“Kevin and his family are super great with our pup! This was the second time she stayed with him. He made sure she felt more comfortable as she gets a bit homesick. We will definitely ask him to take care of her again. Highly recommended!”
“Isael was so awesome! He was extremely calm with our rambunctious aussiedoodle, took her on runs daily, and sent so many pictures. She came home happy and exhausted. He was also super flexible with timing, which was very appreciated.”
“First time boarding with Randi and it was an incredibly smooth experience. Randi is extremely flexible and was a life saver for when we were away on a multi city driving trip. We were watching the weather in case we needed to abandon our plans and come back home mid trip. Randi was extremely flexible and accommodating and I am so grateful for that. Our dog is a picky eater and is also on some tricky meds…and Randi kept in touch with regular updates. She persevered with attempts to get her to eat both food and meds, until our dog did finally start to eat! Our dog came home happy and healthy! We will definitely board with Randi again!”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”
“We trusted Rafaelina with our Shih Tzu Skoshi for a week while traveling quite far away. Communication was great, everything went smoothly, and Skoshi was in good spirits. Even cleaned all the bowls--great attention to detail. Thank you very much!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our very fussy dog. She was incredibly patient and loving with him. As we were gone for almost ten days it was nice to get daily updates and see how well he was doing. We would use Jennifer again in a heartbeat.”

“Saiad was a trustworthy and reliable sitter during Max's stay. Max can be an insecure dog, but Saiad made sure he felt comfortable and well cared for throughout his visit. He followed all of our instructions, accommodated a meet-and-greet beforehand, and made sure Max had a great time playing fetch and enjoying his stay. Would love to book with him again!”
“Charmaine was wonderful with Oliver while we were gone! She loves animals and he was in the best hands during our trip, the pictures and videos were very welcomed as well! Book with confidence”
“This is Allie’s third stay with Luz and Michelle. The moment we pulled up, Allie started to squeal and couldn’t wait to see them. She LOVES being with them — and with their regular texts and photos, I always know how happy and well cared for Allie is. She is always clean and in great shape when I pick her up. I drive 11 hours each way to leave Allie with Luz and Michelle because they are so wonderful!! Allie and I are so grateful for them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Lulu loves staying with Samantha- she is treated like a queen!! Samantha sends pics throughout the stay and is always responsive. Lulu is always excited to have her sleepovers at Samantha’s.”
About: Fun and safe care for your Pet! Thank you for visiting my page! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog owner. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important safety and trust are — they are always my top priority. Your dog will receive lots of attention, affection, and care while staying with me. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing, and simply making them feel comfortable and relaxed. I always try to follow each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe and happy while their family is away. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing. Sometimes, just for fun, I practice little games or simple commands with dogs and take cute photos of them during their stay. I’m currently a full-time mom, which gives me the flexibility to give dogs plenty of attention during the day. Our home is calm, safe, and full of love for animals. Your dog will be treated like family here. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I am a stay-at-home mom, with plenty of time to take care of pets. I am available weekdays and weekends. I have a 9-year-old daughter who loves animals as much as I do. I have a large backyard and a pet friendly home. I live in walking distance to hiking trails where I regularly take my dog for walks.
“We had an excellent experience with Michael from Rover. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding communication by ensuring we brought all the necessary supplies and asking thoughtful questions about our three furbabies' care. He was always responsive and replied to our messages promptly, giving us confidence that our pets were in great hands. During their stay, Michael went above and beyond by sending us daily updates with pictures and messages, which gave both my fiancé and me peace of mind. He also carefully followed all of our care instructions, including cleaning our pets' eyes as requested, showing genuine attention to detail and compassion for their well-being. It was clear that Michael truly cared for our three furbabies and treated them as if they were his own. We greatly appreciated his professionalism, reliability, and dedication. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we would not hesitate to book with him again.”
About: I am very loving and attentive. Dogs who stay with me are taken out for walks multiple times a day! I have experience in giving medication and taking care of elderly cats. I’m currently a student so I have a lot of availability throughout the day since my classes aren’t taxing. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate. I live in an apartment in the center of Madison. The Medonta lake is right across from me along with some parks. I am usually at home so I can accommodate with every pet.
“Joe, the dog-whisperer, did a great job for us. We had used him a couple of times for a night or two and we were going on a two-week cruise. We had him stay at the house with Barry, our beagle. He located himself in our finished basement suite, brought his own provisions and was very respectful of our house. He got Barry to fetch and was working on "paw" with him. We got great updates while we were away. He and Barry got along great.”
“Laura was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and took great care of our dog! From the moment we met her for a pre-stay visit, we knew that she was very mature, loving and responsible. While we were away, she was responsive and kept us updated the whole time. We were gone over Thanksgiving, and she asked if she could include our dog in her families plans and we were thrilled that Huckie had such a warm welcome! We would definitely use Laura again!”
“Thanks for another great stay for Teddy! He feels so welcome and loved in your home, it has become his second home! He truly loves being with your family and we love being able to travel knowing he is so well taken care of!”

There are dog-sitters and then there’s Jane. Her love for all animals shines through and we’ve never felt more at ease leaving Kaya with a sitter than we have with Jane. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who wants regular updates, a loving home, and a caring spirit. Thank you, Jane!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hawthorne can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hawthorne home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hawthorne.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
You and your Hawthorne sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
