House Sitting in East Hartford

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”

About: I have had pets ever since I can remember. Growing up, I had dogs, but I have also had birds, a bunny, hamsters, a snake, and many fish so animals have always been a part of my life. I pet sit frequently for friends, family, and neighbors when they are away. I, myself, have one dog (Mr. Beans - border collie/chocolate lab mix) and one cat (Moose - maine coon mix) at home. I work full time in childcare. I typically work Monday - Friday from 6:30am to 2:30pm. Just send me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard that my dog enjoys running around and playing in. While pet sitting at your house, I will follow any rules that you have for your pets to make sure they have a stress free environment and stick to their routine.

“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”

“10 Stars! Annie took care of our 3 dogs and our house while we were overseas for 2 weeks and did an exceptional job. She is a natural dog sitter and they absolutely loved her. She walked them and sent us updates every day. And she did a terrific job taking care of our house, too! We will be hiring her again in the future.”

“Elena was very communicative while we were away, and we received many videos and pictures of our pups daily. When we came home, both dogs were happy and clearly had been well cared for! We would definitely use Elena again - she was kind, courteous, and is obviously very experienced in caring for dogs.”

“Joshua was great. He didn't have an easy task taking care of three big dogs, but they got along perfectly. Joshua sent pictures and videos and the dogs were nice and tired when we got home. And the house was in great shape. We've already booked him again!”

“Feeling certain that I have found a perfect solution to my dog care needs. I’ve been working with Rebecca for a little more than a month. She has done a number of walks with Odin and built such a trusting rapport with him. This past weekend, she watched him while at my house while I traveled. There was constant communication throughout and it appeared that Odin was very much taken care of and spoiled all weekend. I also felt that Rebecca respected my home - which meant a lot to me. Everything was as clean (or cleaner) than I left it. That meant a lot to me. I can only give my highest recommendation for Rebecca. If you’re considering it, contact her. It’s the right decision and she is the right person. Thank you again, Rebecca!”

“This was the first time that I used a pet/house sitter for my dog and 2 cats. Alyssa came over for a meet and greet, and then again to go over details. This worked out really well with my pets having seen her twice before I left. She definitely put my mind at ease so I was able to have a relaxing get away. They all received plenty of attention in their own home. I will definitely be booking Alyssa again!”

“Palma was a wonderful sitter for our Scottie, Pepper! Pepper immediately befriended Palma when she came to meet us, and we could tell Palma was enjoying playing with Pepper. We felt very comfortable leaving Pepper in her hands. While we were away, Palma was very communicative and sent photos of Pepper for us (which I love because I always miss her). She left our house in pristine condition! I highly recommend Palma.”

“Sophia is absolutely wonderful and our pups love her! We booked several times with her and would definitely do so again. She took wonderful care of our pets and home.”

“Ana was fantastic - great communicationand the dogs were very happy to have her. We will absolutely be asking her back. Thank you!”

“Alyanna was available to watch our dog when we made last minute plans and needed to be away overnight. She was wonderful with Maisie. She checked in upon her arrival and sent pictures and kept us updated on how Maisie was doing. We’d highly recommend Alyanna and have already asked her to watch Maisie in a few weeks.”

“Jarrett was great! He stayed for 3 days at my house watching my dog and 2 cats. He sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, and promptly answered any messages I sent him. He left the house in the same condition I left it in and did not make or leave any messes, in fact he cleaned a few while I was gone. 10/10, will definitely be booking him again. :)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.

“Detail oriented, thorough, kind, excellent planning and foresight, just awesome! This was my first Rover experience at the time of my booking I had an elderly dog and three cats, we had not gone on vacation in years due to our dog having arthritis and other health issues, but we had gotten her to a point where she was doing really well and we felt we could leave her with someone. I needed someone who could administer meds, live at the house and be otherwise highly attentive to her needs and our cats. I had about given up on some of the people I’d spoken with on Rover, I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone. Enter Jillian. In our initial texts I got a very positive vibe and immediately liked her. We hadn’t even met yet but I could tell she was a gem. When she came to the house to meet our pets she was aces and again I instinctively knew she was going to be great. Since our meeting our dog very suddenly passed away and when I let Jillian know her response was compassionate and she gave me some time to figure out what we would do. When we spoke again we decided on two visits a day for the cats and she sprang into action to adjust our booking. Jillian was every bit as great as I knew she would be and even surpassed my expectations. This woman is thorough, she thinks ahead, she looks to solve issues even before they happen. We had a snow storm while we were gone and she made sure she got to the house. We received daily photos of all of the cats, who by the way hide from strangers all the time, but not Jillian! I think she’s a cat whisperer of some sort. She was on time for her visits, left the place clean, took her shoes off to walk around the house, so thoughtful!! On prior vacations when I’ve left my pets I always notice they’re a little ‘off’ when I return, not with Jillian. They were very much themselves which speaks volumes. I highly highly highly recommend her. We are already booking another trip because this was the first time in years that I really relaxed and didn’t feel any worry about the pets.”

“Joanna and her daughter were wonderful with our pups while we were gone!! Joanna was very responsive and attentive to our requests. We were grateful they showed our dogs lots of love and will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you, Joanna!”

“Rebecca was so friendly and our dog took well to her during our initial meet and greet. She was great with communication and sent lots of pics of our lovely pup!! Definitely recommend Rebecca & will be using her in the near future!”

Melissa M.

“Thank you so much Megan for taking such good care of my girls. They really appreciated having you to comfort them and seemed very relaxed while I was away. I appreciated how neat you were and that you left the house spotless thank you so much!”

Natalie H.

“She messaged me every day with photos and updates on how everyone was doing which was super appreciated”

“Nico LOVES Taylor! She did an awesome job with him while we were out of town for 9 days. New Rover parents to our puppy, we don’t just trust him with anyone. She was so communicative and transparent, sending pictures and updates too!”
