“Yadira was awesome! Our dogs loved Yadira and we felt so at ease while we were away. Yadira went above and beyond. We would recommend Yadira to anyone looking for a reliable in-home sitter!!”
“Maya was amazing watching my Bichon Frise Roshi. He was diagnosed with a UTI shortly before I left for my vacation and she was able to provide him the best care in my absence. She was able to give him his antibiotics without issues and provided updates and photos throughout my absence. She was kind, respectful, and I really appreciated her. Thank you again for everything.”
“Grace is amazing! She spent the week with our 4 babies over Thanksgiving and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Grace made sure they had plenty of exercise, love and treats; she was quick to respond and sent daily pictures. She was even willing to help out with little things like collecting mail and trash day. We will definitely be keeping in touch with her for future trips!!”
“It’s so important to come home to happy and relaxed fur kids! Josh takes great care of them and the peace of mind of having Josh in the house while we are away is priceless!”
“Jillian was great! Good communication and arrived early which was super helpful. I have a uncommon dog breed and she asked plenty of questions about them to better understand their mannerisms. Would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“We needed a dog sitter last minute and Carol quickly accepted! Out Cody loved to hang with her all day. I got multiple updates throughout the day. I truly appreciate the care Carol gives to our pup and will most definitely ask her to sit for us again in the near future.”
“Matt and Marybeth stayed at our home for 3 days to watch our Newfie. They were absolutely terrific from the first communication through the entire stay— always very prompt, thorough and quickly asked questions as needed. They kept us informed throughout the stay with updates & pics. You can tell from the pics that our Newfie was enjoying her time with them. If we could give them more than 5 stars we would. We plan to use them again.”
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.
“Carla is not only wonderful with pets she is a great human! We really enjoyed the experience of working with Carla and I know we will do so again many more times in the future. I would highly recommend her services to anyone out there looking for someone to trust with your pet.”
“Vanessa was such a blessing! Our pitty really loved spending the weekend with her. She paid close attention to detail in our instructions and was so thorough. We definitely will be asking Vanessa to come back again for our dog.”
“If you’re looking for a reason to book someone-look no further, you won’t be disappointed in Joanna. Joanna and her daughter Amelia were fantastic! I was given updates about my pups consistently making my week vacation worry free with everything at home. Joanna works from home mainly so she was with my dogs throughout the day, major plus. They walked one of my dogs regularly and followed my wishes to not walk the older one, *due to arthritis he can’t do walks. My elderly dog who really doesn’t like people, especially young kids cuddled with Joanna’s daughter, Amelia! That was a sight to see, if she didn’t send the photo I wouldn’t believe it. Heartwarming to see that my angry at life dog was happily cuddling up with someone other than me, what more could you ask for when away from them? When I came home I could very much tell my dogs were taken care of with love and my house was in better shape than I left it for them. I will definitely be using Joanna and her daughter again for future trips.”
“Vanessa was by far the best sitter we’ve had in nearly ten years. She went above and beyond. She took pebbles on hikes and swims and dog parks, kept her super clean and managed her food and meds very well. We returned in over a week to find pebbles thriving. We would call on Vanessa in a heart beat going forward whenever we need someone to care for our pup.”
“Gianna is amazing. She saved us when we were out of town and desperate to find a replacement sitter. She took such great care of our dogs and our house was spotless when we came home. Would 100% book with her again.”
About: I’ve spent over 7 years caring for dogs and cats of all kinds.I currently work as a veterinary technician, which gives me medical knowledge in animal health, first aid, and behavior. I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet I look after. Caring for animals is my passion, and I enjoy getting to know each furry friend as if they were my own I currently work part-time as a veterinary technician, which allows me the flexibility to dedicate time to pet sitting. I can always find a way to make our schedules work. I Iike spending that time playing, walking, and caring for them. I can keep a safe, clean, and calm environment so your pet can feel comfortable and happy. I don’t offer care at my home, but I take care of your pets at yours. I can administer medication, care for pets with special needs, and respond quickly in case of an emergency.
About: I’ve taken care of not only my own pets, but family and friends that trust me and continue to rely on me to walk, pet sit over night, and just stop for feeding, attention, and walks! I’m currently in school at University of Connecticut. As of now I am available week and weekends until January 10th which will then change to Friday-Sundays only! I have a fenced park near me which I walk my own dog to each day. My dog is very friendly and would love to keep your dog company!
“Gabriel was fantastic.. He made sure to have taken out and kept the house clean. He also got a smaller bag of food for the pups as the bags that were in the pantry ran out. The fish were fed daily, He took both dogs for walks daily too and shoveled out some snow from the deck to make a path for them to get to the yard and cleared out snow from the stairs from the deck too. I’m so happy with his work. Highly recommend”
“Jennie was so incredible with Cash! She stayed with him at my apartment for an entire week and I returned with my home just as clean as I found it. She went above and beyond by taking Cash on walks and adventures while I was away, and kept me updated throughout the entire time! I would absolutely work with her again and am so thankful for the care she provided my pup!”

Hartford pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Maya took great care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and check-in messages, and we came home to a clean house. She even went the extra step of stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the washer. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would gladly have her sit for us again.
Alyanna took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. Alyanna was very communicative; she checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures of happy pets. Our house was well cared for, as well. We would definitely recommend and book Alyanna for future visits.
Brianna was wonderful with our Doberman, making sure she got plenty of exercise everyday. She was also very accommodating to our changing needs. We received happy pictures of our dog daily. It’s clear Brianna loves dogs and we would love to work with her again.
Saylor was kind enough to take a very last minute booking for me on a weekday afternoon. She responded promptly, communicated well, asked good questions. She was early to the appointment, very friendly and kind in person. (And she’s got cute doggies!) I will absolutely be asking her back.
