“We always know that our pugs will be happy and well cared-for when D.H. looks after them. He knows how to adjust their routine based on the weather and their energy levels. His care and communication take away a big worry when we have to be away from them.”

“Elizabeth helped take care of our two big dogs at the last minute due to a family emergency. She was able to meet the dogs before we left and got along well with them. She came early in the morning to let them out and late to put them out before bed. She kept us updated with pictures in the rover card. We look forward to having her walk our dogs in the future. Thank you again!!”

About: I grew up with pugs, chihuahuas, and yellow labs who all made it to seniors (I have a soft spot for them) :) I’d love to take your pup on a beautiful evening / weekend walk or check in on them at home for feeding and playtime and belly rubs. On Fridays and weekends i am available 7/8a - 6p (approx.) and Monday - Thursday I’m available from 7am - 10am and ~6pm - 10pm. The best parts of my day are spent with your furry friends. ❤️ In my home, pets enjoy a calm, AC-cooled space and access to a secure, gated yard. In your home, I stick to your routines, give lots of love, and always leave things just as I found them. Peaceful walks and gentle care are my specialties.

“Olivia was everything I could have asked for and more in a dog walker!! I had myself backed into a tight corner and she absolutely saved me and Makalu from much more misery. Olivia was highly communicative and always willing to work with me on timing not to mention my dog absolutely LOVED her. I'll never use another rover and if you're looking for the same things I was you've found your match.”

“Fearless, caring, dependable, and not afraid to call reinforcements when she needs it. She can be trusted with your pets, trust me, we have four. They were rascals just to say the least of it. One of them was feral actually, swipe her a few times, even got her neck, but she came back the next day with battle scars and an unwavering tenacity to get the job done. She worked with others well to provide our cats, insulin, food, and love. We were quite worried actually and thought of coming home early from our trip, but, to our pleasant surprise we were able to stay the full length of our weekend trip. She was even so thoughtful as to leave babies gifts, which was not necessary at all! Would definitely use her in the future, I would recommend this sitter to anybody who has babies that are in need of attention and care, with the detail and consistency that ensures the safe and relaxing cat sitting experience!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends for all of my adult life! I’ve always been an animal lover and it goes both ways - some of the most difficult dogs always seem to like me. I’m extremely responsible and take pet care very seriously. As someone who would worry about my own pet in the hands of a stranger, I will always do my best to go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels cared for. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule! I’m happy to accommodate long or frequent walks if needed. Whether it’s boarding or going to your home, I’ll be diligent and respectful. I do not have a yard myself, but live in a great, pet friendly building and neighborhood. It is close to a park as well. I can accommodate crating or not, whatever your preference is. I am not precious about my furniture, so there’s no need to worry about your pet’s tendencies. I don’t have any pets myself and my space is very quiet and comfortable.

About: I've been taking care of our canine friends since the age of ten. I truly enjoy taking them for walks, caring for them, and for those that can taking them on adventures. Every dog I've had lived a long, full life so I have significant experience with senior dogs and their needs. This includes adjusting the walk routine, administering medicine and making special accommodations for their unique needs I have an adjustable schedule that I can tailor to my clients needs, if that means more one on one time I can dedicate the needed time for that. I have two friendly dogs and a very friendly cat, that have access to a fenced in property and a grassy area for lounging. I also have quick access to Runyon Canyon for hiking.

About: From the day I was born, I’ve been surrounded by and loved dogs. I also have over 7 years of experience with training and handling for dog shows with both 4-H and American Kennel Club (AKC). I graduated from USC in May 2025 and currently have a full-time job working at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle and am looking to walk dogs in West Hollywood where I reside. I don’t currently live with dogs in LA, but back in my Washington hometown my two lovely dogs spend their time split between a large gated backyard and indoors.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs all my life and understand their behavior and individual needs. I keep litter boxes and pet areas clean, always close toilet lids, and gently clean eyes only when needed. Dogs get regular bathroom walks — never just once a day. Most importantly, I respect boundaries: affection when they want it, space when they don’t. 🐾 I’m self-employed and don’t have a fixed work schedule, so I manage my own time. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets, including weekdays and weekends. My yard is not fenced, but I live on a wide, clean, quiet street with very little traffic. I never leave pets outside unattended. I also have a friendly, curious cat who is comfortable with both cats and dogs. I provide a clean, calm and safe home environment.

