Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in South Meadows, Hartford, CT

“Raquel did a wonderful job with our 4 dogs with each having a different personality. Went above and beyond to make sure the pups were taking care of and addressing any concerns that I had. Would highly recommend to new and frequent users of Rover as this is what exceptional care is.”

“Jilian took care of my 2 year old kitty cat while I was away for 3 days. She kept me up to date and sent lots of pics! She’s also very responsive and I can tell that she cares a lot about the fur babies and her job. I will definitely be booking Jilian again!”

“Elana was so good with our pups. She was so concerned when they weren’t eating as they usually do(they get streets out when we leave) sonshe reached out to problem solve with us. We will definitely be using her again!! We felt very comfortable knowing she was visiting our pups. She also sent lots of photos❤️”

“Took excellent care of our Boxer. Definitely recommend.”

“Samantha was truly amazing. It had been our first time away in many years, as we don’t like bringing our bulldogs to kennels. When Samantha came to meet our pets they loved her immediately, it was obvious her love for animals. She was always punctual, had great communication and sent pics to us daily. We were able to actually enjoy our cruise while knowing our animals were given the best care. Samantha, thank you so much for helping me and for being so awesome. I look forward to having you watch them again.”

“I am pleased to write a recommendation for my friend who is applying for the pet sitting position. She possesses remarkable patience and has successfully cared for a variety of animals, including birds, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Her dedication to the well-being of her own pets is truly commendable. Beyond her hands-on experience, her aspiration to own a small farm in the future underscores her genuine passion for animal care. I am confident that her nurturing approach and commitment will make her an excellent fit for the responsibilities of a pet sitter.”

“Sue took care of my dogs in my home while I was working. Both dogs were elderly with special needs (one was blind). She made sure that they were fed, watered and allowed safe outside time. I had complete trust in her care for my dogs and with her having access to my home. I recommend her highly and without reservation.”

“Our call box for the building wasn’t working when Claire came for her first visit but she let us know right away and even waited around to make sure she got in. Very happy with her tenacity and for the care she took with our cats! 10/10 would book again ☺️”

“I have had the pleasure of having Alexa take care of my two dogs. One is older, blind, deaf, and has some dementia. The other is a rescue that was abused in his former life. They immediately took a liking to her and enjoy their visits with her. She is reliable and punctual and goes above and beyond making sure they are happy and comfortable. I appreciate the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“We lost our sitter last minute, but Alexis was available to stop in and check on our furry children. Katie LOVED Alexis, and everything turned out great! Super friendly, responsive, and wonderful! Thank you so much!!”

“Jeff is the definition of an animal lover. The first thing he does whenever he comes over is play with our cat. Jeff is great with both dog and cats, and he's had both as pets, so he knows exactly how to care for each animal. At home you'll find Jeff playing with his adorable black cat -- from playing fetch to making elaborate blanket forts; the two of them are inseparable. All in all, I cannot speak highly enough of Jeff as an animal caregiver :)”

About: Raised on a farm, all animals are family to me. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. Dog walker previously to the fabulous Oliver. I love all fur babies and have been told I’m a dog whisperer. I love walking and it’s a bonus to walk along with my doggo friends. I currently have a flexible schedule so I am able to provide time for your pets needs morning, afternoon or evening, with a little bit of notice I currently live with two little doggies. I am available at clients home. Can walk and sit. Can feed dogs and also give them any medication they may need. They will be in loving hands.

“I had a day trip into the city and needed someone to stop by my house to take the dogs out and be with them for a short period of time. Thankfully Joanna was able to help out and allowed me to be gone for most of the day. Nice to have someone who is responsible and can be trusted. Thanks again Joanna!”

“Arriana is one of the sweetest animal lovers I know. Her passion for helping animals is admirable, and ensures I can always trust her with my cat when I am away. She loves him like her own! I would always recommend her services to anyone (even my own clients as a fellow Rover sitter!)”

“We wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of our dogs. Amanda goes above and beyond. Our dogs really love her and get so excited when they find out they’re going for a visit.”

“Samantha was great! Very communicative and sent great photos and updates after each visit, will definitely use her again.”

“Billy is a kind, gentle, person who has been around pets since he was a small child. As is the case with people whom he meets, animals seems to sense his kindness and warm up to him quickly. He is dependable, gentle, compassionate, timely, and very detail oriented. I trust him implicitly with my pet and can recommend him without reservation. Any pet would be lucky to have Billy as a friend and caregiver.”

About: Besides taking care of my own pup, I have taken care of dogs of many different breeds and sizes my whole life. I recently started charging for it, thus the experience of 1 year on my profile. I am truly a dog lover at heart and am trusted by many to take care of their babies! I am currently a college student, but this becomes my full time job over the summer! I can start sitting and walking as early as May! I have a large yard for dogs to play, and can easily crate if necessary. My pup is very friendly if your dog is staying with me, but I am very flexible and can come to your home as needed.

“Mariana has cared for my pet every time I go on vacation. She takes care of him as if he was her own dog. Takes him to the park, get his pup cups and sends lots of videos and pictures to reassured you that your pet is doing well. She is very responsible with his feeding time and potty time. Mariana also makes sure that I come back to a well groomed dog. She is just the absolute best!”

“Naijah is a wonderful sitter! She did a great job taking care of my cat. Her check-ins were thorough with lots of pictures and feedback, and she’s very responsive. My cat usually gets mad at me when I leave him with a sitter, but not this time! I highly recommend Naijah!”
