“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“Emily and her dog Maple were great at taking care of my dog, Leo! He loved playing with Maple. She was also super accommodating on some scheduling changes for drop off and pickup times for boarding. Would definitely recommend using her for daycare and boarding.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“Katy was so accommodating and kind! She has a great yard for dogs and my dogs came back looking happy and well fed! She's great at sending pics/videos. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Tian was great with our pup. I needed a sitter for a last minute trip and he was super quick to respond. Always responsive and kept me constantly updated with pictures of our dog. I felt good about her being with Tian and would definitely use him again.”
“Marilyn took such good care of our pups! She sent pics and video, and they had a blast. (Even our cranky older dog haha) We were gone for 2 weeks and knew they’d be in good hands from the moment we did our meet and greet. Will definitely be bringing them back next time we need a sitter.”
About: Our family loves dogs! We have taken care of dogs from friends and family, and thought it would be great to do more. Our sweet doggie Payton passed away so we don’t have any pets in our home right now. We have two young daughters (4 and 3) who grew up with our beloved Payton (a shitzu) and adore dogs. I work from home and Mark’s schedule is flexible. We are often home all day, so we can accommodate puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and attention. We don’t have a yard, but happy to take your pup out as frequently as needed- grass is close by! We would love the chance to get to know your loved one and will treat him/her like family :) Mark and I are both home nearly all day except when one of us goes to run an errand. We can accommodate walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. And lots of play time :) We live in a secured 2-story townhome. We have a balcony but no yard, but can take your pup outside for walks or potty breaks as often as needed. Our neighborhood is very safe.
“Maria and her children were great! We dropped off both of our dogs for 18hrs while in town for a wedding and they kept to their feed and walk schedule while accommodating for a super early morning pickup! We’re so grateful for their help!!”
“Joseph and Karen are great - they took good care of Muffy who had a wonderful time at their beautiful home. They are kind, attentive to the pet’s needs and schedule , provide updates and very pleasant to interact with. Muffy was comfortable immediately on meeting them and came back happy! Thank you.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and have even fostered a few pups until they found their forever homes. I’ve also always had a soft spot for cats and love getting to know their unique personalities! Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet afternoon filled with naps and cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family members. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, kindness, and plenty of love, just like they’re my own! 🐾 I work from home and run my business so I am able to decide my own hours. I love all pets and having them around brings such a great environment and I love to create a safe space for them since I have a lot of free time! I have an outdoor dog area with room for your pup to run around and have fun in. I also have crates available if you’re needing that! I will have my upmost attention on your pup at all times to ensure extra safety and I have some puppy friends your dog can bond with while here with me if you’d like!
“My pup loves going and visiting her Auntie Vanessa when mom and dad need to travel! I love getting all the photo updates and know that she is very well taken care of whenever we are out of town!”
“My dog was happy and played with a lot of friends. Highly recommended. Very friendly host. Good people and sent daily photo update of my dog. Really nice to see that. They took good care of him for a week. Brought home a happy dog. Can’t wait to put him back and play again.”
“Brittany was great, she was so flexible with our drop off and pick up times and kept us updated through the day via text. Lola had a great time playing with her dogs as well. Highly recommend!”
“She was wonderful and super attentive. My dog enjoyed playing with her son, win, win! She did everything I asked of her to do. Already have her booked for a second visit.”
“She is amazing! Our dog had SO much fun! I was so worried to leave our dog with a stranger but Renee made us feel like totally comfortable. She sent tons of pictures and wore him out everyday with fun! Best dog sitter!”
“Brandie was great with Precious. She sent a lot of photos and videos throughout her stay. Precious got lots of walks and enjoyed the backyard a lot. I already booked another stay in two weeks and know Precious is in good hands.”

This is the second time I've asked Kyle to watch my baby girl and he is a wonderful sitter. He is so sweet and gentle with the doggos and is super communicative. I will definitely request Kyle again in the future, he is a caring, loving expert in pet care. Thank you Kyle!!
Jasmine took care of our son’s Maltipoo, Calvin, for about 13 days while we were away, and she was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and showered with love and attention. Knowing Calvin was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were traveling. Jasmine did an amazing job, and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Jasmine, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Calvin! ❤️🐶
Tian is a great dogsitter! Through Harper's stay, he shared videos and photos, gave me updates on her activity, and asked me about her eating pattern to make sure it was normal. Very attentive and communicative with me before and during her stay. Harper seems really comfortable with him as well. I'd happily rebook with Tian!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hawthorne is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 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 November 2026, there are 9,526 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hawthorne can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hawthorne home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hawthorne.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Hawthorne sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
