“We have never left our dogs with anyone that wasn't family before, and we were worried about our older dog being ok with a stranger for a week, but Kat is now family ❤ She was welcomed by both our fur babies and she was awesome with them. She sent pictures, kept us updated daily, and called when there was a problem that needed immediate attention. We will not only be using her services again, but we have referred her out to our friends that are looking for amazing pet services. Our pets were well cared for, snuggled, and played with. We are already looking forward to our next vacation knowing that Brody and Jade will be more than well taken care of.”

About: I have had 3 family dogs throughout my life, I personally take care of reptiles and amphibians, and I genuinely love to care for animals! I personally own a bearded dragon named Ember and in the past, I have briefly homed poorly cared for lizards and found them new homes. My family currently has a pit bull terrier mix, named Nyla. She is the absolute light of my life and she truly made me realize how happy caring for animals made me. I work a full time job, 6:00am-2:30pm and this schedule will transition to 8am-5:00pm on Monday, October 26th. But I am flexible before or after my shift if you are also able to be! But, I do have some current commitments: Dog/Cat Sit In at: 5:00am-5:15am and 5:30pm-6:00pm from October 7th to October 14th. Dog walking from 4:30pm-5:30pm from October 5th to January 7th. Please keep this schedule in mind before booking with me, thank you! I want to respect anyone’s home and pets as if they were my own. Safety and attention to detail is always important when someone trusts you to work for them.

“Catherine took such great care of our little princess. She was extremely professional and kept us informed the whole time we were away. Our dog loved her calm demeanor. Our dog is a blind, diabetic little softie who requires help to get up and down stairs but again Catherine was up for the task. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your dog.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and often stay with my family and friends dogs when they travel. I am patient, kind, and dependable. Your pets will be well taken care of so you can relax while away from home. Working full time but available to house sit or do drop ins depending on the day. My work schedule changes often to reach out to discuss availability. Sorry, I am not currently taking pets into my home. I am currently only available for drop ins and house sitting in your home. Thank you

“Jess was fantastic! We had plans to board our dog while we went on vacation but it fell through last minute and we were stuck without reliable care. We downloaded Rover, did some research, and found Jess who was INCREDIBLY responsive and sensitive to our needs. She was able to offer in-home pet sitting for us on short notice which we were so grateful for. We were still able to go on our trip for a few days and we felt like our sweet girl was in great hands with Jess. She kept our home tidy, followed all of our directions, and even helped us meet some training goals! We highly recommend working with Jess and will be keeping in touch with her for future care!”

About: My extensive experience in pet care is founded on a deeply rooted love for animals and a commitment to providing top-notch service. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach tailored to each pet's unique needs and personality. Whether it's walking a puppy, or providing gentle care for senior pets, I have a versatile skill set that ensures every furry friend in my care receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to adapt to various situations and my keen understanding of animal behavior enable me to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets thrive. Don't think I just stop at Cats and Dogs! I was a professional pet sitter for years and have watched and cared for Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Fishes and a Pigeon (yes even a pigeon). I currently have 8 year old cat Begbie (gorgeous, grumpy and full of sass) 2 1/2 year old cat Dexter (always has his tuxedo on ready to crash events and full of spice) 3 guinea pigs (Norman, Joel and Donnie), they currently reside in their own room (with fences around the outlets), where they have plenty of room to forage, hide, run, whatever their tiny hearts desire. In essence, my passion for pets, sets me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations and provide peace of mind to pet owners. One of the biggest perks of having a flexible schedule right now? I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I currently have very flexible daytime/nighttime availability, which means I can accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs, including drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or simply don’t enjoy being left alone for long periods. Need someone to stop by during the day? I’m your person! Have a pet who needs multiple visits? Let’s talk! Have a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC? Absolutely! Have a furry friend who thinks a 20-minute visit is simply unacceptable? I understand their demands. 😂 Because my schedule is flexible, I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and maintains as much of their normal schedule as possible. Your schedule may be busy. Mine is currently wide open—and your pets are more than welcome to fill it! 🐶🐱🐹🐦 Availability varies by day and booking, so please reach out and let’s see what works best for you and your pets. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their home or caring for my own in our home, my number-one priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and completely spoiled—in the best possible way! I believe keeping their routine as normal as possible is key. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship because I know pets can miss their humans just as much as humans miss them. I pay close attention to behavior and look for anything unusual, such as changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or mood. If something doesn’t seem right, I’ll let you know promptly. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own—clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I have experience with cats and small animals and understand that every pet has a different comfort level. Some want to play, some want cuddles, some want to explore, and some would prefer to stare at me from across the room while silently judging my life choices. I respect all of these personalities! 😂 Most importantly, I don’t believe pet sitting is simply checking a box on a to-do list. It’s about building trust, providing companionship, following your pet’s routine, and making sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. You enjoy your time away. I’ll handle the treats, belly rubs, zoomies, and occasional feline attitude. 🐾

“Allie was truly lovely. This was our first time using a sitter. Parker has a lot of separation anxiety so I wasn't sure how it would go. She took the time to come do a meet and greet ahead of time. She made him feel comfortable, asked questions and spent time calmly cuddling him so he could get used to her while we were all together. She was communicative and sent me photo updates. It was clear Parker felt safe with her and that helped put me ease. I am so grateful to know we have someone we cen trust him with now.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hartford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hartford on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hartford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hartford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hartford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hartford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartford. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
