About: I enjoy walking and playing, and all the animals I have had the pleasure of taking care of benefit from that. My bloodhound /lab up north had high anxiety and high energy when we took her in, and after a few weeks of long walks twice a day she calmed down. My jack Russel was also high strung until her walks and playing. I live close to a park and to a trail which I walk to daily. I live in a peaceful area and my back yard is a bird haven. I have plenty of time, room, and love for your pet. I have taken care of friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for many years up north, and now I am ready to be your pets friend in the south. My house is set up to have plenty of room for any size dog. We are always outside and I live very close to a park.

About: Hi there! I am very good with all kinds of pets; big ones, little ones, old ones you name it! I have been told by everyone who knows me that I just light up when I'm around animals. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have the sweetest maltipoo of my own. I will love to care for your babies as if they were mine. Please understand I would like to check on mine as well. Thank you! Your dogs (or cats) will be in the best hands with me I can promise that! I will update with photos any time you would like I know it’s hard to be away from our pets. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters as well and can promise your pets will be as happy as ever with me. Look forward to meeting you and them soon :) I am a full time server as well as a student so my schedule varies and can be long hours of being away from the home. I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I like to get to know their routine so we can keep it as close to normal as possible while you’re gone so that it goes smoothly while you’re away. I can update you with plenty of photos or videos if that is more comforting for you as well.

About: Growing up on 3 acres of land and having many animals as pets, I have always owned pets and have a passion for loving and caring for them. This is for ALL breeds and all sizes. Animals not only bring joy to our lives but count on us to give them the best life too! I am extremely reliable, very friendly and energetic so your pet will get lots of exercise and play time. I believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet. I have lots of excellent references too. I have 2 sweet Pit Bulls of my own and absolutely love this breed of dogs, despite there terrible reputation that we as people have given them. I am used to strong, determined dogs that love to chase anything with a tail!! I also love cats, little dogs and ones that just want some love and cuddles on the couch!! I recently staryed my own pet transportation company and am taking a break from being on the road for the last 6 months to be home for the holidays! Please consider me when you need loving care for your pets!! I will send you updates and lots of pictures to put your mind at ease while you are away! I have pretty flexible hours but usually available mornings, evenings and weekends and am able to accept last minute bookings to accommodate your specific needs I have a fenced in backyard and 2 dogs at home. One loves other dogs and the other will be crated when other dogs are around.

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

About: As the daughter of veterinarian I've spent my entire life growing up with animals. I have also spent a few summers working at a kennel with many different dogs and cats. I work as a dietitian but am currently in between jobs and have a flexible schedule. I am available to take your pups for a walk or come watch your cats most days of the week. I am open to boarding cats in my home. I unfortunately cannot board any pups in my home but would be happy to house sit and watch your animals and get them out for a walk while you're away/ working.

About: hey! 🐾 My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I am an animal lover with a background in psychology and animal behavior. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician for kiddos with behavioral needs in Sarasota County Schools and often volunteer as a dog walker at Suncoast Humane Society! I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, shy pups who need a little extra patience, or sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart thanks to my soul dog, Sparkie, who passed away in 2024 at 16 years old. ❤️ Caring for him through his senior years gave me personal experience supporting dogs with arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. I’m happy to provide that same patience and thoughtful care to any dog who needs a little extra attention! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with love, respect their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in caring, attentive hands! **Availability 🗓️** I’m fully available on weekends and available for weekday walks Monday–Friday after 4 PM. Have a special request or need a different time? Feel free to message me! I’m happy to discuss exceptions and find a time that works for you and your pup. 🐶❤️ I am entirely free on Saturday and Sunday. M-F I am available after 4 pm. This is subject to change, please message with requests. From personal experience, I can empathize that leaving our furry friends can be an intimidating experience. However, I will do everything in my power to give your pet the same love, attention, and care that you would. I will actively communicate with you and ensure that my quality of care is nothing short of exceptional.

About: I have had animals of my own since I was 8 and have loved them all. Fur babies are so important and become part of the family. I have also been a volunteer with the Cincinnati animal shelter for the past 3 years so I am knowledgable with training and behavior issues. I have had dogs, cats, snakes and hamsters so I can handle whatever is thrown my way. I am a remote employee so I can make almost anything work! I do some outside of work activities & bartend 2 nights a week, but my schedule is very flexible. I do live in an apartment, but there is an outside area for dogs that they can play in. I am also close to parks if they have lots of energy! If there are cats I have some things here they can play with. I also am not opposed to some couch cuddles while I read!

About: I’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.

About: I have worked as an office coordinator in a veterinary clinic when I was younger and have always had a extreme LOVE for animals. We have always had pets in our family and would love to show some love to yours, while bringing you peace of mind. I am not currently working, so very flexible when it comes to schedules. I can do a last minute pop in, if need be. Happy to help out in what ever manner you might need. We live in a townhouse, so if your fur baby is here, I will have them on a leash at all times. I love walking, so if they need lots of excersize, that is what I would do with them. We do have a dog and a cat in our home.

About: I've had dogs all my life and currently have 2 big boys. My friends, neighbors and family have always relied on me to care for their animals and love them like my own! As both of my dogs are rescues I had to put a lot of time into training them. I trained them to stop being reactive, to heel, sit, stay, and even ring our doorbell by the front door when they need to use the potty. Being that my dogs were reactive I am very accustomed to big dogs who pull and bark- so if that's your case you can rest assured they'll be safe with me. We will discuss what's best for your dog or dogs and I'll be sure to adhere to that specifically. I understand the stress of allowing others to care for your fur babies so I'll ensure to be very thorough and remain open contact with pictures and videos throughout my visit(s). I'll always leave a note for you as well so you know how it went for them! I just moved here from Bonita Springs and as we jumpstart our catering business I have plenty of extra time on my hands! I am comfortable with dog baths, car rides, administering oral medicine, long walks, I can even take your dog on a 2 mile run if their vet approves it! Growing up in my dad's home we had 5 dogs on his property at one point! I've been around dogs since I was a baby. We have had small dogs like chihuahuas, and big 100 pound rescue mutts as well. I rescued my one dog at 6 months old so I raised him from a puppy up. My second dog was sadly abused before I got him and has scars to show it. He is the sweetest angel in the world and has come so far in terms of training and coming out of his shell to be comfortable around humans again. As a child i've been attacked by dogs but my love for them never wavered- if anything it encouraged me to learn more about their behavior and how to make them comfortable. I understand now more than ever when a dog is uncomfortable, distressed, anxious, etc. I hope to hear from you soon and see how I can help make your life easier for you and your furry baby! Currently I'm only working part time so I have plenty of time to watch after your babies! I will let you know if there's a specific time or day i'm not available. I have a two story home and 2 loving dogs who can keep your babies company. I can also separate them with my gates that I have, or cage if need be. While my yard is very small for quick bathroom or zoomie use, we also do have a dog park in the community as well as plenty of long & wide walking paths. I do walks every 4 hours or less if needed for your animal. I have cameras in the front, back, and inside of my home so my eyes will always be on them even if i'm running to the store. I never leave home more than 4 hours at a time- even that will only be subject to your approval.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve owned 6 dogs so far. I love animals. I treat them like humans. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! My schedule is very flexible and I love dedicating my time taking care of animals. I care for pets in or at clients home just like I would treat and care for my own puppy. With love and discipline. I will make sure they are fed, given water, play outside, go for walks, and get belly rubs!

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

FAQs for Dog Walking - Venice Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Venice Gardens is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,582 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Venice Gardens after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 91% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
