Jessica is so caring about Tashi (and takes wonderful daily photos of him!) and easy to work with. She's responsive to all my messages and the way she cares for Tashi shows through. I have no reservations about leaving my pet in her care, which definitely makes it that much easier when I have to be away. Highly recommended!

Wow. We have never used a pet sitter with any of our dogs before, but we had a trip planned and recently rescued a puppy, so we had to leave him for a week. We were so nervous about leaving him with someone, especially being so young. The moment we (and our pup) met Vanessa we felt at ease. Throughout the entire process she was professional, so kind, thoughtful, and loved our puppy as her own. She sent us pictures and videos several times a day, which really put us at ease. When we returned, our puppy was so happy and you could very clearly see how well he was taken care of. We truly cannot say enough positive things about Vanessa and the love and care she provided our puppy. Would HIGHLY recommend her and will definitely be planning trips around her availability in the future! Thank you so much, Vanessa!

Stella did a great job watching our dog for us in our house while we went out of town. Our dog has separation anxiety and so we always look for a sitter who is willing to stay home with him. Stella followed through on her word and that gave us peace of mind while we traveled. We would recommend and book Stella again.

About: I'm a big cat mother, but I've had dogs & cats for over 20 years, so I'm exceptionally prepared to take top notch care of your furry friends. On top of playtime and walks, I am familiar with administering oral medications to dogs & cats here and there. I always prioritize safety for pets; I'm aware of what may be dangerous for them to eat, and when dog walking I've always walked with a leash and remain aware of our surroundings and other animals in the vicinity. As of right now, I'm available at just about all times! So if you're in need of someone to take care of your pet, please don't hesitate to reach out. For starters, closed doors are an obvious big priority. When letting a dog into a yard I stay in said yard to keep an eye on them just in case. When walking them, I keep them close on a leash and do not let them socialize with other dogs unless given the go ahead by you in advance - safety is a massive concern! With dogs and cats alike, I can administer oral medicine, as I've had to do it many times over the years. I understand its rarely ever a pleasant experience for the pet, but I remain patient & gentle with them for their well being.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs every since I was young. I love playing with them, walking, and making sure they get fed well. I can give oral medication as well if needed. I will care for yours like I care for my own. My schedule is very flexible. I’m experienced with taking care of small dogs and big dogs alike. Im also a big cat lover! I can do anything from long term set schedules to last minute calls. I will gladly do at home stays. My place is too small to take in anymore fur babies, but I will be happy to do overnight stays in your home while you are away.

About: My name is Josh, and I can’t wait to meet your dogs! 🐾 I’m 37 years old and recently moved back to South Florida from Alaska to help care for family. I grew up with dogs and started dog-sitting for my neighbors when I was just 7 years old. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and breeds. I also have experience caring for special-needs animals and administering various types of medications. Most recently, I’ve been dog-sitting and walking dogs throughout the Boynton Beach and Hollywood areas through Wag!, Rover, and word of mouth for the past year. I truly love all dogs and have a 5-year-old, super-friendly mini Goldendoodle of my own named Goose Berry, who lives with me and my wife. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. Feel free to message me with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I currently work from home and can be fully attentive to your pups all day. My wife and I have a mini golden-doodle together that can be a new friend to your pup or we can keep them separate based on your needs. I live in a spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on the second floor. Our home is located just 5 minutes from a dog park, making it easy to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and fresh air.

Marina was an amazing pet sitter and we’re so grateful to have found her. She took excellent care of our pets during the holidays, followed all instructions carefully, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog and cats were clearly comfortable and well cared for, and she was very attentive to their needs. On top of that, she kept our home very clean and tidy, which we truly appreciated. Marina is responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

About: I am full time at home. I grew up with dogs, macaws, parakeets, rabbits, and tortoises. Each animal has its own unique personality just like us humans and I find that fascinating. I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was very young. I would love to spend time with your paw babies. **If you have a high energy pup I can run with your dog** Being home full time, allows me to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need while they are in my care. Having plenty of time and flexibility allows me to give them company, playtime and walks with them. I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and two dog parks within a 2 minute walk. As well many grassy areas for them to walk comfortably. I have plenty of indoor space for your pets bedding or crate if needed as well.

About: Hi! My name is Milena, and caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I’ve been around pets since I was 6 months old and have experience with different breeds, including German Shepherds, Chow Chows, Yorkies, Poodles, and Bulldogs. In addition to my personal experience, I have also cared for pets while living in Ireland and New Jersey, helping families with walking, playing, feeding, and giving attention and love to their animals. Due to moving between countries, I couldn’t always have my own dog, so caring for others’ pets became something truly meaningful to me. I currently work as a nanny, taking care of young children, which means responsibility, patience, and trust are a big part of who I am. If families trust me with their children, you can be confident your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I treat every pet like my own — with care, attention, and genuine love. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away I currently work as a nanny, which has made me very responsible, organized, and attentive. My schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it to your pet’s needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I always make sure pets get enough attention, walks, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved, whether in your home or during walks.

Sarah and her partner Embry really came to our rescue when our original house sitter bailed halfway through our time away. We reached out to them day-of with an urgent request for a new house sitter and they were very responsive and understanding of our situation and so patient as we worked together to coordinate a remote handoff of our spare key and house/pet care instructions. Even though they were just finishing a stay with an existing client, they came over as fast as they could and went above and beyond with their care. They checked in often (which was so appreciated since we were abroad and scrambling to make sure everything at home was ok), followed our pet care instructions to a tee, and even took the time to do some cleaning/laundry which we were not expecting but were so thankful for. Connecting with Sarah and Embry turned a stressful situation into a positive experience and we're happy to have met such reliable and caring sitters! We will definitely be reaching out to them for help again in the future.

About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions exactly as requested. I understand how important routines, safety, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, leashed walks, basic care, and providing calm companionship. I take this responsibility seriously and will always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home often, work from my phone, and enjoy building calm, consistent days that include walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets. I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow routines closely and treat each home with care and respect.

Rhokia was a wonderful dog sitter who took amazing care of my very attached Cavalier, Jax, while I was away on a work trip. Each day, she sent detailed updates about their walks and excursions, along with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even brought him toys! She made sure he was well-fed, gave him treats and plenty of affection, and most importantly, truly cared for and loved him while I was away. She was also a respectful guest in my home and left everything just as she found it—clean and organized. I can’t say enough great things about Rhokia and the exceptional care she provides. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hollywood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,497 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
