About: I've worked in the doggy day care industry for 8 years where I've led play groups of up to 30 dogs at a time, administered medication for senior/ill pets, assisted with training, and worked with all breeds & ages. I work remotely so I am very flexible to be with your pet throughout each day, and can adjust my schedule around the care of each of my clients. I am available for drop-in visits, daily walks, and overnights where I stay in the home. Different pets require different levels of exercise & interaction, so I always do my best to meet the needs of the pet within my capacity.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve helped care for neighbors’ pets over the years and have had my own dogs for the past three years, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family. I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and routine, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what makes each pet happiest. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable—and I always treat every animal with the same care and affection I give my own. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., but I dedicate my evenings and weekends to pet care. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s an evening walk or a weekend drop-in, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. When I’m taking care of someone’s pet, my goal is to make them feel completely comfortable and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible; mealtime, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! I live just a short walk from a dog park, which is perfect for safe play and getting some energy out. I also enjoy going on neighborhood walks or spending time outside if your dog prefers a calmer pace. Every pet is different, so I make sure to adjust to their personality and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping them active, giving extra attention, or just being a friendly face while you’re gone, I treat every pet like they’re my own.
“This was the first time I booked Le'Andra to do daily check-ins on my cat Gabby while I was out of town. She was great! Le'Andra always stayed in communication with me by text. And she did her best to still take care of my cat while also dealing with the storm and very cold temperatures we recently had. Le'Andra is nice and very friendly. I would definitely request her again the next time I need a cat sitter, and would also recommend her to anyone considering booking her on Rover.”
About: I have been a pitbull pet owner for 25 years with multiple dogs. I work from home and can provide the best care and attention to your pet. I work from home and love taking walks around my neighborhood. I am a trusted professional, and mom who can be depended on to meet your pet's needs. I believe in walking dogs and playing frisbee. Getting good exercise. I'm highly dependable to meet your needs. My dog loves her belly rubs. She loves being outside in our big backyard.
“Marissa helped us out in a crunch, and took excellent care of our pets! She was timely, provided details of her visit and my animals, and sent such cute photos! My dog and cat her happy and safe in her care. I’d absolutely rebook her to watch my pets, and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I have taken care of animals for 15 years and I am very passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I grew up with both cats and dogs and so I am able to take care of both. From pugs, mastiffs, labradors, to cats, I can do it all. I give medication, deep-clean litter boxes, play with you pets and overall make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time employee that works nights (5p-2a), and so I have a lot of free time during the day to take care of your pet. I always get up early to make sure I’m taking care of me and my cat’s needs and am able to extend that care to your animals as well. When I do a drop-in visit, I always do a sweep around the main areas of the house to ensure that everything is in order. For dogs, my main priority is to take them out, check their water bowl and play with them to make sure they have the care they need for the day. For cats, I will always check their litter boxes to see if it needs any scooping, I will also check their food and water bowls and fill them up if needed. Like dogs, I will respect their boundaries and play with them to ensure they’re comfortable.
“Jill was super communicative, punctual and sweet with my baby boy! I was able to coordinate dropping off my keys and picking them up no problem. Jill took really cute pictures of Lather and followed all my instructions. No hiccups or last minute change of plans. Would 100% recommend!!”
“I am extremely happy with Joanna! My dog, Loki had a fantastic time and he was just as happy as he usually is, I could totally tell by the pictures she sent me all the time. I am very grateful for the time she spent with him and how well she took care of him. I will definitely have her stay with him again in the future.”

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! Matthew is an PhD student and Mary Beth works from home, 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!
About: While my experience is mostly with seniors, I love and have experience with all age ranges. I've also cared for dogs that have had some medical issues and am super attentive to all my fur babies. I currently work full-time, but my hours are extremely flexible. I am in office Thurs-Sun, but my work day can end anywhere between 8am & 3pm. If I have pets in my home, I do provide a bed, feeding bowls, snacks, toys, and a lot of affection. I have a private park across the street as well as a fenced in backyard, depending on what the needs are. I am also located near Bushnell Park in case some extra running around is needed. I am good at giving medicine, if need be.
South Green pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison was a blessing to me and my two cats. Her calm and caring demeanor helped my two rescue cats to relax and warm up to her within a few days. Any concerns were addressed right away and she kept our place tidy. She followed all the instructions I left. When I had to extend my time away, she was able to help. Madison, You are a beautiful and caring person. Thank you again. You relieved my anxiety during my tough time away and for this I am grateful!

Jill did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was very professional, attentive to any requests as well as the special needs of my youngest and treated my kiddos with love and care every day, including the days when the elevator gave out in my apartment complex. I was initially concerned about a sitter because my eldest is very skittish around strangers due to previous bad experiences with others, but I was surprised to see that she warmed up to Jill right away. 10/10. If ever I need to have a sitter for my kiddos again, I'll be calling Jill.
We absolutely loved Jersey! She was incredibly sweet, took her time with Paisley and followed all of our notes perfectly. It was clear right away how much care and attention she puts into what she does. Paisley adored her which meant so much to me and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. I’m so thankful we found Jersey and will definitely be using her again!
Samantha is the best! She is a true animal lover and the next best thing to being there yourself! She always goes above and beyond to make sure that my cats are well cared for. This time included during bad weather and one cat having additional health challenges. I can't thank her enough for her help to be away briefly during a difficult time!
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.
