“Katherine was absolutely incredible in every way. She took care of our home and our four pets with such kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism—it honestly felt like we had left everything in the hands of family. We even had a change of plans, and she was able to accommodate without hesitation. She went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and making sure our pets were happy, safe, and loved. We came home to a house that felt warm and cared for, and pets who were clearly well looked after. Katherine is truly stellar, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Lisa was so amazing with our new puppy, Frankie, and our other dog Weston. They both loved her so much and she sent us the cutest pictures of them when we were out. I highly recommend using her!”
“When my infant daughter had to go to the emergency room overnight for some unexpected testing, Stephanie was our SUPERHEROINE stepping in to care for our dog who otherwise would not have had arrangements. She saved the day. She gave our sensitive, reactive puppy one of her most joyful weekends ever!! Stephanie we can never thank you enough for these peace of mind knowing bloom was safe and happy while we took care of our other baby.”
“Definitely recommend using Pedro! He watched our dog at our place for a 10 day trip and he was great at sending us pics and keeping us updated throughout. Thanks again Pedro!”
About: I have 2 pups and 4 cats of my own! I love them more than anything and understand how hard it is to trust someone else with our fur babies. I also volunteer at a dog rescue in West Hollywood and am heavily involved with advocating for dogs and cats in the Los Angeles shelters. My current schedule is very flexible right now so I can accommodate different days and hours as needed. I also have my own car as well. I treat all animals as if they were my own. Safety is always my number 1 priority and making sure the dog or cat is adequately fed, cleaned, walked, etc is a given. :)
“Cynthia was fantastic—so easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly gentle with my pup. She’s also just so kind and lovely. She took such great care of my pup, you can tell she really loves what she does. Porcini absolutely adored her! I’ll definitely be booking Cynthia again!”
“TJ was phenomenal!! I’ve used rover a few times and have not had the best experiences, so TJ was a breath of fresh air. When he came by beforehand to meet my pets, he was taking notes, which really put me at ease that they would be taken care of well. He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, so I was able to enjoy my time away not worry about my animals. Lastly, he left my home spotless, even did the dishes and washed the bedding and towels! I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to get too busy, but he deserves it! Thanks TJ!”
About: What sets me apart is the attention I give to every dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or a slower-paced outing, I’ll adjust to their needs while keeping safety first. I’m dependable, observant, and communicative, and I’ll provide regular updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for. I currently have open and flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m happy to accommodate both recurring schedules and last-minute requests whenever possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll closely follow your instructions and your pet’s established routine. I’ll double-check leashes, harnesses, doors, and gates before every walk, provide fresh water afterward, and keep you updated with photos and notes. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect as my own.
About: I’ve pet sit for several friends. I’ve had big dogs and small dogs my whole life, they will get lots of cuddles from me always! I have a kitty of my own so I understand cats very well! I work from home but can easily clear my schedule to cuddle and care for your pet! Nothing is really too important to block me from Catering to you! I prefer saying at the owners house just because I live in an apartment with not much grass on the lot or in my neighborhood!
“Elizabeth was amazing taking care of our cat Stella! We made a mistake on our end at the start of the sitting, and Elizabeth was super patient, understanding, and calm while we sorted it out. She kept the house clean and tidy, and was respectful of our space the whole time. She was detail-oriented and genuinely engaged with Stella's care. We would absolutely hire Elizabeth again, we highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience with nurturing & caring for up to four dogs. I work from home and love dog cuddles! I’d love for you to bring any favorite snack or toys your pet loves to make them feel more at home. I do exercise so if they enjoy runs they are welcomed to join and I am able to babysit until late hours. I can do one - on - one babysitting long term and short term. I have dealt with pets with flees so I am also available to do treatments for them as well as baths. I'll make sure to provide as much love & care needed just as you would! Hope to take care of your babies real soon!! I work from home so most of my day is spent it indoors which allows for regular potty breaks, cuddles and anything needed by you! I offer additional nutrients into my dogs food with supplements and oils, I ensure there is shade for them when left to use the restroom and always check for their water bowl
“Amanda did a great job taking care of my pup for the weekend. She was responsible, communicative and took great care with her. She even got her some medicine for a cut. Highly recommend!”
About: Recently experienced the loss of my own dog , Bialy (named after the New York bagel). He was a maltipoo. He was so so cute and loving! Towards the end of his life he required extra care and attention as aging is understandably difficult. I administered meds, changed his diapers when needed, gave him extra treats and loving and really just made him as comfortable as I could towards the end. Losing him was tragic but I was so fortunate to continue taking care of dogs through my job! I worked in senior living and often residents had dogs of their own that required care. All different breeds, sizes, temperaments, I could handle it all! Whether it was a walk, a drop- in for some love and treats, a bath I did it. I was beyond honored to help out and would be so elated to help your family out as I understand leaving a pet with someone can be nerve racking and that’s why my motto is loving all pets as if they were my own <3 I have done some private in home dog/ cat care stays as well. I am currently working a 9-5 , three days a week. Sunday, Monday, Thursday . Therefore your pet would have to be okay being at home for some of the day. I wish this wasn’t the case honestly. However , before heading out I would absolutely make sure the needs of your animal(s) are met. I love taking walks, exploring new areas, spending time at home with them , I am open to it all! I ultimately respect what you as an owner wish for your pets and so if you have notes to reference that is incredibly helpful to make sure that I honor you. While I want to have fun I also want your pet to be SAFE , comfortable and happy.
