House Sitting in Harrow

About: When I talk about the animals I look after with people, they initially assume it’s a person I’m referring to because of the way I talk about them. Like the caption says I prefer Animals to many people. I’ve take care of family and friends animals for years and want to broaden the range. Currently house sitting in Northolt for a family of 4 cats and a beautifully fluffy rescue dog. I also regularly dog walk and sit for friends when they’re low on help. I work from home w/ flexible hours and can do most timings, I also drive and walk w/ or without pets as I love nature so can incorporate them in to my daily life/routine easily, I always have wellies and treats/water. I am also an early riser so tend to walk 645am, 12-3pm and then again in the evening also. I am confident with animals and will defer to owners judgement when it comes to all things relating to their animals. I have house sit experience and am also used to storing multiple sets of keys. Also happy to walk w/ other dog walkers locally.

“Dan is always excellent - he takes great care of our dog and was more than happy to take on a friend's at late notice. We really appreciate how easy to communicate with he is, and his flexibility”

About: I have looked after cats and dogs, including my own pets. I have looked after a variety of pets since i was 8 years old, and currently have a 6 year old black cat. I currently work a hybrid job, so i can work from anywhere when i am not in the office. I also have a non working day on Mondays. So i can regularly dog walk/dog sit Saturdays-Mondays. On other weekdays i can visit a house to feed/walk the dog if i am given enough notice, so i can plan my schedule around that. I can't have any pets at my own home, as my cat does not like other animals. But i am more than willing to go to a clients house to provide care for their dog/cat.

About: 10 years experience of take care of a dog when I was a kid, and 2 years experience take care of a cat since 2022. I’m currently a postgraduate student, and have no class on summer days so have time to take care and play with your dogs and cats! I currently don’t have any pet in London, I allowed pets walk around in any area in my flat even on sofa. Will keep my easy-broken stuff safe before ur pets visit!

About: I’ve always been the go-to person for neighbours, friends, and family when it comes to walking, feeding, and caring for their pets. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to older dogs. I’m confident with basic training, especially for young pups, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s needs and personality. Your pet will be treated like one of the family – with patience, playtime, and plenty of love. I’m on a career break right now, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’ve got lots of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve – whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your furry friend feels loved and well looked after. When caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to respect the space and follow your pet’s routine closely. I take time to get to know their needs, habits, and any house rules you have in place. Safety is my top priority - from keeping doors secure to watching for any signs of stress or discomfort. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands and a familiar, loving environment.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life; cats, dogs, rodents, birds, reptiles, you name it! This means I've developed a huge love for all animals and adore spending time with them! I have some experience with administering medications for dogs and guinea pigs, and also dealing with nervous/anxious dogs. I am currently working in a school so am available at weekends, and weekdays after 4 term-time. I am available all week during the school holidays. Please do enquire even if you require services outside of these times, I may still be able to help! As of July 2025 I will be offering pet care full time! I cannot currently provide boarding for cats and dogs from my own home due to space, however I am able to board smaller animals such as rodents. Although my own dog is friendly, they would be kept in a separate space with the door closed to ensure they are safe. When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep to their routine as much as I can to make sure they are as comfortable and happy as possible.

About: My name is Maria and I’ve always loved animals and grew up surrounded by guinea pigs, bunnies, dogs, birds, and cats. Each one has their own unique personality and way of showing love, and I truly appreciate that. The deep connection I feel with animals is what drives my passion for caring for them. Some of these connections feel timeless, which is why I’m here on Rover. My goal is to make sure your pet feels completely at home while you’re away or enjoys every moment of their walk. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just calm company, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and happy. I currently work part-time, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. My partner, who has cared for cats his whole life, also works from home, so our house is always ready to welcome pets anytime. If you’re in the Harrow area, I’m happy to pop over for dog walks or house sitting whenever you need. Your pet will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, caring environment. At our home, your dog can enjoy our safe, gated backyard where they can roam and play freely. We also have a lovely park nearby for walks, so your pet gets plenty of fresh air and exercise in a secure and fun environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s routine to keep things familiar and comfortable. I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for, giving them attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. Creating a safe, trusting, and loving environment is my top priority whether your pet is with me or staying in their own space.

“Great sitter. Winston was happy and received good feedback on his behaviour!”

About: I’ve owned a retriever, husky and cocker spaniel in the past. I love all dogs, and especially love giving them the outdoor attention and playing time they deserve! I have raised a puppy so am well equip it for all dog ages. I’m free this summer! Currently on break from university studies. My availability is pretty open so pop me a message to check for availability so I can suite your needs. I love to give dogs as much space and autonomy as possible when on walks, however a leash is always worn unless specifically told by the owner their recall is treat-driven.

“Blaze looked after our Ralph amazingly and I couldn’t have felt more relaxed about his care. Ralph is nervous around new people and Blaze made him feel so comfortable and he even felt at ease enough to give her a cuddle on the sofa! She sent lots of photos which was lovely and took Ralph out on plenty of walks (we live in a flat). Ralph had a lovely day and I would definitely recommend Blaze and use her again! Thank you so much Blaze!”

