About Venice

What pet sitting in Venice actually looks like

Venice is the bohemian-beach neighborhood. Venice Beach's boardwalk (on-leash dogs allowed on the boardwalk but not the sand), the Venice Canals' tranquil waterfront walks, Abbot Kinney's shops and cafes, and the walk-streets (Mildred, Park, 28th) which are some of LA's rare car-free residential corridors.

Venice sitters skew creative-industry and active outdoor types. surfers, yoga teachers, designers. with flexible schedules and high active-dog tolerance. The breed mix favors Labradors, doodles, Vizslas, and rescue mixes needing real daily exercise. Single-family bungalows and walk-street homes give surprising yard density for a beach neighborhood.
