Natasha's dog sit went brilliantly - two happy dogs and one happy owner! Communication beforehand and durning the day was excellent and Natasha send some super photos. We were out for the day and the dogs were relaxed and happy on our return and the house was clean and tidy. Highly recommended.

Colin and Cris are fantastic. We have just returned from a 2 week holiday overseas and they looked after our 5&1/2 year old Sprocker Eddie. I get concerned about leaving him as he’s a nervous boy as was born during Covid. However Colin and Cris have been amazing with him and so I have been confident while being away that he’s been so well looked after and really happy too. They gave him lots of different walks each day, played with him and gave him plenty of cuddles. We were sent lots of photos and videos while we were away too which was so lovely to receive and so reassuring of how happy Eddie was. I totally recommend Colin and Cris to look after your pets. They are a really lovely couple who look after your dog and their needs incredibly well but also look after your house really well too. We will definitely look to book them again. They’re amazing 🤩 Thanks so much Colin & Cris 😊

We couldn’t recommend Annabel enough! She looked after Ralph for us over a weekend in August in our home and was brilliant from start to finish. Ralph can be a little nervous around new people, so Annabel was more than happy to arrange a few short visits beforehand to help him get comfortable with her. He took to her straight away, which immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the weekend, Annabel kept us updated so we knew Ralph was happy and well looked after, and we came home to an absolutely spotless house. We would definitely recommend Annabel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Annabel again!

Alfie was terrific. He stepped in at less than 24 hours notice fir a week’s stay looking after our two dogs when a longstanding arrangement fell through. He was responsive from the first communication and throughout our time away sent regular updates and pics of the dogs, who clearly were devoted to him. It was reassuring to have the dogs and house in such cheery hands, and hope to book him again.

Couldn't be happier with India's service! We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our senior dog Gabby overnight as she's recently gone blind and is still adjusting to our new house. We knew right away that we didn't have to worry as India was very calm, patient, and understanding. She sent me frequent updates and pictures so I could see how Gab was getting on, and we came home to a very happy and well looked after pooch. Highly recommend and will certainly be booking again in the future!

About: I’ve been looking after the fur-babies of my friends, family and colleagues for as long as I can remember. As a child my family have always had dogs and cats as members of our family. I love the opportunity play and snuggle. This is how I spend free time: cuddles with my two kitties who my husband thinks I love more than him… no comment. I am currently a part-time teacher so I’m always free on school holidays, weekends and Mondays. I’m going to be leaving soon so I will have lots more availability . In my experience pets are happiest in their own environment where they feel comfortable and safe, which is why I am happy to offer in-home visits, where I can feed/play/walk with your pet.

About: Every pet's situation is unique. Prices listed are very basic. I will work with you and make sure your needs are met. Don’t worry, talk to me, I may be able to adjust the price so it is affordable and reasonable. I will always follow your rules and provide your pet with the absolute best care possible when you're away. I am always on time and will never cancel short notice. I am someone you can rely on. I try to keep your pets routine as similar to yours as possible, and do things with your pet that they enjoy. My husband and I were members of a different house sitting site for some years and have really enjoyed our house-sits so far and have had no complaint with may repeat stays. We own our own home and house sit for family & friends, feed neighbour's cats, walk and feed their dogs, feed and clean rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. We would look after your animals and home as if they were our own, watering the garden etc. I work full time as a legal secretary, so currently can ony take sits where the dog may be left during the day, or I am happy to sit at weekends. A new place and people is always stressful for your dog or cat so I understand that most people would like to have their animal looked after in their own home where they will have a routine as this helps them to relax as they know what to expect from me. I will always put your pet first. I work full time so currently am only able to sit for animals that can be left during the day. I am happy to sit weekends. Unfortunately I do not board dogs or cats at my house but am very happy for you to bring your Bunnys in their hutch round

Kieran was great with our old boy Tinker, and was a very considerate house guest. Being new to Rover we were a little worried having someone we didn’t know in the house but he gave us plenty of pupdates, left the house clean and tidy with great communication. We would be happy to use Kieran again as Tinks was very happy when we got home. Thank you 🙏🏻

Absolutely fantastic! One of dogs is extremely nervous and Johnnie went the extra mile in the run up to our holiday making sure she was comfortable with him and when one of the others caught his dew claw he organised the vet and the treatment immediately. The dogs absolutely love him and the peace of mind of being able to go away and not worry was priceless! I would not hesitate it booking Johnnie for our next trip.

Ben was really great, he came beforehand to meet our dog and go over everything. He arrived early and survived a bit of a mauling from our Collie when he first arrived. He’s very good with dogs and is clearly very comfortable around them. We felt in very safe hands and will definitely use him again.

We had booked KaYan for dog sitting in our home for two days, and they did an excellent job. They were very willing to meet us twice beforehand so they could get to know our dog - he’s a large dog, so this preparation meant a lot to us. They were thoughtful, understanding of both his needs and ours, and handled everything with real care. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned, and the house was left exactly as we’d hoped. We’d book them again without hesitation.

Jiahui was fantastic! Riley is a difficult dog, but she managed to become his friend very quickly. He had a great time with her. I got lots of updates, pictures, so I had a very good time as well, knowing that Riley is in such good hands. Thank you very much, Jiahui and Rover Looking forward to our next meeting!

Jo took exceptional care of my boy, Benji, while I was on holiday. He was happy, content, and clearly well looked after. The photos she sent really showed how much she cared for him. Before the stay, Joanna even took the time to visit and get to know Benji on his terms, asking thoughtful questions about his needs—and meeting every one of them throughout. I would absolutely recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Benji would too—especially as he thoroughly enjoyed his unlimited carrots!

Jess was great. Really friendly and warm and as it was the first time I’ve arranged a house sitter for the dogs using Rover, she completely settled any nerves when she came round to meet the dogs before the stay. The dogs seemed to be really happy when I returned so clearly they got a lot of care and attention. Will definitely be going to Jess again! Thanks

Meg is such a fabulous house/pet sitter and looked after both our house & Maisy with the utmost care. In fact I think Maisy was a tad disappointed when her boring owners returned as she’d had such a good week of adventures! You’re a superstar Meg, so thank you!

Louise was very good with sitting our parents’ dog for our wedding. They got on fantastically as soon as they met and she was very helpful and flexible to meet all of the requirements we needed from her. We would strongly recommend Louise to anyone that needs a sitter and would absolutely use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Harborough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Harborough on Rover is £37.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,420 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harborough. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Harborough walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harborough choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
