House Sitting Hartford

“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!!”

“Callan was wonderful with our deaf and special-needs dog (she has megaesophagus). He was always prompt getting back to us, and proactive with his communication. He was on time and sent many pictures! Our little one doesn’t warm up to everyone, and she really likes Callan! We will use him again if the need arises!”

“Adrienne was great with my fur baby! She sent lots of pictures, gave his meds with no issue and even went back to check on him when I asked her on a day when he was especially anxious.”

About: I used to help care for a friend/family member’s fur kids, and honestly, I miss it more than I expected. When I moved out, they haven’t needed me as much, but a little sad for me! I miss the walks, the feeding routines, and all those quiet little bonding moments. I may be new to Rover, but I see it as the perfect excuse to get back to something I really enjoy. Think of me as your pet’s cool aunt with patience, care, and a lot of affection. My top priority is making every pet feel safe and comfortable, like they’re with someone they already trust. And yes, I fully believe in extra belly rubs and a little goofy energy when needed. I’m pretty flexible right now, so I’d really appreciate some advance notice to help me plan my schedule. I’d also love to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and at ease. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks or park runs, bringing some goofy energy, or just relaxing together. Of course, plenty of belly rubs whenever they’re wanted. I adapt to whatever they need. I’m also happy to follow any instructions you have to keep things consistent for your fur kid.

“Second time Carol stayed with our old dog. This time the dog got ill - Carol took her to the vet, made sure she got all the new meds set up, cared for her so well that the dog is bummed she is gone. I can’t imagine a more caring responsible pet sitter. She also communicated so well with us throughout it all. It’s hard to be away from a sick old dog but we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in such good hands.”

About: I have been a pet sitter for 5 years now, with dozens of clients who frequently teach back out to me to watch their pets again. I have worked as a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel attendant for two summers and have a significant amount of experience caring for pets and their various needs. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have experience working with reactive dogs insuring that your dog will be fully comfortable with me while you are gone. I am a student at the University of Hartford, so Monday through Thursday I would be stopping by between classes spending as much time with them as possible. Friday through Sunday I have no classes and so would be able to spend nearly the whole day with your pet. I am comfortable working with any sort of home from apartments to fenced in back yards. I am also fully commited to caring for your pets however they are used to being treated. This includes unconventional meal times, specific schedules that need to be followed and more. I also have experience working with animal medication and would be able to give your pet any medications they need.

“Eneida stayed at our house overnight with our pitbull and she was lovely. She wasn’t intimidated by our girl’s high level of excitement. Her communication was great, she sent lots of photos and we returned to a clean house and a happy, healthy dog. We will be asking her back!!”

About: 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 primarily work part time away from home mid-week in the evenings, but work from home the rest of the time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to being home for your baby. 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 love dogs!! I have had several rescue dogs. I am newer to cats but I also love cats. I will happily play with your dog, brush them, feed them treats, and take them for long walks. I’m generally free in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I'm happy to do ad hoc walks and dog sitting or have a more consistent/weekly pet care schedule. I live in a clean, dog-friendly house with a yard outside. There is space for both small dogs and large dogs. I also live in a neighborhood with many other dogs that like to socialize on walks!

“Amanda was awesome at watching our dog when we had a 4 night getaway. Will definitely use her again!”

Katie R.

“Renee was excellent with our girl. We felt so comfortable with her from the first meet and greet. Very responsive and stayed in touch with pictures and videos each day. She was on top of everything! We will definitely have Renee back to watch Angel again.”

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.

How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

“Michael was extremely wonderful with our dog Luna, she is very strong and with her high prey drive she can be alot for some people to handle. Luna was very happy in all the pictures I received, and I was happy to come home to a well exercised and cared for pup.”

“Priscilla has taken our dog on weekly walks and also just watched her while we were gone for our wedding. We were so grateful to have her watch our dog and couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She is genuinely the best and we knew our dog was in good hands so we didn’t have to stress. She gave us updates and was always responsive.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, and have even had four at the same time. I have always participated in walking, feeding, playing, and many other activities with the dogs. I enjoy playing off of the energy of dogs and trying to match it, and always encourage dogs to go outside, be active, and have fun. I love to go on walks with dogs around town and on trails, and am excellent at making sure everything is going smoothly during my visits. I also have experience dog sitting. I have taken care of a dog where I visited during the day and also went to spend nights at the house as well, making sure the dog was always under perfect care. I look forward to working with you!

“Norah was on time and was a great communicator. Most importantly she gave lots of love and affection to our pup while we were away! Highly recommend!”

“Couldn’t get any better, very responsive and easy to communicate with, house was perfect and my babies were well cared for. Went above and beyond with a few things, will definitely book again 💓”

About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.
