About: I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly treat every dog like family. I have experience with larger, active breeds like German Shepherds, gentle and affectionate breeds like Cocker Spaniels, and breeds that need extra care and attention, such as French Bulldogs. I’m very mindful of individual needs, routines, and personalities, whether that’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or lots of cuddles. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medication if needed, leash walking, and keeping dogs safe and happy at all times. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on dogs’ moods and body language, which helps them feel relaxed and secure quickly. I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel completely at ease while your dog is in my care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I’m currently not working, which means I have plenty of time, flexibility, and attention to fully focus on caring for your dog. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to stick closely to your dog’s usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. I’m available on weekdays, and I can provide frequent check-ins, companionship, and supervision throughout the day so your dog is never left feeling lonely or rushed. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I follow any instructions you provide carefully and make sure routines are kept consistent to help dogs feel secure and relaxed. I keep a calm, clean, and dog-friendly environment, supervise interactions closely, and ensure dogs are always safely leashed during walks. I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I’m happy to accommodate crate training, special feeding routines, or medications if needed. I also keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care.
“Gerda was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for my cats while we were on holiday. I received regular updates, and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I will definitely be booking Gerda again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“James been wonderful with both my boys. This was my second booking with James with both occasions being at a very short notice. He is well accommodating, considerate and extremely helpful. My boys were well fed, attended and taken care off. He followed each requirements/asks thoughly, took note of it and ensure to keep in touch regularly to ask if there was any additional need. He reassured me on boys health and whereabouts, found one of my boys little sick and he attended him with extra care. James goes extra mile with watering plants and fixing cables that the boys chewed on. James is very switched on and sensible/mindful of all the factors as a sitter. He took the boys out for walk and to ensure they aren’t overheated during the heatwaves, he went extra mile by wearing a jacket himself - that’s pure dedication. When I came home after a week, I found the boys in good health, litters cleaned, food and water well replaced and they were less needy compared to other times. I am very happy cat mama with two happy boys, and would highly recommend James to my friends and family. A big thanks to James for the big support and taking half my worries during a challenging period/away from home. Best wishes…”
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I bring genuine care, patience, and attention to every pet I look after. You can count on me to keep your furry friend happy, safe, and loved. Caring for animals fits into my natural schedule as I'm currently at home. I can fit my workload around them, giving them the attention they need including walks, food and training. I have a 3 bedroom house with a fenced off backyard, therefore I have a safe loving environment. I keep them on a routine with regular scheduled meals, exercise & playtime.
“Thank you Rachel and Mike for looking after my babies for this days. I strongly recommend this couple, very responsible and caring. Following the instructions as agreed and beyond. Keep it up and we’ll request your services soon x”
About: Reliable, gentle and experienced pet carer. I’ve looked after dogs for years, handling feeding, play, routines and updates. Pets stay safe, calm and happy with me. I’m fully working from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available to walk dogs throughout the day. I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime and companionship, with no children at home and a quiet environment. My home is quiet and cosy, with no kids around, so pets settle in easily. Since I work from home full‑time, I’m able to give them plenty of attention, walks, playtime and gentle supervision. I always make sure they feel relaxed, secure and loved while you’re away.
“Tara looked after our cats over two weeks in August 2025. We found her be super communicative and sent amazing pictures and updates during the sit. Tara really does care a lot about the cats, going beyond simply ensuring their needs are met but making sure they are happy too with pats/play and quality time spent on each visit! Thanks Tara!!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and am very comfortable with both cats and dogs of various ages and temperaments. For family and friends, I’ve looked after a range of pets including a super active Australian shepherd puppy, a very sweet, but anxious yellow lab, an elderly cockapoo, and several sassy but lovable cats. I work full-time in social media marketing, with two work from home days a week that are quite flexible, so I’m happy to schedule my week to spend the most time possible with your pets. For longer sits, I would need to look after pets that are happy to stay at home on my office days. I am happy to follow any guidelines you have for keeping your pet safe and comfortable, whether that’s crating them, keeping them out of certain areas of your home, or caring for their specific needs.
About: Hi there, fellow cat lovers! I’m a freelance software developer and a devoted cat parent to a 10-year-old gentleman who still thinks he’s a kitten when a ball’s involved. He’s playful, a little mischievous, and has mastered the art of convincing me to drop everything for a good chin scratch session. Living with him for a decade has taught me a lot about the quiet (and not-so-quiet) needs of cats—their independence, their routines, and how much love they give when they trust you. That’s why I offer cat sitting: to help other cat parents enjoy time away with peace of mind, knowing their feline friend is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry companion! Ewelina Reliable. Respectful. Cat-approved. I am flexible with my schedule and would be happy to accommodate your booking at a convenient time that works best for you and your needs. Privacy and trust are very important to me. I provide photo updates after each visit for your reassurance. Services include litter tray cleaning, fresh water, feeding as instructed, and dedicated play and companionship.
