“Zakiya was great sending pictures and keeping us updated, including a note of what was the pups were up to throughout each day! She kept the house nice and clean during her stay with our doggos. Would recommend Zakiya!”
“Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.”
“Daylin was a tremendous dog sitter for our beagles, Slate and Astoria. My wife and I were in Las Vegas for a long weekend, and she took incredible care of them the entire time. She sent regular photos and videos, kept us updated, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well-loved. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending quality time with the dogs she watches. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Andrea is a great companion for our dogs when we go out of town. She is a great communicator and lets us know how they're doing throughout our time away. She is also very respectful of our home and leaves it in excellent condition. Highly recommend her services!”
“Brenda was great with my pets as always! She looked after my pets while I was traveling for the holidays and did an amazing job. She not only cared for them, including carrying out treatments for my sick kitten, but also left my apartment in better shape than I left it! highly recommend her to take care of your pets - you will not regret it!”
“Eva was so loving to our dog while we were away. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about our pup. She was very responsible, reliable, and communicative. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I have ample experience caring for other families dogs, as well as my own three who have now passed. I have been a trusted caregiver for pets for over 10 years, including overnight stays and drop-ins. I will care for your dog/cat as if they are my own family’s pets. I am currently not working after graduating College, so pet-sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a fully open schedule, and am ready to care for your sweet fur babies! I care for pets in my home, or a clients home, the way that I would care for my own pets. This care is full of love, compassion, energy and excitement.
“Nikki is amazing! Professional, experienced, kind, communicative, and most importantly, excellent with our dog. She watched our dog in our home and made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. I'd highly recommend her services!”

I can travel to your home to care for your pets. I can do feedings as well.
“Sid was absolutely fantastic! He stepped in on short notice to watch our seven-month-old Aussie Shepherd puppy and our four-year-old Aussie Shepherd at our home when we had to leave town for a few days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly gentle and patient — especially with our new puppy. He took his time, allowed him to warm up to him at his own pace, and made sure both dogs felt comfortable and secure. You can tell he genuinely cares about animals and understands their individual personalities and needs. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend Sid — we would absolutely book him again!”
“Gassia is one of a kind! Truly loved our Monty boy and took him on so many adventures. Tons of updates and pictures around town while we were away. Will absolutely use Gassia again 💕”
“Hannah was great! She is knowlagable and kind. She took great care of our foxhound, Hunter while we were away for a week. He had lots of stomach troubles and Hannah did her best to help him out and to communicate with us what was going on. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house with her sheets already in the wash. Thanks Hannah!”
“If I could give JoAnne more than 5 stars, I would. We hired her to stay with our Great Dane, Gandalf, for three days while we were camping. He had just had surgery, so this wasn’t a typical pet-sitting job. She stayed with him around the clock, administered all of his medications, monitored his recovery, and gave us complete peace of mind. JoAnne kept us updated throughout every day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages, so we always knew exactly how Gandalf was doing. It was so clear how deeply she understands animals. She has an incredible intuition, endless patience, and a genuine love for the pets she cares for. What completely blew us away was everything she did beyond caring for Gandalf. She unexpectedly cleaned our home, folded our laundry, and even washed all of our bedding so we came home after traveling to fresh, clean sheets. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and something we never expected. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate house honestly felt unreal. JoAnne is the real deal. She’s one of those rare people who genuinely loves both animals and people, and it shows in everything she does. We trust her completely and won’t hesitate to book her again. She is an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets.”
