“Laura is a friendly, dependable, dog loving sitter. She stayed at our house while we were away and cared for our three dogs who all eat differently and take medication. We could tell when she met them that she would love them like we do. And when we returned they were happy and not traumatized. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Ours fur babies were in such great hands with Miss Amanda! We are able to enjoy our vacation knowing they would well loved and taken care of. We cannot recommend Amanda enough!!”
“Cassidy has been the best! We are thankful and grateful on how well she took care of our dogs. She genuinely care and love them like it was hers. I highly recommend her to anyone! She will be our sitter moving forward!”
About: I have house sat and taken care of pets for family and friends since 2023. Mostly worked with medium sized dogs and puppies! But I also have so much love for cats Im currently working part-time as a phlebotomist mon-fri from 8am-12pm. Pet care fits in my schedule perfectly for 6:30am morning care, 1pm potty breaks and play time, 6pm potty break/ dinner, 10pm night break or spend overnight if needed! This is how my typical routine goes when house sitting for family and friends! <3 My main goal when taking care of your home and or pets is to follow your care routine, keep fur babies safe in their homes, and make sure they don’t miss out of pets and cuddles while you’re gone.
“Isabelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and the house while we were out of town! She left the house tidy and was very respectful of our space and our wishes. I expect to ask her to come again the next time we need help!”
“Here’s a polished review you can post: This was our second time using Amber, and I felt just as comfortable as the first time having her not only in our home but also caring for our little spoiled herd. She is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely cares about our dogs. She always keeps us updated with photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear our pups are happy and well cared for, and knowing they’re in such good hands makes traveling so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Maya has been my go to sitter for the last 6+ months and is so great! I have severe anxiety leaving Pixie for travel needs but with Maya that anxiety has gone down significantly. I know Maya cares and she always asks such thoughtful questions and notices all of the differences in Pixie.”
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.
“Justin literally saved my trip!!!!! I apparently needed my birth certificate to get on a ship and take the cruise I was planning, I learned this early in the morning on the day I was supposed to board the ship. Justin was supposed to start sitting for me the day after. I called him in desperation and he immediately drove to my home, even though I had not hired him for that day and started to let me walk him through finding a single piece of paper in my large filing cabinet. He was absolutely patient, while I was in panic mode. HE FOUND IT!!!! Faxed it, and texted an image of it and was sooooo patient with me. I was able to board the ship! He then took very good care of my pets, home, plants and fed the feral cat that stops by for dinner at night. I came home to live plants, happy cats and feeling rested from a vacation that almost did'nt happen. I hired the right guy, and will absolutely hire him in the future. He is a calm presence....even if I was not. I would recommend him absolutely.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”
“Danielle was fantastic. Reached out super late on a Friday when our sitter canceled. Was quick to respond, was on time, took great care of our pets and sent us lots of pictures. 10/10 would book again!”
About: Being a country girl, I have pet sit anything from dogs to indoor pot belly pigs to even donkeys. I've had dogs my entire life (4 of my own currently) and love to make your worry less while away. I love to send pictures and videos so you can see first hand how much love they are receiving when you are away. If you have animals besides cats and dogs, I would love to help with them as well. I pet sit full time so I can almost always move my schedule around to accommodate except the time line that I need to get in the school line for my kids. I only pet sit in your home as I have 5 very spoiled dogs on my own. I do bring my 5 old and 10 year old with me if I can to help play ball and show your pups (or fellow animals as much affection as they need while you are away.
“Maida was wonderful with our dog and cat. She was great at communication and kept us updated! It was great knowing our babies were in great hands. We will definitely use Maida again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Venus on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,980 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Venus. 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 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 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 Venus. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