“She is the best! I last minute needed help and she is literally an angel. My pup loves her so much. She took such great care of him and updated me constantly. My dog has a new best friend! ❤️”
About: As a young dog owner of 2, I have about 5+ years of dog care, training, and love! I’ve taught my dogs how to do tricks and how to listen, even in Spanish. With plenty of patience and kindness, treating dogs like friends is what I do best. :) Hello! I am looking for a side job I can have while being enrolled in school to pay bills and debt! When I’m not in class or work I am dog sitting/walking! Dogs are my comfort and I guarantee them the same comfort they give me. I love making sure a dog grows onto me instead of thinking of me as a stranger. I feed dogs at the adequate time and I always make sure to leave room for playtime. Regardless, dog-sitting isn’t just about having fun but disciplining them to be on their best behavior, all while maintaining them happy and satisfied
About: I was born and raised in France, surrounded by animals, as my parents were huge animals lovers (to the point where I sometimes thought they preferred them to their own kids). For several years I couldn't have an pet of my own because I traveled a lot, but today I live with my wife (who had her 19-year-old cat and a 30 -year-old donkey when we met), and we now have Frankie, a 4-year-old cat we first fostered for a few months before adopting him. We're also a foster family for shelter cats and dogs. I started out helping my wife (who has been a professional pet sitter for 3 years), and I've now been pet sitting on my own for a year. My priority is the animal's well-being: I adapt to what they want and need, and I never force anything. Some of them need a lot of affection, others just want company, and others simply want someone to feed them and take them out... I love to be that person, whatever the situation calls for. Two little extras: coming from a video background, I love taking nice photos of the pets I look after, and I'll happily share them with you. Being French, I can speak to your pets in French, so they can pick up the language (and maybe teach you later) ;) Pets always come first in my schedule. I'm sometimes unavailable on Sunday mornings (I'm currently working on freeing up that time), but I'm fully available the rest of the time. I can also stay at your place (for one night or several days) if needed. My pet-sitting philosophy is that caring for animals happens on two levels: 1 - What I need to learn from the pet's owner, and honoring the trust they place in me, by: * Arriving and leaving on time * Following the instructions I'm given (food, sleep, walks) * Meeting the pet's needs (playtime, walks, or simply giving them space...) * Communicating any detail that seems concerning to me 2 - What I need to learn from the animal itself, in order to: * Earn their trust * Build a bond between us * Make each of my visits a truly enjoyable moment for the pet
“So communicative. Even helped clean my house without me asking just to make the environment nicer for my pets. 10/10. Such a doll and my animals loved her. She was consistent with walks and lots of love. She also took lots of photos!!”

Very grateful that Alex was able to accommodate a list minute sitting request! She came to my home the day before so I could show her where everything is and how to access the property and to meet my dog. During the sitting she had great communication, and my neighbors commented after I got back how polite and kind she was. Would definitely hire again!
We trusted Sydney to house-sit both of your dogs and we couldn’t be happier! She communicates well and kept us updated frequently while we were away which we appreciated so much. We could tell our little ones were well taken care of and we were happy to see her building a connection with our dogs so quickly. Highly recommend ♥️
We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. The dogs and cat loved Lauren (even the spicy Chihuahua). She followed our instructions flawlessly (including medications and walking schedules). She also sent us the most adorable update photos twice a day and they always seemed really happy. Trustworthy, friendly and respectful, Lauren is our 100% go to going forward. Thank you Lauren!!!
Kind, communicative, responsible, and our dogs loved her. Feel very lucky to have found her -- and to have had the gift of knowing our dogs were in great hands while we were gone. I was able to have a fantastic weekend at a friend's wedding because I wasn't worried about bit about our pups. She's fantastic!
Ksenia was amazing with Stella. She offered me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative and kept me up to date on Stella several times each day. She followed Stellas routine and genuinely engaged-giving her the care and attention needed as a very sensitive, elderly cat. Ksenia also went above and beyond-leaving our home clean and spotless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy genuine loving care for their pet. Thank you Ksenia!
My roommates and I love Jennifer. She bonds well with my 9 month old German Shepherd and takes him a fulfilling, long walks so when I come home he is happy and relaxed. She gives me updates throughout the day that are insightful on his behavior and health. Raising a 9 month GSD takes a village and I love to have Jennifer on my team.
Gaby was absolutely amazing with our dog Lisa. We were so nervous leaving her for the first time on an extended trip but those nerves quickly went away! Gaby is a very confident and nurturing pet sitter. She sent sooooo many pictures and updates, went on a ton of walks, and was so patient with our puppy! She did house sitting for us for 9 nights and left everything so tidy. She’s so sweet and easy to work with, will definitely book her again in the future.
It was our first time traveling without our dog, so we were pretty worried, especially because he can be sensitive and tends to bark a lot. But she took such thoughtful and attentive care of Ari that we were able to feel at ease throughout our trip. Even though we booked her on short notice, she was incredibly kind, warm, and caring with him. We’re so grateful that Ari was in such good hands while we were away!

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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood 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.
