“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.”

“Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and cat for a week. He communicated consistently and left the house very clean. It meant so much to know our home and pets were in good hands while we were away!”
About: Pet care is already built into my everyday life. Three times a week I walk two 60-lb puppy Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I’ve successfully trained to walk calmly side by side. Every day I also take my own Black Mouth Cur on social outings to the dog park or dog beaches at Rosie’s Beach and Huntington Beach — over the last two years I’ve successfully socialized him to stop being aggressive. Mornings and late afternoons are set aside for client walks and drop-ins, while evenings and weekends open easily for longer visits or overnights. Because this is my regular rhythm, your pets receive consistent, focused attention every time. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily and weekly schedule. I maintain open availability throughout the week for walking both small and large dogs, with consistent morning and evening time slots reserved for clients. This structured yet flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, focused care without conflict. How do you care for pets in your home or your client’s home for the different services you offer? I provide care both in my home and in the client’s home, depending on the service requested. For walks and drop-in visits, I come to the client’s home and follow their exact routines, house rules, and any special instructions. For boarding or extended stays, pets are welcomed into my clean, calm, and fully pet-friendly home environment, where they receive individual attention tailored to their size, age, and needs. In both settings, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and consistent care so every pet feels comfortable and every client feels confident.
“Daylin did a wonderful job again. This was my second time booking with her, and she was just as amazing as the first. She sent me daily photos of my dog and kept me updated on everything that was going on, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares about the pets she watches. On top of that, she left my apartment extremely clean, which I really appreciated. I can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I am currently a bunny mom to 2 bunnies! So any time spent with dogs makes me so happy. I am currently helping two families for the past 4 years when they go on vacations or work trips. Me and my husband Michael are looking for a new babies to love and care for! I am off weekends. I work Full time Monday thru Friday. 10-5:30pm. I can do morning walks before work and after work. Me and my husband usually do the jobs together so if I am at work he can assist as well. Open availability during the weekends. I can house sit if you ever go on Vacation or work trips. I own a car so destination isn’t a problem. I can drive them to a local Dog park on request as well. I love taking dogs out for walks or having fun play time indoors or outdoors. 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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for several years and have experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide dependable, attentive care and make sure each pet’s individual routine and needs are followed closely. I’m comfortable with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care, and I always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. My schedule is open and flexible after 2:00 PM every day. I’m available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine and can coordinate visit times based on their individual care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable while in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, including my own, and I truly understand how important it is to provide them with love, attention, and dependable care. I’m a trustworthy, responsible, and patient dog sitter who treats every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently doing online real estate classes while living at home taking care of my own dogs and have plenty of time to help out other animal lovers. My little dogs have their playpens and crates for when they need and also have the stairs blocked off as they can’t use the stairs by themselves for safety reasons. My big dog lives inside most of the time with access to his doggy door at the garage.
“Julie was great. She interacted with our dog with great care and did sent a lot of pictures. She was very careful to feed her per our instructions. Teemu (the dog) is a senior dog and not able to walk very much so Julie just took good care of her. I would definitely use again.”
“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 had absolute peace of mind leaving Lucky with Lizett during a conference trip. As usual, she is amazing! Lucky was so happy with her, she sent regular updates and I felt all recharged and happy after the trip as everything was awesome when I came back. Highly recommend Lizett!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals from a young age. I had German Shepherds growing up and was involved in their everyday care, including feeding, playing, walking, and keeping them comfortable and safe. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, my experience growing up with dogs taught me to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual personality and needs. I’m excited to provide your pet with a safe, loving, and comfortable experience. I currently work part-time and am available for pet care all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, as well as Thursday mornings. During my available hours, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their behavior, surroundings, feeding schedule, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and secure, and communicate with you about how your pet is doing. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
“Anastasiia was all we hoped for. Our cat is shy and takes time to warm up, Anastasiia was able to make her comfortable quickly and showed how much she loved cats not only with her thoughtful questions but also with her continuous updates (including many cute photos). We knew our cat was in excellent hands. Gives peace of mind for when we have trips. Many thanks Anastasiia!”
“Eva is a doll! She looked after our older girls like they were her own. She handled our tricky pill-spitting Miso like a champ lol. We were provided with daily updates and pictures, she was also kind enough to also take in our packages and left our place cleaner than how we left it. Most importantly our dogs were unstressed with our leave with Eva and we will definitely be reaching out to her again. Thank you Eva!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after my own pets and neighbor’s dog when they’re out of town. I understand the importance of companionship and make it my mission to ensure your furry friends feel loved and never alone. Currently I’m in school and only working a part-time job which means that during the week I have free time. Except for Sundays I work at night so any time before 5pm. I have two friendly dogs - a large one and a small one- so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. If your dog is shy, I can easily keep my dogs separated to ensure your pup feels safe and at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Liz was very professional from start to finish! She was communicative and patient with our pup who can be timid and standoffish at times. Eventually, our dog warmed up due to Liz’s kind nature and by the end, Pippie was snuggled with her and didn’t want to leave her side. She helped her with medication administration, feedings, walks, and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. We would definitely invite Liz back if she wanted to sit for us again!
Marianna took care of my elderly dog and cat for 10 days. i’m so pleased with her loving conscientious care as well as her communication. I feel she was fully present for my animals and communicating with me. My “babies” and my house were in excellent shape when I came home and I had such piece of mind while I was away-Thank you!
Grace was awesome!!! We had a great experience with Grace watching Mezzi! Mezzi can be a nervous pup, so we really appreciated how patient, gentle, and understanding she was with her. She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mezzi was happy and well taken care of. She was also very respectful of our apartment and left everything so clean and tidy when we got home. We would absolutely trust her with Mezzi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Indra was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She sent us plenty of photos and videos throughout our trip without us ever having to ask, which we really appreciated! She also asked questions whenever needed and made sure she had all the information to take the best care of our dog. Our initial meet and greet was extremely helpful for both of us, and she even took the time to do another meet and greet two days before our vacation to make sure everything was set. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend Indra and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
We just moved to the area and Marianne was wonderful keeping our minds at ease while we had to go out of town without our two cats. Marianne provided daily updates with pictures, was super responsive, and even our shy cat loved her. 10/10 will be booking with her again. We’re so grateful!!
Jackie was such a wonderful home and pet sitter! She sent multiple updates a day with photos and engaged with my kitty above and beyond what I was expecting — she even helped reinforce training we’d started before I left on my trip. She checked in with me when the power went out unexpectedly and the fire alarm false triggered, and was generous and understanding about the inconveniences. She left my home clean and well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend her!
WHAT A GEM! I reluctantly want to write our rating because she is truly wonderful and we want her all to ourselves! haha Kristen is incredibly professional, attentive and a wonderful communicator. She is everything we could have asked for and more. We had a dog recovering from a serious surgery with a list of meds and an elderly dog that needs attention, which she handled with absolute grace and confidence. A wonderful person who we look forward to working with again.
Josh and Fi are wonderful and have watched our pets for drop-ins, long trips, walks, etc and have taken care of them through health issues and sicknesses. They are the most reliable, responsible, and communicative sitters and we are sooo thankful to have them!
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!
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!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