About: I grew up with two dogs, have around two years of pet-care experience, and am a cat owner myself. I have also completed a basic dog-training course and am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I offer reliable pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks tailored to your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully, provide regular photo updates, and always give each pet my full attention. I am flexible on schedule across weekdays and weekends generally available throughout the day at the moment. Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs and timings. I am not able to provide pet care services in my own home at the moment as my place is not suitable for dogs. I am happy to provide pet sitting services in a pet owner’s home and will make sure to follow any guidance from the owner.
About: I have been around dogs and cats since childhood and have many years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I am especially comfortable with medium, large and giant dogs, and I understand the importance of calm, confident handling and following each owner’s routine. I have cared for dogs for extended periods and have had my own cat, Kicia, for the past ten years. I can provide dog walks and drop-in visits, including feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime and companionship. I always follow instructions carefully and will send regular updates and photos. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I take a patient, calm and respectful approach to each pet. I am usually available for dog walks and drop-in visits from Monday to Friday, mainly between 11am and 3pm. However, my availability can be flexible, especially for local bookings, so please feel free to message me if you need a different time. I may also be able to accept early morning, later afternoon or same-day bookings depending on the day and location. I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and respect their home and their pet’s usual routine. Before accepting a new booking, I prefer to discuss the pet’s behaviour, needs and any important safety information. During walks and visits, I will keep pets secure, supervised and comfortable, and I will send updates and photos after each service.
“Terri was great at looking after Beau while I was on holiday. Communication was great throughout, and it was clear Beau was very well looked after and happy. I came home feeling completely reassured. I would definitely recommend Terri and would happily use her again.”
About: I’ve been loving animals since childhood. I had taken care of a cocker spaniel for a friend for three years and also a few lovely cats occasionally. Friends comment me as responsible and trustworthy. I have a flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to take care of your cats or play with your dogs. I can drop in for your pets or walk your dog. Currently I can drop in to take care of your cats and dogs or I can pick up your dogs for walking. I enjoy both staying indoors and outdoor activities. Your pets will know I genuinely love them.

About: I love dogs and have done since I was little. I have owned two in the past but do not have one at the moment and I miss canine company. I love the honesty and loyalty of dogs and would welcome your furry pal as part of our family. Dogs seem to know I am friendly and are friendly back to me. Our home is the bottom half of a detached Edwardian house in a quiet road and has an enclosed back garden. We have plenty of room for dog company, with only three of us living here. About five minutes' walk away is Harrow Recreation Ground which is large and great for a good exercise session. There are also plenty of other parks and walks within easy driving distance. I'm mainly at home and work part-time around my pet-sitting commitments. My husband and daughter are also here a lot of the time, so there is always plenty of attention for the doggies! We have a fenced garden with a lawn and paved patio area. We are out the back a lot in the summer when the weather is nice.
About: Hi there! I’m Louise. I’m a keen dog lover and have been for as long as I can remember. I had my own dog for 11 years, and looked after her when she was older and had a heart condition and needed a lot of medication. I’ve also dog sat a lot of different breeds from golden retriever puppies to mini schnauzers. I currently live in a block of flats but there’s green space just outside the block and lots of nice walks nearby. I work from home 2 days a week and can give your pet the attention and care they need in between my work day. I regularly take screen breaks and like to take walks during my lunch break Making sure no food/plants/anything else is left out within reach. Happy to put your pet in a crate if needed, I have experience with that. Feel free to message me with any specifics and I can let you know how I would do that! :)
About: I am a full time university student studying Fine Art at Westminster University, looking for some summer work while I am on my break. I have such a deep loving for cats, which comes from having had 5 cats as pets over my lifetime so far, however they are at my parents and so I would love to fill this cat shaped gap!
About: Over the years I've dabbled in almost everything regarding canine care, be it working at daycares or grooming salons, training, hydrotherapy, rehab, puppy raising, and senior care. Having a large aging dog pushed me more towards hydro, rehab, and senior care, but I adore pups of all ages and sizes, regardless of whether we're just chilling together or doing some training to bond! Dog care is my full time job; I dedicate most of my time and energy into multiple dogs-- mine, and other people's! I've made a career out of this for over a decade, and don't plan on leaving this industry. I've got three dogs, two of whom are trained AAI dogs with plenty of experience being around dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperament. The last one is a goofy puppy who's happily learning! I live in a two-floor flat within a gated community, and we have a fenced garden. I am also a trained canine/small animal hydrotherapist and know pet first aid.
