“I cannot speak highly enough of Raquel! Not only is she easy to talk to, extremely personable and friendly, she clearly has a passion for animals. Her daily updates while I was away for a week were extremely detailed and the pictures made my heart swell! She’s excellent with communication and is clearly knowledgeable about animals. Will definitely be reaching out when I need her again!”


“Amelia was a fabulous sitter for my kitty! We met up before my trip, and she asked all of the important questions that I didn't think to bring up, which made me confident that she was well-experienced and prepared! She is so sweet and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jillian is truly exceptional! She is caring, diligent, and utterly professional in every way. Her communication was thorough and reassuring throughout, and she followed our feeding and cleaning routines to the letter without ever needing a reminder. What really sets her apart, though, is how engaged and attentive she was with my cat, Ralphie. She didn't just show up and go through the motions. She genuinely connected with him. He adores her, and honestly, that's the best endorsement I could ask for. If you want someone who will treat your cat like family, Jillian is the sitter to book. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Rachel did an amazing job with Finley. She was very responsive and made sure to ask questions to ensure he received the proper care while we were away. I accidentally sent her to our old address and she was very understand and still was willing to drive to our new address and take care of Finley. I will definitely be using Rachel in the future when our dog needs additional care!”

“Tiarra was excellent with our pet. She was able to calm our dog during our time away. He had never been left alone in his life. This was a big deal!!!! Tiarra will definitely be my “go to” when we need services. She did an amazing job & we tipped 😊”

“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!”

“Laura was great! She was very communicative while she was over our place and was extremely patient with our girl who gets very nervous of new people. She took the time to let Kona warm up to her and now they’re besties. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Callan is excellent. He’s pet sit at my home before for our two dogs and drop ins. He is incredibly reliable and continues to be great with our dogs. Thank you Callan!”

“My job calls me in from time to time with little time to plan for a sitter. She is available to me even on very little notice. My dog is smiling in all the picture updates which makes me feel so good!”

“Ifan did an incredible job taking care of my Bernedoodle, who is full of energy and absolutely loves meeting new people. They handled his excitement with total confidence and experience, which immediately put me at ease. He got plenty of playtime in the backyard, lots of social interaction, and even came home tired and happy which is a rare accomplishment for a dog who could play all day. It was clear that Ifan really understands energetic dogs and knows how to keep them engaged in a positive way. My dog adored them, and I could tell he felt comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter.”
About: I genuinely treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs.

I pay close attention to details, and I’m always happy to give updates so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with my sweet 3 year old boy, Rottweiler pup Kaiya, and senior cat Madeline.

I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I always take time to play, cuddle, and keep them company. I treat your home with the same respect I’d expect for my own, clean, secure, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
“Jan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.”
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic, highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our dog can be a little picky about who she likes but Kristina had her trust from day 1. Visits were right on time and she sent photos/videos everytime she stopped by, couldn't have been better for our dog while we were away!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Hartford
Best sitter in the Hartford area — super flexible with timing, very responsive, and took amazing care of my pup. You can really tell Ifan genuinely loves dogs and make them feel comfortable and safe. I appreciated the constant updates, photos, and how accommodating they were with scheduling. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter in the Hartford area!
We lucked out with Erin and so did our dog. Our dog is not used to being with people she doesn’t know, but Erin made her feel very comfortable. Erin’s photographs and report when she left were reassuring and made us feel comfortable as well. This was our first experience with Rover. Erin’s positivity with our dog and attention to our requests exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Erin and would definitely work with her again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Hartford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
