House Sitting West End

“Yadira did a great job for us and our dog Colby liked having her take care of him. We really appreciate her help! We high recommend Yadira!”

“Carol did an amazing job with my dog Dobby who is anxious and has issues with meeting new people and reactivity. Carol clearly has a lot of knowledge about anxious and reactive dogs and lots of good strategies for handling them. Dobby warmed up to her quickly and seemed quite comfortable with her after only a short time. Carol gave frequent updates with photos. She was also a great house guest and left everything very clean. We definitely hope to be able to have Carol sit Dobby again in the future!”

“Callan was wonderful with our deaf and special-needs dog (she has megaesophagus). He was always prompt getting back to us, and proactive with his communication. He was on time and sent many pictures! Our little one doesn’t warm up to everyone, and she really likes Callan! We will use him again if the need arises!”

“Margaret was wonderful! She shared so many fun experiences with our dog Daisy while she sat her at our house. She took her to the beach for the first time and played the entire time! We definitely recommend her!”

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.

“Maya was calm and professional, and approached my senior Chi with great care and compassion. Her expertise was apparent and she respected our pets routines and our home. I would highly recommend Maya!”

“Katie takes excellent care of our senior pets (2 cats and 1 dog). Everyone stays on their usual schedule, including medication, and they’re in a great mood when we return home.”

“Brook Lyn did a great job! She took excellent care of our dog and provided us with lots of updates and photos! We felt really comfortable going on our trip knowing that she was taking care of our dog and house!”

“Amelia was great staying with my parent’s dog (Lulu) for the night. They had been trying to find someone for occasional overnight stays and are happy with Amelia’s care for Lulu”

“Claire did a great job keeping me updated with how my dog was doing and adapting to change. Plus my dog really warmed up to her. She made me being away a lot easier than before!”

Jessika R.

“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”

“Jen house sat for us for nine days and took care of our lab mutt Jamie and two cats, Remy and Lily. She did a wonderful job taking care of our furkids and followed my long list of instructions :). One of our cats is almost 16 and wasn't feeling well for a few days prior to departure. Jen gave her extra attention and got her eat her meals. While we were away our kitty made a full recovery and is back to her old-young self! Jen sent pictures and updates daily and our furkids really enjoyed being with her. Toward the end of her stay even Lily was sleeping in her bed along with the other two, and she never does that with just anyone. Jen truly understands owner and pets needs and she goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy. We will definitely be booking our petcare visits with her in the future :).”

“Detail oriented, thorough, kind, excellent planning and foresight, just awesome! This was my first Rover experience at the time of my booking I had an elderly dog and three cats, we had not gone on vacation in years due to our dog having arthritis and other health issues, but we had gotten her to a point where she was doing really well and we felt we could leave her with someone. I needed someone who could administer meds, live at the house and be otherwise highly attentive to her needs and our cats. I had about given up on some of the people I’d spoken with on Rover, I just didn’t feel comfortable with anyone. Enter Jillian. In our initial texts I got a very positive vibe and immediately liked her. We hadn’t even met yet but I could tell she was a gem. When she came to the house to meet our pets she was aces and again I instinctively knew she was going to be great. Since our meeting our dog very suddenly passed away and when I let Jillian know her response was compassionate and she gave me some time to figure out what we would do. When we spoke again we decided on two visits a day for the cats and she sprang into action to adjust our booking. Jillian was every bit as great as I knew she would be and even surpassed my expectations. This woman is thorough, she thinks ahead, she looks to solve issues even before they happen. We had a snow storm while we were gone and she made sure she got to the house. We received daily photos of all of the cats, who by the way hide from strangers all the time, but not Jillian! I think she’s a cat whisperer of some sort. She was on time for her visits, left the place clean, took her shoes off to walk around the house, so thoughtful!! On prior vacations when I’ve left my pets I always notice they’re a little ‘off’ when I return, not with Jillian. They were very much themselves which speaks volumes. I highly highly highly recommend her. We are already booking another trip because this was the first time in years that I really relaxed and didn’t feel any worry about the pets.”

About: I have four rescue dogs at home, and I truly understand the joy and challenges that come with caring for them. Since I'm studying online, my schedule is quite flexible, which allows me to balance my commitments. I'm looking for some extra cash to support my education, and I believe this opportunity is a perfect fit for me. Staying active is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’d love to combine that with my passion for caring for animals. I do school online therefore my schedule is very flexible, I can make further arrangements as needed. I am open to anything really don’t hesitate to ask! I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I recognize how important it is for dog owners to feel that their pets are well cared for, especially since dogs are fully dependent on us.

“Eneida was great with my dogs and very responsive. She constantly provided photos and updates and I appreciate all the effort she put in to taking care of Rex and Oscar.”

About: I have experience with dogs, working at a doggy day care for about 2 years. I learned a lot of skills from that role, like patience, how to handle aggressive behavior and de escalating situations between dogs. I also did some grooming as well (baths & nails trims) and administered medications. I have a free schedule for the rest of the summer so I'll be available pretty much any time until late august. I’m available every morning and evening, except Sunday mornings but are available Sunday evenings and afternoons for dog walks. Morning times are open to your preference but I’d say about 7am-11am and in the afternoon-evening 12pm-6pm. I am also available for overnight stays for as many days as you need! I would make sure to understand your pets individual needs and clarify those things with You before sitting. I like to know what the schedule is so I can adjust accordingly. I'd make sure they are fed and walked and played with.

About: I have been a pet sitter for 5 years now, with dozens of clients who frequently teach back out to me to watch their pets again. I have worked as a veterinary assistant as well as a kennel attendant for two summers and have a significant amount of experience caring for pets and their various needs. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I also have experience working with reactive dogs insuring that your dog will be fully comfortable with me while you are gone. I am a student at the University of Hartford, so Monday through Thursday I would be stopping by between classes spending as much time with them as possible. Friday through Sunday I have no classes and so would be able to spend nearly the whole day with your pet. I am comfortable working with any sort of home from apartments to fenced in back yards. I am also fully commited to caring for your pets however they are used to being treated. This includes unconventional meal times, specific schedules that need to be followed and more. I also have experience working with animal medication and would be able to give your pet any medications they need.

“Just amazing! First time i’ve ever used non-family to cat sit and i will 10000% book again. Was so kind and great with my cat. Cannot recommend enough!”

“I think this is like the 10th time we have used Michelle. She is so responsive, updates you all the time with photos of your fur baby and she even does her best to accommodate your last minute changes. Thank you so much Michelle, we have more trips planned this year, so will be sending those requests soon!”

Christina Y.

“Recommend Triba to watch your pets. She made sure my dog was well cared after and taken on a walk. No issues at all. Will use her again”
