“Tracy was a god send! We had a lot of anxiety about leaving our two furry kids with someone we didn’t know after being spoiled for 20 years of a family member taking them every year. Tracy treated them as her own, went for walks daily with them and when we came home they were even sad to see her leave. We highly recommend her and will use her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“Angela is an excellent house sitter and our dogs absolutely adore her visits. She is communicative, and sends updates throughout her stay so that we know our dogs are happy and wagging ☺️”
“Allie was the perfect sitter for my home! She was very communicative, giving awesome updates and so much love to my pets. Samara is usually very standoffish with people, and Allie even was able to give her pets and attention. Nina was very happy with her, and Goku felt comfortable with her. Overall, I highly recommend Allie, and would love to use her again on my future trips!”

“Kai was excellent with our two dogs. We were gone during tropical storm Debbie and she had everything under control. The house was in great shape when we got home and she had even offered to stay an extra night if our flights were delayed. We will definitely hire Kai again!”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”

“Sharon was an outstanding pet sitter. We felt at ease and she was great about giving us updates. It was wonderful to be able to relax and not worry. In addition, she stayed at our home and everything was immaculate. With two cats and an elderly dog to care for, this was not an easy task. We highly recommend her to others.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venice Gardens
Holly and Jace did a wonderful job caring for my dogs, Carter and Cash, while staying in my home. They were friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive to text messages before and during their stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Scheduling was simple, and they were reliable and professional throughout the entire process. It was clear they took the time to get to know both of my dogs and their unique personalities. Carter loved getting plenty of cuddle time, while Cash was thrilled to have someone to play fetch with. Since my boys are very different and enjoy different things, it meant a lot to know they were both getting the attention they love. I would happily recommend Holly and Jace to other pet parents!
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!
We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Naomi! She took incredible care of our French and English bulldog, giving them so much love, attention, and cuddles while we were away. It’s clear our pups felt totally comfortable and safe—like they were right at home. From the updates and photos to the thoughtful care, Naomi went above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands gave us total peace of mind. We would absolutely love to have her watch our dogs again—our pups already miss them! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and truly attentive sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Venice Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venice Gardens on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 992 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.

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.
