About: I have had experience with dogs of all breeds since I was 16 years old when I worked as a kennel tech! I was also a volunteer at the Human Society and mostly worked in the cat room - spending time and cuddles and cleaning their living area. I know that the care of your pet is the most important thing to feel secure about when going on vacation or out of town. In addition to years of care sitting for both cats and dogs, I volunteered in South Africa and cared for baby baboons! I know your pet is unique and I will follow all instructions given to ensure your peace of mind, your pet’s safety, and will send pictures daily! I transitioned from the corporate world to and now do this full time, so I am flexible and available at all times to keep your pet’s schedule on track! I care and respect your home just as much as I love animals. If I am in your home, I will follow all instructions as given and am happy to send as many pictures as you request during my stay. This is my full time job so making sure your pets stay on schedule is my priority! It can be overwhelming when owners leave, so maintaining their routines helps ease everyone’s anxiety! I respect your home as if it were my own! I ensure to keep areas clean and respect all areas of the house! I am also happy to do light tasks such as watering plants and brining in your mail. :)
About: My whole life I have owned dogs, so I am very confident dealing with dogs of any size/age. Additionally, I am an animal lover and will make sure you always have updates on your pet! I am currently a college student on break, so I am available at almost all times of the day! Having two dogs of my own, I am used to frequent walks and playtime. I love taking care of my dogs, whether that includes going on long walks or running around the house playing, I am always interacting and keeping them entertained.
“Victor is always great with our boys. We booked a last minute walk and appreciated that Victor was available. He communicates really well and takes beautiful photos.”
About: Long time pet parent with experience ranging from cat care to dog walking and even farm animal sitting! Happy to help you and your family take the stress out of pet care. I am available in mornings, some mid-days and evenings for walks and drop ins. My flexible work schedule allows me to be available for you and your pets' needs. Your pet will receive seamless care that keeps them happy, healthy and safe. They won't even notice you're gone! Their routine will be meticulously followed.
“Margaret has been a great walker for our German shepherd. She’s considerate and goes the extra mile! I really appreciate being able to see the walk timer and the map that comes along. Thank you dear!”
“Lorenzo was great! Very responsive, punctual, flexible with schedule, clear communicator, and my dog clearly enjoyed her time with him. I'll definitely ask him to help me out with weekly walks going forward.”
“Kerry is a gem!! My senior dog needs lots of TLC and patience (he's lost most of his vision and hearing, has trouble with stairs and occasionally gets confused), so I was nervous about bringing in someone to walk him. Kerry immediately put my fears to rest -- asked all the right questions, was wonderful with my dog, and communicated well and often during the visit. I won't hesitate to have him visit again and am relieved I found him.”
“Five stars, no question. We’ve been using Tara since November 2023 for both weekly walks and trips, and she continues to be incredible. Most recently, she took care of our dogs while we were away, and she truly went above and beyond. Our smaller dog had surgery a few weeks before this trip, so he was on leash only and needed extra care. Tara handled it all without hesitation. She gave his morning medication, did warm compresses, and followed his restrictions perfectly, on top of all the usual things. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. She came multiple times a day, from early mornings to late nights, stayed right on schedule, and kept us updated with photos and messages every visit. She’s punctual, communicative, and just genuinely kind. Our dogs adore her, and we trust her completely. We’re so lucky to have her.”
About: I’ve grown up helping care for my family dog, Cannoli, for the past 10 years, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care routines like feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. My schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m available most mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings and weekends. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each pet’s routine including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes at a pet care facility for over 2 years. I also have an animal science degree and have worked with many animals especially cats, dogs, and horses. l would love to get to know your furry friend! I’m a recent college graduate currently taking a gap year before graduate school. This means I have plenty of time to follow your schedule, and take care of your furry friends. I have experience giving pilled medications, and have also administered insulin for a diabetic dog. I can prepare raw food or kibble with any supplements or toppers you’d like. Additionally, I love to teach dogs new fun tricks and playing fetch in the yard.
“Abhilash is amazing, very calm energy. My Lola loved him from the first time they meet. Great communication and he sent me awesome pictures of my pup having a great time.”
“Brandon was wonderful with Poppy, he is calm and gentle with lots of knowledge about dog behavior. Poppy was so happy on their walk and wanted to leave with him when he left. lol I highly recommend him.”
“Shawn did such a great job with our Bo and made the most out of the 30 minutes with him! He was an excellent communicator and left us a great recap of their time together. I really appreciated the detail and care!”

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

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hawthorne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hawthorne.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hawthorne. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
