“Stella was phenomenal. I needed her last minute and she was available! Came over to meet the dogs, then was on time and hanging out with them the entire time I needed her there. Sent pictures, was very responsive, and left the house in perfect condition. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again!”

“Chris did a wonderful job sitting for our sweet, nervous Standard. He was so patient and kind with her as this was the first time she’s been left her with others. He provided constant communication/feedback and took some of the best photos I have, to date, of my Pup. My home was left in perfect order and Birdie was completely comfortable upon my return. Would recommend Chris to any of my friends.”

I cannot say enough nice things about her. She leaves my home nicer than she found it and sends pictures throughout the day. She is excellent with communication. I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!”

“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: $$$$ >>>>I can give you $20 OFF your first booking $$$$$ send me a message to ask me how <<<<<<<< . Exclusive care for boarding. Your dog won’t be staying in a house full of other dogs you don’t know. No kids either. Your baby will have the peace and calm they deserve as well as my full attention 🥰 These are the reasons why you should book with me: 1) I am a very patient and calm person, very emotionally controlled. With me, you can have peace of mind that your baby is being very well treated, no matter what. I do not believe in physically correcting or punishing dogs. 2) I am a very honest person that doesn’t negotiate values and moral. I will always respect you, your home, your pet and follow your instructions thoroughly. 3) I LOVE being around cats and dogs. This is not a job for me, it is more like a hobby, honestly. Your pet will receive a lot of cuddles and kisses (if they like it). I guarantee you and your furbaby will love me! I work from home for my own business so my schedule is 100% flexible, I choose the time I start and finish working everyday based on my client’s dog’s needs. I do not have a fenced yard but I have a big front yard and can take your dog on leash for bathroom breaks. I will always be around and careful with what I have in the house that could cause them harm.

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 had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. From a young age, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and giving my dogs the love and attention they need. I’ve always formed incredibly strong bonds with my pets and genuinely see them as members of the family. More recently, I rescued a French Bulldog who has become my absolute best friend. She has taught me even more about being patient, attentive, and understanding of a dog’s individual personality, needs, and routines. I’m someone who pays close attention to the little things—whether your pet is feeling nervous, needs extra cuddles, has lots of energy, or simply wants someone to keep them company. When your pet is in my care, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own dog. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m very reliable and will always make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and lots of love along the way! 🐾❤️ My goal is to make your time away stress-free while keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. I make sure they’re in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I also understand that every pet is different, so I never force interaction and always give them time to feel comfortable with me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident and at ease knowing your pet is being cared for like family. ❤️🐶

I’m patient, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind. Pet care is my favorite excuse to get outside! My week happily revolves around wagging tails, belly rubs, playtime, treats, and making every pet feel loved and safe. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of love, and accept payment in tail wags, happy dances and enjoying the occasional cute petting. Much love

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.

“Audrey did a great job caring for our Great Dane for almost two weeks while we were away (stayed in our home w/the dog). Routinely updated and sent photos; didn’t hesitate to ask questions or request clarifications on food/activities/routine; and, probably the best feedback anyone could want, our neighbors asked for her contact info so they could hire her, too. Will book again and highly recommend.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was very young. I grew up with pets, especially dogs, and over the years I’ve developed a very natural connection with animals of all kinds. I truly love being around them and I’m very intuitive when it comes to understanding their personalities, moods, and needs. I believe animals communicate in their own way, and I’ve always found it easy to read their body language and understand what makes them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m patient, affectionate, attentive, and I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can adapt to your pet’s regular routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routine and their owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure they are fed, comfortable, safe, and given the attention, affection, playtime, or space they need. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away.

Stella was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home and cared for my dog for over two weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took excellent care of him and sent me updates every single day, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. It was clear throughout my trip that my dog was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Having someone I could trust not only with my dog but also with my home for such an extended period was incredibly important to me, and Stella exceeded my expectations. She is dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. I would absolutely trust Stella to watch my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. Five stars!

My dog is very cautious and sensitive around new people. Eliza used techniques to familiarize and comfort my dog.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,494 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

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.