“Maggie was wonderful! She was responsive and very thorough in the beginning process. She came to meet and spend time with my cats ahead of time, which was very helpful! She’s mindful of preferences and any current routines and was responsive when I was away including sending updates at the beginning and end of the day. I highly recommend and would book her again. Thank you, Maggie!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine. As a seasoned veterinary technician, I don’t just provide loving care—I bring a trained eye for subtle changes in behavior, health, and comfort that others might miss. I’m experienced in administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with medical needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, knowledgeable hands. Beyond my medical background, I genuinely love building trust with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s extra patience for a shy pup, attentive monitoring for a senior cat, or energetic playtime for an active dog, I provide care that goes above and beyond standard pet sitting. With me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for by someone with professional veterinary experience and a true passion for animal wellbeing. Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day—it *is* my day. I’ve intentionally dedicated my full-time focus to providing attentive, high-quality care for the pets and families I work with. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and responsive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I strive to offer a concierge-style experience for my clients, with reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and a level of detail-oriented care that goes beyond the basics. Because I’m not balancing another full-time role, I’m able to prioritize consistency, availability, and a calm, unhurried approach—something pets truly benefit from. My goal is to make your life easier and your pet’s experience as comfortable and seamless as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they are my top priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their own familiar environment, surrounded by the sights, smells, and routines they know best. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care in your home while maintaining the routine and level of attention your pet is accustomed to. Each pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to meet their individual needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime and enrichment, medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those with medical needs. I take pride in offering a concierge-style pet care experience with thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and a commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving not only reliable care, but genuine love, attention, and understanding in the comfort of their own home.
“Miko was very patient, soft spoken with Riya. Loved the pictures sent to us. Riya seemed to adjust very well to Miko. Miko also helped us with our car emergency, helping us contacting AAA when my phone was not able to text, helped us unpack and repack, giving lunch to my husband while I was at service center. Miko also helped me reserve future dates to see my sisters again. She is very compassionate, to all of us. Look forward to seeing her again.”
“Marianne was great with our senior cat on a long trip. We knew we could trust her since she has a senior cat of her own. She administered his eye drops perfectly. We highly recommend. Thank you Marianne!”
“Indra was phenomenal. We were out of town and Eevee had a case of severe stress colitis while we were away, but Indra handled it very well and went above and beyond what was expected of her. Her compassion shows and Eevee was so thankful for all the help she provided. She kept in touch with us through videos/text and photos so we knew out furbaby was in good hands.”

Eva was so great with my kitten! She was very attentive and sent me lots of updates and cute pics while I was away. I felt comfortable and knew he was in good hands. I could tell she was super prepared as she even brought extra tools & things just in case. I would definitely rebook :)
I reached out to Lolita last-minute when my pup was sick and couldn't attend his regular doggy daycare, and I'm grateful she was available! She kept me updated throughout the day, was kind, and took wonderful care of him. My pup was excited to see her on day 2, which speaks volumes. I would not hesitate to book her again!
Brittney house sat for us and was very communicative, responsible and sent numerous updates / pictures. We felt at ease leaving our new puppy with her. She also came over in advance for a meet and greet to understand our dog’s routine. I would recommend Brittney and use her again!
Jackie was amazing! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone for over 2 weeks. We hate leaving him, but felt very grateful to have such a responsible and loving person with him. We got regular updates and pictures. She even got him extra treats and gave him a bath. We hope Jackie will come back next time to watch our doggie!
Indra stayed at my house for a week and watched my two dogs. I was very nervous because I had a 3 month old puppy that I was still potty and crate training. Indra sent photos and videos every day of the pups, watered my plants and took care of my house. She is very responsible and what I especially appreciated was she was committed to staying with my dogs and didn’t leave them for too long alone. I would highly recommend her and, in fact, I hired her the following weekend to watch the pups again.
This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with Mindy. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay at our home and kept us updated the entire time. Our dog absolutely loved her, and it was such a comfort to receive so many pictures while we were away. Seeing those updates made missing our dog a little easier. Mindy took wonderful care of both our home and our dog, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and all around amazing pet sitter.
Kristin is a god send!! My boys are big dogs with so much energy and sometimes some behavior issues. Not only did she get them to behave on walks, she has helped with some of their reactivity. She plays with them and loves on them so much and they get so excited when she comes over. And she’s an incredibly sweet woman. 12/10 would recommend!!!
She did well taking care of our very energetic Boxer pup. She sent us a picture and provided an update. When we arrived back home the house was in order. Usually or pup gets zoomies and will move the area rugs or coffee table. We would definitely book her again.
Marianna was such a great sitter! She took care of my house, leaving it more put together than before I left. She took out my trash, figured out the high tech litter situation, sent me cute pictures and even left me with a little card and Polaroids of my kitties. My cats were so mellow and happy when I came home. Seeing pictures of them piled on top of her left me feeling so secure that they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Marianna.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hawthorne. 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 Hawthorne 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 Hawthorne 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 Hawthorne 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 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 .
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
