About: I am a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who is passionate about providing pets with love, attention, and quality care. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can assist with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care as instructed, and maintaining daily routines. My goal is to treat every dog with patience, kindness, and affection, just as I would my own, while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are in good hands. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom of a 9 year old girl who’s in school and 4 year old cockapoo who spend her days sleep on the couch and sunbathing in the backyard. My schedule and weekly routine is wide open! All pets have total free range at my home. I have a fenced in backyard and doggy door so that they can come in and out as they pleased. I provide loving, attentive, and dependable care for every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel at ease and build trust with them. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give their owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands.

About: As a dedicated pet lover, I understand that your pets are not just animals—they are cherished family members who deserve the highest level of love, safety, and respect. My approach to pet care is rooted in reliability, strict adherence to your established routines, and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior. Whether it is maintaining a precise feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing the focused exercise and mental stimulation your pet needs to thrive, I treat every animal in my care with the same vigilance and affection as if they were my own. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind, knowing that your companion is in safe, attentive, and deeply caring hands. I work a full time job, however I am available from Monday to Friday after 5pm and most weekends all day. I'm currently working full time, however, I have cameras at home to monitor your pets and I can provide early morning walks and afternoon walks as well. Most weekends I am available all day. I have a fenced front yard, as well as a fenced backyard. Outside cameras and indoor camera to monitor your pet. No other animals in the home. 2 adults in the home. Complete attention for your pet.

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. We treat every dog like part of the family and are happy to follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, walks, and any little habits that make them feel comfortable. We’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how your baby is doing. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having company, we’re happy to adapt to their personality. We’d love to be your dog’s home away from home. 🤍🐶 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and can provide full attention to your dog! Walk them, feed them or even groom them. I have a super friendly dog ( Margot) and we have plenty of space in the house with lots of toys. The neighborhood is safe and we have plenty of parks nearby.

About: I grew up with a dog (a Springer spaniel named Curly) and my family is dog obsessed. I regularly watch my sisters dog when she is out of town. I do the same for my parents! I am an entrepreneur with a very flexible schedule. I work from my apartment and have very few meetings, and love to fill my free time with adorable pups! I always respect the owners home and possessions — I’m a quiet guest and mostly read or watch tv when I’m not walking or playing with the dog. The dog is always the number one priority and I adjust my schedule accordingly.

About: I have been working with dogs for on and off for 13 years. I love all animals and go above and beyond for all of them. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking and would love to take your dogs with me. If your dog is not able to walk, run, or hike then I would not mind hanging with them in the yard. I also spoil any dog I am around with treats and all the toys I can (as long as it is ok with the owners of course). If you have any more questions about me please do not hesitate to ask me, I am very open and I truly do not know what else to say here. I'm currently working full time at a personal injury firm in Paramus but can take care of your puppies before and after work and on the weekends if need be. I can't have pets in my apt, I am very sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. But I can always come to you and your animals.

About: At our home we can provide exceptional care for your pet. My husband and I really enjoy the many different breeds and personalities of our guests. We will give them the best care that they're used to, so you won't have to worry while you are away from them. I will send you daily texts, pictures and updates so you can see that your dog is being well-cared for. We live in a single-family home with a fenced-in yard and have a pretty relaxed style in taking care of your pet. Please take a moment to read my reviews and you will see how our former "guests" enjoyed their stay at our home. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend in the future. My husband and I are retired. We are home most of the day and we spend time with our "guests" to make sure they have a wonderful stay without a lot of anxiety being away from their homes. They are well taken care of and treated like one of the family. We have a fenced in yard and our "guests" enjoy being outside with us. We will play with your pet if they have a ball or favorite toy and enjoy that type of activity. Water is provided at all times.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hawthorne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hawthorne is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $32 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 26,933 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
