About: I’ve personally owned dogs, cats, exotic reptiles, birds, and small mammals, with experience caring for pets ranging from kittens to elderly dogs. I love my dog and cats like they’re my own children, and they mean the world to me. My love for animals led me to volunteer at an exotic animal rescue and work professionally as a Lab Manager, caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I give my own. I am compassionate, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m hoping to fill my late mornings, afternoons, and early evenings with caring for pets and helping families with whatever pet-care services they may need. I would prefer the pet / animal to be as comfortable as possible with little to no stress. So familiar environments for them is an important factor to consider.

About: Hi! I’m a former paramedic who is currently working helping my family run our small business. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats and caring for animals (and people) has always been a part of who I am. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and I’m able to provide care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with cats and dogs that may be shy, fearful, reactive, or considered less than friendly. I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and creating a calm, safe environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, gentle care, medication support, or simply someone they can trust while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. I’m currently working with my family which allows me to have an extremely flexible and open schedule. Generally available from 8:30a.m-11p.m 7 days a week Long walks and backyard or park playtime. I am comfortable caring for pets with special medical and physical needs. I can provide basic grooming if needed for pets that will allow.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover ever since I was a little girl. I look forward to getting to know your fur baby and ❤️ them as if they were my own. I truly enjoy each and every animal I’ve ever come across. I truly believe, Dogs are man’s best friend. Thank you for giving me the chance to watch over your baby while you’re gone. Currently, I’m a stay at home mom of a little one year-old and I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I can do drop ins and daily walks the morning between 8-12 and in the afternoons 4-7pm. I will play, walk, and tenderly love and care for your fur baby while you are gone. They will always have a friend in me.

“I am so glad that I found Carolina and her family. She is a true animal lover, and it shows in how much attention and patience she had put into caring for my cat, Mochi. Carolina went far and above beyond expectations. My Mochi had a big beautiful room with a brightly quilted bunk bed to climb on and plenty of cat trees, scratching posts, and windows in which to luxuriate in the sun. He could also enjoy piped-in music throughout the day and a big flat screen TV. He was warmly welcomed into the family home, roaming freely and playing with Carolina's many pets. He loved his vacation at Carolina's as much as I had enjoyed mine! I might also mention one aspect of this Rover experience that is critical for me and should be important to consider for other pet owners. Carolina keeps her boarding spaces immaculate. Bedding, cushions, and bowls are spotlessly sanitized, and all of her pets are on a rigid flea and worm prevention program, so there is no danger of cross contamination. I am very pleased and feel that my Mochi had a five star hotel experience for a fraction of the price.”

About: I’ve spent over 18 years caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have hands-on experience with senior animals, large breeds, and animals needing medication or extra attention. My background working with horses has also strengthened my confidence in handling animals of any size and temperament with patience and care. am currently an overnight veterinary technician at a large animal hospital. My work schedule allows me plenty of daytime flexibility to provide dedicated pet care. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended visits, I’m able to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while maintaining a consistent routine. At my residence there is plentiful amounts of grass for your pet to play in. Safety and comfort are my top priorities — I can easily crate your dog if needed and follow any specific feeding or medication instructions. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable handling pets of all temperaments and ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have two German Shepherds of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for larger and energetic dogs. I understand the importance of walks, feeding schedules, playtime, patience, and lots of attention. I’ll always treat your pets with the same love, care, and respect that I give my own. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine since I have two German Shepherds of my own that I care for every day. I’m used to making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m happy to work pet sitting into my schedule and make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they need while they’re with me. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and personality and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.🐾❤️

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

I'm currently working part-time and can spend time and walk your dogs more throughout the day and week. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I've always been an animal person.

“Deborah did an amazing job with our 4-legged kids! After our initial meet and greet, we had such a good feeling about her and she did not let us down! She sent photos of our "kids" and took really good care of them. We were in regular communication but I didn't have to worry about anything! She bonded with our "kids" right away and I know they are much happier staying in their own home vs boarding. I would definitely recommend her! I would have given her 10 stars if it were available!”

Sherri was great with our cat Chloe for the drop-in visits during 9 days we were out of town. We had no worries and the daily reports and pictures really put us as ease. Would definitely ask for Sherri again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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 .

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
