“Cynthia was wonderful to watch our dog and cat over a long weekend! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates/photos for us! Our pets have a unique food schedule, medication requirements, and experienced dog walking needs that she managed with ease! Highly recommend!”
“Monika went above and beyond in helping me out with my dog while I was on Christmas vacation. She sent lots of pics and videos and kept me informed of when she was coming and going out of my place. A very nice person that I highly recommend and would definitely use again to care for my boy.”
About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved having animals around. After moving out of my family home, I haven’t had a pet of my own, but I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and others ever since. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them plenty of love and attention! I'm currently freelancing and working remotely so my schedule is very flexible, especially as I do not have any pets of my own right now. I've worked with a range of pets from gentle to needy to strong so I am comfortable with it all. I'm happy to follow whatever instructions you provide to make sure your pest are well taken care of!
“Lillian is terrific. On time, thoughtful and diligent. She is flexible as well, and was able to extend her time with us no problem. And the doggies loved her! Highly recommend!”
“Maryam did a great job watching Bella! Maryam is very sweet and Bella was drawn to her from the beginning. Maryam was punctual, super responsive and showed great care while watching Bella. Thank you Maryam :)”
“In the rush before our wedding, we realized we needed a house-sitter to take care of our dog, Barklee. We only had a few days before we left the city and put a lot of trust in Bailee. Our dog is a rescue and really doesn't like strangers - Additionally, this was the first time that we ever had a stranger take care of our little pup (the friends that usually do were at our wedding!). Bailee was incredibly communicative and shared photos with us several times over the 5 nights she stayed at our apartment. I can see why so many customers have re-booked her & I know we will in the future.”
“Sarah was able to fill in at the last moment when we had a sitter cancellation. Initial request, explanatory texts, and meeting our new pups all transpired within a couple of days. She was sensitive to our new dog’s uncertainties as they experienced a pet sitter for the first time at two months since their adoption. Sarah rose to the few challenges that came up while keeping us well informed with texts, photos and videos. And the dogs, even the skittish one, soon accepted her as one of their own.”
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.
“Simply the best! You know once a dog reaches a certain age, and some say only a parent could love them…Grace also loves them! And tends to all their old dog needs and quirks with a smile, the utmost care, and a fabulous attitude. First time using Rover and having anyone aside from family stay at our house with our two dogs, and Grace was amazing! Prompt, communicative, made sure everything was done how we and the dogs do it. She pays attention to details and gives thorough updates. And she goes above and beyond. You can tell instantly that she truly is an animal lover, and it was clear the dogs could tell too! Looking forward to her staying with them when we go out of town. It’s an absolute relief knowing that they’ll be well taken care of when we’re away!”
“Valentin was the perfect sitter for our pup! We received multiple video updates daily, and he was attentive, affectionate, and generous with multiple walks that kept our boy very happy. Additionally, Valentin was incredibly respectful of our home and took great care while staying here. Could not recommend him enough!”
“Nori was fantastic! Pictures were sent everyday of all our fur babies. The house was totally clean when we returned. Fur babies miss him now that he is gone. Nori gave them so much love and care. I would recommend Nori to care for your house and your babies 110%! Nori went above and beyond!”
“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: Animals have been a big part of my life ever since I lived with Frida, an elderly dog who taught me patience, love, and compassion. Since then, I’ve spent over a year volunteering with Best Friends Animal Society and Stray Cat Alliance, where I’ve cared for cats of all personalities—from shy rescues to curious kittens. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, from my sister’s Labradoodle Murphy to my friend’s cat Xyla. I bring that same level of care, consistency, and affection to every pet I look after. I work full-time, but my job is primarily remote, which means I’m at home for most of the workday. This gives me flexibility to provide feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, not just mornings or evenings. I can also easily step away from my desk for potty breaks, cuddle time, or a quick game of fetch. Weekends are generally open for longer commitments like housesitting. When I’m in your home, I respect it as if it were my own and make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow care instructions closely feeding schedules, medication, and routines are always prioritized. My volunteering experience has made me attentive to body language, so I know when to give pets space and when to engage. I also provide regular photo updates, so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“TJ did such a great job taking care of my tiny little sickly dog, catering to all his alements and medications, super responsive and sweet, really appreciative of his care!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since we got our first puppy when I was a child. Dogs are truly a gift to humans and I love to care for them and bring as much happiness to their life as they bring to ours! My work schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to adjust my schedule accordingly the majority of the time. There’s always time for dogs! Morning, afternoon and evening available. I have a large three story townhouse and lots of grassy fields that are dog friendly as well as a private dog park in my neighborhood for you pup to enjoy! I’m also able to travel to your home so your dog can stay in an environment that they’re most comfortable with.
“Many thanks again to Lauren for a great sit with Barbara! Super appreciate the thoughtfulness and care for my dog, even going so far as to hand feed her when she was hesitating at meals. My house once again was left in such good shape - can barely tell she was here! :) Again, we appreciate you, Lauren, and thank you!”
