About: I have always grown up with cats and have had my dog for 7 years. My love for animals, especially dogs and cats, runs deep. With years of experience puppy sitting and caring for my own pets, I provide the best care for your furry friends. I have time this summer in between school and am looking to make money this summer while also doing something I love- spending time with animals. My dog loves fetch and running around the yard and playing with toys, and I'm willing to bring my dog with to keep your pet company and get a puppy playdate! She is super good with older dogs and knows how to play very well. My cat is also a fan of the laser toy and its a good way to get him moving and have a good exercise after napping all day!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, and even reptiles—so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of pet personalities and needs. My fiancé and I currently have five cats, and they keep life fun, active, and full of love. I have a deep compassion for animals of all kinds and all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also taken in several strays over the years, helping reunite them with their owners or finding them safe, loving homes. That experience has made me especially attentive, responsible, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I truly value time outdoors and believe regular walks and activity are key to a happy, healthy pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. I work part time as a massage therapist this leaves lots of times available for in home pet care. My schedule can be open more then what days/times I have on my profile. Currently I'd be coming to your home to care for or walk your pet. If needed I could possibly board. I do have 5 cats, they sleep most of the day.

“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”
About: I have a big heart for animals and love to make sure that they are well taken care of. Animals are very special to me and I believe they need the best service. During my week I go to classes in the morning and I work remotely in the afternoon. I enjoy exercising so if I am able to go for a walk after work that would be ideal. When I take care of my parents dog I make sure that he has water and food throughout the whole day. I love playing with him when I can and I put him on a leash and walk him outside when it is time for him to go outside.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hartford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hartford.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartford. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
