Dog Walking in Hartford

“Laura has been caring for our pets for several years and we HIGHLY recommend her if you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as well as you do. She’s amazing with our two large dogs who are always thrilled to see her, and even our shy cat comes out when she’s around! She goes above and beyond to make sure every animal’s needs are met and that each has received their fair share of head scratches and belly rubs. Laura is a true animal lover and we are so lucky to know that our pets are always in good hands with her!”

“Matthew is so pleasant and laid back, any loving animal will gravitate well with him. Matthew was an easy win for my pittie girlie and she absolutely enjoyed her AM walk with him. I have already booked more appointments with Matthew that my pittie and I look forward to.”

“Eleni was raised in a pack and knows what love is for all fur babies. Having seen her with her own dog and my very own, she's attentive. Trust in her to meet your needs in handling your loved one. She will treat as her very own.”

“Gary is awesome! Super reliable and treats Rosebud so sweetly. Very punctual and great at communicating. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Jillian was so kind! I needed someone last minute to walk my dog and she was awesome. We have never had someone stop into the house we hadn’t met before and could not have picked a better person. Nora was well taken care of and I was worry free. Thank you!”

“Miranda does such an awesome job taking care of koda! Will be booking with her for walks and dog sitting again!”

“Vanessa has been great for our high-energy puppy, Ladybird! With enthusiasm and patience, she tackles walks like a pro, clearly adoring dogs and taking time to connect with them. Vanessa goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with photos and continuous communication giving us total peace of mind. If you need top-notch dog care, look no further than Vanessa!”

“Lusianna has been a pleasure to work with. She’s easy to communicate with and I can tell she really cares about my dog. She’s definitely one of the best and most reliable walkers I’ve used.”

“Thank so much Katie! This was our first time using Rover, and we love that Ramona was quickly so comfortable with Katie, we went out all day and we’re able to enjoy knowing Ramona was in great hands”

“Le’Andra is an animal lover for sure! She loves them all know matter how big or small. Do know that your pet is in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

“Bella (my dog) absolutely loves Alex. He always gives her great walks, plays fetch with her, and find the stick. Would highly recommend him if your looking for a walker or boarder. It's obvious how much he loves dogs.”

“Kanwar was great! Scout picked up the good vibes immediately and got along very well. Kanwar was responsive and very considerate. For example, he went out of his way to check Scout’s water bowl was full after his walk on a hot day.”

“Joshua was great! Very considerate of my elderly dog and good with the puppy also.”

“Great service! She was right on time. Responsive and flexible.”

About: I have lots of love and a unique appreciation for rescue dogs of all types and sizes, having worked with local rescues for 5 years. I have also walked, trained and fostered dogs of all sizes, from 12 to 200 pounds, including dogs of senior age, and dogs with accessibility needs and/or vision impairment. I have experience fostering dogs who are anxious or nervous around new people places and things, with special attention to body language, each pet’s comforts & routines, and positive reinforcement tools. I have stayed over numerous neighbors and friends homes to adjust to their pets’ schedules, maintain their home space, and keep their K9 loved ones comfortable in their absence. I am a full time worker in downtown Hartford, with capability to work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me flexibility on those days to walk and care for the pets of friends and family. I love getting outside, for at least an hour daily, and love animals, so this satisfies two of my favorite past times. I also like to go for a run and sing / play the keyboard in my free time! I come to you for daytime walks, outs, and in-house day or overnight care! Unfortunately I do not have the capability to bring your furry friends into my home. However, I would love to care for your pet through stop in walks and outs during the day, full day care on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays while you are working or away, and am flexible to stay over and include holidays and long weekend care, per your level of comfort!

“i trust alix with my cats’ lives!!! she’s so good with them and i see how much they love her. i get tons of photos everytime she’s with them :). she even made them a little pet report card when taking care of them for the first time, which i thought was the sweetest thing ever. her passion for taking care of animals is apparent in her work. alix has done tons of drop ins at my apartment. she always made sure the water was always full and litter box was clean. i traveled for 2.5 weeks and i was in awe at how amazing she was. my cats’s food ran out while i was traveling and i freaked out but she picked up my package and did everything for me. once, the electricity in my building went out and she even went back in AGAIN to make sure their automatic feeder and water fountain were back on. it’s not easy trusting strangers to come into your home, but im so glad i found alix. i genuinely recommend her, she’s amazing.”

“Triba has been taking excellent care of my dog King and I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services. I am always comfortable that my dog and even apartment are in good hands with Triba. I can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and feels deeply responsible for their well-being. My dog feels comfortable with her and responds well to her. Triba is reliable and also flexible. She also is responsive when I check in via phone or text. Every household and every pet is unique I believe Triba is able to adapt her caregiving to accommodate those differences and can adjust comfortably to any situation. -Caroline M.”

About: Hi, it’s Niki! ✨ I am new to Rover, but I can’t wait to get started! I am extremely motivated and excited about starting my journey here. Now, some fun facts about me: I have six years of experience caring for pets. I’ve had a dog for about 5 years. She was a miniature schnauzer and loved to escape on walks.. those were some fun times… I’ve helped my sister take care of a friend’s cat during the pandemic. A black cat called George who like to play. He was very affectionate and everyone called him Georgie :). I’m pretty outgoing, I will get along with anyone, You can trust me with your dog/cat- the most important thing you can ask from a pet sitter. I send pictures and updates so you can rest easy. I am prompt, caring, and communicative. I treat your pets like they are my own. Let me know what you need and we can discuss. You can book me in the mornings and late afternoons. I can also work on the weekends and holidays. I also do overnight if you need a sitter. I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets, so any work you want me to do regarding your pet would have to be at your home or neighborhood.

“We have a large, leash reactive dog, Sarah did a great job with him, she is able to get him to calm down when needed. She plays with him to get his exercise out and always provides an excellent accounting of their time together. Sarah has also made herself available to us when we get needed her last minute. Highly recommend!”
