We absolutely will use her again for future trips!!!!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner of Cairns and Westies. We have a two year old German Shepherd. I just love the companionship of dogs. Love helping seniors with walking dogs or housesitting their pets for their trips away from home. I have recently moved from Colorado to Venice. I love walking dogs and caring for them. Weekend and overnight care is also available with some notice. As an owner of a German Shepherd I’m fully aware how difficult it can be to kennel your bff (pet). I love caring for pets as if they are my own. Give me a call and allow me the opportunity to take care of your pet dog. I will walk and feed your dog (s). Stay with them and play, pet and cuddle to ease any anxiety they may have in your absence.
“They took such great care of Willow in our home! Everything about our experience was great. They always responded quickly and sent many updates with pictures. We would definitely book again!! Thank you 😊”
“Allie was awesome with our fur baby Stella! She provided love and comfort when we were away, right down to laying with her in the closet during thunderstorms and fireworks! Allie was neat, tidy, and left no footprint from her stay...she even stripped the bed she was sleeping in for us before she left. Allie is compassionate and caring. If available she will be our go to sitter anytime we are out of town!”
“This is our first time using rover. Karen I is an absolute angel! What a professional through and through. She kept us up to date with daily reports on how our pups were doing and got along with them perfectly. Our pups can be a bit high maintenance but no concern for Karen I. THE BEST! She took great care of our pups and our house too. The complete package ! We can’t wait to book her again! 6 stars if I could give them.”

“Sharon is very conscientious & responsible. Communication was great on the front end & during our trip. Most importantly, our cat Roscoe was quite happy, as evidenced by the photos Sharon sent & his demeanor when we returned! Sharon also kindly watered our outdoor plants, which looked better when we returned than when we left. She also left our home immaculate. Great pet sitter!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venice Gardens
Nadina is a great pet sitter. She is reliable, friendly and very confident with animals. Our 3 animals seemed happy and content upon our return. The house was clean and tidy. She was attentive and followed all of our instructions well. We certainly would request her services again and so appreciate her time and efforts with making our pets feel loved.
I can’t say enough good things about marie. First of all, she was the last second high because the other Rover Sitter ghosted us. Marie was responsive communicated thoroughly sent pictures and from the very beginning we felt safe to leave our Aspen with her. She stayed for seven days in our house and the house was spotless, When we returned. I would highly recommend marie and the next time we travel, that’s the first person I’m gonna ask for.
I can’t say enough about how happy I am with the care that Tracy gave to Bama. I was so nervous about going away because Bama has so much anxiety and has never had to stay with anyone. Before going away, Tracy came by for a visit with Bama that left me totally at ease about leaving her. Tracy kept me informed on Bama’s well being. Letting me know of her progress and how well she was adapting. Tracy sent pics along the way. I felt that Bama was doing very well and getting lots of love along the way. Tracy is an amazing sitter and I will leave Bama with her anytime! Thank you Tracy!❤️
We are so glad we found Carrie to stay with our Grady. She is caring and patient and we knew he was in good hands. We loved getting the photos and updates. She stayed at our home, and we would not have known she was here. It's hard to leave your pet, so having peace of mind that they are safe and cared for is huge for us. We hope Carrie is available for our next time away.
William was a fantastic dog sitter! When our travel plans didn’t go as expected, he was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made a stressful situation so much easier. He took great care of our dog, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend him and would gladly book with him again.
We can't say enough about how wonderful Tom was with our pups. Sasha and Reggie are 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dogs. Our vacation was planned for a year and Tom was booked for a month. Just before we left they developed pretty severe GI issues. Tom was OK with staying even with the issues. We started them on home cooked Bison and potato on the advise of their vet. Tom cooked potatoes and bison for each meal. Gave them their new meds and did the slow change to include the new kibble they were eventually started on. We were gone for 17 days and never could have enjoyed our European trip without knowing that Tom was taking such good care of our babies. Additionally each needed to be walked separately since they are too much to handle together. We don't have a fenced in yard so every 4 hour walks is their norm. Tom kept us updated regularly about the state of their poops and overall health, sent lots of pictures and loved our babies. I can't recommend him more highly. He is amazing.
Joanna was wonderful with Izzy. She spent tons of time with her and Izzy really seemed to like her. Joanna kept in constant communication with photos and kept the house neat and clean. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Joanna and Izzy said hope to see you soon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Venice Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venice Gardens on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 980 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Venice Gardens. 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 Gardens 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 Gardens 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 Gardens 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 Gardens. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
