“Amanda was great and I’ll definitely book her again. I’ve already referred her to a few people as well. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation while she was with them.”
“This is our second time using Tarik, first time for longer than a night. Our animals always seem to enjoy his visits, my house always looks as good as it does when I left, and he is very thorough with the pets and their care! We are super grateful he was referred to us and we look forward to more stays!”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, from dogs, cats and horses to turtles, hedgehogs and even chinchillas and am very comfortable and capable of providing the top level of care to your pets I work professionally as a barber on a flexible appointment based schedule that allows for me to be home most of the time with my children and pets. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs who are crate trained. My six-year-old daughter is very compassionate and hands-on with caring for the animals in our home. I have several years of housesitting and pet setting for others and have been told I leave homes better than I found them and come highly recommended.
“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!”
“Katherine has been amazing! She is kind and considerate. She has always kept me in the loop while house sitting and taking exceptional care of my 2 fur babies. She spoils them and loves on them like they are her own. I would definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, whether it's a playful puppy full of energy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle care. I'm dependable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also believe in keeping owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week, including weekends and holidays! I also offer overnight stays when needed. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I'm happy to accommodate each pet's needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! Although my own beloved pets are no longer with us, caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection! I respect each client's home and follow all instructions carefully. Whether it's a quick visit or an overnight stay, my goal is to treat every pet like family and give their owners peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands.
“Janet is wonderful! I needed a sitter on very short notice and she immediately responded and even offered to do a meet and greet that night. She sent lots of updates of my pup and made me feel at ease having to leave him during my work trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Lexi was great! We have a diabetic dog that has a routine and she was amazing with it. Asked the right questions, reached out multiple times a day with an update and pictures. You could tell that she loved animals. We also have fish and a lizard and she was great with them as well. She left the house nice and clean which is always nice to come home to after a trip :). We would definitely rebook her and plan to in the future!! Thanks Lexi!”
About: I would love to take care of your babies while you are away. I will talk to them , cuddle them, feed and walk them. I’m am currently retired and looking forward to pet sitting. I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits. She sits in my lap when she wants, she lets me know when she needs to go out and I keep pee pads down for her just in case, and keep the area clean.
“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!”
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!
“Great experience with Miranda. Clean organized and responsive. Zion was missing her already once she left. He’s got a new friend now. So I would definitely hire Miranda for sitting in the near future. Thank you so much.”
“Remington is an all star pet sitter! She expertly watched my 130lb mastiff who is a little shy. But in just a short while they were best buds! He waits for her to arrive in the morning and they have a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to contact her to pet sit for me again, she's awesome!”
“I would give Adam K. a 10 if I could. He took perfect care of my little Twiggy. He kept me posted with texts and pictures, which gives me such a peace of mind since little Twigs has a big personality, but only weighs 4 lbs. I came home to a clean house and happy pup! You cannot beat that!”
“We hired Heather to housesit and watch our two dogs for two nights. She was a dream to work with! She left my home how we left it; frankly I couldn’t even tell anyone was there. She was very respectful of my house rules & my dog care preferences. Heather was punctual, respectful and has great communication. Our pups clearly enjoyed her presence and also, they loved staying home and not going to a traditional boarding situation which was huge for us. We have a large breed #110 dog and a #6 dog which she handled both with ease. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Catherine dog sat for us very last minute and was great!! She came to our house before we left town so we could show her around. She stayed at our house and did everything perfectly with our dogs! She even left work early to check on our dogs. I would highly recommend her and would use her again!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Venus is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

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.
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 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!
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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.

- 88% of sitters 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.
