“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 🥰”
“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.”
About: I have experience as a pet sitter in both Brazil and Portugal, and I am now happily based in England. Caring for animals has always been something very close to my heart. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I am caring, patient and responsible, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I would be delighted to give your pets the same love I’m currently available 24 hours a day, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and schedules, whether your pet needs walks, visits, overnight care or lots of company. I’m very flexible and will always do my best to make sure your pet receives the care, attention and love they need. 🐾❤️ I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable and loved while they are in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walks, medication and anything else your pet may need. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority.
“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 😊”
“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!!”

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.
“Ecennaz was super communicative, and took lovely care of my little girl. I was able to enjoy my event because my mind was at ease knowing that my dog was being well looked after. Thank you for taking such good care of her and I highly recommend Ecennaz to anyone looking for a lovely, stress-free dog-friendly sitter :)”
About: As a toddler, I learnt to walk with the help of my family's gorgeous golden retriever. I now live on a narrowboat and move around East and North East London, spending my time walking around Lea Valley Park, Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park with various furry friends, some of whom also enjoy stays on my boat. While I don't have a private garden, I do always have the towpath and usually a big park right on my doorstep. I work freelance from home as a translator, so my day-to-day is very flexible. Whether there's a dog staying or not, my days always start with a walk or a run around my local green space. I love being outdoors so would welcome dogs who need longer and/or more frequent walks, but am also happy to provide cuddles and a calm environment at home. My boat has a comfy sofa and space for a crate if required. While I don't have my own private garden, I have easy access to the towpath and am usually a stone's throw from one of East/North-East London's parks.
“Clare was amazing with our 6 month old spaniel. He loved spending time with her and her dogs. It is clear that Clare takes great care of all the dogs. I highly recommend :)”
“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”
“Anna and her family are amazing! My dog loves going there - we are a repeat booker! I fully relax and never worry when Milo’s with Anna and she always keeps me updated with photos and videos.”
“Kara was wonderful with my Marnie! 🩷 she settled in with Jasper and Daisy really quickly. Kara kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of how Marnie was getting on. Will be booking with Kara regularly and absolutely recommend 🌟”
“Yhozmin and her beautiful family were an absolute godsend for our obi. He is a rescue and we’ve never had to use a sitter before so coming back to him so happy was amazing. Thank you so much for your communication and last minute availability x”
“Jenny sent me photos of what looked like a happy relaxed dog during the day, which was a bit of a surprise because my dog is usually a bit anxious. When I went to collect her, she seemed happy to stay with her new human pack, although she made it clear that I could stay too. She has been happy and relaxed since her visit to Jenny, no clinging. Hope to need Jenny’s care again - just looking at where to book a few days away so that the dog can have a holiday too. Thanks Jenny!”

We had such a great experience with them! They were very responsive and kept us updated throughout, and were really flexible with the pick-up and drop-off times as well. Mochi seemed happy and well looked after. Thank you for accommodating our last-minute booking! Would definitely recommend and book with them again! 🐾🤎
Daniel and Bridget were brilliant with my two dogs. Caring gentle and quiet, just what my girls needed. By the end of their dodgy day care the dogs were stretched out on the sofa next to Daniel and Bridget. I've already booked them in for another stay and they are definitely my 'go to' carers from now on. I'm so happy to have found them. I can't recommend them highly enough.
River has been going to day care with Sophia for 3 months so far and he loves her so much! He's so excited from the moment we turn into the road. He has lots of space to run around, a big garden to explore and a forest nearby for walkies. River even 'helps' Sophia do her jobs for the day by being a cosy lap warmer. From the initial meeting he was clearly comfortable and happy to be there. River has certainly got a bestie in Sophia.
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 🥰

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Harlow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Harlow on Rover is £29.9 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 15,508 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
