“Jennifer did a great job with my senior pup and young kitty. She is patient, attentive and communicated constantly throughout her stay. We had a massive heatwave and Jennifer ensured my boys were safe and well cared for. She took great care of my home as well. It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves. I booked her immediately for another stay!”

“I can't recommend Scott enough! 🐾 I booked him to care for our dog Dexter, who is very anxious and follows a strict routine. From the moment they met, Dexter—who is typically very shy and slow to warm up—immediately took a liking to Scott. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. We were gone for two weeks on an international trip, and I was extremely nervous about leaving Dexter for that long. Scott stayed at our home to help maintain Dexter’s routine and reduce his anxiety. He sent daily updates with photos and videos, and his communication was 100% consistent and reliable throughout our time away. 📸🐶💬 When we returned, we were blown away. Dexter was calm, happy, and relaxed—as if we had never left. There was no sign of stress or anxiety, which is a true testament to the level of care Scott provided. Our home was also in perfect condition—Scott took just as great care of our space as he did of Dexter. This was the best possible outcome I could have asked for, and I truly feel Dexter was in the best hands. Thank you, Scott, for being so professional, kind, and attentive. We’re so grateful—and Dexter is too! 🐾❤️🏡”

About: I've had dogs growing up my whole life and lived with cats during college. I love animals, always have. Recently my childhood dog of 15 years passed away and I still have a lot of love to give; currently that love is going to our neighbors dogs. I'm able to help out with pet care during the day very easily. My only commitment is weekdays from 3pm-8pm in Beverly Hills. But with that my employers are very flexible and understanding. I know that my dog preferred to stay at our home so I understand dogs that like staying in their environment and not changing their routine. My old gal also had a specific schedule of going outside ever couple of hours, medicine, and food at certain times of the day. So a complicated schedule doesn't faze me.

She was extremely attentive, loving, and thoughtful, and she kept me updated throughout the stay with so many photos and videos. It was clear that Louie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her communication and the extra effort she put into making sure everything went smoothly.

“5 +++ stars for Tommy's amazing care!! We are visiting LA and needed to find someone to stay with 2 dogs on short notice, as they were anxious staying alone in a new place. We absolutely won the lottery when we connected with Tommy! He was so responsive and flexible, and very thoughtful about the best way to greet the dogs to minimize their anxiety about meeting a new person. His patience, kindness, and ability to help dogs relax in his presence are unmatched. Tommy knew exactly how to support the dogs (one of whom has "big feelings") and before long the dogs were napping and snuggling with Tommy on the couch :) Tommy sent great updates and photos which really put me at ease while I was away. Any dogs (and pet parents) would be fortunate to be Tommy's clients!!”

She took the time to come meet the girls and to see what the walk is like with a senior pup, she was kind and gentle and loving with both bunny (which was new for her,) and pup. Daisy was communicative, sent pictures, and was not afraid to ask for clarification when she had questions - something I so appreciate. I felt such confidence leaving both my girls and my home in her hands. She is great!!”

I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and committed to providing a comfortable, stress-free environment. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday; therefore, I am available most weekdays after 7pm, or before 8am, and available during the weekends after 11am. I have experience caring for pets in their own homes, making sure they stay comfortable in their usual environment. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent, and I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I also make sure to keep the home clean and send updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I was born and raised in France, surrounded by animals, as my parents were huge animals lovers (to the point where I sometimes thought they preferred them to their own kids). For several years I couldn't have an pet of my own because I traveled a lot, but today I live with my wife (who had her 19-year-old cat and a 30 -year-old donkey when we met), and we now have Frankie, a 4-year-old cat we first fostered for a few months before adopting him. We're also a foster family for shelter cats and dogs. I started out helping my wife (who has been a professional pet sitter for 3 years), and I've now been pet sitting on my own for a year. My priority is the animal's well-being: I adapt to what they want and need, and I never force anything. Some of them need a lot of affection, others just want company, and others simply want someone to feed them and take them out... I love to be that person, whatever the situation calls for. Two little extras: coming from a video background, I love taking nice photos of the pets I look after, and I'll happily share them with you. Being French, I can speak to your pets in French, so they can pick up the language (and maybe teach you later) ;) Pets always come first in my schedule. I'm sometimes unavailable on Sunday mornings (I'm currently working on freeing up that time), but I'm fully available the rest of the time. I can also stay at your place (for one night or several days) if needed. My pet-sitting philosophy is that caring for animals happens on two levels: 1 - What I need to learn from the pet's owner, and honoring the trust they place in me, by: * Arriving and leaving on time * Following the instructions I'm given (food, sleep, walks) * Meeting the pet's needs (playtime, walks, or simply giving them space...) * Communicating any detail that seems concerning to me 2 - What I need to learn from the animal itself, in order to: * Earn their trust * Build a bond between us * Make each of my visits a truly enjoyable moment for the pet

