“We had only just moved house so I was worried about leaving our old cat for a long weekend but Natasha was brilliant. I had daily updates that our cat was eating and drinking which was a relief. I’ll definitely be using Natasha’s pet sitting services again in the future 😊💕”

“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 owned dogs and cats all my life, Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, making sure they are fed and walked and played with. I have worked with all breeds and temperaments. I worked in an animal shelter for a total of 2 years. I'm currently working full time however I have Mondays and Saturdays off and on other days I only work from 8am until 3/4pm so have plenty of time in the evenings to play with your pets. I will make sure to follow all instructions given may that be feeding at a certain time or in a certain way or playing for certain periods of time. Any house rules etc. will be followed exactly.

“Absolutely fabulous. Communication before / during and after was amazing. Very informative and put me at ease. As the first time I was using Rover. Isabel me a video immediately as soon as she met Bev - and Bev looked so so happy to see her. Highly recommend Isabel for your fur baby visits. Thank you. xxx”

“James was responsive to messages and was able to accommodate us at short notice. He completed a meet and greet ahead of our visit times for our 9 week old puppy, and I felt instantly assured. He sent us pictures from the visits, and everything went smoothly. It really took the stress out of us leaving Darla for the first time. We have since rebooked James for ongoing visits. Thanks again :-)”

About: I had my own dog - Ethel, for 14 years, 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!”

“Aurelia was great! Came to meet Luna and discuss plans day before scheduled, kept me informed on her visits and Luna looked almost sad that it was me coming home and not Aurelia coming in again! Will certainly keep you in mind for future bookings, thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs since childhood, including Border Terriers, Boxers and Dachshunds. I’ve raised them from puppies and love each dogs unique personality and character! I’m currently undertaking a part-time postgraduate course online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to look after your dogs. I’m mostly available on weekdays during working hours and would love to spend time with them. I have a secure fenced garden and several parks right behind my house, providing plenty of safe space and enjoyable walks for your dog (s).

About: I have experience caring for family dogs, including regular walking, feeding, and overnight stays. I’ve also looked after my grandad’s dog in my own home, so I’m confident keeping dogs comfortable in a home environment. I’m very reliable, organised, and active, so I enjoy getting dogs out for walks and sticking to their usual routines. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs out for walks and sticking to their usual routines. I’m best suited to dogs that are comfortable being left for a few hours during the day, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care when I’m with them. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I will always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking schedules, and any specific needs your dog may have.

“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I booked Anita to do daily house visits for my two cats while I was away. She was so attentive to the instructions and took such good care of them. They looked so happy and well taken care of in the daily updates / photos she’d send. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. She even did extra visits for me / stayed longer hours at times to keep them company when I asked . She would also message me straight away if she felt anything was off, such as they were eating less, seemed bored etc and she would be willing to whatever was needed to make sure they were okay. I had such a great holiday, didn’t have to worry about the cats at all, as I realised they were in really good hands!”

“Carla was a wonderful and caring sitter for our two kitties while we were away on holiday. Both of our cats seemed to absolutely adore her--and you know how picky cats can be about people! I personally loved her for her meticulousness in learning about our cats and commitment to caring for them precisely as requested. She was also very responsive to all of my messages. One of our cats is quite finicky about her litter and is prone to accidents if everything isn't exactly to her liking. This same cat also developed some tummy trouble that required adjustments to her diet, keeping a close eye on her behaviour after meals, and checking the house at every visit for signs that she'd been ill. Carla sent us daily updates on this cat's health in addition to her regular updates via Rover Cards, which really helped to put our minds at ease while we were away. We highly recommend Carla and will absolutely be looking forward to having her care for our pets again in the future.”

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

Yes. There are up to 2,413 pet sitters offering care in and around Harborough. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
