“Yelyzaveta was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning! She took on my last minute request with no issues and was able to not only follow written instructions to the letter, but also went behind my expectations in checking in on my cat while I was on vacation. I definitely would recommend her and would happily work with her again in the future.”

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 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 boardings Your dog will have a bed, toys and somewhere to drink and eat comfortably I also offer treats anywhere I go after every boarding you will get a written schedule/evaluation how your pup did! When you pup is with me for more then 2 weeks I like to make little folder of printed photos. I think it adds a personalized touch to my Visits and something to keepsake of your furry friends because we all wish they would outlive us! I Love to treat your animals like they are on vacation. I live in a 1bd 1 bath apartment very pet friendly!

About: I’ve spent years caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to chickens and pheasants, so I understand different temperaments and needs. My current pup is a white maltipoo, and my years of hands-on experience mean I know how to handle everything from high-energy dogs to senior pups who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with training young dogs, managing special needs, and most importantly, I genuinely love the animals in my care. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s personality and fitness level. I have a flexible, open schedule and can walk your pup anytime Monday-Thursday. I’m also available on weekends for emergencies. With no full-time commitments, your dog gets dedicated attention when they need it. My secure 6-story building with an on-site dog park is ideal for safe, supervised playtime. Your pup will enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows for mental stimulation while I’m present. No hazardous balconies or low windows just a thoughtful, secure space where I can give individual attention. With years of pet experience, I can handle any personality or need.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover my whole life. Have had pets since I was a kid and I’ve raised a couple puppies! Love having them around me and taking care of them as they were my own. Experience with training and tricks! Work from home so I have all the time and space to love on your furry one all day. No other pets at home so all the attention goes to them! No fenced yard, no other pets at home. Plenty of time to go for long walks and playtime. Space for crates if needed to keep your furry one safe.

About: I've cared for numerous pets of friends and family over the years and love all animals. I've volunteered my time hosting with Angel City and have helped reunite a handful of strays while living in this neighborhood. I'm currently working from home, so I've got plenty of time for play, walks, naps and care. My schedule is typically wide open aside from Wed nights. I have a big fenced yard and one fur baby I regularly look after, so your pet won't feel lonely. I can easily crate your pup if they'd prefer.

She let her out to use the restroom and refilled her food and water bowls. Kenisha helped out a bunch given my situation so I really appreciated it!! Would Recommend 100%.”

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 have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old! I grew up with dogs and have never lived without a dog in the house. As a kid and teen I watched my neighbors dogs and cats and as an adult I have house sat, boarded, and walked dogs all over LA. I have experience with puppies, dogs with special needs, senior dogs, potty training, administering medicine, crate training, and behavior training. I’d love to get to know your furry friends and make them a part of my pack! I am currently pet sitting full time and am able to be completely dedicated to my dog and cat clients. Although I may have to step out sometimes for errands or appointments, your dog will get 100% of my attention when they’re in my home. I have one dog of my own who is very friendly and playful. I live in an apartment and have a shared fenced yard that dogs can play in. I take regular trips to the dog park and am happy to bring your dogs along. I love long walks with lots of sniffs and plenty of potty breaks.

“Melanie is AMAZING! This was my first time getting a sitter/using rover and I was very nervous about it because my cat is incredibly shy and strangers give him a lot of anxiety. Melanie was so lovely and professional she put my concerns at ease. She popped in to check on my cat and feed him in the evenings. To my surprise and incredulity, my cat came out of his hiding place to greet Melanie with head butts and hang with her while she was at the house. Such an incredible step for a highly stranger wary cat! Melanie is a total cat whisperer and I'm so excited to have an alternative to cat boarding that keeps my cat calmer and happier. Highly recommend Melanie and rover for anyone needing someone to check in on their cat while out of town.”

