Dog Sitting Harwinton

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I took animal science in High school and worked in dog related jobs for about 5 years. I currently have five of my own fur babies. 3 pups and 2 cats I currently am out of work for the summer and I have open availability. Late August I will return to work as a preschool teacher and will be available evenings and weekends. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, following all the requirements that you set up before hand. Giving your dog all my attention and love.

“Tara is so professional and reliable. Her warm personality comes shining through. This is the second time Tara looked after our very shy cat, Charlie. We came home to happy cat. Charlie's space was tidy and clean. My husband and I have every confidence in Tara. We cannot say enough positive comments about her. We will ask for Tara every time we go away.”

“We are so happy we had Anna to take care of our two dogs! She was very easy to communicate with and dependable. She took great care of our two large dogs, and they seemed very happy when we returned home. Would recommend her and use her again!”

“Katie took such good care of my kitties! She stopped in prior to our scheduled pet sitting to meet my cats, which was much appreciated. She did everything I asked, and made an effort to give my kitties some playtime, even though they were being shy. She provided lots of pics and feedback after each visit, which I love to see, as I worry about my girls when I can’t be home with them. We will definitely be using her services again! ?”

About: I grew up with dogs. I had a Great Dane that lived to be 12. I currently have a mini bernedoodle that is almost 5 years old. I also have a bunny. I currently work full-time and am available on Saturday and Sunday for boarding and dog walking. From late June through August, my schedule is more flexible. I will be available daily. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac with a fenced-in yard. I have a very friendly mini Bernedoodle. I love dogs that play and lazy dogs that just like to chill.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for people my whole life. From shitzu’s, to lab mixes. I also have two rescues of my own who I’ve worked very hard with to make comfortable and feel loved after there trauma. I am currently a full time teacher so I’m available mostly weekends. Come summer time, other than a part time job I’ll be available often. I have two high energy dogs who love to play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but it is large with woods all around. We also have a lead set up for dogs who are a flight risk.

“Meaghan was incredible babysitting our, at times, difficult and needy cat Ashley. Despite a few growls and a hiss at first, Meaghan kept earning our cat’s trust with each visit which is a huge success when it comes to our kitty. Having Meaghan watch our cat while we were away helped our stress levels immensely and I will certainly be hiring her for our next trip.”

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

About: I've grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I also volunteered at a cat habitat, where I helped clean, care for cats of all ages, support adoptions, and keep the space safe and comfortable. I'm patient, reliable, and really understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I also have close family members who work in grooming, so l've learned a lot from being around that environment. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I’m free all day! I have no other commitments. I am available and ready to begin, anytime and any day. I’m available as soon as 8am and as late as 10pm, and can do overnights! When caring for pets in a client's home, I try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter cleaning, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules. I'm respectful of your space and understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I'll keep things clean, pay attention to your pet's behavior, and send updates and photos so you know they're safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a mix breed, Marley who is my little sunshine. I enjoy hiking, running and watching cartoons with him haha. I know what its like finding someone who is trustworthy to care for my dog when I need to travel for work or personal vacation. It can be a bit stressful looking for a good sitter but I can assure you that your dog will be in good hands.

About: I’ve always treated dogs like part of the family, not just pets. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a home environment where they get real attention, affection, and care…not just supervision. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is comfortable, loved, and well cared for. They have a huge back yard to enjoy running around with their tongues hanging to the ground lol! We usually bathe them outside before heading in on hot summer days. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day. This allows me to give consistent attention, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of supervision to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for at all times I currently have three small, well-socialized dogs who are friendly and enjoy meeting new dogs. Any dog in my care becomes part of our routine and is treated like family. Our day starts around 6 AM with the first potty break, followed by consistent outdoor time every 3–4 hours. I have a backyard, so the dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor play, along with daily walks for exercise and stimulation. I keep a structured but relaxed environment. My dogs are on a routine that includes feeding schedules, treats, and basic obedience reinforcement like sit, stay, and lay down. This helps create a calm, balanced atmosphere where all dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and well-managed home where your dog feels like they belong

