Shawn boarded my cat, Desi, at her home for 2 nights and 3 days. She sent me pictures each day and took excellent care of Desi.

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.

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.

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: I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel happy and secure. I believe in treating every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual personality, needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m committed to keeping you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in great hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your dog’s stay fun, relaxing, and full of love. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently retired so my schedule is very flexible around my extracurricular activities that I love to do. I love getting exercise so I enjoy going for walks with the dogs or just hanging out with them. Other days and times are available upon request and my availability. I will send a text or photo to update you after each visit to ensure your trust in me. I treat other precious fur babies just like they are my own as that is how I would want someone to treat my fur baby, Vito.

Brooke did such a great job! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so thankful I found someone who was trustworthy while I was away from home. It’s obvious how much she cares about animals and will treat yours like her own. She even brought in my packages and took photos to share on every trip to my home. She happily checked in on the fishy and took the dogs for walks which is so appreciated!

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets who may need a gentler approach and puppies who are still learning routines. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet gets personalized care, from playtime and walks to feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I’m flexible and make sure to plan my days around the pets I care for, whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening feedings. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. Consistency and reliability are important to me, so you can always count on me to show up and give your pets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets, safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions to ensure they feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their guidelines closely, maintaining their pet’s normal routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep harmful items out of reach, and pay attention to each pet’s body language to make sure they’re comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they know their pets are safe and well cared for at all times.

First time using a pet sitter for my cats, I was very nervous about it but Berkeley was the absolute perfect fit! My cats loved her immediately and she was not only punctual, communicative, professional and friendly, but also went above and beyond to care for my animals and leave me confident I had made the right choice. Will definitely be booking her for all my future vacations! ♡♡

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 for Pet Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,578 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
