Top rated Hartford cat sitters
“We honestly could not feel more fortunate to have found Kelly to watch our elder kitties during a recent vacation. One of our cats needs twice-daily meds…and lots of social / snuggle time. We could tell from the meet-and-greet that Kelly would be the perfect fit. From answering our questions before we left to providing lots of reassuring information and pictures while we were away, her presence enabled us to relax and her vet-tech experience left us assured that the cats were in great hands. We will book Kelly without hesitation next time we go away!”
“Lorraine was an absolute saint with my little Lefty!! She was punctual, professional, reliable, and even worked with me last minute for some additional days and times I needed. She sent updates and photos and kept me updated every visit. It’s important to me my fur babies are well taken care of when I’m away and I felt at ease knowing she had everything taken care of. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Alicia was great with our girls. One of our girls is still adjusting to our house. Her quiet steps in the house is just what she needed. Communication was excellent and flexible.”
“Natalie took excellent care of our two cats (age 14 & 18) while we were out of town. She's dependable, communicates well, and went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy healthy fur babies!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Sharon! She took such great care of my two cats. Communication was excellent—Sharon kept me updated with messages and adorable photos throughout the visits. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Sharon again!”
“Amanda was a spectacular sitter! I just moved to the area and was so glad to have stumbled upon her profile to sit my two kitties. I have a very anxious, shy cat that she was able to feed and take care of. Amanda was a gentle care giver and was very polite. Would recommend for anyone needing a sitter!”
“Megan did a great job taking care of Tiger while we were away, watered our plants, and even waged war on some ants that took advantage of us being gone! We would definitely use her services again in the future; she definitely eased the stress of being so far away from home with her updates and pictures!”
“We are so grateful for Collin’s help, especially because my request came so last minute! He took great care of my cat, Penelope, and she was happy and healthy when we arrived home. I loved receiving pictures of her enjoying her time with Collin. I have already booked him for my next trip out of town :)”
“Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!”
“Marissa was so great with our brand new puppy, Lola! She was so caring and thoughtful and had the BEST updates. We were so nervous leaving our baby alone but we felt so good with her in the care of Marissa.”
“Jessica was wonderful! I had a sitter cancel on me last minute before needing to leave town for the weekend, so I had to find a new sitter fast. Jessica responded immediately after sending a request and agreed to take care of my cat Liam for the weekend. She was very friendly and attentive to Liam’s needs, and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you again!!”