“Hey, I just wanted to give a big shout out to my new pet sitter Madeline I have an old big GreatDane named Murphy Usually, I can make it home for a little break midday to let him out, but work has been crazy lately.I always feel bad that he might be stressing about going out to the bathroom midday. So on a whim, I started researching Rover Sitter’s I really thought it was going to be a process I figured I would reach out to one or two sitters a week and do some meet and greets So I found Madeline on Rover and, she looked kind and caring, and I liked the reviews from legitimately caring pet owners So I reached out to her on Friday, she got back to me within seconds, and suggested that we meet on Saturday Wow, never thought it was going to be that quick I thought I’d have to wait and wait and wait for responses So we plan to meet and greet and I told her that my house was a little hard to find, and GPS always messes everybody up I explained to her what my house looked like Come Saturday, she arrived early, explaining that she wanted to make sure that she found my house I was impressed that somebody was very considerate of my time She came in my house and she was very calm and spoke quietly to him , which is exactly what he is used to I explained my concerns to her and how he was getting older and I worry about him. She had told me how she just recently lost her 13 year-old dachshund, and she understood how hard it is to lose a dog , I was thinking in my head , her dog must of had had a lot of love and good care if it live to be 13 years old so fast-forward to today when she did the drop in visit She sent me pictures, and she sent me a “ Report Card” She told me that she took Murphy outside and then they came inside and she just sat on the couch with him, and petted him and talk to him. Well, that’s exactly what I would’ve done with my old man. I don’t have to look any further and I don’t have to interview any more people because Madeline is the one! I appreciate her sensitivity, her promptness, her pictures, and her report card Thank you, thank you so much, Madeline, you are the best and I appreciate you so much”

About: Hey, I’m Anissa! I have always been a huge animal lover! I currently have a cat but I adore all animals and will treat your pet like they are my very own. I have fostered many animals and have also volunteered at animal shelters so I know that I am qualified to care for your fur baby. I am very loving and playful with all animals and whatever the task, I will do it with the biggest smile on my face. Also, I speak English and Spanish, just in case you speak one better. I currently work full-time but am free to do drop-ins and boarding on the weekends, as well as drop-ins on weekdays after 6 p.m. Working on making this my full-time gig! I will stick to their routine, keep their space clean, offer TLC, monitor their health, and keep you informed. As well as lots of pets and treats (if allowed) for your pet!

About: I live on a farm with lots of animals and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. I love both cats and dogs of every age — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — and I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet will enjoy plenty of room to run, play, and explore, but they will always be under my watchful eye. Safety and comfort come first here. The farm is a calm, natural environment where animals feel relaxed, loved, and at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make sure they have a happy, safe, and fun stay! 🐾 I’m a part-time student and I live at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spaced out, so I’m home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life on the farm, so your pet naturally fits into my routine. They’ll never be left alone for long periods — I’m either outside with the animals, studying at home, or right nearby where I can keep a close, watchful eye on them. I care for pets in a calm farm environment with plenty of safe outdoor space to explore and play. Pets stay inside our home with me and are treated like part of the family — no kennels unless requested. I keep a close, watchful eye on them at all times, whether we’re inside relaxing or outside getting exercise. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible: meal times, walks, play style, treats, and any special needs. I’m used to caring for both high-energy pets and slower senior animals, and I adjust activities to what makes your pet feel happy and secure.

“We were so happy to find Marissa! She was loving, responsible and developed a wonderful rapport with all our cats. She has great instincts and is an excellent communicator. I can’t say enough good things about her!”

“RaeLynn has been such a blessing. Tribe has major anxiety due to trauma he suffered as a puppy, As a result he requires a lot of patience and honestly he just needed someone to see the sweet and loving boy that he truly is. I was really nervous to try rover, but reading RaeLynns profile I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands given her experience and training. And I was absolutely right. We ran into a few bumps along the way but through each step Tribe was treated with patient understanding, love and kindness. I am so grateful and will 100% be contacting RaeLynn for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much”
