About: I am an experienced dog owner I have had rescues & puppies. I live with my fiancé Kallum & we have a 6 year old staffie girl named babs who loves playing with other dogs. I have also cared for elderly dogs as well as dogs with health conditions & allergies. I will give your dog all the love & attention whilst they are with me! My helping hand care givers are as follows: Kallum - my fiancé who can support in the evenings and weekends Tina - my mum who is on hand in case of emergencies, she is also a dog lover and has her own 3 year old cockapoo I work full time predominately from home. My office days are Tuesdays but there is always someone available to be there for the dogs if boarding for long stay. I am often home on weekends and able to give your dog all the love, affection & walks My back garden is totally secure so dogs are completely safe. Dogs are allowed to sit on sofas with owners permission, I wouldn't want to instill any bad habits they're not allowed to do at home. I do have my own 6 year old staffie girl so any dog staying would need to be happy socialising with other dogs.
About: I had a dog and many cats thoughout my life. Being brought up in Borneo and constantly surrounded by snakes and monkeys, I developed a strong passion and interest for everything nature and wildlife. I have worked as a veterinary nurse for two years, where I worked with everything under the sun; from hamsters to birds to lions! I've also worked as personal dog carer for a royal family in the middle east for about 6 months. I love all animals and promise to treat them as I would my own! I have a way of getting on with animals of all shapes and sizes! I very much look forward to making friends with all the pets I can! I'm currently working two days a week (Mon and Thurs) at a veterinary clinic. My weeks are very free for plenty of walks and play. I can only really care for smaller dogs or cats at my place as its a one bedroom flat. I'll happily entertain any who needs a place to stay.
“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 😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so having a furry friend around has always felt completely normal to me! My parents currently have two Labradors and a Border Terrier who I spend lots of time with and regularly walk, so I’m very used to different personalities, sizes and energy levels. I absolutely love being outdoors and am always up for a long walk, exploring somewhere new or even having a four-legged running buddy! Equally, I’m more than happy with a slower stroll and plenty of cuddles on the sofa for dogs who prefer life at a gentler pace. I’m confident and comfortable around all types of dogs and would be happy looking after everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience and care. Most importantly, I know how much dogs become part of the family. If I’m looking after yours, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own, with lots of attention, affection, walks and probably far too much fuss! 🐶🤍 During the week I work as a teacher, but outside of work I’m very active and love spending my free time outdoors. Walks and runs are already a big part of my routine, so having a furry companion with me makes them even better! I’m particularly available during evenings, weekends and school holidays, when I have much more flexibility and plenty of time for walks, playtime and company. I know every dog is different, so I’m really happy to follow the routine they’re used to at home, including feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any other little quirks that make them feel comfortable! I’m confident around dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little more patience. I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, settled and very well looked after.

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.

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 .