About: ✨ RECENTLY MOVED TO LA & am seeking new clients! ✨ As a lifelong cat & dog owner, I know how scary it can be to entrust a complete stranger with your fur babies. I can assure you that you and your angel will feel remarkable peace and ease with me. I am incredibly attentive, reliable, and loving. It would be a true honor to help make your life easier by relieving you of the stress to squeeze in walks and drop-ins throughout your already busy schedule. Need to go on vacation or a work trip? I can absolutely house-sit for you, as well! Fitness is a passion of mine, so dog-walking is genuinely a sacred and enjoyable time for me to be active in the sun with your lovely fur baby. I know how important exercise is for dogs and it brings me so much joy helping them release some energy outdoors. I have worked as a personal assistant for over 4 years where my boss entrusted me with everything within her home & small business. I even had the pleasure of helping her care for her precious children and adorable puppy, if needed. Family members always come to me when they need any help with their dogs. I promise you are in great hands with me and I will not disappoint. I am seeking regular clients that need routine walks every week. I am happy to walk up to 2 dogs per household and would love to be your go-to lady that you can depend on! I also love taking photos/videos, so you definitely will get updates of your cutie :) Currently, my schedule is very flexible besides my regular 11am-2pm acting classes on Tuesdays. I love starting every day with back to back dog walks and quality time with my furry clients. Mornings and early afternoons are specifically marked off for me to be with your little ones. I can do evenings as well, but would like an early evening walk to avoid walking after sundown for safety. :) I have 4 fur babies (1 puppy, 3 cats) and they mean the world to me- I would do anything for them! My home is a very clean environment for all of them to healthily play and enjoy. I attend to them just like I would a child- with so much love, joy, and tenderness.

About: Hi My name is Daniela...my cat Diandra is 17 years old and I saved her from South Gate shelter here in LA at 4 years old...She is my priority in life so I treat her like a queen... she is a senior now so extra love given through vitamins, softer litter for her paws, better digestive food etc...I love every animal on Earth because we are temporary guests with vegetation included....A pet is a guardian angel that sticks with us always and forever with love and affection. I treat every pet like my own so try me and you won't regret it. I volunteered at shelter so any pet is welcome in my arms. I don't have a car unfortunately. I'm mostly available every day, even last minute and for emergencies. My schedule varies day by day but im flexible and adaptable. I can take care of 1 or more cats/ dogs at the same time. Playing, lots of love and cuddles 💕 for every pet. Especially cats tend to love me right away because of my positive energy and attitude. I can clean litters, not a problem! Im trustworthy, reliable and I precisely follow provided instructions.

About: I've cared for cats and dogs since I was 12 and currently have two cats of my own, so daily feeding, play, grooming, and litter care are second nature. Over the last 10+ years I've also looked after friends' and family members' pets, including walks, medication, and lots of companionship. I'm comfortable with all temperaments, from shy cats to high-energy dogs. I'm reliable, communicative, and take the responsibility of caring for someone's pet seriously. I'm happy to send photo updates and keep owners in the loop so they can feel confident while they're away. I’m currently working fully remote so I’m home all day so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and play with both cats and dogs I live alone in a two bedroom apartment that has plenty of room for cats and dogs to relax and play. I also live in a very walkable area with a dog park just down the street.

About: I grew up with many pets, from cats and dogs to lizards and small livestock. In high school, I worked for the humane society as a dog walker and cat cuddler, so I have experience with animals that may have some trauma or behavior issues they are working through. I currently volunteer as a foster for local dog rescues but enjoy caring for other animals in between my time as a foster animal parent/traveling for work. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I specialize in senior animals, animals requiring more emotional support, and animals that may require more time and attention. I work full-time from home, as a Human Resources consultant, and have flexibility to care for and tend to your pet. I aim to maintain the schedule set by the owner and let so that they experience minimal disruption. I also can work from anywhere, including the homes of clients, if required. If you’d prefer housesitting or dog walking from your home, I will treat your property as I would your pet—with the utmost care. I am fortunate enough to live in a quiet, spacious bungalow with a small, fenced dog run in which to care for and house your pet if you so choose. The small fenced yard is great for puppies or any animals with mobility limitations that cannot relieve themselves on walks/etc. I live in a single story bungalow, so my unit is also great for animals who may have trouble with stairs or steps. I live on a quaint, safe side street that even reactive dogs can feel safe navigating.

Kaitlin is the best, would recommend her to anyone (and especially those with anxious pups)! We are so grateful to her for looking after our dog Buddy when we are out of town. She’s attentive and sends great updates throughout the day, and we always feel like we can enjoy our trips stress free because of the great care she takes of him. Even though Buddy can be an anxious and shy dog, she is always very patient with him and she quickly earned Buddy’s trust and love. We will be booking with Kaitlin again!

He is by far the best cat sitter I have ever had. He not only spent extra time with my sometimes problematic but adorable cat, he provided great photos, humor, and even went above and beyond and did my dishes and put them away and cleaned my carpet, which is insane, and I am so grateful. I will absolutely be rebooking him, and you should book him too. ( But not so often that I can't book him when I need him.)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Hollywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Hollywood on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 per visit. 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 19,229 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West 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 West Hollywood. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
