Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hartford
“She was AMAZING! She watched our 2 dogs for our wedding weekend and was so accommodating with letting us come get them for the ceremony and bringing them back! She was also fabulous with our very testy rottie. We are forever grateful and so glad our pups were in good hands!”
“Brad provided excellent, attentive care to my dog on short notice. Clear and easy communication at every step. The photos were a nice touch too. Thank you Brad, we’ll hope to board with you again.”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Our pup Maisy had a great time with Madison! Maisy is a shy girl and Madison was very patient and helpful in getting her acclimated and introduced to the other dogs. She had a great stay and came home happy!”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Reyna's first stay with Katy went super well! Katy was quick to respond to messages before booking and sent updates and pictures every day during Reyna's stay, which was much appreciated. It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Olivia was great! Very friendly and responsive, it was super easy to coordinate drop off and pickup and our dog had a great time! Will definitely be using again and would highly recommend.”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“We were in a bind when our original sitter got sick right before we had to leave for my son’s wedding, and Stacy came through for us at the very last minute. She was absolutely wonderful with Sophie, so patient and kind. She sent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We’d definitely love to use her again in the future.”
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have found Heather! She gives daily updates of our pets and sends videos and pictures, which makes our time away a lot less difficult. She truly cares about our pets!”
“We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!”

Cat caregivers near you - Hartford
About: I’ve had grown up with cats and have two of my own, one is 13 years old and one is 1 years old. I don’t mind scooping a litter box, clipping nails, giving medicine, or anything of the sorts. I have cat sit for older cats before and have experience with special feeding instructions as well as giving correct medicine dosage at specific times. I don’t mind playing with kittens or high energy cats (and definitely don’t mind feeding them treats😂)

