“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.”

“This was Andrew's first time walking Buster. Everything went well! Buster is not the easiest dog, but he ate and walked, and did all of his business. I am very happy and look forward to Andrew's next visit!”


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.
About: I’ve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over five years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—including large dogs and bigger cat breeds. I’m comfortable handling active dogs, giving them plenty of exercise, and providing calm, loving care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is full-time remote but flexible, and I’m happy to work with most schedules. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I create a safe, loving environment in my own home and will be sure to do the same in yours. I follow your pet’s routines, ensure they’re comfortable, and keep them supervised during walks or playtime. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, providing calm companionship, or keeping their space clean and cozy, I always put their well-being first.
“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old (but would have started earlier if I was allowed!). I am extremely experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments as I grew up volunteering to walk and babysit dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I cared extensively for my family dog who faced many health struggles up until he passed away in 2021 at the age of 15. Just over a year ago, I got and trained a new puppy from the age of seven weeks who lives full time with my parents while I am at school. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! My schedule varies week to week, but I am extremely flexible and available! I am extremely attentive and accommodating to all needs. Due to my passion for animals and experience caring for dogs specifically, I am more than capable of prioritizing safety and individual needs depending on the environment and service provided.
About: I had my very own dog when she was born until she passed. I absolutely love animals and will treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I can make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, caring, and always follow your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. You can count on me to give your pet lots of attention—and I’ll even send photo updates so you can see how great they’re doing Currently work a full time job weekdays to provide for my daughter and I. I’m available both Saturday and Sundays after 10:30am that way I can spend time with your fur baby and love/care for them as my own. When I care for pets, whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I can make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their normal routine for meals, walks, and playtime so everything feels familiar to them. I love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and play! If I’m in a client’s home, I’m always respectful and keep things tidy. I also like to send updates and cute pictures so you can see how happy your pet is while you’re away.

I’ve also watched friends and families dogs and cats throughout the years, I figured I would extend my network further on Rover! Excited to watch your loved one next! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and available before or after my 9-5 Tuesday-Thursdays. I am lucky to be a morning person, and have my own car for ease of access.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and over the years, taking care of animals has become something I genuinely love. My family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pups while they travel, and I treat every dog like they’re family. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing a good game of fetch, or simply spending time with them, I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby at home while you’re at work, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re gone—with plenty of love, playtime, and updates along the way. 🐶💗 Your pup won’t just be “staying” with me—they’ll be getting a little vacation of their own! 🐾 I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to offer dog walks throughout the day, as well as on weekends. I love having the opportunity to step away from my workday, get some fresh air, and spend time with a furry friend! I’m able to be flexible with walk times and can work with your schedule and your pup’s routine. I’ll always treat your pup with the same care and attention I would give my own. During walks, I focus on making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding their routine, walking preferences, leash habits, and any other needs. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, safe, and stress-free experience—and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾💕
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. Through my involvement in 4-H, where I served as president of my club, I developed strong animal care skills, leadership experience, and a deep appreciation for responsible pet ownership. Growing up, I regularly helped care for family pets and spent time dog walking for neighbors. During high school and college, I provided drop-in visits for pets, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm currently a proud dog mom to my hound mix, Choco, which keeps me active and helps me stay in tune with dogs' individual needs and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a variety of animals, my reliability, and my genuine love for pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'll provide attentive care and treat them like part of my own family. Beginning this fall, I'll be a law student, but my schedule still allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I have excellent availability on weekends and am generally available in the late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I also expect to have availability for early morning visits before class and occasional drop-in visits between classes, depending on my daily schedule. Because my class schedule varies, I'm happy to communicate and work with pet parents to find times that fit their needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll do my best to provide flexible, dependable care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. As the owner of an anxious dog, Choco, I know that every pet has different needs and that changes in routine can sometimes be stressful. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and at ease. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure and by keeping a watchful eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for every pet by being patient, attentive, and respectful of their boundaries. Whether a pet is energetic and social or shy and anxious, I'll provide compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and genuine love for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s managing leash training, administering medications, or just giving your pup a consistent, loving routine while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and pets a safe, happy experience every time. I work a regular 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday. So I am available afternoons, weekends and holidays. I am available to work with your schedule. I have a court yard. I have a dog seat in my car to take them to a local park. There are a few dog friendly parks in the area.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hawthorne is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 Hawthorne. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hawthorne after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
