“Raquel was amazing with my cat while I was away for 5 days! she kept me updated with daily pictures and messages, and I came home to a very happy and relaxed kitty. Highly recommend and would definitely book again! Thanks so much, as always! :)”

“Jillian is the absolute BEST!!! We are repeat customers and couldn't be happier with having her as our cat sitter. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. While we're away, she takes amazing care of our cats and gives us complete peace of mind. We especially appreciate the daily photo updates seeing our cats happy and comfortable makes being away so much easier. It truly feels like they're in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and wouldn't trust anyone else!!!”

“Ifan is truly an exceptional dog handler, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first time we worked with him, it was clear that he brings both professionalism and genuine care to what he does. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about dog behavior, which immediately put me at ease as a pet owner. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routines, and it really shows in how comfortable and happy the dogs are around him. What stands out the most is how naturally he connects with the pups. My dog can be a bit particular when it comes to new people, but with Ifan, the bond was instant. Over time, that connection has only grown stronger—my pup gets excited every time he sees him, which says everything about the level of trust and comfort Ifan builds. It’s such a relief knowing that my dog is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and understood. Ifan is also incredibly polite, respectful, and communicative. He keeps me updated, is always punctual, and is very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I’ve used his services repeatedly, and each experience has been consistently excellent. Whether it’s handling high-energy playtime, maintaining routines, or just giving the dogs attention and affection, he does it all effortlessly. Overall, Ifan goes above and beyond what you would expect from a dog sitter or handler. His dedication, kindness, and expertise make him someone you can fully trust with your pet. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog care.”

“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”
About: I have taken care of animals for 15 years and I am very passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I grew up with both cats and dogs and so I am able to take care of both. From pugs, mastiffs, labradors, to cats, I can do it all. I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time employee that works nights (5p-2a), and so I have a lot of free time during the day to take care of your pet. I always get up early to make sure I’m taking care of me and my cat’s needs and am able to extend that care to your animals as well. When I do a drop-in visit, I always do a sweep around the main areas of the house to ensure that everything is in order. For dogs, my main priority is to take them out, check their water bowl and play with them to make sure they have the care they need for the day. For cats, I will always check their litter boxes to see if it needs any scooping, I will also check their food and water bowls and fill them up if needed. Like dogs, I will respect their boundaries and play with them to ensure they’re comfortable.
“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job as I hired her last minute due to traveling for work. Awesome communication start to finish. I look forward to hiring her again. Thank you!”

“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 😊”

About: In the past, my Aunt had 2 dogs that I absolutely loved taking care of. I would willingly bathe them, play with them, walk them, and even pick up their poop sometimes! I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement. Getting to know your dog and you are my top priority-your interactions can tell me everything I need to know! I am starting my college journey at UConn as a freshman this August, and am looking for a part time job that I love, and that is flexible, so that I may continue to fund my college career! I find that caring for a pet in a familiar environment is extremely beneficial to your pets-it causes them less stress, and gives you peace of mind! It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.
About: Although I’ve never owned my own cat, I have been working with Protectors of Animals in East Hartford as a cat foster home since March, 2025. I have helped rescue cats come out of their shell and learn to love human interaction and indoor life. I have experience administering liquid medication via syringe/hidden within treats and will make sure your cat has access to everything they need as well as a little play time during each visit. I am working full time but can drop in to check on your pet after work once a day and twice a day on the weekends! I will happily check to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well fed! During my drop in visit I will make sure food and water are readily available, the litter box has been scooped, and your pet has had some play time before I leave!
“Allie was absolutely amazing with our Jack!! 5⭐️ without a doubt! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable and updated us every step of the way during her visit. Would recommend! ❤️”

“We had our first drop in visit with Elyse today and she was great. We have a new puppy at home and I was worried about leaving her home alone for too long and having Elyse come by alleviated that. Elyse left a detailed note letting us know about the session and shared photos that put my mind at ease!”

About: I'm Ashley and i'm 22 years old and have been around animals all my life! I grew up with a Golden Retriever and multiple cats! I got my first cat on my own around a year ago and she unexpectedly had 4 kittens. I made sure all of them were taken care of through any complication we had. I ended up keeping one of these wonderful kittens for myself! I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and absolutely love them. I am looking into getting a dog for myself next year but want to make sure they would have enough space. I feel this is very important. I work full time during the week. I work from home Monday and Friday meaning I would be able to care for your pet throughout the day. On the days I am working in the office I will arrive home around 4:30 and are able to care for your pet anytime after! I'm currently working full time. I work two days from home, Monday and Friday and work Tuesday-Thursday in the office. I am able to stop by during my at home days, and always able to come after work around 4:30 any day of the week! I have two cats at home and will not be able to bring your animals into my home. I am more than willing to enter your home and make sure your animals are taken care of.

East Hartford pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

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.
