Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in South Meadows, Hartford, CT

“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: I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Silky), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.

“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!”

“Samantha offered excellent care and attention to my little kitty. My cat is not one to snuggle with just anyone. Samantha worked to engage her and to give her the cuddles while I was away. She communicated and offered nice pictures of my little girl. She helped when a last minute issue led to a couple of extra days. Thanks for Great care!”

“Madison was gracious enough to accept a very last minute request! Excellent communication, very nice, and easy to work with. Yana and Wiyon say thanks!”

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.

“I had a day trip into the city and needed someone to stop by my house to take the dogs out and be with them for a short period of time. Thankfully Joanna was able to help out and allowed me to be gone for most of the day. Nice to have someone who is responsible and can be trusted. Thanks again Joanna!”

“Brianna is fantastic! We trust her to take care of our fur babies while we are away!”

About: I grew up on a farm with all animals, big and small — experienced with young, old, & “difficult” pets. Also comfortable administering medicine and handling emergencies with care. I love animals and care about respecting their boundaries and listening to their body language to develop trust. I have a work from home schedule, so I can spend as much time with your pet as you want! I enjoy the opportunity to get out of my home office :) I’m well-versed in understanding and responding to animal body language and indicators of stress or medical emergency. I keep a careful eye on every pet I’m in charge of, and I firmly believe in following the instructions given to me because you know your animal best.

About: i am a certified animal lover experienced across species. you can ensure i am truly dedicated to the care and well being of your beloved fur baby. I am available early mornings and evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I am transitioning in an effort to open my availability for more pets! i have a large apartment that is very safe. I have a camera in my apartment with live access directly from my phone and keep everything pet safe at all times (no plants, organized, etc). When approaching new clients, I am gentle and respectful of their spaces.

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.

About: Since the age of three I’ve always been around pets! Ranging from alligator lizards, to German shepherds to pigeons in a shed! I became a member of PETA at the age of 10, it’s true lol! P.S. I only signed up for the cute calendars! ❤️🐶 I am a college student, however, my early afternoons and evenings are typically open! During that time, I’d love to care for your fur child!! My backyard is fenced in for safety. For overnight services especially, I will reach out to the owner beforehand to gain insight on how to best make your furry loved one feel as safe and comfortable as possible!

“Zoe is lovely! She was able to watch Yana and Wiyon on shorter notice which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be asking back! Thank you 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of different types of animals for friends and family all throughout high school as well as helped another friend who uses Rover. I’ve taken care of animals including hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, and lizards. I unfortunately can’t house animals because of apartment rules but can provide frequent care, check ins, and over night care for your pets! I’m currently a part time student at a local college. Im in classes 3 days a week so I’m available most days of the week and every nights! While inside a clients home I’d treat it like my own, clean any mess made, lock doors and windows, feed and walk dogs, change cat litter, as well as any task a client ask be done.

“Communicated a lot and amazing with the pup!”

About: I have helped train multiple puppies, and currently care for both a senior dog and a 5 year old very large dog as well. I have cared for pets in all settings, from a college residence hall to a several acre farm. I work a corporate job that allows me to work from home two days per week. This allows for a more flexible schedule and daytime visit during my lunch if necessary. Weekends I generally spend with family or with the animals I am caring for! I do not take pets into my home, as I do not own my home, however I would be more than happy to go to your home, or allow your pets to play with mine if you’d like. My dogs are gentle and fun, and have never had any issues with other animals or people.

About: I have been on a mission to help take care of animals since I was 10 years old. I have experience with almost all breeds of cats and dogs, as well as some reptiles, fish, and birds. For a while I was working in different shelters before settling in a veterinary clinic. I had a great interest in and have gained a lot of experience, knowledge, and understanding with animals who display behavior challenges. I have experience in basic bathing/grooming of cats and dogs, as well as giving medications. I am familiar with muzzle training if that is something you are doing. I am a fur mommy to 5 dogs myself currently which include a Staffordshire mix, a Boxer, 2 Beagle/Pit-bull mixes, and a tiny Pomeranian. I am eager to meet your animal(s) and lend a helping hand! I currently work at a Veterinarian Clinic usually 4 days a week from 8am to 5pm. I am available on my lunch break if its local to my job, after work hours most weekdays, and most of the day on my week day off and weekends. I am available to come to your home to provide services. I can also drive drive your pet to any appointment you might have for example a grooming appointment. I can take your pet to a dog park, sniff spot, or area of your choice for a walk/hike/swim.
