House Sitting Harlow

“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.”

About: I have a deep love for animals, especially dogs or cats. Coming with a background of having dogs and cats of my own since I was little I was always growing up around them either in my family or friends. I used to take care of my grandmas dogs through out my childhood by taking it for walks, vet, feeding, bathing & playing. Since last few years I have been around different types of dogs whilst living in Mauritius I was taking care of stray dogs by building trust and providing care, such as food, affection and in some cases even play time, as their wellbeing was important to me. Giving the love, care and affection to dogs/ cats brings me and the animal a lot of joy and I love taking care and having a good relationship with them. I can teach them tricks from young. I am also working part time and I am an artist. Enjoying being outdoors by going for a jog or a walk as well as staying indoors and being cosy whilst watching a movie or reading a book on a rainy day. • friendly • open to learning • responsible • fast learner Because I work early mornings, I have a lot of free time during the day and throughout the week to focus on caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and allows me to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Every pet is different, with their own personality, habits, and comfort levels, so I always adjust my care to suit their individual needs. I follow the owner’s routine and expectations closely to help pets feel relaxed, safe, and comfortable in their own home. I genuinely enjoy building trust with animals and do my best to give them the same love, attention, and care they’re used to receiving from their owners.

About: I have looked after family and friends pets, and I have experience with dogs who have medical needs, and I have looked after multiple type of dog breeds and sizes. I am currently not working so of course I have enough time to give you fur baby the time and attention it needs and wants I can care for many different types of breeds and sizes, I also have had fur baby’s in the past and don’t mind any breed.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs since age 13, with hands-on experience across labradors, collies, golden retrievers, labradoodles, Boston terriers, and mixed breeds. For the past three years, my wife, my son Tom, and I have cared for dogs locally through other sitting platforms, earning consistent five-star reviews. We offer a settled family home where dogs follow familiar routines. Feeding times stay consistent, walks match each dog’s energy and needs, and dogs receive daily attention and affection. I watch behaviour, comfort, and wellbeing closely, so owners feel confident their dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for like one of our own. I work remotely, so dogs stay part of my daily routine rather than fitting around gaps. Walks happen regularly through the day, feeding times stay consistent, and dogs receive attention between work tasks. Care runs alongside looking after my son, so dogs stay included in a calm, structured family day rather than left alone. I care for dogs in a safe, calm home environment and follow each owner’s instructions closely. I focus on routines, supervision, and wellbeing rather than specialist grooming or pampering services. I am not professionally trained in grooming, but I ensure dogs stay clean, comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

“I always feel comfortable leaving Bounty and Pixie with Molly! Bounty is ALWAYS pleased to see Molly and I would always recommend her to friends and family! Although I don’t want to so I can keep her to myself 🤣”

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've had dogs in my family since I was a child, from Spaniels to German Shepherds Often look after friends and family pets , would love to be able to help people out by looking after their 4 legged family members I'm semi retired from the job I've been doing for 35 years, had a dog up to 3 years ago and decided not to get another as I was still working. Caring for someone else's dog seems like a great way to have a dog in my life again and help you out I have a fenced garden and miles of countryside for walking your dog, am happy to look after your family member at yours or my home

“Amy was fantastic - she came to see Finn before the booking and he was instantly made to feel special and a quick bond was creating. I had regular updates and photos throughout the booming so I knew Finn was being well looked after. I will definitely book Amy again.”

“This was the first time we had left Teddy with a sitter, so we were only out for a few hours. However, at the meet and greet Abigail was very professional in reassuring us. She was punctual, and Teddy was very relaxed when we returned, so we are very pleased with the service she provided and would book her again. Thank you Abigail.”

“Jordan has looked after my 4 year old staffy on a number of occasions now and has developed a great bond with her. He always sends me updates throughout the day, and always leaves the house in a great state. I’d highly recommend Jordans services.”

About: Experience with young and old dogs with varying needs. Having owned dogs my whole life, I am well equipped to cater to their important needs AND their love and attention. I frequently look after my Nana’s dog and I have my own (very needy!) Basset Hound. I work as a writer, so flexibility is my middle name! I can work from anywhere and love taking breaks by walking in nature, which makes taking a fluffy companion with me a treat. I am confident and responsible, I am happy to cater to the exact needs of your pet. From pets which need lots of help and attention, to pets who just need company in the house!

“Tia was great. It was lovely to be able to relax and enjoy our day out with family knowing our dog was hapy and being well looked after. She sent us regular picture /video updates during the day that were reassuring and made us smile! We will definitely book her again. Thank you”

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.

“Tor and Charlotte are great and took great care of Bruce. They suggested a meet beforehand and sent photos and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend”
