“Ann is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of our dog Bingo for 6 days and treated him as part of their family. I received daily updates and pictures. Bingo enjoyed his time with Ann and her daughter. Thank you for taking good care of our little fur baby ?”

“Another great vacation for our dog Skye! She had a great time and as always Michelle was amazing! Our flights got a little messed up and she was super flexible while we figured everything out. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Excellent sitter! Amazing communication before and during Moira’s stay. Caring and compassionate towards Moira. I would recommend to everyone to use Michelle is excellent you will not be disappointed. What I loved the most is all the photos and videos sent to me. Moira. Looked happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Michelle!!!”


“The experience with Kathy was great! She was always responsive and gave us a daily update so that we didn't need to worry about how my dog was doing. Strongly recommended!”

“I wish I could give an extra star to show how wonderful my experience with Marisol and John was. It’s always scary leaving your beloved pet with someone you don’t know, but they did everything possible to make sure I felt comfortable with Rudy in their care. Communication was great, fast responses to anything I sent, and lots of updates with pictures. They very clearly treated him like he is part of their family, and it’s obvious that this isn’t just a job, that they truly care about your babies. Rudy loses weight very easily, and his feeding schedule is a bit complicated to prevent that. They did an amazing job with it though, and he came home with no weight loss and cleaner than he was when he left my house. They even gave me a little framed picture from his time with them. Rudy was very sad to leave all of his new friends behind, but he will be seeing them again for sure. I cannot recommend Marisol and John enough. Your baby will be safe and happy with them.”

“Once again, a great experience with Laura, Kevin, and their family. It’s so comforting to know that our dog is in a loving home and getting the BEST care while we are away! Thanks so much!”
“Funda is just amazing. She took good care of my furbaby even with my short notice. She made it easy for us too as we were all set with our appointment yesterday. The rover sitter I booked last week cancelled my booking at the last hour due to an untoward incident. Funda was all flexible with my need as to her availability for drop off and pick up time. Cuppy had a great time playing in her huge yard with her kids. He felt safe with them. She also sent photos and videos of Cuppy. I highly recommend Funda to be your next dog sitter. She’s just wonderful! We will request her again for our future need. Thank you so much Funda!”

“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”

“Keisy was amazing. She took very good care of my dog (Cocoa), she asked all sorts of relevant questions beforehand so that she can meet all the needs of my Cocoa. It feels like I found a perfect place because she has 2 adorable dogs and it’s like having a play date for my Cocoa. She also sent pictures and videos that brought smile on my face even while being away from him. Oh!! I have to mention, Keisy has such a beautiful place, it is very nice, clean and organized, I was super impressed :)”

“Kia took great care of our pup Winston. He was calm and behaved normally when we picked him up, indicating he was happy with the stay! Kia was kind and sent updates making us feel more comfortable as well.”

“We left our maltipoo with Moonyoung and Sunhyung for the longest we have ever left her. We were admittedly very nervous at first, but were immediately put at ease. Our dog was not doing so well with the adjustment the first few days and was having some GI problems, but they were so patient, kind, and caring with her and nursed her back to health while communicating with us the whole time. I could tell our pup was so comfortable and happy with them once she felt better- and it made my time away so much more enjoyable and relaxed. Don’t hesitate to book - they are such great and kind people!”

“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”

“At Meet & Greet, Carol (& family) were warm and showed interest in providing great care by asking relevant questions about my pup. Her home was ideal as she had no other dogs and had older kids. She sent me updates with photos (always a great thing), and we picked up a happy dog. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

“Amanda and her husband were very warm and friendly. I could tell from when I dropped my dog off that he would be in great hands. Amanda took Oliver on many walks to make sure he kept busy and had a good time. We received many pictures and never had to worry about our pup. We would definitely rebook!”

“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”

“Brittany was a superstar caregiver. She communicated regularly and clearly about her availability and then with status checks. Lola was very happy with her- she wanted to stay longer! I would definitely recommend Brittany.”

“Charlie was great. Very friendly and helpful. My Sophie (cat) isn't crazy about change but she was fine with him after a short time of adjustment. He sent me a photo to show she was doing fine and when we said we were almost there he had her ready to go & her toys & food packed up. We were very tired & just wanted to get home so this was a good thing for us. We drove from Niagara Falls to N. Jersey and were on the road for 7-8 hrs. I highly recommend Charlie.”

“Another great stay for my Stormie! A-Class service and every holiday this year I've been traveling to plan my.wedding in 2025, it's been wonderful working with you every time and we still have a few before the ceremony! 😊 💪”

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!

We couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience for Cody with Ankita. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was being welcomed into a warm and caring home. Cody had an incredible time playing with their dog and absolutely loved spending time with their 5-year-old son. What truly set this experience apart was the way Ankita and her entire family embraced Cody as one of their own. He wasn't just being watched—he was genuinely cared for, included, and loved as a member of the family. Throughout his stay, Ankita kept us updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and wonderful videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and engaged Cody was made it clear that he was receiving exceptional care and attention. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a fantastic time. We are incredibly grateful to Ankita and her family for the love and care they showed Cody. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ankita to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and truly exceptional pet sitter!!
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!

Kathy is one of the best dog sitters we've had. So lucky to have her nearby. She is very reliable and communicates well with frequent updates and photos of our corgi Nike. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a trusted sitter who will love your pup just as much as you do.

This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter and I couldn’t have been more at peace knowing she was so happy and cared for. Sydney gave regular updates throughout the day with lots of pictures. I could tell my cat was so content and had a mini vacation while I was gone which made me feel less bad for leaving her for the week. Would highly recommended Sydney to any pawrents! :)

Raymond took very good care of our elderly dog and sent us pictures every day. We were happy with Raymond's communication with us. Unfortunately, the old dog got sick and had to be picked up but none of this was Raymond's fault, just an old dog who doesn't like change in his routine.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hawthorne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 13,875 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hawthorne. About 88% of Hawthorne sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
