“Savannah took such good care of our cat! It was our first vacation since we got him and we were a little nervous because he can be anxious. Savannah sent lots of cute updates, pictures, and videos so I knew he was happy at home!”
“This was our first time using Alexa and she was wonderful!! Our kitties really liked her and followed her around everywhere.

About: What sets me apart? I might be an actress by profession, but animals have always been the real stars of my life! 🐾 I genuinely love their company (sometimes more than people 😉) and believe every pet deserves individualized care, affection, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether your fur baby needs a playful companion, a professional cuddler, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, happy, and loved. To me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s making new furry friends and treating them like family. ❤️ A Flexible Schedule, A Whole Lot of Love! 🐾 As a working actress, my schedule changes depending on my theater commitments, which means that when I’m between shows, pet care becomes my primary focus! I love being able to dedicate my time and attention to the animals I care for, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, mealtime, playtime, or some much-needed companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to communicate about scheduling in advance so we can find a routine that works for both you and your pets. When I’m available, I love filling my days with furry friends, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤️🐶🐱 Your Pets Are in Loving Hands! 🐾 Leaving your fur babies at home can be hard, but I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be well cared for while you’re away! Whether it’s a potty break, a fresh meal and water, playtime, belly rubs, or simply some extra company and affection, I’ll make sure your pets receive attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs and routines. As a devoted pet mom myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels. I’ll respect their routines, keep their safety a priority, and make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can check in on your babies and enjoy a little peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets aren’t just another stop on my schedule—they’re little family members who deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱

“Lauryn did an amazing job watching our two cats. We found out shortly before our trip that one of our cats had a health issue and the other car began “forgetting” to use the litter pan. Lauryn handled our cat’s issues with professionalism and showed a true understanding of our cat’s personalities. We received regular updates and many photos which assured us that all was well at home. Thanks to Lauryn we could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were in good hands. I highly recommend Lauryn if you need a sitter for your cats.”
About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.

I also have had family friends and other from different town asks me to watch their pets for a couple days (feeding, walking, etc.). I’ve watched up to three dogs at a time so I’m comfortable with anything! I’m part-time do anything on the weekends is best for me! I’m a stay at home mom and just looking to make some extra money!

About: Hi, I'm Max! I've been caring for pets around South Jersey for over 8 years, and I've also worked as a veterinary assistant. I've looked after dogs, cats, chickens, goats, turtles, frogs, fish, and reptiles, so there's not much that surprises me. Have a pet that isn't on this list? I'm always happy to learn. Walk me through their care and I'll follow it to the letter. Some of my longtime clients have trusted me with their pets for 6+ years, and I love that kind of relationship. I'm great with: • Happy, easygoing dogs who just want walks, play, and belly rubs • Shy or anxious pups who need a little time to warm up • Seniors and special-needs pets • Diabetic pets, including twice-daily insulin • Multi-pet households, dogs and cats together • Reptiles and other critters with special setups I'm based in Medford and cover nearby towns for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. On weekdays I'm available mornings, evenings, and overnight, and I'm open all day on weekends and holidays. Not sure if I cover your area? Send me a message, I'm happy to check! I care for pets in your home, so they get to stay comfortable in their own space. I keep their normal schedule for meals, walks, meds, and bedtime, and I follow your house rules. You'll get updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. I have two senior dogs and two reptiles of my own, so I get how much your pets mean to you. From my clinic experience I'm comfortable with pills, injections, post-op care, and First Aid/CPR. If anything ever seems off, you'll hear from me right away.

Sharon is wonderful with my animals (1dog and 2 cats). I have used her multiple times and I feel very comfortable. She even gives my dog Leo his insulin shots and cares for him even though he is mostly blind and deaf. You will not be disappointed if you hire her to care for your fur babies!
Dani did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats and we would happily request her again. She followed all instructions and the kitties clearly enjoyed being with her. She was also easy to communicate with and kept us updated through Rover and text messages.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hartford is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,320 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hartford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
