“Lynn was great with the boys. It was a happy feeling for us everyday that Simon and Sully were in home and taken care of. Lynn updated us regularly and sent is pictures. She even watered the plants! We could not have been happier.”
“Mark did such an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away! He was incredibly communicative the entire time and regularly kept us updated. One of our dogs has a bit of separation anxiety and he did such a good job comforting her through the first day of us being gone. He also probably gave them more exercise than we typically do 😅 and was very trustworthy in our home. Would highly recommend him!!”
“Justin was a great and trusted sitter for our boy while we were gone overnight. Took wonderful care of him and was an excellent communicator. Sent us photos and took great care of the house. Cleaned up after himself which was very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an in home sitter.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm, caring for animals was just a part of everyday life, and that’s where my love for them really began. From feeding and cleaning up after them to making sure they were healthy and happy, I learned early on that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. That passion led me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. My education gave me a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and how to care for pets with different needs, whether they’re playful puppies, curious kittens, or senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they enjoy them!). My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a housekeeper, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s stopping by for a walk, spending quality time playing, keeping up with feeding schedules, or staying overnight, I truly enjoy being there for each pet. I love getting to know every animal’s unique personality, and I make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. For me, caring for pets never feels like work, it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. When I’m caring for your pet in your home my biggest goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll stick to their normal routine as closely as possible whether that means feeding them on schedule taking them for walks playing with them or just spending time giving them extra love and attention. I know every pet is different and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality. Some pets want to play the whole time while others are happiest just having someone nearby. I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel cared for and loved. I also understand that trusting someone in your home is a big deal so I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
“Zoe did an outstanding job caring for our puppers. She is prompt and respectful in person and was very attentive to our dogs needs. During her stay she communicated very well with pictures and updates.”
“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“Jenna stepped in last minute when other plans unexpectedly fell through, and I am sure it was meant to be! She was wonderful to have sitting at our home, we never felt anything less than completely at ease with her being there. She did a fantastic job taking care of our rambunctious corgi and kitties, we look forward to using her Rover services again!”
“Tricia is wonderful! Boarding got to be a bit too much for our senior dog so we started exploring a stay at home option. SO thankful to have found Tricia. She sent us several daily updates and photos and was so patient and kind about our old guy. She took great care of the house too and even brought a plant back to life I forgot to move to the sprinklers. A great experience overall and we will be booking with her again.”
“Marie was great! She brought along treats to calm Sadie upon arrival, sent pics and comments throughout her stay, and kept our home tidy as well. We’ll be using her services again soon!”
“Claudette was absolutely amazing. She was so thoughtful and caring, and my pup and kitty were so relaxed and happy when I got home. This was the first time she house sat for us, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She has a great background with animals, so you feel confident that she’ll give them the love and attention they need. Newton and Tucker took to her quickly.”
“Jessica did great with our 3 dogs. She sent a lot of updates and kept us informed on how our dogs were doing. She also did a fun little craft with them. We would use her again!”
“Kayla was wonderful! I knew the moment she met Zaydan she was good people. He loved her immediately. I was so nervous leaving him for 2 weeks and going out of the country. Kayla was in contact everyday and sending me updates and pictures. I got home 2 days ago and my boy misses her! Looking out the door, waiting to see her again. If that’s not a sign of a fantastic pet sitter, I don’t know what is. Thank you Kayla!! We can’t wait to see you again.”
About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly. I have taken care of both dogs and cats with special needs, behavioral issues, and senior pets. I love taking both on walks, car rides, park trips, etc. whatever they like to do! Currently working a hybrid job so I can work from home if needed. I’m more of a home body so I will have plenty of chill time with your fur babies. I also like going on outdoor adventures like walks and dog parks weather permitting. At home I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is one friendly dog and one solitary but other pet friendly senior cat. Both can be secluded to the upstairs if needed.
About: I have been working at a Pet Resort for the past year and a half where I complete basic pet care, cleaning, daycare, and walks/playtimes! I also have a dog of my own and will also be attending college this fall going to learn to be a vet tech. *Please note that I will be leaving for college beginning/mid August* I work part time at a Pet Resort, so my hours a pretty flexible in taking care of any sorts of animals. I really love my job and what I do and I am diligent in providing animal care. I am flexible in providing whatever care your animal needs! I do have a dog and cat of my own, but I am completely open to any types of instructions provided and am flexible in doing so.
About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
“KIm easily picked up my herding dog’s quirks & rolled with it! I had full confidence in her. She was very communcative & sent MANY pictures. We returned to a calm, happy pup! Thank you very much!”

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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
