House Sitting In Hartford

About: I’m a travel nurse without any animals who wants to love on yours! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old, up to 3 dogs at a time. I trained my puppy while I was in high school and have loved on dogs through their old age as well. I worked at a doggy daycare for a few summers while I was in college. I work 10 hours shift during the week, however I am free in the evenings after 6pm and have one free day during the week. I am always available on the weekends. I understand that all dogs have their own routine, needs & quirks! I am very thorough with the care I provide and will love them like my own! I have experience in dogs with medical needs such as giving them oral meds & injections as well as post-op recovery care.

“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Joselyn was great, stayed at our house for 8 days with our 4 furbabies, the dogs acclimated so well to her and the experience was fantastic. I hate leaving my dogs for a long time but after day 1 I felt much better. She keeps in contact often with photos and videos, I think I missed the dogs more than they missed me! Shd even dealt with a barely put together house that we just moved into, and crappy weather from the Nor'easter. I appreciate that so much!!The next time we are leaving town, Joselyn is my #1 person :)”

“Maya is truly amazing, so loving and patience with my spoiled boy Armani. She is the only pet/home sitter I will be using for the future. She will take care of your home and pet as if they are her own. I highly recommend Maya if you are looking for a reliable person!”

About: I have fostered animals (mostly cats) for two years and have cats of my own. I have experience caring for cats and dogs from 10 weeks to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals at a time. I have experience in giving dogs and cats medication. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, coordination of care, waste management, and pet enrichment. I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, and 1 guinea pig (thankfully not all at the same time!). I also have experience in working with farm animals (horses, chickens, ducks) and rode horses for a few years. I’m currently a full time special education teacher and I’m available in the afternoon/evening and on weekends. After June, my schedule will be more flexible and I will have additional availability during the summer months. I have 3 cats of my own (Boo, Sam, & Taylor) and 1 step-cat, Cleo (she does not live with me). I love working with animals and look forward to caring for yours! I currently work full-time as a teacher and will be more available during the summer starting late June to late August. However, I will be available afternoons and on weekends. Pet safety is extremely important to me. Since I’ll be caring for animals in your home, I’ll collaborate on any safety concerns on the property or in general. I’m able to easily crate dogs and I always walk dogs on leash. I ensure that all exits and entrances are properly closed so that pets don’t get out. I also don’t allow cats outside. I will also coordinate with you on if there are any local environmental concerns (nearby construction, a door in you home that sticks,

“Katrina took great care of my dog. She provided updates throughout the house sit. I will book Katrina again!”

About: Dogs, cats, and additional pet species, oh my! From young creatures to oldsters, I will work to keep your pet(s) healthy and happy with food, exercise, and love/attention. I work freelance, so my schedule tends to be flexible. I imagine doing morning, mid-day walks, or evening dog walks for clients in the neighborhood. I will not be using my own apartment as a dog sitting venue. Instead, I can take your pets out or visit/stay in their usual homes to make sure they are taken well-cared of on a case-by-case basis.

“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

“Sophie house sat for our almost 2 year old pup Leo for the weekend and she was wonderful! Sophie is especially communicative and provided such peace of mind while we were away from home. Even when challenged by Leo with a sleepless night, Sophie was understanding of the adjustment for Leo and maintained a great attitude. We would use Sophie again without hesitation and look forward to relying upon her services in the future!”

“Carissa was awesome during a 3 day house sit! she was so patient with our little guys and they love her!! She sent tons of pics/videos and updates and was really communicative with us. She was also really flexible when we let her know beforehand that one of our doggies had just started limping right before we left. It was an extra cute/sweet touch that she left a little drawing of the doggies. Highly recommend!!”

Ruben M.

“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”

“Julia was an incredible house sitter for our 3 critters at a short moment's notice for a five day stay. She's responsible, communicative and even helped me with a few things while I was gone (helping with the plumber and a FBMP sale). All of the animals seem healthy and happy and she left my house super neat and clean, just as I left it. Thanks for all your work, Julia!”

“Emma was trapped in our house during the blizzard (we got 30+ inches) and extended while we were struggling to get home from vacation. Thank you!”

Brian C.

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
