Haley was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, trustworthy, and kind to my dog. She always took him for the full amount of walk time and was great about letting me know if he went to the bathroom. I would highly recommend her!

About: I’m that person who greets the dog before the human. 🐾 Whether it’s working on puppy manners, giving extra care to seniors, or long walks for high-energy pups, I tailor every visit to their personality. My goal is simple — happy, tired, and loved dogs (and totally stress-free owners). I'm currently working part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to meet your and your pet's needs! Taking care of animals fits easily into my week; it’s something I truly enjoy doing, not just a task to check off. I look forward to my walks, feedings, and hangouts with each pet like they’re my own. I am very detail-oriented and excel in organization so whatever uncommon requests you have, count on me to follow them! Patience is a strong suit, as well as caution, to ensure your pet's safety is my number one priority.

Susan was wonderfully patient with our very fearful dog. She worked to gain his trust and now he is happy to see her and go for a walk with her. Very glad we found Susan!

About: I am a CPDT-KA certified, positive reinforcement dog trainer, and have worked in the professional pet care world for close to 20 years, with a lifetime love and heart for animals. I have spent the last few years doing private training lessons for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and breeds. I specialize in basic training, puppy training, family transitions (new baby, move, etc) as well as Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog training. Prior to that I worked for 7 years with a wonderful training group in the suburbs of Detroit where I not only taught and assisted with a variety of classes, I also worked in their dog walking and pet sitting department. In addition to that, my work history ranges from veterinary clinics, horse farms, dog daycares as well as shelter work and beyond. From a very young age I was drawn to and connected to animals and time always flew when I was beside them. I was that kid that would find stray cats to bring home, would knock on neighbors' doors and ask if I could walk their dog for free, and traded barn work for horse lessons as a young teen. I am so blessed to be working in a field that doesn't feel like work!! I am a full time mom and wife and part time dog trainer. I am happy to fit your pets' care into my daily routine and family's schedule. Please know my availability generally is around my kids' school schedule. My kids are very respectful and animal savvy, so if you are okay with them tagging along, that often opens up my availabilty more. I have cared for as well as owned a variety of animals with varying needs over the years. I understand and empathize the stress that can occur from having to leave your pet in the hands of someone else. I strive to make sure your pet is cared for with their individual needs, with lots of love, and most importantly your peace of mind while you are away for a day, a week, or longer. I treat my clients' pets with tender love and care like they were my own, just like how I would want my own pet to be cared for.

About: As a dependable and detail-oriented professional, I bring a calm, nurturing energy and a high level of responsibility to pet sitting. My background has instilled in me a deep respect for routines, cleanliness, and clear communication—meaning your home will be kept immaculate, and your pets will receive their meals, medications, and exercise exactly on schedule. Above all, I am genuinely attentive to animal behavior, ensuring your dogs or cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, giving you complete peace of mind. Because I have a completely flexible, open schedule, I am available all day to dedicate my full attention to your pets. Unlike sitters who rush out for standard 9-to-5 jobs, my day revolves entirely around your animal's needs. This means I am consistently on hand to provide frequent bathroom breaks, maintain precise feeding and medication schedules, and offer plenty of daytime companionship and play. Your pets won't have to spend long hours waiting alone, giving them a stress-free, comfortable routine and giving you total peace of mind throughout the day. Because I am available throughout the entire day, I can dedicate my full attention to maintaining your pet's exact daily routine right in the comfort of their own home. I strictly adhere to their familiar schedules for feeding, exercise, and medication so they experience zero disruption while you are away. Additionally, I keep a detailed, daily log of their activities, meals, and behavior, keeping you fully connected and informed. With me, your pets receive constant, reliable companionship, and you get the total peace of mind that comes from knowing their day is structured, safe, and fully accounted for.

We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!

About: Hey! I’m Yokra but I go by Shira :) 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and have 7 years of experience caring for my own dogs, including two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle. I’m caring, responsible, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family! 🤍 I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’d love to spend my free time caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. I keep up with their feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any routines their owners provide. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and love, while keeping their environment clean and safe. I have two Chihuahuas and a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and lots of love. ❤️

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout most of my adult life and understand that they’re truly part of the family. Having cared for pets for many years, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. One of the pet families I currently care for affectionately calls me “Uncle Bob.” That’s exactly the kind of relationship I hope to build with the pets in my care. I’m dependable, patient and attentive, and I take the responsibility of caring for your pets and your home seriously. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens as well as adult and senior dogs and cats. I’ll carefully follow the routines and instructions you provide so your pets receive the care they’re accustomed to. I provide more than a quick drop-in. During your pet’s 30- or 60-minute visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of personal attention along with fresh water, feeding and a potty break or walk when appropriate. Playtime, cuddles and brushing are all part of the visit when your pet enjoys them. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime, brushing and belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby for companionship, I’ll give them the individual attention they’re used to receiving from you. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the day for drop-in visits, dog walks and cat care, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule visits around the times they’re accustomed to being fed, walked or having some company. Keeping their routine as familiar as possible can help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether you need regular weekly visits, an occasional helping hand or care while you’re away, I’ll work with you to find a schedule that works well for you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are very important to me. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll carefully follow the instructions and routines you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box care and any special instructions for your pet. I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, use your pet’s leash or harness as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings during walks and visits. I also understand that you’re trusting me with your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. While you’re away, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and adjust lights or blinds as requested. Before leaving, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable, your home is secure, and I’ll send you a photo and update so you know how the visit went.

About: I have a special gift for earning the trust of shy, anxious, and hard-to-win-over cats—it's why many people call me a cat whisperer.. here's a little about me.... I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with four cats and have spent my entire life around animals. Many people call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats. I love helping nervous pets feel safe and comfortable, and I've seen many reserved or unfriendly cats become affectionate and trusting with patience and understanding. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and quiet approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and love. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a caregiver for the elderly and take care of animals in my spare time. Most of the clients I work with have pets which I tend to as well. I am around animals pretty much around the clock and absolutely love it. ❤️ When I'm working with clients, I give as much attention to their pets as I do to them. I am a highly sought-after caregiver due to my attentiveness to their animals and the love and care I give them. I treat each and every one as if they were my own pet. I pay attention to their individual needs and wants.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Venice Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Venice Gardens on Rover is $24.28 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,605 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Venice Gardens. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Venice Gardens. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Venice Gardens.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Venice Gardens. On Rover:

  • 94% of walkers 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
