“Merissa was a great sitter for our two cats! She fed them, played with them, and brushed them, giving them all the attention they wanted and more. After her visit, she sent us a ton of pictures and a detailed description of the visit. Definitely would book with her again!”
“Lindsay was wonderful! She was very conscientious about everything she did! She was punctual, thorough, and took care of my cat very well. I would completely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Lydia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week - which involved two visits per day. We appreciated her care and communication. Recommend and would use Lydia again!”
“Julie and Johnny were outstanding. They watch all 3 of my kitties and did a wonderful job. They played and interacted with them and my kitties loved them. I would highly recommend them to watch your babies too.”
“I could tell once I came home my dogs (2 big 65 lbs boys) were super happy and relaxed after Ernest's visits. He is great with communication and I feel has proven to be very dependable. You can see he loves dogs and dogs love him. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mahaila. From our very first meet and greet, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals—my girls warmed up to her right away, which never happens! She was attentive, patient, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. While I was away, she kept in consistent contact, sending updates and the cutest pictures—my dogs looked so happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. It’s hard to trust someone else with your pets, but Mahaila made it easy. I’ve never felt more confident leaving them in someone else’s care. She’s officially our go-to now, and I’m so grateful we found her!”
About: Over the past couple years, I’ve taken care of many dogs. I was trusted to watch two elderly epileptic Rottweilers for a week and gave the family the freedom to go on vacation for the first time in 13 years. I was also a constant at one of my friends house to watch her five Boykin spaniels. I helped one of my friends gain leashed confidence and control with their large German shepherd husky mix. I was known around the neighborhood as someone to call if you needed a pet sitter I love all animals not just dogs and cats and would be happy to watch your fur babies for you. I’m currently working part-time at Publix, but I’m available Monday through Friday after 8am. Weekends are doable we just need to check for time in my schedule. I am very flexible and willing to work with you and your needs as well. Currently I do not offer in my home just with my current situation. I am willing to drive and/or walk your dog to a dog park. Or I do just offer to walk your dog. Just depends on what you are looking for!
“Emily was really good! I had an issue with my previous sitter and needed someone else to come check on my pets while I was already on vacation and she picked it up last minute and I appreciate it so much!”
About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals! My mom was a breeder so I helped take care of over 20 dogs at a time. I grew up with horses, chickens, birds, cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from new born to senior. I’ve house trained puppies many times and know how important schedules are. I have administered oral medications. I used to pet sit when I was younger for all of my neighbors and since having my child this year I have stepped back from work and have a more open schedule to do what I love again. I have two labs who are super loving but we do separate our animals from our clients if necessary. Our house has a separate furnished room with its own exit so we can separate completely. I have a love for ALL animals and will treat your pets like family no matter was species! Currently I am working part time 3 days a week and have weekends available . I am available after 3 on week days when my boyfriend gets home from work. I am home all day and until 4 on the days I work. My boyfriend is home every evening as well. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dogs entertained. If they are not dog friendly no problem, please let me know and we will separate all dogs! We can go on walks if that is your dogs preference! I will keep your pets schedule the same as if you were there.
About: With years of experience caring for both cats and dogs—and as an active foster for young kittens—I provide thoughtful, dependable drop-in visits tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I specialize in feline care, from bottle babies and socialization to senior cats needing medications or a gentle touch. I’m also confident and caring with dogs of all sizes, offering potty breaks, playtime, and calm companionship. Whether it’s a shy kitten, a rambunctious pup, or a senior needing extra TLC, I make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you're away. As a full-time RN, I work three days a week on a set schedule, which gives me four full days each week to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m fully available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits. On workdays, I can often accommodate early morning and evening visits depending on your location. My nursing background means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and experienced in caring for others—human or furry! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities during every visit. I follow your instructions carefully to keep routines consistent—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite toys. I always double-check doors, gates, and litter boxes, and I’m happy to send updates and photos for peace of mind. With experience fostering young kittens and caring for pets with medical needs, I’m confident handling a variety of situations calmly and responsibly. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets—clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.
“First time using Lee’s services and she did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She provided twice a day visits in a timely fashion - adjusting the times to fit in with our cat’s daily schedule. In addition Lee sent us daily updates, pictures and left our home tidy. I highly recommend Lee and will use her services again.”

“Shawn and Bethany took great care of our two kittens over the Thanksgiving holiday week. They provided updates and photos so we could stay connected to their experience, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When it was time to pick up our kittens, Bethany had them, and their essentials, ready to go. Thank you for the great experience. We will use them again in the future and highly recommend their service.”

Over 1 pet parents in Hawthorne have booked cat sitting
Hawthorne cat parents share their Rover experiences
Lydia was absolutely outstanding. I was very concerned about leaving my senior special needs cat with anyone. My cat needs injections twice daily and multiple feedings. I spoke with numerous potential sitters, but none of them seemed to be a good match or wasn't able to administer injections. Then, I found Lydia. She was quick to respond and volunteered to come to the house so I can introduce her to Maybelle. Maybelle took to Lydia immediately and Lydia was very gentle and affectionate with Maybelle. She also gave her an injection with no problem. Lydia kept me up to date daily with comment and pictures. She even brought my outside plants in since I was gone during Hurricane Helene. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She is conscientious and responsible. She is my go to sitter from now on.