“Kimberly was really great with my pets, when I came home I could tell they were all well taken care of and so was my home!! My dog and cat came down with a little bug before I left and she did a great job caring for them, making chicken for my dog, and more. I was anxious leaving them while they weren’t feeling 100% but she kept me updated every few hours on their symptoms. I would definitely recommend Kimberly to anyone who is looking for a great and reliable sitter :)”

“Yulay was a wonderful house/pet sitter during our recent 5-day trip! I was really nervous about leaving my senior dog. He's 14.5 and super special needs (he takes a bunch of medications 2x/day and requires frequent potty breaks). Yet after meeting Yulay during our meet & greet I was completely reassured that he would be in good hands. She was super friendly to him and asked all the right questions. She also watched my young dog, who at the time was dealing with issues due to not being neutered, and my kitten. They all warmed up to her instantly. We were gone for 5 days and though I missed my boys a lot, Yulay sent frequent updates so I could rest easy knowing they were in good hands. I would highly recommend booking her. She has a very clear love for animals and will treat your pets as if they are her own.”

About: Hi! I’m a college student whose dog is back home. I grew up on a farm so I’m used to being surrounded by and taking care of animals and am really wanting to do some pet sitting. I am a full time intern 4 days a week (9-5) and also have classes Tuesday evening and Thursday afternoon and evening. My weekends are very free and I have breaks mid day on Thursdays and typically only have my internship half days Friday. Having had years taking care of all kinds of animals I am able to adapt to any pets needs. I love hanging out and playing with dogs and cats and love snuggles. I’m very detail oriented and used to handling medication schedules. My dog has had a few surgeries and I’ve cared for her and monitored her through recovery.

My home provides a quiet, safe, comfortable, and clean environment where your pet can relax and feel cared for. With no roommates, I ensure undivided attention to your pet’s needs. I am highly routine- and schedule-oriented, which means your pet will enjoy consistency and structure. If I need to take your pet with me during the day, they’ll be in great company—surrounded by my dog-loving colleagues who are ready to shower them with love and attention. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from playful puppies to senior animals requiring special care. Whether it’s playing fetch, giving plenty of affection, or sticking to your pet’s unique routine, I prioritize their comfort and happiness. As someone deeply connected to the West Hollywood community, I’m confident that my personalized care, attention to detail, and love for animals will make me stand out.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, making me an ideal candidate to look after your furry family member. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing me to be attentive and available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and affection. My routine is simple and consistent: I start my day with a workout at Heimat, followed by focused work hours at home. In the evenings, I enjoy taking leisurely walks around my neighborhood, which is perfect for tiring out your pet with exercise and exploration of the beautifully manicured lawns in the area. Afterward, I settle into a cozy evening with dinner and relaxation at home, ensuring your pet has a calm and loving environment to unwind. My flexibility and routine ensure your pet receives care that’s not only attentive but also predictable, providing them with the stability and activity they need to thrive. Whether it’s a quick midday check-in or a long evening stroll, I’m here to keep your pet happy and healthy while fitting seamlessly into my schedule. Safety, Trust, and Environment When your pet is in my care, they’re treated like a cherished member of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, complete with a cozy bed or clean, fresh linens if they prefer sleeping on the floor or snuggling on the bed. Their comfort is my priority, and I’m happy to cater to their dietary preferences; whether that’s spoiling them with chicken treats or maintaining a clean, healthy diet of your choosing. My neighborhood offers amazing pet-friendly amenities, making walks and outdoor time both enjoyable and stimulating. Inside my home, I ensure an stress-free and peaceful atmosphere where your pet can relax and rest comfortably until your return. I pride myself on being clean and detail-oriented, ensuring that both my home and any space I enter for pet care are spotless and welcoming for your furry friend.

Rest assured, your pet will be loved, well-cared for, and happy while they’re with me.

“This was our first time using Rover and we were a bit nervous about having someone house and dog sit for us. Our concerns were completely unfounded. Dani was a dream. She was very responsive to our messages, showed up on time and took very good care of our house and dog. She gave us regular updates while we were away. And, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She even washed and folded all the bed linens. On top of that, she just a delight to be around. She's kind and genuinely cared about us and our dogs. We will be working with Dani again.”

It takes a while, even several visits for Sophie to warm up to new people. She’ll bark, howl, and cry until our return. But Ashley was compassionate and kind to her, and we really appreciate her for that. We look forward Ashley caring for Sophie again.

Christine hopped on to help us when our usual sitter had an emergency. One of my dogs is particularly anxious with strangers so I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. I felt so much better as soon as we met her and she was so gentle and accommodating! Toby warmed up to her (as best he can lol) and I am so thankful! She also left the place clean and sent us regular updates. A meal prep delivery arrived earlier than expected and she put it all in the fridge without being asked. Would 1000% use her again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in West Hollywood is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $115 per night. 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 13,801 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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 , 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 .

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.

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 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 .

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.