I am entirely flexible with days and times as long as notice is provided. The yard here is fenced and I love walking! The neighborhood is very quiet and I'm sure your dogs will love a stroll a stroll around the lake.
“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”
About: I've cared for both healthy cats and cats with underlying conditions. For 10 years I had a cat that was diabetic that I had to administer insulin to. My current cat is 15 and requires a lot of love and attention.My cat Mabel is a rescued kitten/ cat almost 16 years ago on Halloween night while coming home from work , about 4 cars ahead of me something went flying out the window . I was able to stop and pull over due to not having other cars behind me . It was very cold that night and the sun was just starting to set . I got out of my car and looked around for a few minutes but didn't see anything and I got ready to leave I hear faint cry and I turned and looked down into some tall weeds and there she was , this poor malnourished kitten crying for help . To make a long story short I got her home and the day my wife and I took her to vet . They kept her for 3 days running ivs into her . We able to come and after 3 days thinking she wasn't going make it. And here she is still with after such a traumatic start to her life . I am very grateful to have Mabel as my best friend and wouldn't trade for the world . I love you very much Mabel .
“Trisch was great! She’s let out my dog Poppy several times while I was at work. She was really responsive and communicative. And my dog Poppy loved her mid-day walk with Trisch. We’ll definitely use her again!”
About: I am available in the evenings and weekends so I can be with your pets at all time and tend to their needs. I have owned dogs my whole life as well as cats. I have also grown up on a farm so I am very comfortable caring for large farm animals as well. I have 2 dogs of my own who are both very dog friendly and 1 cat who sometimes thinks she's a dog but doesn't care for other cats as she was attacked by other cats before we took her in. I love all animals and breeds don't matter to me. Your fur child will be treated and cared for like they are my own! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have long leads, go for walks and go to the dog parks frequently so your pet would get plenty of exercise.
About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have cats of my own, so daily cat care is already a big part of my routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering routine care, and making sure cats receive plenty of attention and affection. I understand every cat is different — some are very social while others need extra patience and space — and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care.
About: Neighbors and family know that they can count on me to take the best care of their cats! After recently getting my own, I have plenty of experience in administering medication. Most people think cats keep themselves and their space clean, but it is very important to keep their area clean for them, whether that is emptying their litter boxes daily or cleaning their bowls on a regular basis.
About: I have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats space when they like a calmer environment. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well.
About: I have a little self-proclaimed homestead with 2 German Shepherds, 2 indoor cats, 3 outdoor barn cats, chickens, and honeybees. My dogs love to run and play outside, so I provide toys to keep them engaged. They love it when I chase them around the yard and play too! They're not big fans of bathtime but we've got to keep them clean! My cats are very high maintenance but I wouldn't have it any other way. Our outdoor kitties are very adventurous! I enjoy finding toys and food they'll love and grooming them. My furbabies require a lot of love and attention, I adore them all and would love to spread some TLC out to the cats, dogs, and any critters in my community. I love caring for all animals! I am constantly caring for my own fur babies morning and night, but I would love to help you out on the weekends as my availability allows! When I am at a clients home, I really like to respect their wishes and care for their animals as they would. I try to go over as many details as possible as far as where they can go on the property and if they prefer the pup to be on a leash or not.
About: With 10 years of professional and compassionate animal care experience, I offer specialized services for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, I am confident and comfortable providing the highest level of attention. (Or pretend they are not there, and just fill their bowl, whatever they prefer!)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hartford
“Debbie did a great job watching our mini golden doodle while we were having trees cut down. Rosa warmed up to her quickly. Will be bringing Rosa over to her house for some overnights this summer.”
“Hanna has been a lifesaver as me and my dog Poppy adjust to the area and with the move! Poppy loves going to Hanna’s and playing with her new friends. Poppy is super anxious around other dogs, but she LOVES Hanna’s pups. It’s such a great feeling as a pet owner to know when I drop Poppy off she’s more excited to be there than she is to be at home!”
“Lucy is so friendly and professional. Bella had a wonderful day and it was obvious by how tired she was upon returning home. I love the fact she had a great time socializing with other dogs. Thanks, Lucy!”
“You can tell the quality of a dog sitter by how warn out your pets are after and my dogs are WORN! Brianne did an amazing job watching them, definitely recommend her!”
About: Big or small, I love them all! 💕 I’ve had pets since I was a small child. I’ve cared for sick puppies & kittens, elderly cats & dogs. I have 3 years experience working at a pet bathing company. There I learned a lot about proper hygiene of various breeds and how to safely handle aggressive pets. I also have 400+ hours of volunteer horse care at an equine therapy barn. I walk my own dog daily and he is high energy. I’m always in search of play pals for him to burn energy with. Let us walk your pup! I love to snuggle my pets & make sure they are clean and bug free. I can bathe and lightly groom your pets when needed. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. ❤️

I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own, with much love and attention.

I have two fur children of my own. I have had experience ranging from puppies to seniors. I have had experience with a diabetic pet who needed daily injections and more attentive care. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs.
“Summer was amazing with Buddy. This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable. She sent use photo updates of his day. She even took him for a walk.”
“We were visiting the area from out of town for a weekend getaway. Our dogs prefer being with someone especially if it’s at an unfamiliar place. We found Jina on rover thankfully and were extremely happy and pleased with her exceptional service. She sent updates/pics and asked specific questions to make sure she was aware of all of their needs and our preferences. We really appreciate it and would highly recommend!! Thank you ☺️”
“Julie and her husband, Joe, took good care of Obi. It was his first time staying with them. Julie sent me a picture and video of Obi having a good time. Their dog Barron was not home to play with, but I think they played with Obi and gave him lots of attention.”

Sand Lake K9’s! I am currently in veterinary medicine as my primary career. Currently working with multiple species including canines, cats, farm animals, and exotics.

