“We had a great experience with Mary-Claire! I felt completely at ease leaving our pup in her care for the weekend. We really appreciated the updates and communication while we were away.”
About: Even though I don't have a lot of certified training, I know how to show my love and affection to each and everyone pets just like I have in the past for my own. I am currently unemployed, and I will be starting to go back to school in the fall semester of this year, so my availability is kind of flexible during the week, except for Wednesday's Thursday and Sunday. I will treat every one's pet with love, care, respect and patience that they need and treat them as one of my own family members.
“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Katie and her family were AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter and they couldn’t have taken better care of our girl. We got multiple updates and lots of pictures which put us at ease. Katie’s girls were super cute with Bear and she enjoyed all of the extra pets and attention. We’d 100% recommend Katie to anyone and look forward to having her watch Bear again in the future.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place

“Anita took care of my two dogs Rylan, a one year old husky mix, and Vandy a 12 year old pitbull this past weekend and honestly they couldn't of been in better hands. I picked them up on Sunday and they didn't even want to leave. They had obviously received so much love and attention and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Anita!!!”
“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a teenager and I love being around animals. They have a way of raising your spirit. I currently work a full-time job and would be free on the weekends or after 3 PM on the weekdays. I’m also free most holidays. I make sure to follow whatever rules are given to me by the owner so that they feel comfortable, letting me take care of their best friend.
“Betsabeth and her pup Bear are absolutely great! Freya has definitely made new friends in them and gets so excited when I drop her off for the weekend-- I know she's being cared for well. Betsabeth is very accommodating and keeps me updated with pictures while I'm away :) I highly recommend her!”

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, as well as provided drop-in visits for cats. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I am home the majority of the day, giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks, along with lots of cuddles, attention, and companionship throughout the day!

While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I have a large yard with a dog lead, and I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel right at home! 😊

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Hartford
I had such a great experience with Amanda! She took wonderful care of Hazel and kept me updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again!
Christle was amazing! Having never boarded my 2 lab mix pups before and one being on the older side, It was near impossible to find someone willing and trust worthy to leave my guys with. Daily updates and responsiveness are one thing, but knowing your pups are relaxed while you can be worry free was big! Thank you Christle! I highly recommend and will look to have her watch Bauer and Noodle again.

There are 815 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Hartford. About 91% of East Hartford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
