I’ve had Veronica sit for my 3 cats a few times and she does an amazing job of keeping me updated through photos and messages. It’s so reassuring to have someone so sweet and thorough watching my cats while I travel. Highly recommend booking with Veronica!

About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.

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 had dogs and cats my entire life growing up. I have experience both taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. Since October 2025 I have been a puppy nanny for the cutest Wheaton as well as watching his senior siblings. In this position I was responsible for training, sitting, and walking the puppy and have recently ended this position due to moving to West Hartford to attend graduate school at UHart. I have also gained experience cat sitting for a coworker when she is away on vacation. I am currently starting my first summer semester at the University of Hartford so I am looking for opportunities mainly on the weekends but I am also available most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays later in the day. I will be able to provide care in any living situation/setting based on your instructions to provide the best care possible for your pets.

About: I am a former United States Marine, retired law enforcement officer, firefighter, and paramedic with decades of experience protecting and caring for others under pressure. Throughout my career, trust, reliability, situational awareness, and compassion were essential parts of the mission, and I carry those same values into pet care today. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, companionship while you’re away, medication support, or attentive overnight care, you can feel confident knowing they are in calm, capable hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone entering your home and caring for members of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and senior pets. My background has taught me patience, consistency, and how to stay calm in unexpected situations — useful skills whether handling an energetic shepherd, a stubborn bulldog, or a cat that operates like a tiny furry insurgent. I provide attention, cuddles and playtime for your fur babies- Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a retired Marine and first responder, I'm accustomed to maintaining a structured schedule and being dependable. I have the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. If pets stay in my home, they will be treated like family in a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in their own home.

This was Jordan’s first time watching our cats Aki and Haru, and we could not be more pleased. Jordan is an excellent communicator and made the process easy for us every step of the way. We loved getting pictures of the kitties, and they seemed to love having a visitor! Jordan made them feel comfortable and cared for. We are so grateful for Jordan’s help and would absolutely recommend them for looking after your furry friends!

About: My family has had dogs since I was 8 and I have always been the one to feed them, take them out, and play with them. I also have always been relied on to care for pets of friends and family. Dogs have been a source of happiness for me my whole life and I would love the opportunity to take care of other's dogs and bring joy to the dogs. I currently am in medical school at UConn and start back up the beginning of September. Thus, I would be able to care for the dogs after work and on the weekends. I am excited to fit caring for dogs into my weekly routine. I will care for pets in the client's home by following all instructions carefully. I will be sure to abide by all rules listed by the client and the organization to be sure that I effectively and safely care for dogs.

Samantha was so warm and attentive as a cat sitter! She included many pics of our 4 babies and I felt like they were perfectly safe when we went on our trip. She was also understanding when we had to end our trip early due to an injury. She'll be our go-to for any trips in the future :)

Veronica went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable leaving my cats for a short vacation. Beyond feeding them and cleaning the boxes, she spent time with them and got to know them, which made them feel more comfortable. I would recommend Veronica for any pet sitting needs anyone may have. She’s a very sweet, kind, hard-working person.

Haoran was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to take care of our cats. I truly can not thank her enough. Not only was so great at communicating, she was so understanding of our situation with our rescue cats. She also cleaned more then she had too/more then what we ever expected. I can not say enough how nice it was to come home to a clean house and cats that were happy and healthy and to be stress free about it while away. 😭❤️