About: I've always wanted a dog of my own but have never had the time to have one because of work commitments, I also had a very spoilt cat up until last year and she wouldn't have approved of a doggy sister or brother. I currently walk my friend's Labrador and enjoy it so much and would really love to do this more often. I'm hoping to do more walks with my dad to keep us both fit and healthy and a dog would be a lovely added reason to be out and about. I will be responsible and keep your dog safe. Keep it away from any busy roads and keep it on the lead. The nearest park to me is Canons Park but any around the Edgware, Canons Park or Stanmore area would be easy to get to. I’m super responsible and will keep you updated about your pet, will take care of them as if they were my own. Thanks for reading and look forward to hearing from you and looking after your pet when you need me.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me a lot about meeting the daily needs of pets, from feeding and exercise to attention and affection. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every job. I'm patient, reliable, and always pay attention to each dog's unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. As an 18-year-old with a flexible schedule, I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walking, feeding, and check-ins. I can work around your pet’s routine and am happy to adjust timing as needed. Whether it’s regular daily walks or occasional care while you're away, I’m reliable and easy to coordinate with. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by sticking closely to their normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medications, or just spending quality time with them. I always treat pets and homes with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I know how important trust is when someone lets you care for their furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: I grown up with dogs since young age and I now have two small dogs (cavapoo & maltipoo) at home. We’d love to meet more friends to play together 🖤🐶🐶 I work hybrid, I take my dogs to office when I work in the office. We walk to office which is 30mins away on foot I have a big balcony for furry babies to run around, safe area where my own dogs also love to spend their time there. I will treat your fury babies like my own cuz i love dogs 🐶 🖤

“Prim was able to look after my 3 dogs at short notice when the previous person was unable to come due to an illness. She dealt with their issues very well and although there was another issue whilst house sitting, she dealt with it really well. I received lots of photos and updates and would recommend her. Would happily have her sit my dogs again.”

About: My flat is ground floor and has a double entrance for extra safety. I have a cat but he’s very good with other pets. I live in Harrow. I work from home and I don’t go anywhere over Christmas. I live by myself and enjoy the company of pets, and I am a very responsible person. My cat has always eaten the best food and I believe in spoiling pets as much as possible. I also have dogs in my family home.

About: Ask anyone and they will tell you how much I love dogs. I turn my head anytime I see a pooch on the street. I started out looking after a friend's Yorkshire terrier then in lockdown minded dogs for neighbours and locals via Borrow my Doggy. It gave me a good foundation for minding dogs and I found it a joyful addition to my routine. I am currently in between jobs so can afford good quality time. I've looked after senior dogs as well young ones. I'm also familiar with the more nervous temperaments and have learned how to be sensitive to their needs. I'm currently job hunting and so have lots of spare time to attend to play and fun. For longer term bookings, a day or weekend board beforehand really helps me to understand your pet's personality and needs. It also allows them to get a good feel for the home. I live with my dad in a semi detached house with a garden so quite a bit of space. Give them your heart and they will give you theirs" Marley and Me. Love. Pure and simple. But play and interaction is a key component of my care. I like to make a dog feel part of the family and happy to be around us. I take them on their walks in parks ( I have a few nearby) or little days out so they can explore (only when we're confident with each other). I tend not to take them off leash because I don't want to take that risk with your loved dog. I love taking photos of dogs (which I send to owners throughout the stay) and do the odd pet portrait as a hobby.

“Our rescue dog has found adjusting post lock down very difficult. She hates for any of us to leave as we were all in the house so much and she is very wary of strangers. She was happy straight away with Christina and sat on her lap. So far it has been an excellent relationship.”

About: Hi there! I'm Julia and I live with 2 friends in Harrow! We all love animals and have a great home here with plenty of space to take care of your pet while you're away! I have personally had 3 dogs in the past, 2 boxers and a bulldog, and also a rabbit! But currently I don't have any pets :( that's one reason why I love pet sitting, I can experience the joys of having a furry little friend for a few days or weeks. I will give them lots of attention, hugs, play, grooming, treats and love! :) I have experience looking after house cats and small, medium and large dogs. My favourite breeds are retrievers, pugs, dalmatians, bichon frise... And many more! They are able to relax in my quiet ground floor 1 bed flat, sunbathe and chase toys in the garden. We are able to take them for 1 or 2 walks per day! We live 2 mins from a nice park and other green spaces. We are not too fussy about pets going on furniture as long as they are clean, and we love pets that can relax, enjoy themselves and enjoy snuggles ☺️ We work part time only and I am always at home as I have an online job! Stress free home environment and no other pets around. We are both homebodies and are very fit and healthy. We are also very playful and love other animals too like cats and rabbits! 😍 Very flexible schedule. I'm at home all week as I'm able to work remotely 🏡 We are usually either at home or doing something in the local area. I don't normally leave your pets home alone as I'm not sure how they will react. Most dogs get anxious, bark or chew when left alone so we don't risk it. I want your pet to be comfortable :) Very loving, safe, friendly environment. We have a huuuuuge safe private garden, which is fenced. With grass and patio. We live in a nice safe area generally and the house backs onto a huge park!! So many walks can be had!
