“Karinna, you were the best sitter I have ever had. Simba had so much fun with you I guess. Pics you clicked of him being happy made me happy 😃 you cleaned the whole space and kept neat and tidy.”
“Lauren is friendly and reliable!! She sends you bunches of pictures and reports details of how your loved furry family is doing while your absence. Our cat was the same happy girl when we got back home from our trip. Definitely we recommend her and come back to her next time. Thanks again Lauren ?”
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and truly enjoy helping others keep their pets happy, comfortable, and safe when they can’t be there. I have over 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m the person my friends and family trust and call when they need someone to care for their pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s providing companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m happy to help. ❤️🐶🐱 I have plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, playtime, feeding, walks, and lots of love and attention. Your pet will have companionship and supervision while in my care, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your pet can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and loving home environment with lots of attention and supervision. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide so they feel safe, happy, and at home while in my care.
“Tiana did a fantastic job taking care my Nola while I was traveling for work. She was consistent with her communications, sent photos that she took during her drop in visits and formed a solid bond with my cat, through play and cuddle time. I would definitely rebook her again.”
About: I've helped take care of multiple clients and had a dog of my own my whole childhood and have loved taking care of others animals by cooking for them, playing with them and taking pictures! I'm a stay at home mom with 4 and 8 year old kids so we enjoy walking and playing with the dogs. My husband works from home and my brother lives with us at our house, so we have plenty of space and time for attention. i moved into a house three months ago and there is plenty of yard space, a back deck, and room for multiple dogs to have their own space. We live on a cuddle sack, so it’s also great walking dogs down and back.
About: I am new to the pet sitting game, but I am not new to taking care of my responsibilities well. I am a part-time live-in caregiver for my 92-year-old grandmother, and I housesit and pet-sit for my friends. My references are available upon request! I can’t wait to take care of your pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I have more availability to do pet care. I have religious obligations that I also work around. I will not accept jobs that conflict with my work schedule so that I can be there for your pets! I make sure to respect my clients’ homes as my own, and return everything to as it was given to me. The pets are lives that are entrusted to me, and God says that we must take care of our domestic animals, so I take that responsibility, seriously, and religiously.
About: I had dogs for the first 24 years of my life, and believe no time spent with animals is wasted. I've cat sit and roomed with cats in the past and now love them just as much. I've worked with various animals throughout my life, from working at a horseback riding camp, to a pet store, to an animal sanctuary. my weekends are Sunday-Monday. I work as an archivist at a museum 9-5 during the week, but I'm still happy to take evening/nighttime bookings on work days. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals I've been a pet owner most of my life, and an animal lover for all of it. I've worked with animals across multiple jobs in my life. All animals have unique personalities, so adaptation and individualized care is very important to me. My roommates and I do not have any pets currently. We keep a clean and cozy spacious apartment near Elizabeth Park.
“Rebecca clearly loves being with dogs and has been a wonderful supporter of our pup. She communicates in a very timely manner regarding appointments and any potential bookings (even if they don't work). She's very flexible and has helped us even find better ways to work with our dog. We really appreciate Rebecca's patience with us as our pup is quite anxious at times and needs a little more attention to detail than most. He willingness to work with us even in a sometimes difficult situation cannot be applauded more and we really appreciate her!”
“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Five stars! Kira is the absolute best and I cannot recommend her enough. I was pretty stressed about finding a cat sitter for this trip as my two boys are entering their senior years and have some special dietary/medication requirements. I just didn’t feel comfortable trusting it all to someone else for a whole week but Kira put me at ease immediately during our meet & greet. Her prior reviews and former experience really speak for themselves. She understood their significant personality differences and knew exactly how to handle them (which is saying something because one of my boys is very difficult and basically a gremlin in a catsuit). By day 3 of my vacation I realized I had stopped stressing about how the cats were doing because I felt so confident with Kira’s care. She is so communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Also, bonus — she’s a fantastic pet photographer! We looked forward to the photos and commentary every day. Finally, the most important part to me is that I came home to find happy cats who were definitely happy to see me, but in no way seemed traumatized, which is how they usually act when I leave for a few days. She’s truly the best!”
About: What sets me apart is the experience, patience, and individual attention I give every dog in my care. I have experience with puppies, adults, and seniors, as well as basic training, socialization, and administering medications, including insulin, oral medications, and topical treatments. Whether you need house sitting, drop ins, walks, or any other care, I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for the way you would want them to be. My goal is for you to feel confident and worry free while your pet is in my care. I treat every pet as my own and always put their safety and well being first.

My schedule is very flexible, which makes care for your pet easy to plan. They will never be left alone for long, and their routine will always be followed. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether in your home or during walks and drop ins, I provide attentive, reliable care. In your home, I follow their routine to keep them comfortable. On walks, I use secure leashes and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. During drop-ins, I provide potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and medication if needed. If your pet stays with me, they’ll receive structured care, exercise, and plenty of love. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for!
“Jen was fantastic. She handled my sometimes not so well behaved cat perfectly and took some awesome pictures. Responsible and communicated well- would love to have Jen watch my cats again sometime.”

About: Hi all! I’ve been pet-sitting since very young (age 10), having experience with various dog breeds and sizes as well as cats. Feel free to reach out so we can connect! I currently work per diem, so I have plenty of free time to care for little ones. I tend to have open availability, even for last minute requests! I am very open and able to follow any requests concerning your little ones. I understand that every pet is different when it comes to their needs, so I am very accommodating and willing to learn how to best care for your baby!
“Jannette and her partner is wonderful. I love the fact that they are always in communication about how my dog Venus is doing on a walk. They take great care of her.”
About: I provide loving, attentive pet care, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining routines, exercise, feeding schedules, individualized attention, and clear owner communication. (Bilingual) Habló español Pet care fits into my routine part-time and per diem, allowing me to dedicate quality time, flexibility, and focused attention to each pet without feeling rushed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I keep environments clean, safe, calm, and provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
About: At home I've been taking care of Ramsey, my small, high-energy, dog for almost 9 years. In these 9 years I've gained a larger a sense of responsibility and my love for animals has grown tremendously. I know how to communicate with dogs and read dog body language in order to cater to their needs and give them best care. As a recent graduate, I have more flexibility in my schedule, I can dedicate ample time to caring for my pets. This includes feeding, grooming, walking, and spending quality time with them to ensure their well-being and happiness. Engaging in activities like playing, training, and companionship not only enriches their lives but also brings a sense of purpose to my day. While job hunting, I find solace and a sense of responsibility in taking care of my pets, creating a positive and fulfilling routine amidst my current situation. At home I make sure my dog cannot access anything that can harm him. I close doors to the bathroom so he can’t access the trash can and I put gates up around the house to areas he can’t be in. During walks I am very careful and aware of my surroundings. If I walk at night, I walk in a well lit area with a few friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Windsor
Best sitter in the Hartford area — super flexible with timing, very responsive, and took amazing care of my pup. You can really tell Ifan genuinely loves dogs and make them feel comfortable and safe. I appreciated the constant updates, photos, and how accommodating they were with scheduling. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter in the Hartford area!
We lucked out with Erin and so did our dog. Our dog is not used to being with people she doesn’t know, but Erin made her feel very comfortable. Erin’s photographs and report when she left were reassuring and made us feel comfortable as well. This was our first experience with Rover. Erin’s positivity with our dog and attention to our requests exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Erin and would definitely work with her again.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