“Heather was wonderful with my pup. She was very patient and understanding with a new doggie in her beautiful home. She was also very flexible and responsive. Her pets are also very welcoming and easily welcomed my dog Fiona into their pack. I had a stress free day thanks to Heather!”
About: Intuitive dog/cat mom, I will find a way to any canine heart. I grew up with dogs in our house and was taught to treat them no less than family members, having said that, I need to confess I am the worst person when it comes to disciplining a dog, but if you have some simple rules for your canine companion, I will follow them. My own puppy is seven years old and he is a spoiled little one, but is a gentle and sweet young fellow, his sister is a quiet long haired kitty. I love them both so much. I am an artist and a student at IUSB, but I have plenty of time between classes for long walks and other quality care your pets deserve. I live in a quiet neighborhood, overlooking a small pond, there is a fenced dog yard right outside my apartment building as well as many acres of green lawns to frolic upon.
“Olivia was very calm and friendly. Both with me and Webster. He actually seemed happy when I picked him up. That has not always been the case when he has been left with a caregiver.”
About: I've watched and owned not only a German Shepherd for over 15 years, but also cared for exotic animals, such as F1 Savannahs throughout the duration of my life. I just recently retired from the Army summer of 2023. I'm kind of bored and would love to keep myself busy doing something I love. I own a single family home with a small backyard that your fur baby can have access to. With less than a mile if requested I can walk your dog to the dog park.
About: We had a small dog when our children were out of high school and our world revolved around him. We miss him a lot since he crossed the rainbow bridge but I am lucky to be a grandma to 5 dogs—a Saint Bernard, a chihuahua mix, 2 terrier mixes and a German Shepherd mix. All rescue dogs with some quirky personality traits that make them a challenge and fun. I have also cared for my sister’s senior Maltese and a neighbor’s senior Boxer. Dogs are my favorite animal and I just love spending time with them! I recently retired from being a paraprofessional at a local school so I have a pretty flexible schedule. My husband works on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays so those days I am much more available but he is flexible if I’m working or have something scheduled. We live out in the country and have a fenced in yard so dogs can play and have some fun time running free. Our neighborhood is safe to walk dogs (we used to walk our little guy around the block daily—1 1/4 miles) and there are also 2 parks close by that we could walk if they seem bored with the block.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a Husky/German Shepard mix which gave me early experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding dog behavior. In my teens, I fostered a total of 12 dogs over the years, caring for a variety of temperaments and needs. This experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of all ages as well as training dogs. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years, where I worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. This included feeding, walking, cleaning, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends throughout high school and college, providing dependable, loving care. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently available on weekends and evenings during the week (7 PM-10 PM). Starting May/June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule with increased availability! I provide pet care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their usual environment. I follow all care instructions closely, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and always provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Hannah was great! She was friendly and reliable, my dog loves her! She came every weekday for 3 weeks and he looked forward to her daily visits! She was always on time and we have already booked some more play dates!”
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of animals and I love to care for the pets in my community. Looking forward to meeting the furbabies in my area! Currently I am available to do homestays and drop in to visit to care for cats and dogs and am open to learning how to care for other animals. My cat is spoiled at home with multiple scratching posts and toys. We play ball and string often. He is well fed, has a nice water fountain and we genuinely love having him in our home. I just really enjoy hanging out with pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since the age of 10. Dogs, cats, reptiles, livestock you name it, I’ve had experience with all! I currently have pets of my own ranging from dogs and cats to an iguana and even a peacock named Pablo. Animals to me are family and bring out true happiness even on the days where I feel the most down. I currently work a seasonal position at a Farmer’s Market, so I have plenty of time during the off season to help out with your pets! I am a college student so I do have that as a responsibility but I am good with managing my time, as I do with my own fur babies. Your pet’s safety and well being is at the top of my list! I will keep close watch on your pet(s) and make sure they have everything they need. I also will comfort your pet(s) to make sure they know they are safe and can trust me during your absence.
About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a professional canine trainer, behaviorist, groomer, and full-time caretaker with 12 years of hands-on experience.

I give every dog my full attention, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. Most days, you’ll find us outside soaking up the fresh air—running, playing, and exploring together. And if you ever wonder where I am, I’m probably out back with the pack having a blast. When winter hits, we move the fun into our heated, pup-friendly garage. It’s set up just for them, with turf or rubber mats for comfort and tons of toys to keep tails wagging. No matter the weather, your dog will always have a cozy, engaging, and joyful space to call their home-away-from-home. Your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Our fully fenced-in backyard is designed with your dog’s comfort and enjoyment in mind, featuring pools, toys, water bowls, and all the essentials for a fun and enriching experience.

