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: 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.

“Olivia helped to dog sit our new rescue dog and was fantastic! It was the first time us having a dog sitter but she made us feel at ease as was really friendly and quick to reply. Olivia also kindly sent us lots of photo updates which helped to give us peace of mind :) I’d highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter!”

“I definitely recommend Yasmin! Yasmin was an excellent cat sitter. It was lovely to meet her to explain everything before I went away. She was kind and reassuring. My cat was happy with her visiting while I was away. Yasmin did everything as I asked, playing with, brushing and giving treats to my cat as well as feeding, watering and litter tray-ing. She also sent me lovely photos to show my cat was okay. Yasmin reassured me when I was worried while away and wasnt judgemental about the home not being pristine. She gave me updates after each visit which was lovely. I felt that the service was definitely worth the price and I feel my cat was looked after better than if I had had a friend or relative to ask to look in on her. Thanks so much Yasmin!”

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: 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.

About: I took great care of my beautiful boy, Teddy throughout his long life, and have looked after my friend’s dogs frequently too, checking in on them and taking them for walks.

I can offer regular dog walks and check-ins, providing reliable, loving care and treating every dog with the same attention, affection, and care as if they were my own.

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: My family and friends often rely on me to care for their pets whilst they’re away. I have my own dog and cat at home, and have always lived with both. I would love to care for and hang out with everyone’s pets aswell! I currently work in a shop, where I often have days off, and I would like something to keep me busy. I am available on most Fridays after 3pm, and Tuesdays and Saturdays before 2pm! If the dates on my calendar don’t quite match, I could still be available as I have very flexible hours every week, just message me :) I have an elderly cat at home, who I have had in my life since a kitten. She suffers from kidney disease, so I am often cleaning up her messes and understand how strict her diet should be. My dog is only young but very energetic, and has a 1-2 hour everyday by me.

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.

About: My family have always had pets! I have been brought up with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs. Animal care is my passion! My close family have cats and dogs, so if they’re busy or at work I do tend to help them out by taking them on walks. I have one cat, and I’m currently in the process of convincing my partner to rescue a dog with me! We both love animals so this is certainly the first step! I do work full time in a school, so I get all of the holidays off the same time as the students. However on the days that work, early morning walks/check ins or evening walks/check ins would be no issue at all. And of course there’s weekends that I’m free as well. My cat is super super loving and calm, my garden is fairly big and there’s a fence all the way around so there would be no safety issues

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.

Yasmin was a great help in providing drop-in checks for our cat Billie. She was reliable, and gave regular updates and photos which helped give us peace of mind whilst we were away. Yasmin also left our home clean & tidy, with extra touches like washing up all the used cat bowls, which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend Yasmin to other pet owners

Loved Marta, as did the cats... and one of them in particular who was waiting for her every day. It was so easy to plan with her and the regular updates and check ins meant we didn't need to worry about anything whilst we were away. I'd love to have her sit again.

Beverley was a wonderful cat sitter for Alpha! She was caring, reliable, and made sure Alpha was happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in such good hands. Alpha seemed relaxed and content when I returned, which says a lot! I would definitely recommend Beverley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter, and I’ll happily book with her again in the future.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Harlow pet parents with similar pet households.

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% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
