“Ekaterina was so great! It was my first time leaving my kitties, so I was nervous, but after the meet and greet I knew they would be in good hands! She checked on them twice a day, and by the time I got back they were still their normal happy selves. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her again in the future.”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have been around dogs and cats. Whether they are my own or friends', I have always been an animal lover. I have had numerous opportunities to take care of furry friends and love to do so, especially as I am currently a traveling graduate student. Over the years, my experience has ranged from daily feedings and active walks to creating a calm, safe environment for pets while their owners are away. From one animal lover to another, I value bringing a high level of responsibility, clear communication, and detail-oriented care to pet sitting. I deeply respect every animal's unique routine and make it a priority to treat your pets like my own, ensuring they receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. You can always count on timely photo updates and total peace of mind knowing your best friend is in dependable hands. During the week, I am off by 3:30pm and have generally an open schedule during the weekends to provide care, play and walks of many sorts. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting services exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. With a highly dependable vehicle and strong time-management skills, you can count on me to always arrive on schedule. My top priority is to build trust with both you and your pet by providing dedicated, high-quality care, strictly following your routine, and keeping you updated every step of the way so you can have complete peace of mind while away.

About: I come from a family of pet lovers, and pets have been part of my family my entire life. I currently share my home with two senior cats, and as a longtime Rover client myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. My experience goes beyond the usual, too. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, and birds, so there's not much that surprises me. I'm comfortable giving medications and caring for pets at any stage of life. Most of all, I'm dependable. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to show up on time, follow your routines, send photos and updates, and make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you're away. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. I'm usually home during the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and keeping a close eye on your pet. I'm happy to accommodate early morning or evening visits and can often take last-minute requests. I'll follow your routines for feeding, walks, play, and medications, so your pet stays comfortable in the surroundings they know best. I'm happy to take care of the little things too, like bringing in the mail, adjusting lights, and making sure everything is tidy and secure before I leave. I'll send photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I'll reach out right away if anything seems off.

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’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 5 years of pet care experience. I previously lived on a ranch where dogs were bred, so I spent a lot of time around dogs of all ages, especially puppies. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for my own dog who lived to the age of 16, giving me personal experience with the love, patience, and attention senior dogs need. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, puppy care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pet. I have two pets of my own who love their mom so they need attention constantly. My pets would receive their walks early in the morning to get the day going and good vibes flowing. My pets are on an eating schedule so of course I would follow any schedule your pet is on! Check ins are super super important so that would be another priority daily to ensure you’re comfortable. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and routines while making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I am attentive, responsible, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own.

About: Aside from loving and raising dogs with my family my entire life, I am now a a dog mom to two adorable babies, Mochaccino and Lady Lemon. I have also been a proud foster dog mom to four dogs, which have all gone on to find their forever homes. Through fostering, I have gained experience in caring for dogs with special health needs, dietary restrictions, and unique temperaments. I have cared for a young and senior dogs for family and friends, as well as a litter of puppies. I work remote so I have an open schedule during the week if your pet requires special and timely care. I also have an open schedule on the weekends. I am currently in San Diego for the summer and offering services here. I have huge backyard for zoomies and sunbathing. My pets get supervised outside time in the backyard several times a day, and 30-minute to 1-hour walks twice a day. My dogs are mainly indoors and are allowed to free roam, and hang out on furniture, these rules will apply to any pets I care for, but I can also crate if needed - most of the foster dogs I have cared for have been crated. I have worked with drop-in visit clients, in which I have visited and walked their pets twice a day on the agreed days and times.

About: Hi! My name is Sheni and I have 8 years of experience taking care of family, friend’s, and neighbor’s dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of two precious dogs long term in Jersey before moving here to Florida. This experience has given me the chance to learn the personalities of two very different breeds with different personalities, routines and needs. It has also deeply grown my love for animals in general. I’m extremely caring, patient, understanding, and adaptable to the needs and quirks of every dog I’ve come in contact with. I am committed to treating your dog like my own family and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while away from their real family. I look forward to meeting your furry friend; please feel free to reach out with any questions! As I recently moved to Florida from Jersey, I have pretty open availability most days. I am willing to plan my daily tasks around your needs! I live in a one bedroom apartment with a balcony in Hallandale Beach. The apartment complex has tons of grounds for walking and a really awesome dog park.

About: I love the outdoors and enjoy taking walks, specially with fuzzy companion to have fun with. Ever since i can remember, I've had animals and feel like I am well liked by most dogs and cats. I wont let anybody harm your dog while they are in my care. Your mascot should know that we will have to abide by mom and dad's rules, but can still have fun. I like to play ball, Frisbee and an occasional trip to the doggy park, may be in our plans.... spending the night together will be bonding time and great times... When needed or requested I will groom your pet and keep house clean as well as make sure food is provided. I Would be willing to meet your mascot before babysitting to confirm that we will get along. I love the outdoors. Presently am at home most of the day exception to buy something or go to park and when called to work. Would love the company of a doggie to play and give love to when doggies parents are away. I have always had dogs and cats from early childhood. I currently have none and miss having a pet. Mostly feed some stray cats when possible.

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 had animals my entire life! Dogs and cats of all sizes and ages/abilities, bunnies, birds, and fish! I love working with all animals (even the "difficult" ones that often just need love the most)! I am happy to clean up messes or care for sick or injured animals, whatever you and your fur babies need to be happy and healthy =) I am currently working full time as a teacher, so I am available for pet care services starting at 4:30pm Monday-Friday. Weekends are totally flexible! I only pet sit at clients' houses because I have a small home with a dog and bird of my own. I am happy to provide care for your pet in whatever way you need, I will follow your directions precisely.

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

Lola is wonderful, she watched my 16yo senior cat while I traveled out of town for work and made sure I was informed throughout the entire trip. My cat takes an oral medication twice per day so traveling can be stressful but I felt at ease and had peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands and well cared for. I would recommend Lola to anyone, thank you again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hollywood is $21 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 7,157 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 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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