For dogs who prefer more privacy, we provide private rooms to ensure they have a quiet space away from the other dogs when needed. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment for every dog in our care.

I have worked and lived with dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and abilities and I love them all! I am currently looking for new clients who are looking for mid-day dog walker.

With any dog-sitting services, I also provide regular walks as well as the feeding, caretaking, and snuggling of your pets!

“Shawn braved the December snowstorms several times a day to care for our four little fur babies. She is a true pet-sitting extraordinaire—extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and devoted.”
“From the minute our dog met Morgan I could tell things would go well. Morgan was very timely and sent pictures and details about each visit with our dog Leo. I was out of town and when I asked if she could do a couple of extra things to care for Leo she happily agreed. She is very trustworthy, attentive to details and caring. I look forward to having her help with Leo again in the future.”

“She was AMAZING! She watched our 2 dogs for our wedding weekend and was so accommodating with letting us come get them for the ceremony and bringing them back! She was also fabulous with our very testy rottie. We are forever grateful and so glad our pups were in good hands!”
“Brad provided excellent, attentive care to my dog on short notice. Clear and easy communication at every step. The photos were a nice touch too. Thank you Brad, we’ll hope to board with you again.”
“Luke and his family were exceptional! He was incredibly flexible with accommodations. We were able to leave Rosie and Loki with him in complete confidence that they would be taken care of, and provided daily photos and updates. I would highly recommend!”
“So glad Julie kept our dog for the week. The home environment was so much better than a kennel. We also appreciated the photos and communication throughout the week. We will schedule with her again.”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“Ellie was amazing! We had a last minute trip come up as well as cancelled flights and she was so kind through all the changes. She made sure we felt comfortable with Ember’s first stay there. Even though Ember was there for only one night, she came home tired and happy which showed how much Ellie played with her and gave her attention. 100% recommend Ellie for any dog sitting needs!”
“Our pup Maisy had a great time with Madison! Maisy is a shy girl and Madison was very patient and helpful in getting her acclimated and introduced to the other dogs. She had a great stay and came home happy!”
“Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!”
“Leandra and Mark did an amazing job with our puppy. They are so personal with clients. They took such good care of our baby. I definitely will book again. Their availability is great especially for a puppy. They love playing with the puppy. They treated our puppy like he was their own. I look forward to them watching him again soon!”
“Reyna's first stay with Katy went super well! Katy was quick to respond to messages before booking and sent updates and pictures every day during Reyna's stay, which was much appreciated. It was an added bonus that she also has a dog so Reyna always had a friend around. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“We were in a bind when our original sitter got sick right before we had to leave for my son’s wedding, and Stacy came through for us at the very last minute. She was absolutely wonderful with Sophie, so patient and kind. She sent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We’d definitely love to use her again in the future.”
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“Jenai and Sean were wonderful! This was my first time to let someone I don't know take care of Baxter. They kept me updated and sent several pictures during my trip which really eased my mind. It looks like he loved playing with their dog in their big yard. He was exhausted when I got him home! I highly recommend this couple and will use them again in the future.”
“We love Kevin! This was the 3rd time our bernedoodle puppy stayed with him and he had just been neutered 3 days beforehand but we knew he would be in good hands. Kevin administered the medications and also followed all of the instructions as far as activity level and play. He even ended up having to use a baby gate to ensure safety! We are greatly appreciative of Kevin!”
“Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!”
“Jenny was fantastic watching our dog, Weko. She kept him active and engaged and shared many updates. We are often weary leaving him but she instantly put us at ease leaving him in her care. I would highly recommend Jenny and will book again!”
“Was in town for the weekend and my dog couldn’t stay with me at my hotel but it was fine because she was in great hands with Nicholas!! She is an Akita and she is a rescue so that can be a lot to handle but not for him: he even got her to socialize with his dog. So much so, that when I went to pick her up, they were still busy chasing each other around. Anyone who has dealt with a difficult breed or a rescue knows how much time is needed and I’m grateful!!Thanks again for helping out!”
