“Christina and Nick watched our large Rottweiler for 6 days. Christina provided very helpful and detailed updates multiple times per day. Meet and greet, pick up, and drop off were all agreed upon and followed. Wonderful hosts - thank you!”
“I wanted to say thank you to Elizabeth and her family for taking such good care of 9. Initially, it was difficult to find someone that our family felt comfortable with in caring for our dog. Once we met Elizabeth, we knew it would be a GREAT fit. Thank you again, and you don't know how much we truly appreciate your level of care.”
“I highly recommend Kelly! My dog was visibly happier to stay with Kelly compared to other previous boarding facilities we have used in the area where he was left isolated for long periods of time. If you have a doodle, they won't be alone.”
“This is the first time I leave my fur baby with Ms. Katherine. My fur baby had the best time and was well cared for. I received picture and video updates throughout the day. I highly recommend and plan to use again. 😊🩵”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Hands down the best person we’ve ever dealt with! She is so sweet and attentive. Has taken such good care of our Teddy and has updated us along the way with so many pictures. Can’t recommend her enough. This is the only person we will ever deal with going forward.”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“At first I was very skeptical dropping off my dog with special accommodations with a sitter, but Zuleyka made sure my baby was fed and treated right the whole time, and updated us periodically with videos and updates. I will definitely bring my dog back once I need a sitter again.”
“Geoff and Jenny were absolutely amazing with Lady. They understood it was her first time boarding at someone's house and they were loving and nurturing to her. I received photos and videos every day. Lady seemed very happy when I went to pick her up and I already booked my next boarding with Geoff and Jenny. I can't recommend them enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Funda and family took such great care of Summer while we were away for a long weekend. They were super communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. Summer had the best time, especially exercising in the big backyard. We’d leave Summer with Funda and family in a heartbeat, and I know she’d be excited to hang with them again too!”
“Ann was really great with our pup. It was his first boarding experience and it went very smoothly, I can tell my dog was happy and would have no problems staying with Ann again in the future. Ann kept us updated throughout the stay and overall was very professional.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Xunzi took my 2 cats at the drop of a hat! I booked the night before I needed them out of the house for a chemical treatment there after a fire. She did not just take care of them, but also paid attention to their psychological well-being, inviting us to visit them and slowly introduced them to her pets. She played with them and showered them with treats and food, replacing the inadequate one I had brought. A gem!”
“Hey everybody quick review, Mariana did a phenomenal job with Thor , i have a big dog but they way she treated him he became a big baby around her she gave so much affection and attention to him it was incredible she updates you with pics n videos it was perfect”
“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”

We had a great experience with Evelyn! My girlfriend and I met Evelyn and her husband for a meet and greet a few days before the booking, and we were immediately impressed by their beautiful, dog-friendly home and backyard. We also got to meet their sweet dog, Mango, who is a friendly boy and they played all day. The booking itself went smoothly, and Evelyn was fantastic about providing constant updates and photos throughout Gigi’s stay. It was clear that Gigi was being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We would happily book with her again!
Kun and Jinny were amazing with our maltipoo and cavapoo! We were very comfortable leaving our two dogs under their care, and communication was excellent with frequent updates. Our maltipoo can be sensitive around new people but he was comfortable, well rested and had a great time playing with their dog Som :) I highly recommend and will be booking with them again in the future. Thank you Kun and Jinny!
Florence was amazing with Enzo! She kept me updated throughout his stay, sent me pictures, and took such great care of him. I felt very comfortable knowing Enzo was in good hands while I was away. He seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with Florence again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾
We left Reggie in Ankita’s care for two weeks while we were abroad. Since then, she’s also been helping us with doggy daycare. She kept us updated throughout the trip, sending regular snaps and videos that really helped ease our nerves. Ankita is an excellent communicator—she’s very careful with the puppies and respectful toward their parents. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy daycare or boarding. Thank you so much, Ankita!
We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.
Laura and Kevin were a great fit for my dog. They spent lots of time outdoors which is her favorite place to be. She's an older dog and not use to staying with people she doesn't know. On top of that, she was having intestinal issues and they still happily took her. They kept us updated with lots of check ins and pictures. We will definitely choose them again!
Yeisa is the best and so sweet! Unfortunately while I was away on my birthday trip in Dominican Republic, my other sitter had mentioned she couldn’t take care of Moki. Yeisa being my life saver went and picked up Moki in less than a two hour notice and has treated my dog with the upmost respect. God bless you Yeisa! No issues whatsoever, and she will cater to your dog and its needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hawthorne is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $67 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 of October 2026, there are 13,678 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hawthorne can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hawthorne home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hawthorne.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hawthorne sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
