“I can’t say enough good things about Sam. He took excellent care of my two cats for nine days. Sam provided detailed notes and photos of my cats after every visit (which was twice daily). Whenever I had a question he responded promptly. I extended the length of my vacation and Sam accommodated the change without hesitation. If you’re looking for a pet sitter, look no further than Sam. He is outstanding.”

About: I have loved animals from a very young age, especially dogs. I have my own dog, Toby, a six-year-old mini goldendoodle. Because of Toby, I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety and those who are more reserved. I am reliable, observant, and caring, and I always take your beloved pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness into consideration. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full-time Monday through Friday, with the occasional Saturday, so I primarily provide pet care on weekends, when I have more flexibility and time! I treat every dog or cat with the uttermost love and are dedicated to making each encounter enjoyable for your pet! I am cautious about foods and objects which are hazardous to animals and do my best to ensure their absolute safety. Since my dog is anxious and doesn’t do well around other animals, I provide pet setting and drop-in visits in clients’ home to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pet!

Reach out for more info :) I have extensive experience with dogs, particularly as a proud owner of two German Shepherds—an 11-year-old and a lively puppy! Additionally, I have a 6-year-old cat and actively assist my sister with her foster care efforts.
About: Hi! We’re Rossy & Wilvin — a dog-loving couple who genuinely enjoy having pups around and making them feel right at home. 🐾 We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so our goal is simple: lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and a comfortable home where your pup can relax and be themselves.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorne
Stefanie was great! We went on vacation for four days and she handled our dog with love, care and discipline. We found everything neat and organized at home. She listened to our directions and communicated very well. I appreciate the photos and reports. Our lovely dog was so lucky. We highly recommend Stefanie!
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.

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.

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 .
