“Olivia was a stellar dog sitter! My pup King loved her and she was so respectful of our home. She reported updates to us one to two times a day which was truly appreciated while we were away. We definitely will be booking with her again soon!”
“Liz was extremely professional and reliable when she stayed with our dog and high needs cat. We can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Liz!”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous to dive in with a 3 night house sit. Josh made sure to send daily photos of my dog on walks or playing. He left my house clean and without asking he brought in the mail and took out the trash. I already have another service booked with him and would recommend him to others.”
“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
“Super sweet and took care of my fur baby on a last min notice. We had a work trip to Miami pop up and the very next day she was here to help us with Marley. We’re so thankful for her professionalism and prompt reply to our request for a sitter. Extenllent communication and great with Marley. We would most definitely book with Sophia again!!! ???”
“Alyanna mught be my dogs new best friend. She was great with our german shepherd and even managed to win the hearts of our anti social cats. Took great care of the house and sent lots of updates!”
“Took great care of our pup!”
About: We’ve owned many dogs growing and are super excited for the opportunity to be around animals while living in a new state. We've house sat for neighbors, friends and family for a number of years so please take a look at our testimonials. We both have very flexible schedules this summer! Matthew is a grad student and Mary Beth works from home in finance, so we're both available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. We love walking and biking around the West End of Hartford, but we do have cars for extra flexibility. Your pet's safety and comfort are our top priorities. When house sitting, we follow your routine closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for your pet. We’re respectful of your home and aim to leave it just as we found it—if not better. For dog walking, we use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas, and always keep a close eye on your dog’s comfort and energy level. During doggy daycare, your pet will have a calm, supervised environment with lots of attention, play, and breaks as needed. We're happy to accommodate special needs, medications, or quirks—just let us know!
“First time Audrey watched our dogs Bailey and Bella, but it won't be the last. She is a lovely young lady, smart, articulate, and fantastic with our dogs who loved her. Communication was excellent and we loved the daily pics!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
“Carla was phenomenal!! I was able to feel relaxed and comfortable while on my vacation as she tended to my two dogs and looked after my house. I would recommend her anytime and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She is the first dog sitter we’ve ever used outside of family and she did an incredible job of making both us and our anxious dog feel comfortable! We will absolutely use her again!”
“Maggie was great with our two kitties and super responsive even though we booked with relatively short notice. Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Carlie! She was absolutely amazing with my older pup with anxiety. Sent lots of updates and photos on how he was doing and was very flexible with my schedule when I had small changes! Would 100% book with her again.”
“Amber was absolutely lovely! Our regular cat sitter fell through, so we were a bit nervous to find someone else in a hurry. She was everything we needed and more. Very communicative, sent pics and it was obvious our cats took to her quickly. Would absolutely use again in the future. ?”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I had peace of mind that King was safe and catered to every day.”
About: I have a Yorkshire Terrier who is becoming a senior dog. I have cared and walked multiple dogs of various ages for about 3 years now. I am currently an unemployed college student, so taking care of both cats and dogs is my part and full time job depending on the day. I never want to do something that the owner doesn’t like, so I always make sure to follow instructions provided by the owner for their pets safety. No matter what, I always make sure to keep the owner updated on anything positive or negative. Just like putting packages away if there is any, I like to do the smallest things to ensure that not only the owners pets are safe, but to make sure their place is perfect too!
“Ali went above and beyond for our babies. We are so grateful. First time using this service and wish I would have known about it years ago. Would have saved a lot of stress. Will call on Ali every time”
About: I grew up with a dog for the majority of my childhood, and he was such a light in our lives! My fiancee and I are surrounded by dogs in our extended family, but do not have any of our own just yet. I am excited to offer my time and attention to a family who needs an extra hand. I am a full time nanny for an infant, and a student in an SLP Program. I am available for services before 8:15 and after 5:00 pm on weekdays, and full days on weekends if I don't have any prior obligations that I've committed to. We have a small yard that I can bring the dog leashed, and a walking friendly neighborhood in Newington. For the client's home, I am happy to oblige to the systems in place that work for you and your household!

Olivia was a stellar dog sitter! My pup King loved her and she was so respectful of our home. She reported updates to us one to two times a day which was truly appreciated while we were away. We definitely will be booking with her again soon!
It was our first time using an in-home sitter so we were a bit hesitant, but Josh was fantastic. He made sure to ask about our normal routine and what was important to us, and we came home to 2 happy dogs and a house just as clean as we left it, and got pictures, videos, and updates daily.
Jocelyn cared for our 2 active dogs for two weeks, staying in our home. She brushed them, played with them and administered meds to our German Shepherd boy. We loved getting her updates with videos and pictures of them playing and came back to happy dogs and plants which she watered and looked after conscientiously while we were away. We are lucky to have found such a caring and responsible pet sitter who genuinely cares about our doggies, even gifting them with toys while she was staying with them. We so appreciate Jocelyn!
Hector watched our cat and dog while we were out of town, and he was fantastic! Very communicative and helpful with the animals and house. We will definitely be using his services again!
Lusianna watched our three large dogs in our home for a week. She was very sweet and communicative and when we got home the dogs were very happy. She did a great job and we’d love to have her sit for us again!
Brianna was wonderful with our Doberman, making sure she got plenty of exercise everyday. She was also very accommodating to our changing needs. We received happy pictures of our dog daily. It’s clear Brianna loves dogs and we would love to work with her again.
Maya took wonderful care of all of our animals for a week while we were away. She kept in communication with us by sending updates and pictures. Our house was all clean for us when we arrived home, which was really nice! We would definitely recommend her!
Elena was a great sitter for our dog for an overnight stay. She was very responsive throughout the whole booking process, and whenever I messaged her during the stay. She kept our dog active, and sent several pictures of a happy dog. We would gladly book Elena again.
Amanda was a great sitter for our dog, Finn. She was communicative throughout the stay and sent us pictures of a happy dog.
Ali takes such good care of my cats and pup while I’m away for work and I couldn’t be more grateful. I know that I am leaving them in trusted hands when I leave. Thank you as always!
