“Gabrielle is a welcomed friend to my cats! One is insulin dependent and she takrs great care and attention to his insulin doses. She is very communicative! I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”
About: Over the years I've cared for the pets of family friends and relatives. From taking pups on walks & play session to drop ins for cats. Making sure I'm following dietary need for each pet. Getting to know the different personalities of each animal I come across is my passion. In my childhood home I was able to experience caring for puppies until they became elderly. Though most of my experience is with pits. I was blessed to care for a doodle mix & a shih Tzu in their last years. I respect all animals and their space. I currently work full-time 3 days a week with 4 day available to care for your furbabies. Saturday- Monday is my work schedule. Tuesday-Friday I am up by 7am cleaning my home or visiting my parents. By 12pm the rest of my day is free. I can do evening drop ins (after 5pm) or overnight stays on the days I work (leave by 4am). Am very flexible during the week. If you're in need of a sitter/ care giver for family or business trips. In my home or the client's home I will follow the set schedule the clients have for their pets. My home has a fenced in backyard where I can take elderly or less fit pups to play and potty. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood where I can take your pup on walks. I do require a harness and leash set per pet with a portable water bowl to keep them hydrated on walks. A breakdown of allergies or sensitivities each pet has. As well as a bed or crate for them to sleep in overnight. At the client's house I would like to do a walk through of the property and learn the habits of their pet. This will give me an understanding of how to properly care for each individual pet in and outside of the home.
“Grace is a wonderful sitter. I never have to worry while I’m away at work! She’s reliable, asks questions when needed, and always ensures both of my pups are properly taken care of.”
“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
About: As the proud owner of a sweet, Chocolate Lab named Charlie Brown, I know firsthand that our animals aren’t “just pets”—they’re family! I offer professional, reliable drop-in visits and walks tailored specifically to your dog's unique energy levels and safety requirements. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles or whatever your pet loves most to make their day extra special. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy being around them. In fact, even when I’m on vacation, I find myself looking for ways to spend time with dogs! On my last vacation, I visited a local shelter and ended up taking one of the dogs out for the day—just because I wanted to give them some extra love, attention, and a fun break from the kennel and it was so rewarding. I genuinely love dogs! I’m also a cat lover and happy to care for your cats, too! I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, attention, and of course plenty of love while you’re away. I’ve spent the past 20 years caring for pets as an adult and have had cats and dogs throughout my entire life. I’d love to give your pets that same love and attention I give mine, while they’re in my care. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate both recurring and occasional walks or drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine whenever possible. **If you do not see open availability on a particular date for which you would like to request my services, please message me and I will let you know if I am available to accommodate your pet's needs** I want your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. During drop-in visits, I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and companionship. For walks, I’ll make sure they get safe, enjoyable exercise at their own pace. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you leave, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. //What a Premium Visit with Me Includes: * Safety-First Leash Manners: Attentive handling to ensure no slipping collars, harnesses or reactive encounters on walks. * Real-Time Digital Tracking: You will receive detailed Rover Cards with GPS walk routes, exact potty logs, and multiple high-quality photos during every visit. * Home Security Assurance: Diligent care taken with your home's locking mechanisms, alarm systems, and respect of your home. * Custom Routines: Strict adherence to your pet's precise feeding, requests & timelines.
“Alicia was amazing. She did three drop ins per day for the long Memorial Day weekend. She is friendly, responsible, and dependable. We will definitely welcome Alicia to take care of our baby dog again.”
“Patrick was wonderful! He was on time and communicated well. My cats accidentally locked themselves in a closet during the day and he let me know immediately. He took care of them and made sure to give them extra pets!! I’ll definitely be booking him again.”
“Jessica is PHENOMENAL. This was my first time ever time getting a dogsitter so I was a bit nervous at the beginning but Jessica made this entire process so great for myself but more importantly my dog:) My poor old man 🐶 has turned into a grumpy apprehensive dog but Jess made sure to keep him as happy and as comfortable as possible. She was even so sweet with my two cats as well. I will most definitely be asking her again to take care of my babies. 10/10 stars.”
“Thank you for caring for Eve! I was a little worried to leave her home for so long, and your visits made me feel so much better. She loved getting playtime and pets every day.”
“Our regular pet sitter was unavailable and I reached out to Alexandra. She was very responsive and easy to work with. I would gladly book with her again to watch my fur babies.”
“Valerie popped in for our dogs due to last minute plans. They love her, and she has been such a huge help! We are confident they are in good hands when we are away. Her notes are extensive and give us peace of mind.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home my whole life. I have had pets of all ages and I am able to care for their unique needs, such as walking, feeding, giving medication and above all love and attention. Neighbors, Friends and Family have relied on me many times to care for their pets. I am a full time teacher with my summers off. During the summer I am able to care for you pet at all times of the day. From September - June I am only available after 3pm. I will give your pet the attention and love they want. If that is feeding your cat and offering attention and play time or walking your dog and giving them the exercise they need, I am what your pet needs!
“David took great care of my two cats with his drop-in visits. He even brought our trash cans in for us! David communicated with me about my pets and when he was going to be late. I would definitely book him again!”
About: I grew up with both dogs🐶 and cat🐱 so I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I have a ShihTzu named Chloe - she is 5 years old and is so sweet. She loves socializing with other dogs - she is calm yet has her playful moments as well. My close friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me to take care of their fur babies throughout the years. I recently decided to make a Rover account to help others who need a trusted individual take care of their fur baby(s). Please message me if you have any questions! 🐾 • I currently work remote from 9am-5pm. I am fully available nights and weekends. • I take Chloe out between 7:30-8:00am to use the potty/10 minute walk. Then I give her a Greenie and her breakfast. • I take Chloe out around 12/12:30 for a potty break followed by a treat and some playtime. • Around 5pm I take Chloe out for a potty break and a 15 minute walk. Sometimes I will take her to the dog park or she will socialize with other dogs on our walk around the community. Afterwards, I feed her dinner. • I take Chloe out around 9pm for another short walk/potty break. I then sometimes take her out again around 10-10:30 before we go to bed. • I have the flexibility to take care of your fur baby(s) during the day, evenings & weekends.🐾 • I live on the first floor of an apartment complex that is extremely dog friendly. They have two dog parks - (one for big and one for small dogs) which are both conveniently located across from my building! A good number of residents in my community have a dog so there is plenty of socializing. • I do not crate Chloe however, if you prefer to have your fur baby crated, please let me know and that can be arranged.

Davene did an excellent job looking after our two cats. She communicated well before, during, and after each visit. She made sure they finished their food and medicine and even stayed a little extra to keep them company which was a lovely touch. We'll look to Davene again to watch over them during our future travels!
Colin was just great with my 3 y.o. cat, Georgia who I adopted from the shelter. She is skittish with strangers because of her history. She tends to hide from them. She never hid from Colin. He was caring and thoughtful. Knowing that Georgia was well cared for allowed me to enjoy my vacation peacefully. I highly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hartford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 4,246 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartford. On Rover:

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
