“Yaneira is great! She watched my kitty Sydney for over a week and did exactly what I asked for and more! I truly felt comfortable being on vacation knowing that Sydney was in Yaneira's hands. She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”

“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I got my first dog when I was seven years old, and since then, dogs have always been an important part of my family. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving to care for your pets. I will treat your dog like a member of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow their regular feeding, walking, playtime, and daily routines. I can also provide photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority! I’m a cosmetologist and correctional officer with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, playtime, and each pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable.

“She is the best and most patient sitter I have ever met. She not only did a fantastic job she helped my Dino start to get over his anxiety! Work in progress as it’s a journey and she has the patience of a saint!”

About: My love for dogs started three years ago when I met a beautiful Frenchton named Dexter. I immediately fell in love. I wanted him to be mine, but I began to care and look after him. Two years later I was fortunate enough to find a French Bulldog of my own and his name is Shado. He is my world and I could not imagine my life without him in it. I am so utterly obsessed that I already want another dog! I am eager to learn more about Shado as he gets bigger and the dogs I will be walking and looking after. Needless to say that your pet will be in great hands! I care and love for them as you would !
“We recently had Joe take care of our cat, Toby, for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was excellent. Joe sent regular updates, photos, and videos so we could see how Toby was doing each day. Toby can be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to Joe quickly, which says a lot. It was clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. The house was spotless when we returned, and everything was just as we left it. We really appreciated the attention to detail, the affection shown to Toby, and the peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Joe again for our next trip — highly recommend!”

“Melissa was amazing with our 2 cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she snapped some great photos of them too really capturing their personalities. Great communication and gave us such peace of mind while we were away from our girls for the week. Thank you again Melissa!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for nearly 19 years, and I absolutely love being around them! 🐾 I’ve raised 3 dogs - 2 from puppyhood to adulthood. Over the years I’ve had plenty of experience caring for friends’ dogs and cats, from playtime and walks to keeping them company and sticking to their usual routines. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved and safe when their people are away. Because I’ve had dogs for most of my life, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and ages. I’m patient, attentive, responsible and happy to give your pet the extra love and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member(s) and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away! I currently have a full-time office job in West Caldwell, NJ. I work until 5pm during the week, and typically available by 5:30pm during the week. Weekends are fairly open for lots of playtime with your furry family! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I know that pets feel most comfortable when they can stick to their normal routines, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime and anything else their pet needs. I love giving pets plenty of attention, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch or simply keeping them company. I’m also very attentive to their individual personalities and will give them space if they’re shy or need extra time the arm up. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their home and make sure to leave everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident to at they’re in good hands while they’re apart.
“She watched Daisy and did a fantastic job. Daisy was a little nervous at first but she worked with her and by the end of my vacation they were sitting on the backyard stairs cuddling!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs with a range of personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies who need lots of exercise to older dogs who prefer slower walks and plenty of attention. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and play routine is followed closely and keep owners updated with photos throughout their pet’s care. Punctual, gentle, patient, and dependable. Typically will be able to spend at least 30 minutes with your pet for a drop in visit and more if they need to be walked, or watched for longer. Flexible with timing. I’m currently in grad school and have a flexible schedule to provide care for your pet, whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific needs. I’m attentive to their behavior and surroundings and make sure doors, gates and other areas are secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
About: [PSA: Aug. Sept. Oct. - limited 'high energy' bookings. Sprain Recovery] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. [Daytime sits: ends before 9pm] [Night sits: flexibility for me to tend to my critters and other local recurring bookings.] Currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.
“Cooper loved Alexa ! I appreciate Alexa’s patience and following all the directions I left as I am a first time puppy parent and a bit of a helicopter parent but knowing she respected my guidelines made me feel so much better about leaving my little guy !”

“Sevinc is absolute fantastic. She was extremely attentive and friendly to my cat Arthur. I definitely felt at ease, especially with this being my cat’s first time alone overnight. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!

Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hawthorne is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $29 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hawthorne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
