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.

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.

About: My friend and I absolutely love spending time with dogs. We have plenty of experience caring for them having previously had a dog (Poodle) for 11 years and really enjoy getting to know each dogs unique personality. We currently look after 2 dogs on a weekly basis and would like to branch into paid dog walking and sitting. I am currently working full time between 8:30 and 4:30 but have good availability after these hours and generally have a free schedule on weekends. I currently live in a flat with a balcony area and have plenty of space for your dog to run about or relax. We also own a car so if caring for your dog is easier in your home travelling is not a issue at all.
About: I’m a genuine dog lover and proud owner of my own dachshund called Dylan! I have lots of experience caring for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether they need a fun walk, some company while you’re out, or a comfortable home from home, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I’m especially passionate about dachshunds, and other small dogs. However, I love meeting all different types of dogs and I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐶❤️ I do not currently work therefore I have a flexible schedule, which means I can fit walks and pet care around my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and sitting, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s usual routine wherever possible. I can offer regular walks as well as one off bookings, and I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, exercise and company throughout the day. I’m also happy to discuss specific routines, feeding times and any individual needs your dog may have. The safety and wellbeing of every dog in my care is my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, routine, likes and dislikes before looking after them, and I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking and medication routines where needed. In my home, dogs will be given plenty of attention, cuddles, play and rest. I’ll always make sure they are supervised and kept in a safe, secure environment. We have a secure garden, aswell as a stair gate by our front door. We’re happy to have dogs on our sofa, and bed as they are truly treated like part of the family. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll respect their space and routine and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also keep owners updated so they know their dog is happy and settled while they’re away.

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 was absolutely incredible as a dog sitter—we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Tana was in such safe and caring hands. Olivia didn’t just look after our dog, she genuinely cared for her, making sure she was happy, comfortable, and sticking to her usual routine. She also treated our home with the utmost respect, leaving everything spotless and exactly as we left it. It’s rare to find someone who looks after both your pet and your home to such a high standard. What really stood out was how amazing Olivia was at keeping us updated. We received regular messages, photos, and little updates about how Tana was doing, which made such a difference while we were away. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy Tana was. We honestly couldn’t recommend Olivia highly enough—she went above and beyond in every way. We’ll definitely be asking her again in the future!”

“Eszter was wonderful for our nervous boy, he clearly had the most amazing time and we came back to a very happy and relaxed dog. Koji has a lot of specific needs and Eszter went above and beyond to meet them, always checked in with us if she was unsure of anything and communicated so well throughout the course of her time with Koji. We highly recommend Eszter to look after your pet, she will do everything she can to make sure your pet and you are comfortable.”

“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: 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 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 grown up with rescue cats all my life and love them more than life itself! I couldn’t imagine living without a fluffy companion by my side. My dad was allergic to dogs so despite years of begging, a dog wasn’t allowed, so instead I would go out and walk other people’s dogs around the neighbourhood just to spend some time with mans best friend. As an animal lover and a holiday lover I know how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your furry friends whilst you get some R&R. I am lucky to be able to work remote with my ‘9-5’ (flexible hours) so am able to meet most of your pets needs :) I am lucky enough to be able to work remote with my ‘9-5’ (flexible hours) so I am able to attend to most of your pets needs, whether that be long or multiple walks, toilet breaks, or special requests. I am able to drive (clean license) so can commute to wherever you live. I also live local to woods & fields so would love to take your curious pets to new locations. I am clean & well-mannered, and will always clean up after your pet whilst they are in my care.
“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.”


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: 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 or sit. 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: My neighbours have always relied on me feeding their cats since I was little. In recent years my friends have got their own dogs and I am the number one go too for dog sitting. 5 friends and my auntie always ask me first before anyone else and hope I’m not already dog or cat sitting I work from home full time so can be very flexible. I finish at 3pm for the day. I can be home all day to give your pet love and attention. I am a trustworthy person and very neat and tidy. I respect another person personal space and would treat it how I would my own!

“Ethea was great in taking care of our two dogs. We have a new puppy that requires lots of attention and Ethea gave him just that. Ethea sent photos of our happy pups and was very communicative throughout that day. We will definitely book again!”

I used Mark to sit by dog Billy for a week. Mark did a fabulous job looking after Billy. Mark sent me regular videos & pictures an updated me about what Billy had been like & where he had taken Billy pictures showed me Billy was having the time of his life with Mark.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Harlow walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Harlow choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
