“He was great with Jaime! She was so excited to have him over with her all week. He helped her calm down and taught her to take it easy. She took to him so well and all the pictures were so cute. We’re going to use him the next time we go out of town.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was around 12 years old. I grew up with big and small dogs, and I currently live with my dog Paisley, and my cat Oakley. I rescued both of my babies and they’re my whole world! I also volunteer at Second Chance Rescue in Mansfield so if you are looking to adopt another pet please come visit. :) I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as boarding on weekends. At the moment, I’m also able to provide boarding during the weekdays, depending on availability. I’m experienced in providing care tailored to pets with a range of personalities and health needs. Pet safety is my top priority. I keep a secure and calm environment, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and providing regular updates so owners feel confident that their babies are well cared for. 🤍
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
“Lauren was awesome with our Australian Shepherd! She had her at our home for the weekend and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her care and communication with me. Very grateful to have found Lauren! I will definitely be using her again. Our Millie just loved her!”
“Azia was great with our Australian Shepherd! She was well cared for and obviously given lots of attention. Azia also communicated with us regularly about how our pup was doing. We’d love to have her watch Millie again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home. I’ve often been asked to help sit or take care of friends and family pets as well. I love all animals and enjoy getting to help care for them! During my visits I would love to get to know your pets and love them just as I would my own so while you’re away they don’t feel alone. I currently have two cats as well as a becoming senior pit mix of my own to care for. Although I have never had to care for a special needs pet, my dog has been through several intense surgeries of removing cancerous tumors. So I am familiar with giving oral medicine and making sure to take extra care and attention to an injured/ recovering pet. But I am willing to learn any needs your pet may have! I do currently work a 8-5 job but I am off every weekend and holiday and would love to fill that time with helping others. I also do not mind afternoon/ night walks or check ins during the week. I take great care to provide what my own pets need and would do the same for others. I hope to be able to provide the best service possible for them. Making sure they have plenty of food and water as well as plenty of attention!
About: Howdy! My name is Sydney and I love pets! I have my own 6 year old dog, Koa, and he is my absolute best friend! We also have an 8 month old Golden Retriever named Rudder! I’d love to watch your pet, as it doesn’t just benefit me, it also benefits Koa and Rudder with a friend! I know how important and comforting it is to know your pet is in a safe and loving place, and I’m here to provide just that! I am more than happy to provide any accommodations to you and your dog, as I know every pup is special. I can’t wait to hang out with your pups and learn their fun quirks! Our time would be spent cuddling, taking walks, and lots of play! I am a teacher and my husband owns his company. I am home during summers, work 3 minutes from our home and get off at 3! My husband is able to come and go throughout the day as he can work from anywhere. We are super flexible! Our 2 pups are spoiled themselves (as they should be)! I have dog sat many times before, just not on River. We love all dogs like our own. We know how important it is to trust who has your babies. we always have 2 bowls of water filled, with lots of areas for dogs to relax.
“Claudia is absolutely fantastic! She stayed with my two dogs while we were out of town for 4 days. Each morning and evening she sent an update on how everything was going. She sent photos and in the evening a cute video recap! One of our dogs is a senior who is not eating every meal any more, and Claudia was great at monitoring how much he ate and even took his food bowl upstairs to him to encourage him to eat when he needed to. Our house looked great when we came home as well. Claudia is an amazing pet and house sitter and I absolutely recommend her! Thank you Claudia!”
“Candace stayed at my house while I was gone for 4-5 days and took excellent care of my dog and my cat! Both of them are on meds and she was very willing & able to give them. My dog has anxiety, and she was so patient and good with him. He loved her! I highly recommend Candace and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Paula was amazing! She met me for a meet and greet super last minute before I left town the next day. She communicated throughout the day and sent me pic of my doggie and he seemed to enjoy her company! Highly recommend her services!”
“Lexi is amazing. Super sweet and you can tell she really loves dogs. She was very flexible with my last-minute request on Christmas. My boy even cries for her when she leaves. I would trust her with him and my house any day.”

“Jenna was a great dog sitter. She cared for our two young chihuahua puppies and was very knowledgeable how to handle them and manage the custom puppy feeding and bathroom breaks. We would definitely have Jenna sit our puppies again!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats that I adored and cared for. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for friends’ pets whenever they needed a helping hand. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for a former client’s dog for four years before she passed away. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency, companionship, and treating every pet like family truly are. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. 🐾 I’m available after 6 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and I’m happy to keep your pets company and give them lots of love and attention until you’re home. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends. Whether your pet needs some extra cuddles, playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’d be happy to be there for them while you’re away! 🧡🐶🐱 I provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and any other care they need. My goal is to give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling at ease while you’re away.
About: Growing up on a ranch, I was responsible for the daily care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cattle, which helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, patience, and an understanding of animal behavior. Animals have always been part of my everyday life. I focus on providing quality care and attention to your furry friends. Pet care is a natural part of my routine alongside my equine farrier apprenticeship. Although my schedule may change from week to week, I carefully manage my availability and only take on bookings where I can give each pet my full attention and priority. I am committed to following each client’s instructions and routine, and to being respectful, careful, and safe while caring for your pet in your home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venus
Amber was amazing! She took great care of our dogs during our trip. She was always communicating and sending pictures. I could tell she took the time to make sure she provided them with the care and love that we give our dogs daily. She was incredibly sweet and even went out of her way to make sure the dogs were loved on and taken care of when our flight was delayed 4 hours. We came home to a clean house that smelled so good, which was wonderful after traveling all day. I highly recommend her and will rebook with her in the future.
Amber was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our dogs and cat while also house sitting, and the entire experience was incredibly smooth and stress-free. She kept us updated daily with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, our home was spotless, and our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s not always easy to leave your pets behind, but Amber made it effortless. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

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 Venus 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 Venus 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Venus 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!

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 .
