“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. Gabby had some health issues pop up while I was gone, and Sarah kept me updated the whole time. Gabby had to go to the vet, and Sarah handled everything until I could get home. I highly recommend using Sarah next time you need a pet sitter!”


About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.

“This is our 2nd time using Sophie for in home dog sitting. Sophie engages, plays and loves Luna while caring for her & also sends updates and pictures often. Our dog is always happy and very well taken care of.”


“I can’t say enough great things about Carissa! She took amazing care of our home and our dogs while we were gone. We have two nearly 80-lb pitbulls, one of which is older and takes meds, and the other is young and rambunctious. She handled it all with ease and excellent communication. You could tell the dogs love her and she loves the dogs. Highly recommend Carissa for all of your dog and home-sitting needs!”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved cats and dogs! I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for a long time. I can’t have pets of my own at the moment so I’d love to spend more time with others and will always make sure they are well taken care of! I work early shifts so I have afternoon/evenings free to be able to help out others with pet care. I am flexible on the weekends too I won’t be able to care for pets in my home but In a clients home I will be respectful and take good care of their home as well.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and have lived with pets since I was 12. I’ve been a mom to two dogs and 7 cats. I am a very active person. I love going for walks, going to dog parks, playing with both cats and dogs. I am a mature, responsible professional and I currently have a lot of free time. I would like to spend that time doing what I love. I have one cats now, Rue and Fiver. I fostered Rue in 2020 and decided right away that he belonged with me. For the next 3 years, I continued to foster and then decided Rue needed a permanent companion, so Fiver became the perfect little brother. I am a teacher and I do not work during the months of July and August so am available any time of day. During the school year, I am available weekday afternoons and evenings and on weekends. I cannot offer pet care in my home at this time. I am very careful with all animals and will make sure they are safe and comfortable.

Christin C.
“If you want your pet to feel loved and cared for while you're away, then Christin is the one for you! She has watched our goldendoodle Gus many times, most recently while we were gone for a week. She provided us with pictures and daily updates! Every time Gus sees her he is so excited and jumps on her repeatedly (too my embarrassment, but it never has bothered her!) he sits on her lap like he's a puppy and stares into her eyes. She has a true connection with pets and you would be lucky to have her watch yours.”
Hartford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Savannah took very good care of our girls while we were away. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and Savannah was very communicative with me while we were away (texts/photos). The girls schedule was maintained and Savannah took very good care of our house! We will definitely use Savannah again!!

Sage was so great. I had somebody lined up who backed out last minute and I'm so glad that happened. She took on this job last minute and she took such great care of Winston! He often won't eat while I'm out of town but he definitely was comfortable enough to eat his food and his frozen treats. I got several pictures of him snuggled up in her lap. She also took such great care of the house and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be using her again!

We had an amazing experience with Joselyn housesitting for us and watching the dog. She communicated very well every day about the status of the house and how the dog was doing. I couldn't have asked for more. We've had other sitters in the past, but Joselyn was the best so far. Thank you for all you've done, and we will surely contact you in the future.

Sophie stayed with our 10 y/o lab, and took great care of him. I always worry about leaving him when we are on vacation, and it always puts my mind more at ease knowing he is getting taken care of in the comforts of his own home. Sophie kept us posted and sent us pictures to provide updates on our boy. Very thankful for the care she provided!

Chloe helped us out with a last minute booking when our boarding facility reservation fell through. She was responsive and willing to assist however she could to help us continue with our trip without delay. She has a fantastic demeanor for all dog breeds and sizes. She displays confidence and patience, which comforted us as we left our two dogs for the week. Chloe was respectful to our home and we would not hesitate to rebook!
