House Sitting in Harlow

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals. I grew up with a cocker spaniel named Max, who lived to 18 and truly felt like a best friend. Over the years I have lived in homes with multiple cats, dogs, fish, and even an African Grey parrot, so I am very comfortable caring for a wide range of pets and their individual needs. I have also supported local owners through Borrow My Doggy, helping neighbours with walks, feeding, and general care whenever they needed an extra hand. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. I would be delighted to help care for your pet and ensure they feel safe, happy, and well looked-after. As a civil design engineer who mostly works from home, I have the flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I take morning and lunchtime walks every day, so active dogs are more than welcome to join me and burn off some energy. If your pet prefers a quieter pace, I’m just as happy to spend time with them relaxing and giving plenty of attention and cuddles. Your pet will never be short of company or care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, they’ll have access to the whole house, including a spacious garden for playtime and toilet breaks, and a cosy conservatory or sofa to relax on. I follow your routine exactly — whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, or specific care instructions. I always make sure the environment is safe and free from anything that could harm your pet, so you can feel confident they’re well looked after. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m equally happy to look after your pet there. I will treat your home with complete respect, keep everything tidy, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar surroundings.

“Tia took such great care of Chronos and Thea while I was away! She came by ahead of the visit to meet them and take Chronos for a walk to make sure they were comfy together. She sent so many amazing photos and kept me up to date on how things were going. I could tell everybody was comfortable together and having a great time. I would absolutely book pet care with Tia again, and recommend her to others looking for their pets and their space to be well cared for.”

“Sophie was just great with my little Shelby! Shelby fell in love with her, getting loads of cuddles and lovely walks. Sophie sent me loads of photos, videos and updates to let me know how Shelby was doing. Would absolutely recommend Sophie and will definitely use her again!”

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.

About: I have loved dogs all my life. I regularly walk my sisters dog as my one sadly passed a few years ago. I’m patient and caring and just need my dog fix! I have recently been made redundant and trying to restart my self employed beauty business. I’m flexible and willing to help out where I can! I am confident with dogs and safety is number 1 to me. Anything you require me to do for your dog I will do with the most care.

About: I work full time but my role is fully remote, meaning I can be with your fur baby 24/7 providing all the love and snuggles they deserve! With my role being remote, I thought I’d use it as an opportunity to spend time with some gorgeous little creatures and help out pet parents. I know first hand how stressful it can be trying to find care for your fur babies when you go away! 


I’ve got a lot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes having grown up with rescues all my life. I also have a lot of experience caring for others pets including cats, I always tend to be the one my friends and family go to when they need a pet sitter as they all know how animal mad I am and will always jump at the chance to care for any animal! This has lead to them recommending me to the wider public helping me build a sizeable portfolio of pet sitting. I work full time but my role is fully remote, so I can be there to provide constant love and fuss for your pets 24/7. I am a genuine animal lover and truly believe your pets are family. I do everything within my power to ensure pets are cared for exactly how their owners have requested. I honestly see it as a privilege and a treat to give an abundance of love and cuddles to any creature!

About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.

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’ve always been passionate about pets since I was very young and I couldn’t wait until I got older so I could get a dog of my very own. Almost 7 years ago I got my sweet cockapoo Nala she has changed my life in the most amazing way. She is reactive and it has definitely been a journey working with her to help give us both a better quality of life. Through my journey with Nala I have learned a lot of patience, compassion and empathy I’ve also learnt how to be extremely alert. I have cared for many of my family’s pets and am passionate and ready to help the wider public with the knowledge and skills I have gained in almost 5 years. I have also recently completed and achieved extensive knowledge through a trusted pet sitting and dog walking course. I’m nearing the end of my dog trainer course through The Dog Training college a positive reinforcement company giving me extensive knowledge on dog behaviour. I’m DBS checked and covered with Rover Insurance I’m happy to say I am available most days during working hours after I finish work at 12 so normally (12-7) with enough warning I’m quite flexible to help when needed for overnight stays and visits. I offered pet visits and pet care in your home and I will care for your pet like it’s my own I will ask for the pets routine and where the pet stays while you are away and I will follow those instructions to give you peace of mind while away from your pet. With my near qualifications as a dog trainer it helps me to assess and make sure your dog is as safe as possible.

“Kery looked after my cat Leo while house sitting, and he absolutely loved her! She gave him lots of attention, sent me regular updates with photos and videos, and left the house super clean. I’m really happy with everything, and so is Leo! Will definitely book her again 😊”

About: I care for my family dog, as well and friends, family members, and neighbours often trusting me to look after all their pets. Very active so I’m willing to take the doggies whereever they need to go. I work in a school setting so I am currently available everyday until the 3rd September, and often will have long holiday periods off where I can remain just as flexible. I am aware every animal is different and all have different safety needs. But I am very observant and have experience in handling difficult and reactive dogs so will always try my best to make sure dogs and cats feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have grown up with dogs around me, from Spaniels, Cockapoo's and Staffies and always love having a dog around for company. I have looked after many families and friends' dogs over the last few years, and would love to make it a more regular thing. You can trust that I will take the very best care of your dog day and night, and happy to share heaps of pictures and videos throughout the day, so you can relax knowing they are having a great time. I am a working professional currently working in the office maximum. 3 days per week, one of which is usually a Monday. I am also generally home on the weekends, so can be fully flexible to dog walk, sit or board. I live in a large two bedroom first floor apartment, in a gated complex with gardens and whilst I may not have private outdoor space, I am an active person with a goal to achieve 10,000 steps each day. Whether that is setting me up for the day with a coffee walk, a lunchtime walk to take a break from my desk or an evening walk to unwind... I like to get outdoors and in the fresh air as much as your dog does! Living in Sawbridgeworth, I am spoilt for choice with walks around Pishiobury Park, nearby fields or a stroll along the river, so your dog will not be far from a good run and play on the grass. I live in a secure apartment, with several of my neighbours having dogs so it is a dog friendly building. When I work from home your dog won't ever be left for an extended period and if I have plans, I will be sure to check in advance that you are comfortable for a couple of hours. I prefer to take only one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family, and happy for your dog to roam freely in the apartment so they feel comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of mainly dogs and cats; but do have experience with small mammals, birds and fish. Have grown up with pets and have 2 cats of my own now. Who are over 10 yrs old. Have dog and cat sat for family and friends over the last 10 years I am available early morning and evenings daily, I am home Friday to Monday, but have a flexible lifestyle as a self employed gardener and looking to do more work with animals. I am the primary care giver to my cats; feeding, litter trays, claws, fleeing, vet appointments etc. as well as cuddling, and playing. So I am able to do all the above for anyone else’s pets that I care for.

“Jordan stayed overnight to look after our dogs whilst we were away, straight from the meet and greet the dogs took to him and we had no worries about him. He was really easy going and great to communicate with in the lead up to his stay. Sent us a lovely update during the evening, just to let us know how things were going. On our return the dogs seemed happy and relaxed in his company. I would highly recommend Jordan to anyone and would definitely look to him again if we need someone to look after our dogs. Thanks Jordan ?”
