Pet Boarding Hawthorne

“Sara and her home were the perfect fit for our anxious dog, Mazie. Sara is very knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and how to handle them. She successfully gave Mazie medication 3 times a day and prepared special meals for her. We received photos via text while we were away showing how happy and acclimated Mazie was there. We have already booked another stay with Sara. Thank you Sara!!!”

“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”

“Aurora was right at home during her stay and I was worry free! From the moment I met Saiad and he showed us around I knew Aurora would be in good hands. Clean and attentive- making sure to share photos and details of Aurora’s stay. It was just the safe, happy stay we required.”

“Jocelyn was a wonderful sitter for my boy Duke! She sent me pictures and videos during his stay, took great care of him, and he seemed to really enjoy his time. I will definitely be using Jocelyn again whenever I'm back in town!”

About: Hi! I'm Jenn, an animal lover based offering attentive, reliable care for your dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the patience, routines, and little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. I've cared for dogs of all sizes: feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of affection and I'm comfortable administering medications, so pets with special needs are always welcome. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, drop-in visits while you're away, or a cozy overnight stay in my apartment, I'll treat them with love and patience. You'll get timely updates, photos, and real peace of mind while you're away. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. ¡Hablo español, así que también atiendo con gusto a familias hispanohablantes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority. I'd love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a full time job during weekdays. With 3 on site office days and 2 remote days. I'm available weekdays after 5pm and weekends. In my home (boarding): I keep a clean, calm, secure apartment with no other resident pets, so your dog or cat has a quiet space and my full attention. I keep doors and windows secured, never leave a pet unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and follow the feeding, walking, and medication schedule you provide. Leashes always go on before we step outside. In your home (drop-in visits & walks): I follow your instructions exactly — feeding, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications. I respect your home, lock up carefully, and leave everything as I found it. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and stick to safe, familiar routes. For every service: I send photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe, I stay reachable throughout the booking, and I always do a free meet-and-greet first. If anything ever seems off with your pet's health or behavior, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.

“Stephanie was fantastic! Super easy to work with and was very communicative. She was kind enough to bathe our dog sunny after they went outside and had some tics. Sunny seemed to have a very good time and loved Stephanie 😊”

“I had such a wonderful experience with my first-time dog sitter Kiara! 🐾❤️ I immediately knew she was the one I wanted to care for my twin boys, and she did an amazing job taking care of them for 5 days. I would usually text her to check in, and she was always quick to respond with updates and photos of the boys. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands. The twins seemed to really like her and gradually became comfortable with her, which made me so happy! I would absolutely rebook with her again, if she’ll have us back! 😊 Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies. I truly appreciate you, and I’m sending a little tip as a token of my appreciation. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶”

“Jennifer was wonderful. Communicative and extremely flexible. Received daily pictures of our pup who was happily exhausted on pickup day. Will definitely leave Fleur there again.”

“Laura took great care of Moose, gave him lots of walks and snuggles, sent plenty of pictures, and was very responsive. We look forward to booking with her again!”

“This was an amazing experience! Our dog Max is very hyper and loves the attention of people. Lorezno assured he would take good care of our pup. While Max does enjoy playing with other dogs its great knowing Lorenzo only boards one dog at a time. Pictures were provided of the boarding space as well as daily updates. Great environment for boarding as well as a lovely neighborhood”

“I reached out to Irene to set up a meet and greet and she responded right away. I knew the moment I entered her backyard to meet her, the family and their dogs that this was the right place for our dog Zoe. They too were very excited to meet Zoe. You could tell right away that they are great care takers. After we dropped Zoe off to stay with Irene, we knew she was good hands and had no worries at all. Irene kept in touch a throughout each day and sent photos and updates on Zoe. Knowing that our dog was in good hands, we were also able to enjoy our vacation not having to worry about how our dog was doing. We knew Zoe had so much (especially playing with Irene's dogs) b/c the day after she got home we could tell that she missed being at her house. I am so happy that we found Irene and her family and a place where Zoe can have fun and be part of the pack when we need to go away. In fact, she is going back in a few days!”

“I am so happy I found Cathy! She is such a loving woman. I could not have asked for my dog to be left in better hands while I was away. Cathy truly took care of her like she was one of her own. And the entire time I was gone, Cathy sent pictures so I knew everything was going well. I would highly recommend Cathy as a pet sitter. A+++”

“Thandi took wonderful care of my family's dog while we were away for vacation. She's friendly, responsive and conscientious, and sent regular updates and pictures.”

About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.

“Wow, Karine and Ryan were such attentive caregivers for our small pup, Mikoh. We felt totally at ease leaving him with them for a week while we traveled outside the country. Karine was meticulous in caring for Mikoh, and sent multiple updates daily informing me of Mikoh's play times, eating habits, and overall wellbeing. It was also nice knowing that Mikoh was having some nice social time with other pups while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend their care for your pup, and look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you!!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Tatiana. She was easy to communicate with, and sent lots of pictures and kept our pet active and happy. Would recommend!”

“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“Maddie was a life saviour, on very short notice she took care of our dog, she updated us while she had our dog and took great care of her…I highly recommend her…”

Brenda P.

“Judy was great with my dog! She asks all the right questions before you arrive, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and really gives you the sense that your dog is in good hands. I highly recommend her!”

Tyler K.

“This was my first time leaving my dog and I was super nervous. Ann did an unbelievable job. She sent me multiple photos & updates everyday. She also answered my texts immediately. I couldn't possibly be happier with her service. If you are a bit nervous or hesitant like I was, please know that Ann will treat your dog right. I'm 100% going to use her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants assurance that their dog will be in the best hands.”