About: Hi! We’re Giuseppina and Camilla, a couple who share a huge love for dogs. Giuseppina has been caring for dogs for over 9 years—looking after pets for friends, families, and as a freelance dog sitter. Together, we live with our two-year-old French Bulldog, July, who’s full of energy, incredibly friendly, and loves spending time with other dogs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the park, or relaxed walks, your dog will be welcomed into a warm, calm, and dog-friendly home where they’ll be treated like one of our own. With years of hands-on experience, plenty of love to give, and a genuine passion for animals, we’re committed to providing your furry friend with the care, attention, and affection they deserve while you’re away. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home! 🐶❤️ 🕒 My Schedule & Daily Routine I work from home most of the week, which means your dog will never be left alone. I’m also off on Saturdays and Sundays, so weekends are all about spending quality time with pups! I take my dog out three times a day — in the morning, afternoon, and again before bedtime. On sunny days, I love heading to the park for longer walks, fresh air, and fun play sessions. Whether it’s a calm stroll or some zoomies in the grass, your dog will be part of my routine and treated like family every step of the way. I believe dogs thrive with attention, love, and structure — and that’s exactly what I offer every day. 🐾🌞 🔒 Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. I live in a secure, pet-friendly home with no hazards and plenty of space for your dog to relax and feel at ease. My neighborhood is quiet and surrounded by green spaces, perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor time. I always supervise playtime and mealtimes, and I’m happy to stick to your dog’s routine, dietary needs, or specific instructions. July, my Frenchie, is well-socialized and gentle with other dogs, creating a calm and welcoming environment for new furry friends. I treat every dog like a part of my family — with love, respect, and the same level of care I give my own. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. With me, your dog is not just in safe hands — they’re in loving ones. 🐶💖🏡

Terri looked after our cats Mali and Cleo whilst we were away for 7 days. She was great, very caring and kept us up to date with lovely pictures and an update on how they were doing daily. We were really impressed and would definitely use her services again the next time we go away 😊
Evelyne is such a king and attentive sitter. She was very diligent in her visits, taking care of everything and always sending detailed updates with many photos. She also proactively made many useful suggestions to improve my cat's living conditions. Thank you very much!
Shettley was FANTASTIC! She was so attentive to my two cats and sent me lovely videos, showing how comfortable they were with her. She kept me informed all through the weekend, and it was very reassuring. It was ckk k ear that they were well looked after. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.

This is the second time ‘Aunty’ Anji has looked after our 3 naughty Kits. They were thoroughly spoiled and we came back to 3 happy chilled cats who did not miss us one bit! I absolute recommend Anji who goes above and beyond including wonderful photos of their shenanigans.
A lovely lady. My cats are very suspicious of people, but Storm took to Ksenia very quickly. Breeze a little later. Her careful approach and gentle persona soon soon them over in no time. I received regular updates on them, as well as photos, which took away the story of how they were getting on. I would recommend Ksenia to sit for your 🐈/ 🐈 🐈
Kat was wonderful with Beau, visiting him twice a day, spending time with him to keep him company and sending us lovely pictures and videos. She also kindly looked after our greenhouse plants and veg plot in scorchingly hot weather and did a fabulous job. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.
Roxane was lovely to meet and the perfect partner for our cat Alfie while we were away. She did everything we asked for in terms of food and water, medication and litter and spent time bonding with Alfie too. Daily updates per visit were fantastic and everything was clean and tidy when we returned. If you're thinking of booking her, do it!
Tsvetelina is absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Before the booking even started, she took the time to come and meet my cat, which made both me and my cat feel much more comfortable. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. During every visit, she completed everything I asked, including changing the water, refilling the food, cleaning the litter box, and making sure everything was tidy. She also paid attention to the little details, like checking if the weather was too hot and making sure my cat was comfortable. I especially appreciated the detailed updates after every visit. She always sent videos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also spent time playing with my cat and was incredibly patient and friendly, rather than just stopping by to complete the tasks. I truly felt that my cat was in the best hands. I highly recommend Tsvetelina to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again in the future!
Maria is not only a cat sitter but a very caring, responsible & loving human being who goes above & beyond to make sure your cat & house is safe & looked after well. I have used her services for my cat many times before & will continue using her. Highly recommended. Thank you Maria for all your love to my Cat.
Janice was wonderful. My cats are quite scared as they are rescues from the RSPCA and had difficult starts in life but she even managed to get them to venture out to see her. Pics were sent and daily updates. Everything was neat and tidy and the cats are happy. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again.
I can’t even begin to thank Ingryd for taking all the stress out of leaving your fur baby at home! She popped in every evening to check on our cat, emptied her litter box, gave treats, and even added ice cubes to her water fountain! Ingryd also watered our plants, and brought in parcels that had been left outside. We won’t hesitate to get in contact next time we go on holiday, and we can’t thank you enough! :)
It was our first time meeting Cathy, and those two weeks were wonderful. We had complete peace of mind. Today is her last day.🥲 Our cat was a bit shy (perhaps a little too much), and Cathy gave him the space he needed. I am so grateful.✨ She was very kind, knowledgeable, and excellent with timing. She kept us fully updated at all times with messages and photos. Thank you for everything; to anyone in need of a sitter—Cathy was absolutely fantastic, without a doubt! 🙏🏻

There are 8,222 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Harrow. About 90% of Harrow 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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
