Quinten was amazing, when she met Tabata she had the sweetest response from our cat I immediately knew that it was everything was going to be ok. She followed all our instructions and sent us pictures to make sure we knew Tabata was in great hands. We are very thankful with Quinten for going above and beyond for our fur baby. Thank you! 😊 🙏🏽

About: I am a professional dog groomer as well as a pet sitter. Grooming is done in my home in a calm and safe environment. Dogs are not caged and are treated with respect and without any kind of stress, no matter how long it takes to groom.I've loved and care for dogs ever since I was a child and I've always trained my own dogs. I enjoy taking dogs for nice long walks and to play at the dog park . My furry guests can expect lots of hugs and kisses and to cuddle with me on the sofa. I only take one dog at a time, so rest assure that your dog will receive my utmost affection and attention. You are welcome to bring all your dogs favorite food, bed, toys and treats so it will not miss anything. This is my full time job, so I'm always available at home. Your dog gets to play with me at any time and I make sure all his/her needs are met. I'm 100% committed to the care and safety of your dog. My husband and I live in a one floor family house that has an open layout, so there is plenty of space for your pooch to run around and hang out. The house also has a large fenced yard with a pool and beautiful tropical landscape. There is a park just a walk away with a nice trail and separate dog parks for large and small breeds. We enjoy taking photos and videos of our furry guests, which I share with their human parents on a daily basis. Your dog will love it here so much he/ she will be happy to come back and stay with us any time you go away.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since 2009 , i fostered dogs of all ages and sized from petsmart as I grew up. I’m currently working full time but I’m available after 6 Monday through Friday and on the weekends all day. I work from home but I can come to you. I have an open relationship fenced yard due to the fact that I live in an apartment but my apartment is open for all dogs. The pets would still be token outside for play time in the yard but would have to be on a leash.

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 have been a dog owner in my entire life. I have dog-sat for family and friends for over 20 years. Some of the breeds were: Jack Russell, English Springer Spaniel, Boston Terrier, English Cocker Spaniel, Chocolate Lab, German Shepherd, Husky, Poodle, and Labradoodle. I typically do not sit for certain large or strong breeds such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or Mastiffs. However, I’m always open to a conversation to see if it’s the right fit for both of us. :) I am also comfortable with administering medications if needed and caring for elderly dogs. If your dog needs to be picked up or dropped off at the vet, etc, we can make arrangements as needed. I am very compassionate and will try and tend to every owners/pets' needs. I look forward to sitting your baby and making him/her feel right at home!! * * I currently work full time, however, I’m available for walks and drop-ins: Weekdays: 6AM-7AM (M-F) or 6PM-9PM (M/T/TH/F) Weekends: 2PM-9PM (SAT/SUN) Please feel free to reach out as I may be flexible. 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.

Ivan was an incredible pet sitter for my shy cat, Daisy. From the start, he understood her gentle nature and took the time to earn her trust. During each visit, he made sure to actively engage her in play, especially with her favorite toys, which really brought her out of her shell. Ivan is caring, patient, and dependable; the kind of person you feel comfortable trusting with your home and your pet. I came back to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, high-quality care while they’re away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hollywood on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,289 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hollywood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hollywood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
