About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.

About: Apart from having pets of my own, I've cared for several pets while their owners were away. I absolutely love befriending new animals. I walk dogs in my neighborhood quite frequently. I'm capable of handling animals of all sizes and I'm open to handling dogs who aren't so friendly. Pet care for me is a part time job so I have a lot of time to care for your furry friends! I'm very flexible with my time, so most times work for me. I have fully functioning air conditioning in all rooms in my house, so your pets will never suffer any heat detriment. I also have a friendly dog named popcorn to keep your dog company. I also have a small dog pool if your dog is a water lover as well.

About: I started walking dogs when I was 15, two dogs every night and ended up knowing half the complex’s pets by name. Ten years of that teaches you a lot. Every dog is different and that’s genuinely my favorite part. Some are anxious and just need patience and consistency to come out of their shell. Some stop to sniff everything on the sidewalk and I let them take their time. It’s their walk. I’m easy to work with, I communicate well, and I take the dogs in my care seriously. I’m available weekdays and I prefer recurring schedules because dogs do better with routine, and so do their owners. If you’re looking for someone reliable who’s actually going to pay attention to your dog, I’d love to help. Weekdays, daytime. I’m happy to set up a recurring schedule and honestly prefer it. Dogs thrive on routine and it makes things easier for everyone. I pay attention. On every walk I’m aware of what’s around us, how your dog is feeling, and what they need in that moment. My goal is simple: bring your dog home happy and give you one less thing to worry about.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and grew up around animal shelters thanks to my sister, who is a veterinarian. I'm very active, play sports, and love walking, so I'm happy to keep up with dogs of any energy level. I treat every pet like they're my own and always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. With school out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available throughout the week and can easily accommodate your dog's routine and walking needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, extra exercise, or regular visits, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I believe great pet care goes beyond just the walk itself. I take the time to make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, hydrated, and ready for our outing. I pay attention to their individual needs, whether that's extra playtime, a slower pace, or lots of exercise. I also help keep their space clean and comfortable so both pets and owners can feel at ease knowing they're in good hands.

Lorenzo did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Lacey! He came over for a few hours, took her on a nice walk, played with her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the entire time. It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!

About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals since I was a little boy and I've never stopped loving them since! I've had 9 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life with my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I volunteered all 4 years during high school at animal shelters to care for stray/abandoned cats and dogs. All animals bring so much joy to my heart, although I don't have kids of my own yet - I care for all animals as if they were my own children. If your furry friend needs a little TLC grooming or medication, I am more than happy to ensure they are on schedule. I have a private home in Bayside, if needed more space it can be utilized (w/ fenced yard). Please message me to arrange any bookings, I always do my best to be flexible with all my clients. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I grew up managing large horse farms, where I was responsible for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to, of course, dogs and cats. This hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the level of care each pet deserves. I was also a competitive equestrian for 18 years, and my dogs were always right there by my side, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Today, I have a 7-month-old Labrador, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training consistency, and lots of playtime! Whether your pet needs long walks, structured care, or just some extra love and attention, I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home creating a flexible schedule.

About: Im here to care for the elderly dogs and disabled dogs who can’t be left home alone and need ample 1:1 attention. I have cared for many senior animals, and know how complex it can be to tend to their changing needs in their golden and twilight years. Have you been worried about leaving your dog home alone while you go out for appointments, errands and social commitments? Are you stressed and need a break from caregiving to tend to our own self care? I’ll stay with your beloved canine family member making sure they are cared for and comfortable when you need to be elsewhere. I currently have availability most days in my schedule as long as i know ahead of time! I’m happy to structure your dog’s need and routines into my own schedule. I offer drop in visits and daytime and evening dog sitting in your home. I am able to bring your dog outside to get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors in your yard. If your home has stairs and your dog needs to be carried, we will discuss safety. On a case by case basis I may be able to take your small dog for a short walk up and down the block, or in the stroller if they use one. My animal clients are elderly and or disabled and typically stay home. Regarding feeding, I do not handle raw meat or pork products. We will work together to meet your dog’s individual needs and customize their care! Size of dog, distance, length and number of visits per day are all on a case by case basis.

Michael and Alyssa were great with my dogs, Tokyo and Milan. They followed everything exactly how I asked, which I really appreciated. It made me feel a lot more comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Tokyo and Milan were well taken care of, stayed on their normal routine, and seemed really happy. I also liked getting updates while I was away , it helped me relax knowing everything was going smoothly. I’d definitely trust Michael and Alyssa again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and attentive dog sitters.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hawthorne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hawthorne on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 24,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hawthorne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hawthorne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Hawthorne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
