“Erin was wonderful with our two pups, who tend to struggle when we leave, but adjusted to her with ease. She regularly communicated and really enjoyed our dogs. She really centered her focus and care on our dogs and their needs which gave us the reassurance we needed to enjoy our trip. She took great care of our home too. We will absolutely book her again.”

“I cannot recommend her highly enough! She was phenomenal and went above and beyond in caring for my dogs and my home. From the start, she truly listened to my care instructions and respected the routines and individual needs of each dog. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind while I was away. I returned to a clean, tidy home and, most importantly, happy dogs who had clearly been loved and well cared for. As a pet owner, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing someone treats your dogs with that level of care. She exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely trust her with them again!”

About: My experience with animals comes from caring for pets throughout my life, including my own dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, such as feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I’ve also helped care for kittens from birth, which gave me hands-on experience with young animals and taught me the importance of patience, cleanliness, observation, and consistency. I understand that every pet is different, and I make an effort to learn each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs rather than treating every animal the same. Besides my taking care of my own pets my time is free I’m currently unemployed just a full time pet mom and wouldn’t mind taking care of other pets like my own I Have family that helps me take care of my pets at home if needed I also make sure my pets have everything they need when I leave according to how long I will be gone so no need to bring them with me

About: I have taken care of pets of various types for more than 20 years. I have cared for family, friends, and colleagues' pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am generally available every day of the week mornings and evenings are fine. I live in a large one bedroom apartment with plenty of room for your pups to play around. The back half of my building is fenced and isolated, the front half of the building is not fenced. There is a pet washing station in my building. There are several parks within walking distance, the outside can be easily accessed from my apartment to take your pets out for potty breaks and play. Dogs over 60lbs or unneutered animals will be a little extra fee.

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I work at a restaurant so have a somewhat flexible schedule. I can do drop ins, overnights, and walks. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and am committed to following your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship. I also know how important it is for pet parents to have peace of mind, so if requested, I can send regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have been watching friends and family’s pets since I could drive but have done it more consistently since my senior year of high-school and feel confident I can meet your pets needs while you are away I am currently working part time and I work early in the mornings starting at 5 or 6am, and usually only about 6 hours so I will be able to get back to your pet in a timely manner. I will be able to spend the rest of my day. If your pet is already used to you being gone for 8 hours at a time even better! I am used to putting dogs in their kennel/crate when leaving the house and giving them any medicine they need at the start of the day

About: I'm a devoted dog enthusiast who loves spending time with pups of all shapes and sizes! My primary passion is active dog walking, ensuring your furry friend gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need to thrive. I've also gained valuable experience with in-home dog sitting, providing comfortable and attentive care in their familiar surroundings. My background includes caring for a variety of dogs, focusing on their individual needs and routines. Whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood or a relaxing evening at home, I prioritize your pet's happiness and safety." What Sets Me Apart "What makes me a great choice for your pet is my enthusiasm for outdoor adventures combined with my commitment to personalized, loving care. I genuinely enjoy long walks and exploring new routes, making sure your dog gets more than just a quick stroll. For in-home stays, I focus on creating a stress-free environment, sticking closely to your pet's routine, and giving them plenty of belly rubs and playtime. I believe in clear and consistent communication, providing you with regular photo updates and quick check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. While I may not be a professional trainer, I'm highly attentive to dog behavior and dedicated to ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy under my care. My goal is to be a reliable and caring presence for your dog, giving you peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care for your pets. I have fixed free days every Thursday and Friday, which are perfect for extended visits, multiple walks, or full-day care. On other days, I'm happy to work around your needs. If you have specific dates in the future that require my assistance, I can request time off from my other commitments well in advance to ensure I'm available for your furry family members. This flexibility allows me to offer consistent and reliable care tailored to your pet's routine. When caring for your beloved pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my absolute top priorities. As I'll be caring for your pet in your home, I focus on maintaining their established routine and familiar surroundings to minimize any stress or disruption. I am meticulous about following your precise instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and playtime, ensuring complete consistency. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care, prioritizing home security during my visits. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for your pet, just as if you were there yourself. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, secure, and thriving under my attentive care.

She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”

About: I've spent over 40 years caring for animals, from small dogs like Mini Dachshunds and cats to large breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Chows, Pitbulls. I currently share my home with a long-haired German Shepherd and a beautiful long-haired domestic cat who are my babies. My daughter is also there while in college & has 2 cats so animals have always been an important part of my life, and to me, they're family, not just pets. In addition to caring for my own animals, I've provided pet sitting for friends and family, including multiple-dog and cat households. One of my most meaningful experiences has been caring for my German Shepherd following a serious attack that left him with very significant injuries. Helping him through his recovery gave me firsthand experience with the patience, attentiveness, and compassion required when an animal needs extra support. I'm comfortable administering oral medications according to instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is a tiny Dachshund, a large German Shepherd, or a beloved cat, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to make sure you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I've always seemed to have a special connection with animals, even those who are normally hesitant around people. There's a little shop I frequent with a resident cat who apparently doesn't warm up to many visitors. One day, she surprised her owner by jumping right into my arms! Moments like that mean the world to me. I've always believed animals are some of the very best judges of character. I currently work an interesting schedule that allows me several consecutive days off. I have a rotating schedule. One week I work Sun-Tues 6am-6pm and the next I work Sun-Wed. The days I work are 12 hr days. But depending on how close you are to my job (Bridgeton area) I could potentially check in on them on my hour lunch and then go there after work at 6pm.. I live in Illinois but I dont plan alot of things this time of year so I have pretty good availability. Shoot me a msg, we can probably work it out. Even holidays. Talk to you soon! :) I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, especially when their family is away. My goal is to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about each pet's personality, daily schedule, feeding instructions, medical needs, and any special behaviors or concerns. I also believe meeting beforehand is important so both the pets and their owners can feel comfortable with me. Safety is always my priority. I'm attentive to securely closing doors and gates, using appropriate leashes during walks, and being mindful of potential hazards. Having cared for my own German Shepherd through a serious recovery, I understand how quickly unexpected situations can arise and how important it is to pay attention to changes in an animal's behavior or well-being. I respect my clients' homes and privacy and will treat their property with the same care I give my own. I also believe communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they're away. Most importantly, I understand that I'm being trusted with two things that mean a great deal to someone: their beloved pets and their home. I take that responsibility seriously.

“Leroy was absolutely wonderful! He took care of our two dachshunds as if they were his own while we were out of town. Throughout our trip, he sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, healthy, and well cared for. By the end of the stay, they were genuinely sad to see him go! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Leroy for future trips. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Venice

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,607 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
