“Lipika was the greatest. What piece of mind I had on my trip. This service is so worth it. The pictures and comment go a long way. Last time I asked a friend and I didn’t feel the care that Lipika had. Thank you for great people like her and I will book again for my upcoming trip in June and September!”

“We have used Kendra multiple times for our cat Buddy. She has been great with him, always on time, spending quality time with him and making us feel that we are giving him the best care while we are away. She is very flexible and works with us on short notice. We will continue to use her for our Cat Care needs. she's a ROCKSTAR!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Megan, and I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule thanks to my online classes. I'm a huge animal lover—especially cats—which is why you'll notice a lot of my photos are with cats! I've been caring for my mom's boss's cats for the past 2 years, helped care for and walk my close friend’s two dogs, and am currently walking the lovely Golden Lab on my profile every day in my hometown in the Bay Area. I’m moving to the Los Angeles area on the 29th and will be able for all services in LA after! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I may be younger than some sitters, but I'm dependable, patient, and genuinely excited to gain more experience doing something I love. Pet sitting is also helping me fund my college education, so I truly appreciate every pet parent, their booking, and the trust that comes with it. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine consistent, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m a very active person in my daily life, so I will have no issues with walking, carrying, or other high energy activities I may need to do with your pet! I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members, thanks for considering me! Once the semester starts and I move back to LA on the 29th, my class schedule will be very flexible, with Tuesdays and Fridays off completely. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have classes in the morning. My busier day, Monday, only consists of about 4 hours of class from 9-1:30 so, even at my busiest I am available for afternoon and evening services! I always do my best to maintain every pet’s daily routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home for an extended period of time or stopping by for quick visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and anything else you need. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I'll make sure they are well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you are aware of what your pet is up to, and to give you a little peace of mind while you’re away from them!
“I could not have asked for someone more accommodating to my special circumstances. Samantha showed up 10 minutes early to the appointment at my last minute request, and stayed in the hotel room with my dog while I went to government appointment having just flown in to LAX. She helped me during my time in need by taking such good care of my puppy. She even took him for a walk in the hotel! Samantha is kind, caring, and good human being overall. I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Daylin is punctual, communicative, and does an amazing job taking care of our dog Boba! (Boba can be a little apprehensive, and Daylin was very patient and sweet towards her.) She also constantly updated us on Boba's well-being. We highly recommend Daylin for your pet sitting needs!”
“Had a great experience with Marianna! She was very communicative, sent updates, and took great care of Zoey. Zoey looked happy in the photos and it gave me a peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Gassia is a star! I’ve had her care for my two babies several times now and to say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. Your fur babies couldn’t be in better hands”
About: I'm incredibly blessed to have always been around dogs, with my family having adopted our first puppy when I was eight years old. Now with three dogs in my family- a Pitbull mix and a collie mix, as well as a Belgian Malinois who lives with me- I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities, and understand that each dog is unique and requires tailored patience and care. In addition to having pets as a part of my family, I am also lucky enough to have volunteered with a local dog rescue, and have been petsitting professionally for five years. I also have experience in the veterinary field and am Fear-Free certified. Dogs are as dear to us as family members, and I want to ensure that your pet receives the best care possible. i’m currently in-between jobs and preparing for my master’s, so i would love to spend every spare moment i have helping you and your pup :) I have a large, fenced in yard at my home, and happen to live near a neighborhood park, perfect for walking through with your dog
“Caitlin was great in doing our cat “drop in” visits. Followed directions and played with the kitties. Very reliable, followed directions, and had great communication. She sent us such cute pictures of the kitties while we were away. Would hire again!”
“Brittany did a great job with my furry trio. I loved the photos that were sent over so I could see how happy they were. I got home and the pups were happy and the place looked great. Thank you soo sooo much!”
About: Hi! I’m a fellow dog mom who has booked walks and drop-ins for my own dog, so I know what it feels like to leave your pup to a stranger, and the love you have for them in doing so. Which is why I prioritize communication, safety, and making sure your dog feels comfy and happy. I stick to routines, give lots of love (if pup allows) and make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need. I treat every dog how I’d want my dog treated. You’ll get photo updates, clear communication, and peace of mind knowing your dog is with someone who genuinely gets it. Im currently working part time so my schedule can be flexible for drops ins and weekly walks. Especially in the early mornings and late evenings! I ensure that your pup is with me only at all times. I’m watching them like a hawk bc I have a beagle that tries to vacuum everything so I’m hyper aware of what your pup is sniffing.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hawthorne is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Lindsey is the best! She is always available, reliable, and great with communication. She was able to take care of my cat when I missed my flight and offered to see her more often than I requested as a wedding gift 💝 truly a gem !! She will go above and beyond for your fur baby. Highly recommend.
Sofia rocks! This is our second time having Sofia watch our kitties. She totally helped us out with a last minute care need and she even helped reset our router during the trip when we have wifi troubles and stayed through meal time to make sure the feeders were back up. Thank you again!!
Yiyu did an amazing job taking care of our boys while we were on vacation! She was always on time, very communicative, and brought such a warm, friendly energy when visiting our cats. One of our boys is particularly shy and even warmed up to her, which was amazing to see! Yiyu was wonderful overall and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well taken care of while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Yiyu!
Marianna went above and beyond to care for my dog, especially knowing she has arthritis in her hind legs and requires a little extra attention and care. She followed instructions, was attentive to my dogs needs, and communicated with me throughout the entire stay. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely hire Marianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter!
Citlalli was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked my two drop-in visits for the wrong day, but she was so flexible, understanding, and generous about it. She took such great care of my dog and sent me the cutest pictures and he looked so happy and comfortable! 🥹 I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. I would definitely book with Citlalli again and highly recommend her! ❤️
Rebecca is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. I get nervous leaving my cat but Rebecca sent thorough updates every day, lots of pictures and videos, and my cat looked SO happy and entertained hanging out with her. I didn’t worry at all on this trip, which meant so much to me. Rebecca goes above and beyond with everything and is a lovely caring person. I hope to book with her again!
Maggie was referred to me by a friend who is also a cat mama obsessed with her cats so I knew I could trust her. She took EXCELLENT care of our two cats. She was very communicative and compassionate. She was observant and made sure they always had what they needed. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation because I knew that they were in good hands! I highly recommend Maggie as a sitter for your pets!
Matt was amazing! He took great care of Chloe after we reached out with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He was quick to respond, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. We loved receiving picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be using Matt again for any future dog sitting or drop-in services. Highly recommend!
Suyoon is such an amazing care taker. She administered insulin shots to my diabetic cat (who can sometimes be a little grouchy) with ease. I definitely recommend Suyoon to anyone that has a pet that’s on the sensitive side or needs medication. She is awesome! 🤩

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,628 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hawthorne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
