Top rated Hawthorne pet boarders

“Jocelyn took fantastic care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation. She was communicative and sent lots of videos and pictures. Our dog loved the amount of attention and exercise she got.”


“Rafaelina and her family have created a dog utopia! Their large backyard is basically an obstacle course for pets. They are very kind people and know what they are doing, how to treat dogs with unique personalities, and how to make all pets comfortable. Our pet had his first 'staycation' with Rafaelina over the weekend and it seems he had a great time.”


“Sunny was a wonderful dog sitter! She was friendly and attentive. She made our family feel comfortable leaving our 15 year old dog when we were away on vacation. She communicated daily sending updates and pictures. We can tell Caesar had a great time. Thank you Sunny for taking such good care of our dog. We will definitely use Sunny again in the future!”


“Kara is a dream come true. Lovely, funny and so conscientious. With every visit to my home, she texted me updates about my fur babies. She also did me a huge favor when asked and I was so grateful for her kindness. She went the extra mile leaving everything in order and super clean. Alfie, Louis and I can't wait to welcome Kara and her sweet daughter, Mia back for another kitting sitting gig. Xoxo”



“We boarded our 8 years old foxhound twice with Farva so far. Zillow came back home happy and well rested. We are so grateful we found Farva. We will definately book again next time we are out of town.”


“I had a fantastic experience with Andrew while he watched my dog for the week. Andrew truly cares about the dogs he looks after. He was very considerate of our dog’s needs and extremely responsible throughout her stay. She got in plenty of walking time, which she loves. It was great to hear how well she got along with his dogs and he sent picture everyday and kept us informed of her experience. It made me feel more at ease knowing she was in such a comfortable and friendly environment. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”


“Coralie is a LOVELY human being all around with a beautiful home and yard! Our dog had a wonderful 2 week staycation and we were updated daily. ❤️”


“We left our frenchie, Hamlet, with Shane for the weekend. As soon as we arrived he happily greeted our pup and Hamlet instantly followed him off into the house (often with strangers he’s much more skeptical and will put the brakes on). During the stay, Shane was responsive to my many texts for updates and sent lots of photos. Would book him again without hesitation!”


“My dog Nala had the best time ever with Richard! I got constant updates, photos and videos! He was so great with her and when I went to pick her up it was almost like she didn’t want to leave! Overall great experience with Richard and I will definitely be booking with him again in the near future!!”



“Laura was awesome. She was communicative and thoughtful. Left my pup overnight with her. Being that it was our first time, We were of course nervous. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. My pup now stops on her street corner waiting to go to her house <3”


“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!”


“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”


“We are so thankful to Thandi for the great care she provided to our cat, Onyx. She is THE dependable, reliable and kind cat-carer we were looking for. Onyx's strict diet was maintained, his meds were administered, he was entertained and generally showered with love. No wonder he liked his stay and turned his back on us for a couple of hours once back home. Thandi was gracious with our late pick-up and both handovers were seamless. Knowing that your pet is in great hands makes any trip way less stressful. Looking forward to booking with Thandi again!”


“Ashley was such a wonderful sitter for Louie and Henry. Both dogs felt instantly at home with her lovely family and in her welcoming house. She has a fantastic yard for pups to run around in, which our dogs loved, and there was always an adult home to keep an eye on things, which was important to us. Ashley was extremely communicative, responsive, and responsible - she asked lots of questions ahead of the stay to make sure she knew all there was to know about Louie and Henry. She is kind as can be and we would recommend her to any other dog owner!”



“I am loathe to spread the word about this great host, but Jennifer, James, and Seamus were the perfect caregivers for our dog Evelyn. We met the crew the night before and were very comfortable because of the knowledge that Jennifer had about dog behavior. She watched our dog closely to see how she would interact with Seamus and handled both dogs really well. Seamus was very interested in our dog, Evelyn. After a little bit Seamus and Evelyn calmed down and it became clear that they would become good compatriots in their adventures around Brooklyn. When we dropped Evelyn off first thing in the morning, James appeared to be baking dog treats. Let me repeat that, the dog sitter appeared to be baking dog treats when we dropped our dog off. They were undoubtedly organic. Our New York cynicism was demolished by the hospitality that they showed Evelyn. Jennifer sent us numerous pictures of their exploits. Upon return we picked Evelyn up and she looked completely at home in their house. She wouldn't have wanted to leave except for the fact that she knew that doorman would give her a treat on the way out the door. When Evelyn got back to our apartment she looked totally comfortable and tired from a great weekend with Jennifer, James & Seamus. I would highly recommend this host.”

“I’m truly grateful that I met Luz & Michelle here. They are genuinely kind and caring. They really earned my trust right away during our meet & greet. I had to go on vacation and I had nothing to worry about my precious dog because I knew she’s in good hands. They’re very nice and accommodating. I’m so glad I went here on Rover and thought of going for a pet sitter than taking my dog to a pet resort wherein she’d only be in a kennel most of the day and night. Monsé is happy to be home now but i just know she had a great time with them. Thank you so much!❤️”


“Tima and her family are the absolute best when it comes to taking care of your dogs needs! My pup is high energy and can be very anxious, so finding someone who would take the time out to learn her quirks was super important to me. Tima was super nice and took care of my dog (Marley) as if she was her own and you can tell the love her and her family has for all dogs. Tima’s communication was always on point and made sure to keep me updated on what was going on and when (the photos were definitely a nice bonus)! I will definitely rebook because of how much of an amazing job she did! If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog as apart of their family, run to book with Tima. I promise you will not regret it!”


“Caring kind and definitely cares for the dogs they way she does for her own A savior in a pinch 5 star with no hesitation and will use again”


About: I grew up with dogs all my like and was responsible for taking care of them too. Now I have my own little boy who I love very much. Always trusted by friends and family to care for their pets. I’ll always treat your pet like my own! I’m a mom who is home regularly and can make time for pets throughout the day. I’m also around most weekends to care for your babies. I treat everyone’s pet like my own. If a client is ok with their dog out and about I prefer it that way. If not, that is fine too. Other pets can remain in their environments or have space of their own to roam and play.
