“Our cats love Lisa! They get so much TLC attention and play time! They are probably wondering when we'll go on vacation or business trip so that Lisa can come over spending time with them. She also takes great care of our house while we are out. She is responsible, trustworthy, and great cats lover. I strongly recommend her if you haven't had a chance to work with her! 👍👍👍”
About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.
“Jacob has been wonderful. Frenchie and Mookie just love his company. The photos have been heartwarming to see as we’ve been away. The dogs are happy and I’ve been happy. Jacob’s communication has been too notch. Thank you, Jacob.”
“Maya was incredible with our dogs! She was very patient with our dogs, as well as took the time to connect and empathize with them. She did a great job adapting and establishing routines with them. We really appreciated Maya’s attention to detail, her communication, as well as all of her updates and photos. Maya gave us a lot of confidence that our pups were well taken care of and given lots of love while we were away. They also seemed to be doing great when we returned! We highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone to care for their dogs!”
“Patience was fantastic to work with when it came to watching our three cats. She was provided excellent care and attention for our boys. During the drop-ins she would also send photos of the boys, which put me at such ease. I am so happy we were able to work with Patience and hope to book her again in the future.”
About: I will provide a fun and loving vacay for your pet, while you are away. Your fur baby will be well taken care of and loved in my home. I am well versed in puppy training from potty training to crate training and learning to walk on a leash, through positive reinforcement. I will love, care for and play with your loved one as they are my own. My home has a fully fenced in yard that is easily accessible via a doggy door. For senior pets, there are no stairs in the home. I own the property next to me so there is also plenty of room there to play and chase balls. I am happy to discuss with you how I can best care for your animal while your are away to ensure a smooth and stress free experience for both. I currently work full time M-F from 7am until 3:30pm. I am available for boarding at my home 7 days a week. I will ensure your animal gets plenty of play time before I go to work and upon my return. I have a fully fenced in yard that is accessible via the doggy door of their own personal play room in my home. Your fur baby will be kept company by my loving and playful Australian Cattle Dog. While I am away from the home dogs are kept in the back playroom. I am willing to help and assist in crate training if needed or desired. While I am home your pet will be welcomed to be apart of my family whether it’s hiking, going for walks or just a night in chilling by the fire and watching TV. Your animal we be treated and loved as my own.
About: I have a special love for dogs and walking! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm M-F and all day on weekends. I’d love to take your pets out on busy evenings or weekends! I offer pet watching at other clients homes. My current roommate has a dog and for safety and comfort I’d like your pet in their own home and environment.
“Ryland ( like Island :) ) did a great job taking care of Sonny - it was so wonderful getting a daily progress report and pictures while away from my furry one. It brings a real sense of comfort knowing Sonny was well taken care of and it couldn't have been done without Ryland's kind asisstance. Thank you again Ryland - much appreciated.”
“I am a first time customer. Abby made the experience great. She walked me through the process and made me feel confident about the care she takes with our cat. She was professional, reliable and so kind. I’m looking forward to scheduling Abby for April and July vacations if she’s available.”
“Pamela was great. Very communicative. Took Sancho for a long walk and sent several pictures dying the 2 hour visit. I felt like he was very safe and well cared for. Thank you Pamela!”
About: I currently have been working at a doggy day camp/boarding center for about five months now and I love it! I’ve grown up with and been around cats and dogs my whole life (so technically almost 20 years of experience with cats/dogs)! I also work with reactive dogs so I understand them and how to properly handle them. I have done all the shifts at my job but mostly do the mornings so I’m very comfortable with feeding and administering medications if needed! I have handled the smallest to the biggest of dogs, most breeds but all sizes and ages! Before starting at this job, I did some pet sitting and dog walking too. I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I have pretty normal days off, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my normal shifts are 6-2, Thurs-Mon, sometimes they are different. I could do pretty much anytime on my days off and after my shifts when I do work! I will very regularly update my availability on here, you can also always reach out to me to ask and see if I am available if the calendar says I’m not! :) I have a 10-year-old female Ragdoll that’s been around most of my life, (she is mine), and I live with my parents who have two English Bulldogs! I always make sure that her litter box is clean and fresh for her. I regularly check her food and water to always make sure she has some. She is a quiet independent girl so caring for her isn’t too complicated. My parents dogs are a little bit more complicated. Both of them have daily meds that they need to get and I give it to them when I am needed to. I feed them and take them to go potty and walks very normally!
“Jennifer went above and beyond with my three cats for my three day trip. Facetime meet and great went great, she was flexible, she asked questions when needed, and kept me updated with my pets’ the entire time with photos. Would recommend to anyone needing an overnight or drop in pet sitter.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and quirks, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe and happy. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little things—from making sure a nervous pup feels comfortable to keeping an energetic dog entertained and giving senior pets the extra patience and care they need. I’m also very conscientious about following feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, exercise routines, and each owner’s preferences. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as I would want someone to care for my own. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, comfortable experience while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My schedule gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, dependable care throughout the week. I’m able to plan my day around my pet-care commitments, including walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, rather than rushing through them. I’m flexible with scheduling and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m happy to work with owners on feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care instructions to keep their pets as comfortable and happy as possible. When I commit to caring for a pet, I make them a priority—not just another stop on my schedule. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any special care before I begin. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets throughout their visit, walks, or stay. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would expect for my own. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and leave the home clean and secure when I leave. Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or taking them for a walk, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
About: I have years of experience petsitting and housesitting for family and friends. I love working with dogs of all sizes and enjoy caring for cats as well. I have experience volunteering as a dog-walker at Blue Mountain Humane Society and enjoy making fast friends with pets of all personalities. I also have a B.A. in Biology. I have a calm, gentle, and caring approach and I'll make sure your animal family members are safe and happy and your home is looked after with care while you're away. I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide pet care. I am looking to provide short-term petsitting, housesitting, and dog walking services. I am a reliable pet and house sitter who is happy to provide drop-in visits or extended care for your pets in your home as well as dog-walking. I am currently renting and cannot have pets in my own space so I look forward to giving your pets lots of care and attention.
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
About: BIPOC REQUESTZ ONLY I have loved and spent time with Frend Dogz & Katz from early age. I grew up with a Frend Dog from when they was a puppy until they passed away at sixteen years old. I’ve also loved playing with my friend’s Frend Dogz & Katz. I pay attention to their personality and really try to understand what they may be needing/wanting at that time. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my hours are really flexible. I am also available for house sitting on weekends. Reach out to me for any questions/concerns! I live with my family who has four cats, so I would not be able to dog sit here. However, cat-sitting can be an option. Contact me for more info on this if interested.
About: I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs gentle care, I adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Im currently working remotely and part time, so I have plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine. Great help for you and for me I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and happy. I keep a consistent routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet rest periods. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level, and adjust activities to fit their personality.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venice
Lisa and David were fantastic. I’d book them again without hesitation. They took wonderful care of Sunny and Pebbles for a week. Our cats are shy rescues, and they were standoffish at first, but Lisa and David patiently found ways to win them over, and soon the cats were playing and back to their routine. When our Litter-Robot malfunctioned, they had workarounds in place right away so the cats were never affected. Great communication throughout and they went above and beyond.
Christopher did a great job caring for my kitty with some unique health issues which required giving her medication and cleaning up accidents, which made her a bit higher maintenance than usual. He connected with her almost right away and I felt reassured knowing she was well care for while I was away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
