“We had to book a last minute sitting for our dog whilst we were out for long periods during the day and Natasha was such a huge help. Her responses to messages were so quick and she even helped me navigate the website as I had made an error with my request. My dog Buffy immediately made a new friend when they met and photos that Natasha sent me me showed me Buffy was having the time of her life with all the love and pets she got x Thank you again x”
About: - Studying as a vet student allowed me to bring insight into your pets health and well-being - Have owned a dog for 10 years, and cats for 12! - Volunteered in the Middle East caring for stray animals, which has let me gain valuable experience with nervous cats and dogs - Months of experience at a vet practice has allowed me to shadow professionals in their kind & compassionate care for your animals - Genuine love for animals, with experience in both small and large. My timetable is dependent on the week. I usually have mornings free and I’m done by 5 pm every day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off. I am heavily invested in ensuring your pet feels secure, safe and loved while you are not there to be able to care for them. I am patient and passionate about animal welfare. I have a dog and cat myself so am able to complete all tasks necessary to look after them. I have experience walking both small and large dogs.
“Both cats very happy on our return, very relaxed. Can’t recommend Meg enough, Cattin hair pulls when we are away, but the both times we have used Meg this has not happened.”
About: I have a Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management that includes a first aid course. I help my boyfriend run his successful dog day-care business, (open 10 years this year), which has had many different breeds and temperaments of dogs. From Dachshunds to Ridgebacks. I have experience with boarding at home for pre-existing clients, and I am branching out to offer sitting in your own home. I have specialised in nervous and anxious dogs in my dog grooming business. I work from home as a dog groomer, and so working for myself means I can work around your dog's needs. Ideally I would work on bringing them to work with me, but only if I was sure about their safety and happiness. For cat or small animal visits, I would discuss with you what your normal routine is around feeding and socialising with them and mirror what I can to keep them as calm and reassured as possible in their own home. I have my own car that is suited to transport cats and dogs . I have carriers, collars and leads as well as contacts at 2 different local vets. I am aware of some very safe dog walk locations. I am used to medications and dietary requirements as well as physical needs (one of my dogs had a metal plate in his legs and then eventually had it removed, another has had issues with her cruciate ligament) I will also not post any information on social media about where I am or who I am looking after until you are already back from your holiday. I will obviously update Rover whilst you are away and stay in regular contacts so that you have peace of mind. As I am also a god groomer, I can continue any grooming routines you have and may be able to sneak in a cheeky bath, face tidy and nail trim if you needed it.
About: I am a paediatric nurse by profession and have a lot of free time around shifts! I have two cats, my indoor cat Cleo and outdoor adopted cat Norman! Myself and my partner dog sit for Bear a 7 year old Pomchi semi regularly but I am looking to meet some new furry friends I work shifts, normally 2/3 a week and on my days off have no strict routine! I have a lot of free time and am looking to fill it! I enjoy getting outside on my days off and long walks would suit me perfectly! I am comfortable caring for dogs from puppy to elderly. Have 3 years experience with a feisty PomChi who has both on and off lead time which I am comfortable facilitating. I have two cats, both indoor and outdoor! Am comfortable handling cats and have taught mine to be happy cuddling and being picked up! I love to fuss and play and am also happy clipping claws and administering meds if needed
About: I have had my own dog - Ethel, for 13 years (she’s an old girl) so I have personal experience in looking after dogs. I’ve also looked after family cats and dogs when family have been away. I love being around animals and know what makes them tick, you can trust me to take good care of your pet. I have experience volunteering at an animal rescue centre which has brought me a lot of hands-on experience in looking after dogs and cats. I have a big passion for animals but have not been able to make it a full-time career! I look after animals when I’m not at work, so weekends or in the holidays for extra income. My bookings will fit around my full-time job. I decided to pursue this as I have always enjoyed being around animals and caring for them. Safety and trust is key when I make bookings. I always meet the client and dog first to ensure that we are a good match. I always ensure that my clients are happy with the arrangement and ensure they know about me and my background before bookings take place. I only currently do sitting in the owner’s home but can walk wherever needed. I always keep owners in the loop when I am sitting or walking their dog, or when looking after their cat.
“Veronica was fantastic and reliable for looking after our cats and keeping them in good company and care. She was able to work short notice, had excellent communication, so highly recommended!”
About: I have been raised on a farm, with dogs, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, one turtle and even a goat. I love all creatures small and big, except for spiders (terrified of them). Since I was little I took care of the animals mentioned above, I had dogs, cats and rabbits as my responsibility. I would ensure they are kept alive and well taken care of including, grooming, feeding and walking. I also occasionally help with my friend's dogs (pug and Yorkie), but they do not need me as much just for occasional walks and feed. I have recently pet sat for a Main Coon for a week, and I was responsible even for administering medication. I do not shy away from that and I am happy to learn if that is required. I would like to assure you that taking care of pets is not just sitting with them and keeping them fed and walked. It is much more for me. I believe that all pets need attention, and they need to be played with actively. I work full time, however, for three out of 5 days I work from home so I am able to look after your animal, including going for walks during lunch time. I also am happy to have your pet in my bedroom whilst I work. I am available over the weekends as well , and happy to help. I do not mind early mornings and late evenings either. I have a fenced garden in my house, so your fur baby can have plenty of space to run around. I am happy to follow any instructions given by pet owners when in their house so that their pet receives the best care. I do not deeply leave them to be (unless that is how they prefer to be) I like to play with pets and get their energy out if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs since very young age as we used to have dog as a family. I used to take it for a walk, play with it and bath it as well. I am curently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend time with your fury babies. I am quite flexible and work when needed. We live in a beautiful village, we dont have a back garden but only 2 minutes walk we have a big park with lots of space for your baby to run around and play fetch.
About: I have had my own dogs for over 30 years and I am also a professional dog groomer. I currently have 2 female Cavapoos of my own. I am available for dog walking I am available for dog walking and drop in visits 7 days a week and this is my only job so can work around your schedule. I have a fenced garden and 2 small female Cavapoos of my own. I am able to crate your dog if required and accommodate any other needs
About: I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and happy while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved I’m taking a break from my career to focus on happiness — and what better way to do that than spending time with animals I adore. I care for pets in their own home by keeping them happy, following their routine, giving plenty of love, playtime, and attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away
“10/10 service. Zoe was incredibly accommodating and adjusted our booking a few times to suit us. Was a last minute booking and she was still happy to take us. Great service, I was so nervous leaving my baby Scout with a new person but Zoe exceeded my expectations and really put my mind at ease. She goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: Growing up in a home that was never without paws, claws, or wagging tails, owning and caring for animals hasn’t just been a hobby for us—it has been a lifelong way of life. Over the years, we have loved and raised eight wonderful cats, navigating everything from the delicate care required for pregnant felines to raising newborn kittens. Our canine experience is just as diverse; we have looked after a wide variety of dog breeds, ranging from energetic small pups to powerful large breeds. Currently, we are the proud owners of a gorgeous American Akita, a breed that has taught us deep patience, precise communication, and the art of managing large, strong-willed dogs. I am full time at home so have plenty of time to keep your pets to your set routines and give them the care they require We have a large back garden that is fully fenced and secured off. We stick to your exact routine and their dietry requirements as well

There are 822 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harborough. About 89% of Harborough sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
