“Super happy with the service provided by Emily! She cared for our six month old kitten for a week, ensuring she had plenty of food, fresh water, a clean litter box and lots of playtime and cuddles! Emily sends an update after every visit, together with photos and videos ☺️”
About: I've always had pets from cats to dogs etc. I have plenty of years of experience with training and caring for pets from a variety of ages. I am currently working remotely, therefore I am available most days of the week and can work most hours! From early morning to late evening. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fairly large fenced garden, maintaining privacy. Your pet will not feel anxious as it is a peaceful area with minimal disruptions, so your pet can relax.
“Yasmin looked after my two Bengal cats for a week while I was away on holiday, and I was really happy with the care she provided. As it was my first time using a cat sitter, I was a little nervous, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She kept me updated throughout the week with messages and photos, and was always very responsive whenever I had a question. She took great care of the cats, played with them, and made sure Smudge received her daily medication. When I came home, the cats were calm and happy, and everything in the flat was exactly as I’d left it. I’d happily recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you 🙏”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Hayley, the person behind Adventure Bound Pet Services. Animals have been a huge part of my working life. I have around 13 years’ experience in animal welfare, including working as an Animal Welfare Officer for the RSPCA, where my role involved animal welfare and behaviour, rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, adoption, fostering support, home visits and working closely with owners to help animals with a wide range of individual needs. I spent 6 years just working with cats so I have a lot of knowledge around their welfare. I also went on to work as a police officer, an experience which strengthened the qualities I bring to my work today – reliability, responsibility, good judgement and being someone people can trust. Adventure Bound has grown from wanting to return to the work I genuinely love: caring for animals and supporting the people who love them. I’m particularly passionate about providing individual, one-to-one care. Not every dog is suited to a busy group walk, and not every pet has straightforward needs. Some are nervous, reactive, older, recovering, have behavioural needs or simply thrive with individual attention. My aim is to get to know the animal in front of me and provide calm, reliable care that works for them. 🐾 Solo dog walks 🐾 Pet visits & companionship 🐾 Pet sitting & overnight care 🐾 Individual care tailored to your pet Adventure Bound Pet Services Individual care. Happy pets. Peace of mind. I have my own business so pet sitting and dog walking is my livelihood. I will always try to make a booking work around my personal circumstances. I will be respectful and listen to house rules and always make sure the pet is cared for to the standard the owner expects and sets out.
“Olivia helped to dog sit our new rescue dog and was fantastic! It was the first time us having a dog sitter but she made us feel at ease as was really friendly and quick to reply. Olivia also kindly sent us lots of photo updates which helped to give us peace of mind :) I’d highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter!”
“10/10 recommend Georgia!! She has popped into see our kitty 3 times so far and gives him the up most care and attention. She's happy to help and great in communication. I cannot fault anything! If your looking for someone to look after your pets I would 100% recommend Georgia. I already have her booked in for other visits and will continue to book. Much appreciated Georgia!”
About: My family and friends often rely on me to care for their pets whilst they’re away. I have my own dog and cat at home, and have always lived with both. I would love to care for and hang out with everyone’s pets aswell! I currently work in a shop, where I often have days off, and I would like something to keep me busy. I am available on most Fridays after 3pm, and Tuesdays and Saturdays before 2pm! If the dates on my calendar don’t quite match, I could still be available as I have very flexible hours every week, just message me :) I have an elderly cat at home, who I have had in my life since a kitten. She suffers from kidney disease, so I am often cleaning up her messes and understand how strict her diet should be. My dog is only young but very energetic, and has a 1-2 hour everyday by me.
“Here’s a smoother version: Eszter was great! She took lots of lovely photos of our cats, Lola and Luna, which was really reassuring and gave us peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. We really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. I would definitely recommend.”
About: Growing up my aunt owned a cattery & kennels, so I spent many years helping out, caring for the animals. I’ve always had my own dogs & cats, mainly from rescues as I could never bare to see them unloved. My nan always said, never trust a man who doesn’t like dogs haha & I live by that. I’m currently working part time, Wednesday - Friday for around 5 hours a day but have flexibility around my days and hours if need be. Obviously if there is an pet that cannot be left for longer then a set time, I would carefully take this into consideration. I would treat your pet as if it were my own & with the utmost care. I understand that every pet & their owner is different & may require different care, so would openly discuss this upon booking.
About: I’ve spent many years caring for my grandparents’ dogs and have always enjoyed being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. Through regular walks, feeding, playtime and looking after them while family were away, I’ve learned how important it is to keep pets happy, comfortable and following their normal routine. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll always take the time to get to know their personality, energy levels and any specific needs they have. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, plenty of play or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy and well looked after. I offer flexible pet care around my work schedule and keep my availability on Rover fully up to date. I regularly provide dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, with occasional house sitting when my schedule allows. When I accept a booking, I’ll always ensure I have the time to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know exactly how they’re getting on. Your pet’s safety, comfort and routine are my top priorities. During walks, I’ll always keep dogs on a lead unless you’ve specifically requested otherwise and it’s safe to do so. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routine and any house rules you’ve provided. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own.

About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Harlow
Olivia was brilliant! Excellent communication, clearly takes her role very seriously and we felt our two cats were in fantastic hands. She sent plenty of photos and a message about the visits which really put our minds at ease, whilst away. Will absolutely use Olivia again and would recommend her to anyone 😊
Yasmin is a fantastic cat sitter. She is friendly, reliable and is super trustworthy. She gave regular updates and genuinely cared about the service she was providing. We, and our boy Mr Mittens, are very grateful for her care. Thank you!! We recommend Yasmin without hesitation ❤️
Loved Marta, as did the cats... and one of them in particular who was waiting for her every day. It was so easy to plan with her and the regular updates and check ins meant we didn't need to worry about anything whilst we were away. I'd love to have her sit again.
Beverley was a wonderful cat sitter for Alpha! She was caring, reliable, and made sure Alpha was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. Alpha seemed relaxed and content when I returned, which says a lot! I would definitely recommend Beverley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter, and I’ll happily book with her again in the future.

There are 8,139 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harlow. About 90% of Harlow 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
