“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.”
“Annie is great! We have a very timid rescue dog and Annie was super gentle and caring with her. She sent us photo updates throughout the night. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have had pets ever since I can remember. Growing up, I had dogs, but I have also had birds, a bunny, hamsters, a snake, and many fish so animals have always been a part of my life. I pet sit frequently for friends, family, and neighbors when they are away. I, myself, have one dog (Mr. Beans - border collie/chocolate lab mix) and one cat (Moose - maine coon mix) at home. I work full time in childcare. I typically work Monday - Friday from 6:30am to 2:30pm. Just send me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard that my dog enjoys running around and playing in. While pet sitting at your house, I will follow any rules that you have for your pets to make sure they have a stress free environment and stick to their routine.
“Palma was a wonderful sitter for our Scottie, Pepper! Pepper immediately befriended Palma when she came to meet us, and we could tell Palma was enjoying playing with Pepper. We felt very comfortable leaving Pepper in her hands. While we were away, Palma was very communicative and sent photos of Pepper for us (which I love because I always miss her). She left our house in pristine condition! I highly recommend Palma.”
“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.”
“So happy that we have Alyssa nearby as a pet and housesitter. She was great at entertaining our german shepherd and gentle with our cats. Then went above and beyond taking care of our house while we were gone. Will definitely use her again!”
“Yadira was awesome! Our dogs loved Yadira and we felt so at ease while we were away. Yadira went above and beyond. We would recommend Yadira to anyone looking for a reliable in-home sitter!!”
“Alyanna was available to watch our dog when we made last minute plans and needed to be away overnight. She was wonderful with Maisie. She checked in upon her arrival and sent pictures and kept us updated on how Maisie was doing. We’d highly recommend Alyanna and have already asked her to watch Maisie in a few weeks.”
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.
“Carla was amazing , timely , friendly and kept me informed at all times of how my dog and cat were doing ! She sent pictures regularly of walks and feeding times! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs ! I am so lucky to have found her ! Highly recommend her !”
“Kara was amazing with my three rascals! Lots of pictures and even made a pesky, judgmental chihuahua fall in love with her! I will definitely be using Kara again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I have a real love for animals! For the past 3 years I have been trusted to watch family and friends’ dogs. I’m a true lover of all animals, especially dogs! I’m currently in college to find my dream job with animals, and would love to have more experience working with them. My goal is to hopefully make a career out of caring for animals and giving them the love they all deserve. I’m currently a part-time worker at a dermatologist office. I work Mondays-Thursdays from 8 am to 3 pm. I am available to watch and walk your furry friends after 3 pm those weekdays and available all day Fridays-Sundays. I will do anything that is in your best favor and your pet’s. This includes walking them when they need, taking them outside to play/use the bathroom, feeding them on their schedule, crating them if needed, or simply giving them pets, snuggles, and playtime.
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!

“We feel so lucky to have found Maya!! She gave us so many updates while we were away, and we truly felt like she was happy to be with our dogs. We came home to a spotless house and happy dogs!! We highly recommend Maya!!”
“Haven was absolutely lovely - excellent communication, kind, and a general pleasure to work with. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Jillian was great! Good communication and arrived early which was super helpful. I have a uncommon dog breed and she asked plenty of questions about them to better understand their mannerisms. Would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“It’s our first time using Rover for my anxious pup so we were a little nervous but Allore was super accommodating, kind and understanding. Communication was easy, she’s flexible with her time and willing to adjust to our requests. She’s super patient with my dog (who takes awhile to warm up on people), takes him on walks and updates us regularly! So grateful to meet you, Allore! Hope we can book you as his sitter again!”

Jennifer K.
“I have used Jennifer on several occasions over many years to cat sit for my beloved cat Penelope. Jennifer is not only trustworthy and reliable but is also one of the most compassionate young woman I have the pleasure of knowing. I never worry when I am away because I know Jen will take the utmost care of my girl and my girl absolutely loves Jen. Jen, while watching Penelope, often updated me with messages as to how Penelope was doing and often sent me pics of Penelope sleeping on her lap. I thoroughly trust Jen and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Olivia was so accommodating when trying to help us figure out the exact protocol in which to do this. Not only was Olivia responsive to our concerns, she was so loving and patient with our dogs. I knew right away that this was going to be a perfect fit for our family. Her gentle demeanor,along with her knowledge of animals, really made us feel at ease having our dogs under her care. I am so grateful for the wonderful service we have received with Olivia and highly recommend her!!!!”

Haven was absolutely lovely - excellent communication, kind, and a general pleasure to work with. We will absolutely be requesting her services again!
Aly was so accommodating accepting my booking with short notice. She took amazing care sitting for my kitties and she is super sweet. Will absolutely be having her back!
Talia took great care of our 65 pound lab while we were at an out-of-town wedding. She sent us frequent pictures and it was obvious that our dog enjoyed her being there. She carefully followed instructions we had left.
Are there more stars we can give?! Carla exceeded our expectations taking care of our pup. Our 80 pound goldendoodle runs anxious and Carla clearly is the dog whisperer. She was in touch with us throughout our trip with photos and comments on how Jake was doing. Jake looked happy in every single one (and calm!). She did everything we asked so he was well taken care of. The most important thing she did was give us peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip. We will definitely be calling on Carla 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.
Kindly took a very last minute request, was able to squeeze in a quick visit, and did a fabulous job. Pups were content and happy to have them as company. Easy communication and very nice person all around. I’ll definitely be requesting again!
Saylor was kind enough to take a very last minute booking for me on a weekday afternoon. She responded promptly, communicated well, asked good questions. She was early to the appointment, very friendly and kind in person. (And she’s got cute doggies!) I will absolutely be asking her back.
She was so fun. My dogs loved it, they were so worn out and hardly got up to see me when I came home after being gone for a few days. She’s absolutely amazing.
Fontaine was incredibly punctual and professional. He was amazing with communication and gave us updates on our cat every day. 10/10 would recommend for all your pet sitting needs!
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!
