“Can’t thank you enough for the love and care you show our fur baby while we are away! From being afraid to take a vacation and leave our dog at home, to now being able to enjoy our vacations whole heartedly knowing that our boy is in great hands. Thank you for being so flexible! Strongly recommend to anyone!!”
“Jillian gives me so much peace of mind while I’m traveling. She takes such good care of my fur babies and always goes above and beyond. My two cats (one very cranky LOL) both love her and I love all the pictures and detailed Roger Cards she leaves for us. I’ll book with Jillian every time I travel.”

About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
“I had good experience with Abby watching my kitties over Thanksgiving weekend. She did everything as I asked, no complaints. She replied me in timely manner and was able to watch my cats on really short notice.”
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.
About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
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!

Brittany A.
“Brittany did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our dog, Halee. From the moment we met her, we knew Halee would be in gentle and capable hands. Brittany followed Halee’s routine down to a T—from feeding and walks to playtimes in the yard—which made Halee feel safe, happy, and right at home. Every day, Brittany sent us thoughtful updates with photos and little anecdotes that truly captured Halee’s personality. That made all the difference while we were away—we could relax and enjoy our time knowing Halee was content and well cared for. Brittany’s calm confidence and loving attitude put both us—and Halee—at ease. When we returned, the house was tidy, and Halee was so relaxed she didn’t even notice we were gone. It’s clear that Brittany not only provided excellent care but also genuinely bonded with her. We can’t recommend Brittany enough—she’s professional, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
Frank D.
“Frank looks to care for dogs as his own. He will provide loving and adequate services for your beloved pet. His level of responsibly will uphold him to the highest level of care for your animal.”
Matthew W.
“Matt and Mary Beth are the most caring pet sitters we know. They are very attentive and really follow any special directions we may have with our Bennie. We would highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed. Trust worthy, punctual and caring!”
Parkville pet parents share their Rover experiences
We highly recommend Madison. She is reliable, communicative and just so easy to work with. Our dog and cat both have some additional needs (separation anxiety, medicated food, etc) and she did a great job understanding them and keeping them calm, safe and happy.
Leah did a wonderful job with Sachi! She is prompt, responsive, and obviously cares a lot about animals. The regular updates and photos eased my worries about being away from my senior girl. I came home to a calm and content cat - and a nice clean litterbox! I would happily book with Leah again, and I hope I get the opportunity to!
Another wonderful visit with Marissa! She took great care of my dog, Goose, and communicated well through updates and pictures. Goose has a new medication since the last time she watched him, and she communicated about when it was administered. Finally, she went above and beyond to make Goose comfortable when there were fireworks and loud noises in the neighborhood. Appreciated her!
This was the first time that Talia has sat for us and we were pleased with the experience. She was punctual each day and did everything we asked of her. Julie is very shy, but she did greet Talia each day and seemed OK in the pictures Talia sent us, which was very reassuring to us. We also appreciated the daily updates from Talia.
Our dogs LOVE Brittany! It’s been absolutely wonderful to find a sitter we trust and feel comfortable letting into our home while we’re away. It’s given us so much more freedom to travel knowing we have a reliable and responsible sitter loving our dogs!
Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.
Sarah was INCREDIBLE! We got daily updates, an amazing blog post, and SO MANY PHOTOS. Raimi was not just cared for, she was loved. Sarah is very communicative and kept us updated about the time of her visits at all times. I know Sarah will be our go to for whenever we need to leave Raimi (as long as she’s available, of course).
