“Laurita took care of my 4 month old Bichon Frise puppy. I literally had my puppy barely a week and needed someone to take care of him for the day because I needed to attend an emergency memorial on the Isle of Wight. He was scared when he got there and I was worried but she put my mind at ease and sent me some amazing video clip updates of him playing with her dog and absolutely loving being there and 100% happy. Her dog is so gorgeous as well— he was like an older sibling. She was also kind enough to give him a bath which I’m so grateful for. He looked beautiful when I picked him up. It is clear to see that Laurita is a dog lover and took care of Ceaser like he was her own. I was so lucky to find her and I will definitely be going to her again if I need her to take care of Ceaser. I also was stuck in traffic on the M25 and was going to arrive late to pick him up but she was so flexible. Thank you so much Laurita for taking care of Ceaser, you are a one of a kind, caring, lovely person.”
“Carina was fantastic, was very prompt with replies and kept me updated with pictures to how Casper was doing. She was very flexible with the drop off and pickup times, and Casper seemed to really enjoy himself. I felt very safe leaving Casper with her, and would use her again 🥰”
“Ezgi has been sitting Luna 3 days a week for the last month and she has been amazing and super flexible to the times I needed. Luna would get excited when we neared Ezgi's house and was always happy when I collected. Thank you, and we will see you again. :)”
“Amazing short notice daycare! With less than 48 hours notice, Daniel managed to fit in a quick meet and greet, take on board all info and provide amazing day care for Doug. Regular photos and videos received. Doug returned happy and tired. Will 100% be rebooking the next time I need doggy day care. Thank you!!”
“Jennette has so much experience with dogs and has 3 adorable dogs 😍 she was great at sending updates throughout the day and when I went collect. Rocky took to her straight away. I will definitely use Jennette again 😊”

“Nicola has been amazing with Rupert. From the first visit she’s been so kind and took such good care of him. It’s very clear that she loves dogs and Rupert is always excited to spend time with her gorgeous pups.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in the 7 years+ I’ve been around dogs all breeds, shapes and sizes there’s no dog too big and no dog too small I care for them all. As I work from home I can care for your dogs 24/7 24 hours a day and give them all the walks and loving they need I offer a safe environment for all dogs from crate trained to free roaming dogs around the house I have 4 crates cleaned multiple times a day to make the living space as clean as possible
About: I have had dogs in my family since the age of 13. We had a Briard, Teddy for many years who was an huge dog and was loved very much! My partner has also had dogs in his family since the age of 10 and his family currently have an adorable Shei Tzu called Cookie. We are both active people who go on a walk at least once a day so we would love to assist in taking pressure off of you to walk your dog. We also have already been helping to dog sit for our friends and family when they go on holiday. Your pet will be staying with myself and my boyfriend Charlie. We stay in most weekends (will just need notice). We both work from home in the week and one of us are always home every day of the week. As mentioned we are both active people and walk everyday so would fit in with our schedules. We have a fenced garden which can be used. We have lots of downstairs space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. We can use a crate if needed.
“Thank you so much to Janey for looking after Meli for the day. Janey is very friendly and welcoming, with a lovely home and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Yogi is the sweetest little thing. Janey was really patient with our Meli who took a while to settle down. She was reassuring and understanding and we felt very comfortable leaving Meli with her. Thanks again!”
“Beatriz, Matt, Sofi & Lupa were so welcoming - Ember felt right at home. As a new puppy owner I instantly felt relaxed and knew she was in safe hands. Couldn’t have asked for better”
About: With years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and communication. What makes me unique is my intuitive approach to individual dog personalities. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Whether it’s building trust with a rescue, managing high-energy breeds, or creating routines that support both mental stimulation and calm, I tailor my approach to each dog’s temperament, age, and background. From daily walks and training reinforcement to grooming, nutrition, and health monitoring, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors dogs, gaining practical knowledge in everything from socialization to medication management. I’m not just experienced—I’m passionate. Dogs aren’t just pets; they’re companions, and family. That belief drives my commitment to giving them the best life possible. I am available morning noon and night I can also come and walk your dog whenever you need. I can also do long or short term boarding. I’m an active, animal-loving woman with a real passion for spending time with dogs. I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, plus I’m lucky to live near beautiful open fields—ideal for long, enriching walks and plenty of sniffing adventures! I truly understand that dogs are sensitive, social animals who don’t enjoy being left alone. That’s why I’m committed to giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I love to play, cuddle, and simply be present with them, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved at all times.
“My puppy, Milo, really enjoyed his first Doggy Daycare Day, he settled in straight away and Clare kept me updated with photos on how he was doing. I would highly recommend Clare's services!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—cats, dogs, and everything in between—and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and pace, and I’m always patient and respectful of that. Whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, playing fetch, or just being there for quiet company, I love connecting with pets and making them feel safe and loved. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with kindness, attention, and care. I’m currently working from home so have a lot of availability through the week and on weekends if needed. Can drive a reasonable distance from Harlow i have a fully secure garden. With one small dog in the house, no children. I’m a very responsible dog owner and often care for friends and family animals
“Excellent daycare. Lots of care and affection given, great communication and flexibility. A good amount of exercise and attention. Our cockapoo was relaxed and happy. Would definitely book again.”
About: I was born and raised surrounded by dogs and cats. Because I am the youngest, it was always my responsibility, feeding, bathing and walking the dogs. The cats was easy, to look after, making sure they have food and water, and that their litter box was cleaned but always being ready for a cuddle. I work full time, but the great thing about my job, if it's a small dog, they can join me at work but bigger dogs, I do have flexible schedule at work, so can make sure they can go for a quick walk 2-3 times a day, while they staying at home. My weekends are generally free, for dog walking or dog/cat sitting. I will ask the owners to tell me their dog/cat like/dislikes, schedule of feeding times, favourite toys/snacks and also if their dog/cat sleep in their bed with them, I won't object at all. Anything to make sure the dog/cat is relaxed in their home environment, without getting too anxious, while their owners are away.

Daniel has looked after our elderly dog a few times now in preparation for a pending doggy holiday with Daniel and his family. We are kept up to date and our doggy has a waggy tail when he starts to visit. I wish I had known about this sooner I would have started using years ago.
My Cockapoo Jeanie had a great day at Carina’s house playing with her dog Bella and her daughter. She was treated like part of the family right away and made herself at home in Bella’s comfy bed. Played in the garden throughout the day and went on a nice walk too. It was so nice to receive update photos and messages while I was at work and I felt happy knowing she was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Carina, Jeanie looks forward to her next stay with you 🥰
Rasmus had an absolutely amazing day with Ellie and Daisy and we couldn’t be happier! Ellie was quick to respond to messages and was very flexible to our needs on the day as we were attending a wedding. I’d given an open time we were going to drop him off and collected him earlier than planned and Ellie was happy to accommodate my requests. Ellie’s house was very dog friendly and they had a lovely garden he was exploring right away. When we got there, Daisy was out on a walk to give Rasmus time to settle in before he met her but when I returned to pick him up, there were two noses poking through the door to greet me and they looked the best of friends. Ellie had booked an enclosed field to take them to that day which was absolutely brilliant for Rasmus as a high energy dog, he needs to burn it off and sometimes a standard walk just doesn’t do it for him. We had a trip back to Norwich after Rasmus’s stay and he was zonked the whole way home. He is even still tired this morning! Thank you so much Ellie! If we are down your way again then we will certainly be using your services.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Harlow on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 15,334 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Harlow. About 87% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Harlow commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in East of England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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 dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