About: As a kid I was determined to train my puppy Biscuit to be an agility dog. Unfortunately Biscuit is a rescue with anxiety and jumping through hops wasn’t quite his style, so my dreams were never quite realized. Still, through that I learned a ton not just about puppy training, but also different ways to approach caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m a college student looking for a side job to do in between classes so my availability varies but I have a good amount of free time. I’m hoping that meeting some new fluffy friends will make me miss my own baby less I’m unfortunately not able to bring any pets into my current home, but I’d love the opportunity to help out through walks or pet sitting. I’d love to meet both you and your pet before hand and provide as much time and information as you need for you both to feel comfortable

About: I have decades of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities - from playful pups to gentle seniors. I offer calm, loving, attentive care and create a predictable, comforting routine while you’re away. I also own my home in a quiet neighborhood located in the heart of Hollywood, which has a large fenced in backyard for safe outdoor time, and a 2-block walk to DeLongpre Park, a gated community dog park for social play if your pup enjoys other dogs. Since I work from home, your dog gets steady companionship, peaceful walks, enrichment, cozy downtime, and lots of affection. My goal: a happy, relaxed pup and total peace of mind for you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give pets consistent companionship, attention, and a steady rhythm throughout the day. I take regular breaks for walks, fresh air, playtime, and snuggles - which dogs absolutely love, and truthfully, so do I. I also truly value the companionship. My own pets recently moved with my daughters to Montana, so spending time with animals brings joy, comfort, and a sense of connection that I really cherish. Evenings are calm and cozy at home, so your pup will enjoy a peaceful, loving environment after a balanced day of exercise and rest. Weekends offer longer walks, backyard time, and all the one-on-one affection they could want. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit into my schedule - it’s something that fills my days with meaning. Safety, comfort, and trust are at the heart of how I care for pets — whether in my home or in yours. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can create a calm, predictable environment where they feel secure. In my home, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, clean space with a large, fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time. I supervise all outdoor play, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a pet-safe environment - no toxic plants or hazards. Walks are mindful and safe, with attention to surroundings, other dogs, and each pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and keep things tidy and secure. I am attentive, present, and never rush pets - instead, I build trust at their pace, whether that means quiet companionship or playful engagement. My goal is always the same: a safe, nurturing space where animals feel relaxed, protected, and loved - and peace of mind for you while you're away.

Isabelle is truly so great with my cats! She’s the only person besides myself who’s able to get my very shy cat to come out of hiding. She’s also extremely communicative throughout the duration of the booking and she takes lots of photos during her drop-in visits so I’m never left wondering if the cats are doing alright. With Isabelle, I know that they’re in safe hands and that peace of mind is truly priceless. I cannot recommend her enough.

Carissa is just the best. There aren’t enough words. Our baby snuggled her the whole time and she just took the greatest care of her. Althea requires insulin twice a day and we have the utmost trust in Carissa to make sure she gets everything she needs when we are gone including her injections. We are so grateful we found Carissa and Althea absolutely adoring her is the biggest plus!

So kind and lovely and understanding! My 10 year old cat is a Spicy Orange who can be very averse to strangers, and prior to moving to LA he has always stayed at my mom's house, so this was a huge trial. Emiko came over for a meet-n-greet before my trip and really understood and respected his orange cat boundaries. While away, Emiko was super communicative and even cleaned up some yucky messes my boy left. When I came home, my place was nice and clean and my boy seemed very calm and happy!

We can't say enough good things about Kaitline! She's watched our cat every time we've traveled, and our very timid girl now comes out to greet her 🥹 which says sooooo much about how patient and gentle Kaitline is. She's always extra diligent with the care, pays attention to and shares every little detail, and sends the sweetest photos so we never have to wonder how things are going. She's kind, professional, and someone we completely trust. Thank you for always taking such good care of our baby!!!!

I hired Pedro to walk and feed my dog twice a day for four days while I was away, and couldn't have been happier. He showed up on time for every visit, followed my feeding instructions exactly, and gave my dog good, full walks. My home was left just as I found it, and my dog was relaxed and happy when I got back, a sure sign she was well cared for. Pedro is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. I'll definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hollywood on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 per visit. 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 19,344 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hollywood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
