“Cynthia always does a great job with my dog. I would definitely recommend her! I have 24-hour concierge at my building and they consistently tell me how great she is with my dog. When I come, my dog acts as if I was barely away for longer than a few hours, which tells me he was well taken care of. ☺️”

“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!”

They went above and beyond to ensure my cat was comfortable and cared for, keeping me updated regularly. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Thank you, Tiara, for your amazing care and kindness!”

About: Hello There, I have been a pet owner and i am an animal lover. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and have had a natural affinity for all animals. Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can.

I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and fish and I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I just moved to Los Angeles from the Midwest and started to do house sitting and pet sitting professional and have LOVED every step! Watch my video on pet sitting and house sitting I generally have full control of my schedule and can adjust with decent notice thank you https://youtu.be/bB50ASDupaI I’m so excited to join Rover and love following clear and precise direction on how to deliver care to your babies as i would want for mine

About: I've had dogs growing up my whole life and lived with cats during college. I love animals, always have. Recently my childhood dog of 15 years passed away and I still have a lot of love to give; currently that love is going to our neighbors dogs. I'm able to help out with pet care during the day very easily. My only commitment is weekdays from 3pm-8pm in Beverly Hills. But with that my employers are very flexible and understanding. I know that my dog preferred to stay at our home so I understand dogs that like staying in their environment and not changing their routine. My old gal also had a specific schedule of going outside ever couple of hours, medicine, and food at certain times of the day. So a complicated schedule doesn't faze me.

About: Hello rover community! My name is Jade, I have been a pet owner since my early childhood and have a special love for all fur babies. As a dog parent myself it is my priority to show the same love, patience and care I would expect my fur baby to receive from a sitter. I am currently healing from an injury so I can only look after pets whose needs don't require long walks. I have experience looking after puppies/kittens, as well as senior pets with special needs. I look forward to meeting, playing and cuddling with your fur babies! My schedule is very flexible as I work remotely, can facilitate most hours and overnight stays. Open to last minute bookings, holidays and overnight stays. Pets brought to my home will have access to my entire studio as I would like them to feel as comfortable as they would at home. Should I book a stay at a clients home I would see to it that the home is looked after with the same care, cleanliness, and mindfulness as I exude in my own home.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly pet-sat for friends and family, fostered animals, and provided attentive care for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable administering medications and following specific routines to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I’m also able to stay multiple days with pets when needed. I currently have a 15-year-old dog, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pet care. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize comfort, consistency, and love. I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible with my location and spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for as long as I have internet access. My job isn’t overly demanding, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, including feeding, walks or playtime, medication, and companionship. This flexibility allows me to easily stay multiple days with pets and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing consistency, comfort, and attention to their individual needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks or playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment by giving them plenty of companionship, monitoring their behavior and health, and adjusting care as needed. With my own senior dog, I’m especially attentive to signs of discomfort or changes in behavior, and I bring that same level of patience and care to every pet I look after.

About: I work part time, so I can accommodate depending on weekdays and weekends. All pet sitting will have to be done in the owners home not my place due to rules in the building. I spent twenty years pet sitting for friends and families animals and have had pets throughout my life, providing a stress free environment; in addition to, giving the animals a sense of freedom. Some of the animal care required of me to walk, entertain, taking animals out on an outing, administering medication, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your furry buddy. Before I accept sitting request, it is imperative to meet the owner and animal/animals before to make sure there is a right fit. Additionally, when owners send me messages, tell me a bit about yourself and furbaby/babies. A warm introduction and completed meetup helps me weed out scammers on Rover. Depending on the days or weekends we can discuss my availability of accommodating your needs . I look forward in discussing everything in detail. Thanks I play, love, feed, attend to the animals needs. One big thing is I make sure that all animals understand about boundaries between other animals in the house and humans safely and calmly.

About: I grew up with dogs and have experience walking large and high-energy dogs! I am now a cat parent and my cat Wallace has kidney disease, so I know how scary it is to leave your medically fragile pet while you're out of town! I have years of experience administering subcutaneous fluids and oral medications (both pills and liquids), so you can trust that I'll take good care of your pet while you're away. I'm a full-time graduate student who works from home, so I have lots of schedule flexibility. Morning, afternoon, or evening, I'm available for drop-in visits! I am excited to walk and play with your dog! When I stop by to visit your cat(s), I will make sure they have fresh food and water, clean their litter boxes, administer medication (if needed), and spend time with them! Whether they want to cuddle or play (or both!), I'm excited to get to know your pets.

About: Hi, my name is Mo, and I love spending time with dogs, taking care of them and walking them. I have always taken care of my friends’ dogs either by walking them, checking in on them, staying with them whenever they are out town for short or long stays. I have a dog of my own and know how important our fur babies are. I also know how important it is to entrust the care of our dogs to people we trust. I am responsible and communicative - I assure you that your fur baby will be in good hands. And rest assured because I will treat your dogs with the love and care I give and would want for my own dog. I work from home a lot and I usually need to be in the office twice a week for 6-8 hours total. I have plenty of time on my hands and a really flexible work schedule - therefore, I can fit in pet care into my schedule very easily. On walks, I make sure your dog gets all the time to sniff their surrounding. I carefully watch your dog to avoid getting into anything they shouldn’t get into. Your dog’s walk is their special time for enrichment. I also do not allow the dog in my care to greet other dogs on the street. This is for your pet’s safety. For stays and drop ins at your home, I will treat your space and pets with the respect I would give my own space and pets. I am tidy, clean and will leave your space just the way you left it. I am there for the pets and to take care of them.

About: Hi, my name is Rein! I’m new to this app but have been using wag! I've loved animals from an early age and would be happy to walk or watch your pup. I'm also available for boarding, where your dog will be treated like family and spoiled with plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I'm home most of the time, and I enjoy walking dogs as a form of exercise. I also worked for a dog-grooming company for about two years, so I'm comfortable handling dogs and staying calm in challenging situations. The only thing you'll have to worry about is your pup coming home with a toy or two, a full tummy, and lots of happy memories! I also make pumpkin treats for dogs. Boarding with me will feel like a vacation for your pet just like it is for you! If Spanish is your preferred language, please let me know. My fiancé is Hispanic, and we'd be happy to help make communication easier. I do have a kitten but she hides under the bed and hardly comes out! I work part-time at a retail Job so I work no more then 3 days a week which makes my schedule very welcoming for some fur babies. I love being outside and going to pet friendly cafes! At my apartment your fur babies will have a bed, food and water bowl, as well as toys. I live in a 1bd 1bath with my partner and when I am working she is always home so your fur babies will never be alone more than an hour at most! I love taking all the pictures and when your pet stays with me more than 2 weeks I usually love to create a file with printed photos because I know how worrying it can be to leave your fur babies with someone new. Now before you book with me My apartment does lack furniture at the moment but your pet will not need or want for anything.

Christine hopped on to help us when our usual sitter had an emergency. One of my dogs is particularly anxious with strangers so I was pretty nervous about the whole thing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Hollywood is $61 per night as of October 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 October 2026, there are 13,968 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hollywood. On Rover:

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.
