About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I make sure your dog feels safe, exercised, and well-loved. Pet care fits into my routine—I work full time during the week, but I’m available for walks and check-ins in the mornings and evenings. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some time outside and love spending that time with dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on keeping things consistent and tailored to each pet’s needs. I stick to their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. If they’re staying with me, I give them a quiet, clean space to relax, and they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day.
About: I am super patient and would love to help you out! I also have experience with basic obedient puppy training :)! Have had cats all of my life and my puppy the past year. I am pretty flexible, my current job schedule is always consistent. I don’t work too many hours so I always have more than enough time for my own furr babies. I am always cleaning and made sure to have my pets fed morning and night. Litter box is always cleaned and refilled. I also make sure there’s nothing out that could be harmful for the babies.
About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.

Hartford cat parents share their Rover experiences
We highly recommend Madison. She is reliable, communicative and just so easy to work with. Our dog and cat both have some additional needs (separation anxiety, medicated food, etc) and she did a great job understanding them and keeping them calm, safe and happy.
Leah did a wonderful job with Sachi! She is prompt, responsive, and obviously cares a lot about animals. The regular updates and photos eased my worries about being away from my senior girl. I came home to a calm and content cat - and a nice clean litterbox! I would happily book with Leah again, and I hope I get the opportunity to!
This was the first time that Talia has sat for us and we were pleased with the experience. She was punctual each day and did everything we asked of her. Julie is very shy, but she did greet Talia each day and seemed OK in the pictures Talia sent us, which was very reassuring to us. We also appreciated the daily updates from Talia.
Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.
Sarah was INCREDIBLE! We got daily updates, an amazing blog post, and SO MANY PHOTOS. Raimi was not just cared for, she was loved. Sarah is very communicative and kept us updated about the time of her visits at all times. I know Sarah will be our go to for whenever we need to leave Raimi (as long as she’s available, of course).
