Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Harlow

“Mia is the best. She brought out the clown in my somewhat shy kitty. And, she is a real pro when it comes to glamorous pet pics. I will definitely book her again.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”

Jeremy S.

“Erin immediately made my cats feel comfortable and cared for. She is AMAZING! For the first time sitting for my 2 cats, I thought it would take awhile for them to warm up. It was instant. She has a wonderful way, takes great photos of the drop-in visits. I knew I could relax on my trip; everything was perfectly taken care of. I HIGHLY recommend Erin!”

Judy I.

“Julia is amazing! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and cats. She sent me updates and pictures on every visit and I definitely appreciated that. She is the best and I strongly recommend her! ❤️”

Patty B.

“We booked Karina to watch our cats during a ~2wk trip. She took such good care of them even though they hid under our lounger most of the time 🤭 She made sure they had all their favorite things and you can tell they were happy to be playing because their favorite toys were all used while we were gone! We came home to two happy kitties and couldn’t be happier about the peace of mind that came from Karina’s great care and daily updates!”

Dannie Lynn F.

“Bailey was so sweet with my old man poppers and his crazy anxiety ridden cat sister! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. She's very knowledgeable and is very good at keeping in communication about your pets!”

Tina P.

“Yumeko was great! She was very response and made sure Linus (my cat) felt comfortable. I would definitely book her again!”

Kayla N.

“Hayden was timely, and always had thorough updates with pictures. A reliable service and gave me peace of mind while I was away. This was my second go round and I’ll be back!”

Alissa A.

“Dana was very attentive to detail and did everything my pup needed! Would recommend and would use her again!”

Mary S.

“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”

Danielle M.

“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”

Michael V.

“Jennifer has been walking my dog weekly for over four months now and he loves her! She provides pictures every time, but more importantly, he is tired every evening afterward. She knows the area and takes him on great long walks. She has also made friends with the cat who warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Jennifer for being so wonderful with Jasper and Diego!”

Maggie T.

“Siobhan was great with our three kitties and agreed to sit on short notice which was a lifesaver. She gave great updates and even dealt with some unexpected clean up needs. Would definitely recommend!”

Jacqueline R.

“It was a quick and simple visit, but Caitlin went above and beyond to take care of my kitties. She spent time with them and even sent me pictures of them eating their food. Top notch sitter!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I know how much your pet means to you, and I treat every animal I sit for like one of my own. I have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities — whether they're energetic and need a lot of playtime or shy and just want some quiet company. I love getting on the floor and actually playing with them, not just watching from across the room. What sets me apart is that I bring the same attentiveness and warmth to pet care that I do to working with kids. I'm active, outdoorsy, and happy to take dogs on long walks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I work a part-time remote internship, which means I'm home a lot and have genuine flexibility throughout the day, no rushing in and out between a packed schedule. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a dog walk, or an overnight stay, I can give pets the time and attention they actually deserve rather than squeezing them in as an afterthought. Being active myself means dog walks are something I look forward to, not just check off a list. Pet care isn't a side hustle I picked up randomly, it’s something I've been doing since I was a kid sitting for neighbors' cats, and it fits who I am. I love for animals to be a part of my daily routine whether I'm working or not. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or yours, my approach is the same: calm, attentive, and consistent. In your home, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible. I know that familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats or anxious pets, so I keep things predictable and low-stress. I treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels secure and settled the whole time. In my home, pets get a quiet, relaxed environment with some great perks, I have a front lawn and live right next to a park, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time and a great spot for a game of fetch. I work remotely, so I'm present throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I'm careful about introductions and always make sure any pet in my care has their own space to decompress if they need it. In both settings, I stay in close communication with owners, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I take emergencies seriously, and will never hesitate to reach out if something feels off. Your pet's safety and comfort is always the priority.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life dogs, cats, lizards, even goats! I’ve trained my dogs since they were puppies and have lots of experience with large breeds and senior pets. I’ve also been around cats for as long as I can remember and understand their different needs. Whether it’s energetic pups, shy cats, or unique pets like reptiles, I treat every animal with love, patience, and the same care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I truly love doing. I have a car for reliable transportation and flexibility, and caring for animals is my main focus. Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety will always come first with me I’m here to give them the best care possible, just like I would for my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their normal routines, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel at ease whether that means belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet company. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their needs and give them the same care and love I’d give my own pets.

About: As a professional dog groomer, I bring a calm, confident energy to every pet I work with, whether they're full of zoomies or need a gentle touch. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, including seniors and pups who are still learning the ropes. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, and I know how to make pets feel safe and cared for. I’m especially good with anxious dogs and can provide a spa-like level of patience and calm. Whether it’s giving meds, brushing out mats, or making sure your dog’s routine is followed to a T, I’ve got it covered. Your pets will be treated like my own—with love, respect, and plenty of snuggles (if they want them!). I have been a dog groomer for 8 years and counting! I am very familiar with dogs and their body language, needs, and health. I tend to like animals more than people. I would love to get some exercise with your pup or stop in and give some loves. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. We can also work around my schedule :) Thank you for taking the time to read. I work Friday through Monday but can always stop in before and after work. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am available for walks before and after work as well. When I care for pets in their home, I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments—my own pup, Bennie, is a miniature poodle who’s full of energy and personality, so I’m used to regular walks, playtime, and keeping up with routines! I love offering drop-in visits and dog walking because it lets pets stay comfortable in their own environment. I make sure to follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, respect your home, and give your pets lots of attention and care. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you know your furry friend is in good hands. Walks are paced to your dog’s comfort and energy level, with safety as my top priority. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers a short, relaxed stroll, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and loved.

About: I've had pets since I was born. Cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, and age. I've spent the last 14 years with my soul dog. He was a Golden/Lab/St. Bernard with a lot of anxiety and a huge love of food. In his old age he had mobility problems, incontinence, was on several medications, and needed as much attention as I could give him. I am fully prepared to give any animal I meet the same level of love and care. I've been the main care provider for my dogs for the last 14 years and always put their needs before mine. Taking them potty is the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. Furry friends rely on us for care and I want to make sure they are doing great. When I care for pets in your home I will follow your instructions to a T. Make sure they get lots of love, cuddles (if they like them), and attention.
