Venice
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venice on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,028 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 98% 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.
