“Emma was absolutely the best. She kept me posted and juggled my doggies very well. She also kept my house in order and extremely neat. Will definitely be booking her again.”
“Amanda takes wonderful care of our three dogs, including two who require medications. Our dogs absolutely love and trust her, and we always feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. She keeps their food and water full, sends daily updates and pictures, and is always respectful of our home. We highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!!”
“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.
“This was our first time using this service, and Claudia did an excellent job taking care of both of our pets. She was responsive and arrived on time as arranged. Claudia kept us updated throughout the day and even sent us cute videos. I really felt comfortable having her with our babies. I will definitely be calling Claudia again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and working with Paula but I'm very pleased with the service that she provided. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care. She sent pictures and updates with out having to even ask. She made sure my dog was walked and that they both had what they needed. I'll be sure to contact Paula again for any future times that I need a pet sitter. Thank you, Paula and Rover!”
“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!”
“This was the first time using Rover! Ariel was amazing!! She took the time to come over before to meet all of my puppies!! They love her!! When I came home the house was cleaner than when I left it and she even started a load of laundry for me!! There were even fresh baked cookies!! Thank you Ariel!”
About: Hopefully, I caught your eye. Your fur baby is my baby. I have 35 yrs experience with dealing arthritis, anxiety, and cancer. I able to take care of the sick fur babies. I had the joy of having a beautiful blonde German Shepard, Ava she was 120pds of muscle, she was my shadow, my bestie and I miss her everyday. There are other many more wonderful pets I have taken care of. I will always give you not 100% but, 102%! I had the opportunity to train Ava, after we both attend dog training, dog obedience school which at first did not go so well but, after we got the hang of it we did well, 4yrs later Ava became a Service Dog for the State of Texas. I have the time, the patience the perseverance to do this for you and I will not let you down. After, 10years with Ava, she got cancer and she was in so much pain I had to make the very hard decision to let her go 🥲. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies. I love pets so much, the bring joy to my life every day. I live a beautiful property with beautiful landscaping. we can take lots of walks and enjoy the outdoors. We do not have a dog park.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had a total of 5 pets that I personal took care of. I always took them for walks and I don’t eat until my dog eats. There will be no issue with me taking care of pets. I work from home and will be able to watch your pet at all times. I always give the animal all the attention they need, I’m never away from the animal, and I treat all of them as if they were my own.
“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our house while away for the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how our sweet fur babies were doing. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We definitely recommend her!”
“Darian was great! We couldn’t be happier with her during our trip. She sent pictures and kept us updated. Came over to the house twice to get to know the dogs beforehand. We will definitely use her again!”
“Wow!!! I can honestly say I never thought I could feel so comfortable with a “stranger” in my house and taking care of my dogs. Jen clearly is a professional who knows what she’s doing and LOVES the doggies. From our first meet and greet where she did all the right things introducing our pups and helping me feel comfortable, to coming home to a freshly swept, mopped house where she washed her own sheets, cleaned out our kitty litter, and brushed our dogs multiple times...it was a DREAM! I used to sit myself and I didn’t think I’d ever find someone as attuned to detail as I am. I got multiple video and picture updates daily and she stuck to her word on how long the dogs would be alone, making sure they were always fed and played with while she was home. She is honestly worth every penny and then some. And to top it all off, I feel as though I’ve made a new friend :) BEST DOG/HOUSE SITTER EVER!!!”

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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 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.
<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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
