“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.”

“Maggie was great with our dog Meeps! She was very attentive to Meeps during some rainy days, sent lots of photos and updates to us, and even let her share the bed with her! We were totally comfortable being out of town and knowing Maggie was taking care of our sweet doggie. Highly highly recommend!”

She sent us a lot of wonderful photos and updates! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy. We would definitely book with Julie again, I hope she feels the same!”

I understand every dog has different needs and personalities, and I work hard to make them feel comfortable and relaxed while away from home. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel at ease while their pets are in my care. I’d be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet. Pet care is my full-time focus, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and care throughout the day. And lots of love. My responsibilities includes, providing food and water, giving baths, administering medicine, taking dogs out for a walk, and providing companionship care an lots of love.
“Sarah and Karl were amazing with our 8 month old puppy for the week while we were gone. They checked in frequently, sent pictures, and updated me on anything new. They were also quick to respond to my messages. Highly recommend!!”

About: My name is Paige and I am currently an second year film student at LMU. Originally from Austin, Texas but currently based in LA. I have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one my neighbors would call to watch their pets or walk them throughout the day. I also have a dog myself, Joey, he is a Shih Tzu. I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs from training and working with 3 month old puppies to senior dogs requiring medication and specialized care throughout the day. My priority is always to make your dog feel comfortable and cared for even while their owner is gone. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and comply with any rules and boundaries given. I look forward to meeting new dogs around LA and growing a client base for me to always come back to.! As a college student I have many long gaps during the day which allows me to check in your dog routinely throughout the day. In addition my weekends are almost always available allowing me to spend extended time with your pets during the day and overnight. The first priority when in one of my client's home is to adapt my actions to the rules of your household. No matter how specific and vague they may be. In addition I would want to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe while I am watching them. Whether that is keeping them in a crate, making sure they have a specific toy with them throughout the day, etc. I love dogs and think that spending the time to make sure they feel comfortable is one of the most important parts of pet care.
“Andrew was great! He stayed with our Violet overnight and kept her fed and walked. She is typically a nervous pup so I was worried about leaving her with someone, but she seemed happy and content when we returned. Our internet went out the whole time Andrew was here, and he was very easygoing about it. We would definitely have him back!”
“Skye was amazing and took such good care of Gus and our home! She was able to come on short notice and save the day! Gus loved her and she was quick to provide many updates throughout the day! I would definitely book Skye again to stay with Gus!”
“Elizabeth is like a spark plug- full of energy and positivity. She is wonderful as a pet sitter and house sitter. She has saved me last minute more than once .She has been wonderful with all my crazy pets. I look forward to having her in my home much more in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Marianna was wonderful! During her first stay with our dog, he was so calm and at ease after coming home from a weekend away. This is a testament to the level of care and love he received with Marianna. She is very communicative, responsible, and did all of the things our dog needed to stay in routine and thrive!
Rima was great!! She made it easy. Chloe was so happy with her - and she's not happy with everyone. Rima is a woman of her word - a rare find these days. I will book with her in the future! She was tentative, understanding, and kind - it was like having a friend stay at our place.🫶
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, patient, reliable, and trustworthy pet nanny! She has cared for multiple dogs at once and has always shown so much patience, kindness, and genuine love toward each one. Every dog has its own personality and needs, and she does a wonderful job making sure they all receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. She has a calm, gentle nature, which is especially important when caring for small puppies. She is attentive, responsible, and truly has a heart for animals. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dogs are in caring hands. As someone who works with puppies and helps them find their forever homes, I would absolutely recommend her to any of my clients looking for someone they can trust to care for their new family member. Finding someone who treats your fur babies like family is priceless, and she is truly a gem! 🐶💕🐾
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!
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hawthorne is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $111 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 14,224 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 , 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
