“Becky kindly stopped in to take care of our two silly doodles while we were out for the night. She was on time, and left us an update, some cute photos, and two happy dogs when we returned! Thank you.”
About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.
“Jennifer has been our cat caretaker for a couple of long trips and we couldn’t be happier with her support and care. Our two cats have differing personalities and she is able to get on their level giving them time to warm up and become friends. You’ll come back to a clean home and happy pets. We know our pets are in good hands when with Jennifer!”
“I was so happy Abhi was around to check in on my cat, Binx while I was on vacation! Tons of pictures and details about his visits and even gave me an awesome recommendation for a brush for my long-haired boy :)”
“Valerie was great! She came for a meet and greet as this was my first time using Rover. I felt way more comfortable than boarding her. Will definitely use Valerie again!”
“Grace has been a tremendous help with taking care of Bianca. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating. We feel very fortunate to have found someone as kind, caring, and trustworthy as Grace. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
“Tara is always so kind, competent and thorough. We feel very lucky to have found her and we totally trust her with our lovely tuxedo cat, who is always in great hands when Tara comes around! 5 out of 5 stars!”
“Margaret was exceptional - she watched our two cats over this past week and was so caring and attentive to both of them. We have two cats with different personalities/needs, and she immediately tuned into both of them and was able to bond with both (not an easy feat!). We are very grateful to have had such a responsible, reliable, and caring sitter for our two fur-babies and would highly recommend her services.”
“Corrine is meticulous and adhered to all the instructions that I left for my cat. All the photos that she took showed how happy my cat was. I would 100% recommend her to other people. Thank you so much Corrine!”
About: Surrounded by doggy siblings growing up and now as an auntie to my nieces and nephews, I love to care for your furry children! Your pets will be in great hands. I currently work in a hybrid schedule at my 9-5. I enjoy caring for doggy friends on the weekends and before and after work when needed. I am constantly on top of making sure pets feel at home and comfortable in a new space. I will also make sure pets feel safe and loved when in their own space.
About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
“Marta took great care of Misty!! (And cleaned up some unexpected messes too!) Misty was happy and well fed when we returned! Looking forward to booking with her in the future :)”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own, including one with a heart condition, so I’m very comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. Giving medication twice a day is already part of my daily life, and I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are. I also regularly care for my neighbor’s dog, who requires medication, as well as my sister’s cats, dogs, and rabbits. Through this experience, I’ve become confident handling pets with a wide range of needs, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or specialized care, I’m someone who will treat them like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I am available anytime before 7:00 am and anytime after 4:00 M-F. I am flexible during the weekends and can be available all day. I have an apartment in walkable Sleepy Hollow that is scattered with parks for you pets to explore. Additionally, I have friendly cats to help exercise and engaged your pets during the day.
About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and former dog mom to my sweet girl, Princess, for 13.5 amazing years. From daily walks to medication routines, I’ve handled it all with love and care. Whether your fur baby needs a snuggle buddy, a midday walk, or someone to keep an eye on them while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and have my own vehicle, so I’m reliable and flexible when it comes to pick-ups, drop-offs, or emergency needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! Pet care fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I have a flexible schedule, my own car, and I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the block, or a weekend stay, I make the time because I truly love being around animals. After 13.5 years with my own dog, it just feels natural to keep giving that kind of love and care to other pets. I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. I'm also more than happy to pet sit in your own home if that's what you prefer.
“Elena was a great pet sitter, I absolutely loved her! She took care of everything my cat needed and that we agreed. She took the time to get to know him and the attention was all focused on him. It was the best sitter I had so far. Definitely booking again! Thanks Elena, it is so great to have peace of mind even leaving the little one.”
About: My family has had big dogs our entire lives so I learned to take care of them from a young age. I love all kinds of animals! I work from home with a very flexible schedule so I can generally make most times work :) Happy to work around any schedule if needed! It’s definitely a priority to keep your dogs safe during a walk or a visit - my full focus and attention is on them 100% of the time!
“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”
About: For almost all of my life I have had either beloved cats or dogs. I can do long walks or cat playtime. I am also an animal advocate. My small dog with a big friendly personality, who recently passed at age 14, was epileptic and I kept her close. We were besties. I got to spend a lot of time with other dogs with her. Before that I always had cats, I get them, and I find them all cute and hilarious. I have a flexible schedule, mornings are best, right now Mon-wed.. Can take a long walk or just hang out with your animal. Weekends are great. I live in Somers and work part time in Pleasantville. So anywhere in between is great. Will not be caring for dogs in my home at this time, unless very small/tiny and quiet. I can come to your house happy to travel if for a longer stay.
“Doris was great! Very professional and experienced, and kept us updated throughout her check-in/walk. We felt very comfortable having Olive in her care, and we look forward to her looking after Olive again in the future!”

Jennifer saved our trip by accepting a last-minute booking to take care of our two rescues (a friendly dog and cat) - and took great care of both of them. We appreciate that she took the time to stay extra time with both of them during her visits. Would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,594 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
