“We have an older dog who has a specific diet to help control seizure activity as well as recovery medication in the case of a seizure. Kristina did a meet and greet the day before we left which included the instructions for the diet/recovery. She connected with Lucy and was asking all the right questions about her care. She didn’t have experience with a seizure dog. She messaged me later that night that she had researched all of the supplements Lucy takes as well as the seizure recovery medications so that she could be more knowledgeable should anything happen while we were gone. This was above and beyond!! While we traveled she sent detailed updates and photos of Lucy at each of her drop-ins. Would definitely have her back to care for Lucy.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including more than 10 years as a sitter through Rover. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities, including Jack Russell Terriers, English Springer Spaniels, Boston Terriers, English Cocker Spaniels, Labs, German Shepherds, Huskies, Poodles, and Labradoodles. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. I can also assist with vet pick-ups or drop-offs by arrangement. Safety is very important to me, so I evaluate larger or stronger dogs individually based on temperament, leash behavior, and handling needs to make sure we’re a good fit. I’m compassionate and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs, and my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, including daytime, evening, and weekend requests. Advance notice is always appreciated, but I may also be available for same-day requests depending on my schedule. Please feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need. I’m happy to discuss availability. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and always treat your pets and home with care. I double-check leashes, doors, and follow all instructions to keep pets safe. I build trust by being calm, consistent, and affectionate. Security and comfort are priority.

About: Having spent several years helping my mom run a pet sitting business, I know firsthand that the first few days in a new environment or with a new person can be stressful for a dog. My main goal is to make that transition as smooth as possible. I use patience and scientifically proven techniques to make sure that every dog, no matter how shy or anxious, feels safe and comfortable with me. I am fully comfortable with administering any needed medication, whether it’s in pill, liquid, or inhaler form. No matter whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I have the experience to handle them all. If you have special requests or a detailed routine, I’m more than happy to follow them to the last detail to make your pet feel right at home! My schedule is completely open and flexible for anyone and everyone. Whether short notice or planned ahead, I am available to give your dog full care! Everything is done at your pet's pace with full respect for their boundaries. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable, giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I sometimes take care of my neighbors 2 dogs & another neighbors cat. I own my own dog in which I have trained myself & she is very well behaved. Growing up I had 2 cats that I loved very much! I'm looking for the opportunity to meet many other pets with my daughter because she too loves animals! ♡ I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible! Time I wouldn't be available would be during my daughter's nap time (2PM-4PM). I have a yard, but only partially fenced. My dog roams around on her own as she is trained very well not to run off. She is very friendly & high energy; loves to run & play! The 2 dogs I sometimes take care of I walk them to my yard to do their business with my daughter in the stroller, I always make sure they drink water once we are back before putting them in their designated areas of the home. The cat I care for I always make sure to allow her to sniff & get comfortable, then I refresh her water & feed her canned wet food. I usually stick around for a bit to pet the animals & make sure they are good before I leave the homes.

I possess a profound understanding of dog psychology and behavior, allowing me to recognize each dog's specific needs. My deep love for dogs is at the core of what I do, and I am committed to ensuring your pup feels at home while you are away or at work. I am working towards transforming my lifelong passion into a career. If you have any questions or concerns before booking a service with me, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Depending on the needs of the dogs I'm looking after, I ensure they get their necessary potty breaks, are fed on time, and enjoy plenty of playtime. If I ever need to step away, no worries - my dog-loving wife stays home with them, so your pup is always in good hands. I own an adorable 10-year-old Shih Tzu (Stanley) who enjoys making new friends.

I make sure the pups enjoy outdoor playdates at the dog park.

About: I am recently retired and have owned dogs for over 40 years. Your dog will get run of the house and the fenced back yard and can swim in the pool if they want. They can sleep on the bed and jump on the furniture, and I will always be here to keep an eye on them, short trips to the grocery store and the gym notwithstanding. I will only take on one dog at a time so your dog will get maximum attention. Please have all vaccinations and flea and heart worm meds current if you have outside dogs. I have a fenced yard for supervised play, and they can also pee and poop there in between the two daily walks they have in a sidewalked neighborhood. I have been a rover host for 4 years but had to take a new months off due to illness in my family. But I am back now and ready to spoil your dog and do everything I can to make them happy while you are away. I have been a Rover sitter for 4 years under the name of William and Bill Karp & Wiley, but William died, and I reported it to Rover, and they closed his account. So I am starting over. I am retired and am always home, I will watch your baby day and night in a safe environment with a big fenced yard. I make your dog my priority, so there will be walks every day and frequent trips to play in the back yard. I only take one dog in my home. The house is in a safe neighborhood, and the doors are always locked. Your dog will get maximum cuddles and rubs during the day if they like that.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I am a responsible, reliable, and attentive caregiver whom pet parents can truly trust. I naturally sense animals’ moods and needs, which helps me build trust quickly. I enjoy playing, walking, and providing attentive, loving care, always adapting to each pet’s personality to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy!🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, unhurried walks, playtime, and consistent care. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, which helps me build trust and a strong connection with each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, home-like environment at all times.

During my trip, a minor emergency came up with a closed door, and she kindly adjusted her schedule to stop by earlier to fix it. I definitely recommend her and won't hesitate to book her again!

Pet sitting recommendation in Dania Beach! I recently booked Aliajh to pet‑sit my dog Duke while I traveled for two days, and she was absolutely wonderful. She’s a neighbor, and I had already met her and her family long before booking — so I felt comfortable from the start. She’s incredibly attentive and genuinely loving. Duke is a 40‑pound staffy with a big personality, and she handled him with total confidence and care. Not only did she walk him at every visit, but she also stayed longer to play with him and give him extra attention. She sent frequent text updates, photos, and check‑ins, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing Duke was happy, exercised, and cared for made all the difference. I highly recommend Aliajh to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible sitter. Duke adored her — and so did

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hollywood is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. 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 7,259 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:

  • 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.

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.