About: I've been taking care of pets off and on for several years, mostly dogs and cats. I have a real connection to animals, I'm very responsible, and outgoing! I'm currently part-time so I am able to take care of pets on a weekday or weekend situation for various spans of days. I am always reachable and communicative about schedules. I often pet sit at the client's home, taking care to keep the place safe and clean. I always prefer a meeting with the client to discuss feeding, walk times, medications, and any other necessities, as well as locations in the home for emergency supplies and contact information.
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Taylor! We booked her to watch our Great Pyrenees, Penelope, while our family was in Maui, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we left, Taylor kept us at ease with regular updates, photos, and check-ins. There is nothing better than being on vacation and seeing your pup happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved. Penelope is a big girl with a big personality, and Taylor handled her beautifully. What really set Taylor apart was how she handled an unexpected situation — a home inspector came by during the stay, and she managed it calmly, professionally, and without us needing to worry for a second. That kind of composure and good judgment is hard to find and means everything when you are trusting someone with your home and your pet. We returned to a happy, healthy Penelope and a completely seamless experience. We would absolutely book with Taylor again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares. She is the real deal!”
“Marlena was great! We really had a hard time looking for someone that Paco likes and they clicked almost immediately. I will definitely require her service again.”

Now that my cat (Hanna) is 17 years old, I really wanted someone who could stay overnight with her while we were away, and i’m so happy I found Sydney! She is so sweet and caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. I never had to ask how things were going because she was always one step ahead with updates, which gave us such peace of mind. I think anyone with pets can relate to how difficult it can be to trust someone new, with your beloved family member🐈⬛ and your home. But from the moment I met Sydney, I felt comfortable and had an instinct she was someone I could trust. And she proved me right! :) We don’t travel very often, but when we do, she will definitely be our go-to sitter from now on. I’m so grateful we found her and highly recommend her, she’s everything you could hope for in a sitter! Thank you so much for everything, Sydney! 🐈⬛💕
Tommy was awesome! We were lucky to have him fill in for our usual sitter for our English bulldog Theo. He was very communicative, extremely thorough in learning Theo’s routines, and sent amazing updates throughout the day that really put our minds at ease. We will definitely be using Tommy to watch Theo again for sure.
Logan was great with my two dogs while I was away. I had never left them with a dogsitter before for an extended period of time, but felt very at peace knowing they were being taken care of by him. I received daily pictures and updates that put me further at ease! I could tell my dogs also felt comfortable and safe with him immediately which was the most important thing :)
Rayven was exceptional in caring for my newly acquired dog. I was apprehensive leaving him with someone after only having him a month, however Rayven treated him as her own and updated me daily with how he was doing, including assuring me that he was doing great and was not anxious about being left for a few days. I highly recommend Rayven to care for your pets.
Sara was absolutely amazing with our dog and two cats! She stayed in our home and was incredibly respectful of the place, leaving it even cleaner and nicer than when we left! She truly went above and beyond, doing little things that we didn't even ask but were greatly appreciated. But most importantly, she was amazing with our pets. Our dog is a covid pup, and since we both work from home, she's been used to having someone around all the time her entire life. She's never spent a night alone and has rarely been alone for more than a few hours, so we're always anxious about leaving her. Sara was fantastic about keeping us updated with frequent pictures and videos, and made sure our girl got all the attention, love, and playtime she's used to. If anything Sara spoiled her and played with her even more than we do normally! lol Our two cats are super easygoing and independent, but Sara made sure they got plenty of love and attention too. Between how well she cared for our pups and all the extra things she did around the house, we really couldn't have asked for more. Sara is truly a gem of a person and a gem of a sitter - we couldn't be more grateful, and we can't wait to have her watch our pup crew again!
Wow! Thank you, Katherine, for taking such lovely care of our babies and our house. Our kitties were sad to see her go! She arrived on time, provided adorable updates and photos and took such loving care of our babies. We can't wait to welcome her back soon!
Yulay stayed at my house to watch my new Italian greyhound puppy—and it went amazingly! She took great care with her, played with her a lot, napped with her, gave her enrichment toys, and sent us a ton of photos. We would LOVE to have Yulay back again to watch Bumpy!
OMG, Arlondriah has been such a blessing. Being away from my fur baby gave my anxiety, but Arlondriah put me at ease and kept me updated of what she and Boba was doing. She's passionate, loving and very caring. My Boba just taken a liking to her. I am so happy that he was in very good hands. I will definitely recommend her, as I will want her for my Boba the next time I'm away. Thank you Arlondriah for everything. Marie C
Christine was wonderful with our dog Hank when we were away for the weekend. She is reliable, responsible, very capable and made sure Hank was well taken care of at our home. We received several photos and video of Hank on walks and enjoying his time with Christine (and vice versa!). We will use Christine again!!!
Kelli is an absolutely amazing sitter. From the first time meeting her at our meet and greet, I knew my puppy Charli would be in the best hands. Kelli sent daily updates, took Charli for walks, played with her and kept her so happy and busy. I feel so lucky I found Kelli and would always trust her to watch Charli!
Emily was so wonderful! She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our pug and we could tell he had the best time with her. She sent so many great updates, photos and videos and made us feel so at ease on our vacation. We will 100% be booking with Emily again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hollywood is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $119 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.
As of November 2026, there are 13,960 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hollywood. 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 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hollywood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
