“Veronica was great with my dog and great with checking in with me. I appreciated that she texted me to make sure my dog would be ok going outside when there was thunder. I highly recommend her!”
“Katie took care of our beloved Paco during Spring break and she was awesome. We got a lot of pictures and daily updates. We would love to work with Katie again 💖”
“Deb is the best, we have two dogs. One senior and one wild 4 year old. She is great with both, very sweet and super reliable. She has helped us twice now and we hope to keep working with her in the future.”
“Vanessa was fantastic with my 90lb pitbull. I was able to communicate clearly with her and she was very prompt with addressing any issues. I’m sure my pup will love to see her again. I will absolutely use her services in the future. Thank you, Vanessa.”
“Jillian is an awesome sitter and have been using her for over a year now. She does a great job, cares about my cat and trust her. Highly recommended!”
About: I have over 10 years experience caring for pets, including my own dogs as well as pets belonging to family and friends. My experience includes daily feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and cleaning up after pets. I’m comfortable with dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I always prioritize making pets feel safe and well cared for! I recently graduated from grad school and while looking for a job, I am currently available on an as needed basis! Available most weekdays and some weekends. I can provide attentive and reliable care tailored to your dog’s routine and needs. In clients’ homes, I can maintain a comfortable and familiar environment by following feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship.
“Brianna went ABOVE AND BEYOND. Within 5 minutes she responded to my initial request, and has been so professional every step of the way. She even offered to come and have a little meet-and greet with Gracie Lou before our official bookings started. Gracie Lou immediately curled up in her arms and fell asleep like a little baby. I looked forward to her picture updates every day!! Gracie Lou absolutely loved her play dates with Brianna and she was one tired and happy pup when I came home. Brianna treats your dog like family, and it showed from the moment she met Gracie Lou 🩷”
“M did a great job watching our cats! They are a great communicator and we felt comfortable leaving our cats in their care! Would recommend M to take care of your pets!”
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’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.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 5. I have cared for neighborhood pets ranging from hamsters to cats/dogs as well as provided medical care to my own pet. I am currently a college student home for the summer and looking to fill time between my summer courses so I have a large availability with lots of flexibility and adaptability. I have very accessible transportation to commute to care for your pets and a knowledge of the area and safe environments to care for pets.
“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.”
“Matthew is punctual and patient with my forever puppy Gracie. We had another pleasant visit with Matthew where my dog was very content with her care. I would definitely recommend Matthew with your fur baby.”

Katie was the best and she went above and beyond taking care of my dog. Unfortunately, he had horrific diarrhea overnight between visits, and he also peed all over the house, something he has only done a few times in his life when he's been sick. Katie did an amazing job cleaning everything up - it was on the carpet, floor and couch. In addition, she hosed him down. She moved her next visit up after that, to be able to let him out sooner. I was able to make last minute arrangements for him to stay with my son. She shouldn't have had to deal with that unfortunate situation, but she was very courteous and concerned. In addition, Katie was prompt, she communicated well, and my dog took an immediate shine to her during the Meet and Greet.
Callan is simply amazing. I was traveling out of state which can be a little scary being so far away from your pets. But Callan put me at ease the entire time I was away. He sent me pictures and updates everyday. The pups love their snuggle time and were always so happy to great him. I will use Callan anytime I am I need of dependable great care for my pups.
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.
Matt and Mary Beth dropped in on Ipo several times over the course of three days while we had long days out of the house. From the initial meet and greet Ipo loved them and we trusted them to take good care of him. They were so attentive and asked all the right questions. After each visit they sent us an update and plenty of pictures of Ipo basking in their attention. Every night when we got home we could tell that he had been taken great care of. He even ate dinner for them no problem, which is sometimes a struggle. We’re over the moon with how well it went and we will definitely be using Matt & Mary Beth in the future!!
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. 😭❤️
Laura has been an absolutely blessing to have around! It’s so important to have piece of mind when having someone else care for your fur child and I always knew my dog was well taken care of with her!! Would definitely recommend choosing her for your pet needs!
Brianna is wonderful! For Murphy it was love at first sight. Great communication, trustworthy, and of course our dogs new best friend. Has been very thorough and made sure to stay on his routine and keep up with his puppy energy. Took cute pictures and kept us updated. We couldn’t be happier!
