House Sitting in Harwinton

“Theresa was great with my tiny puppy (14 weeks)! I came home to a very happy and calm pup who had clearly had a wonderful afternoon. Theresa is a real pro - I’m new to this, and she was extremely helpful explaining potty training and leash weights.”

“Where to begin… This was a wonderfully, amazing experience working with Robin so much so, I selfishly don’t want to share her! Like other Rover.com users, I was nervous using this service for the first time. When Robin’s profile appeared for our dates, I knew right away she was someone special. In fact, special is an understatement. Robin cared for my 2 rescue fur babies AND my home as if it were her own. She went out of her way to come by the house twice before we left for our trip in addition to stopping by when we returned to check in with us and say “farewell for now” to our dogs. We are legitimately going to miss Robin as she quickly became someone to confide in about my worries with the dogs and leaving them. I could not have felt more comfortable while away, so much so, I could have been away longer knowing how well my two babies were taken care of. She checked in every single day, both morning and night and sent pictures all throughout the 8 days we were gone. She trudged through terrible weather, including 2 snow storms, without any hesitation because Robin was that dedicated to her caretaking. Both of my dogs loved her AND her husband who is equally as compassionate and loving as Robin. One of my dogs is very nervous around people but he instantly fell in love with Robin. It was amazing to see how well both my dogs connected with her when we first met. It was even more amazing to see how excited they were when Robin came to visit after we arrived back home. I am so grateful for Robin staying at our house and being there for us when our flight was majorly delayed too. I can’t say enough good things about Robin and her position as a Rover.com sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Robin to anyone looking for a regular, weekly pet walker and/or a house sitter. I would also like to note that one of my dogs is on a strict medication system and Robin was so diligent in making sure she received everything she needed on the correct days. I am truly looking forward to working with Robin again. Robin truly is a rarity in the way she cares for both animals and people. I feel privileged to have met her and like I stated before, both my dogs and my husband and I will miss her.”

“Katie was absolutely lovely, and the pets got on with her really well. She sent through updates and photos, and made sure we felt comfortable (all on a holiday, too!) -- thank you Katie!”

“Zachary was so kind and conscientious of my older dog. Stayed a couple of nights and took great care of my home. Also, I came home to a calm dog and a clean home. He also gave me some great advice on end of life for my 17-year-old boy.”

Kellie S.

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”

Peyton W.

“Nina was great. She stayed at our house for the week with our two dogs and you could tell by the pics they loved being with her. When we got home music was playing and the bed was stripped and in laundry. Would highly recommend.”

Liz E.

“Jared stayed over night with our dog Moose. He was very communicative, sent constant picture updates and was also very flexible on timing. He made sure Moose was well taken care of. We will definitely use Jared for any future needs for Moose.”

“This is my first time using Rover or requesting dog sitting and I wasn’t sure if someone would care for not 2, but 3 little dogs for one day… especially my first dog who barks anlot and is reactive a lot to the point when I worry he may not like anyone except family. Well, color me surprised when Drake came to meet and great the day before the booking and my 1yr Chipin took a quick liking to him and the other two! Drake was very professional and kept me up to date on the dogs and didn’t hesitate to ask questions and reply in a timely manner . He respected not only me, but my dogs and home. He was very flexible if something came up on my end and I appreciate the photo updates of my dogs snuggling up with him because I knew they were taken well care for. Thank you again and I will definitely hire again!”

Bridget B.

“Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰”

Caroline E.

“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two labs (one is a puppy!) at our home. She was very easy going and easy to work with. When we got home the dogs were happy and quite tired! I would definitely use Elizabeth again!”

Robyn M.

“Wish we could give ten stars! Marisa was so attentive to our dog with special needs and looked after everything at the house. This was the first time in three years we were able to go away without worrying. Such a blessing!”

About: I had a childhood cat named Sophie since I was born. We grew up together and she was definitely the reason I knew I wanted to work with animals because I enjoyed helping them so much. I have experience in an extremely busy environment both at an ER and at a dog daycare. I loved working at the Vet and can’t wait to get back to it! I’m on a break from school and want to keep working with animals but give myself a small break from schoolwork and animals are the best mental health tool. I can’t wait to get to know your baby and create a safe, fun and loving environment for them. I am currently on a break from college until I go do my practicum experience at Penn vet hospital is philly. I’m not working during the days right now, I spend them with my cat and would enjoy having a fun baby to take a walk with or just play with! I have a long haired tuxedo cat named juliet. When i’m home from school we have a lot of fun during the day since my family works. She’s so sweet and never fails to make me laugh or to catch random zoomies mid nap. I feed her in the mornings and clean her litter box during the day.

About: I’ve always been comfortable with dogs of all types. I grew up with dogs and have spent my whole life around animals, so caring for them feels natural to me. I’m calm, confident, and make sure to adjust to each dog’s individual needs so they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I work full‑time during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings and evenings to take care of your pet. That gives me plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, or whatever they need before and after work. Mondays are my completely open day, so I’m available all day then for longer visits or extra care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels genuinely cared for. I pay close attention to their routine and what they need, and I make sure they stay comfortable, happy, and relaxed the whole time they’re with me.

“Clare did a wonderful job watching Lasha! She stayed in touch during the day, sent photos, and left the house in great condition. Recommended!”
