“Catherine was wonderful with our elderly dog. Kept us updated with videos and photos, and we could see that he was relaxed and happy with her. Great communication and care, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Thanks so much!”
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.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my entire life and would love to welcome yours into my life too! I’m an active, confident, and caring pet sitter, whatever shape or size your four-legged friend comes in. I can go for daily walks in Stanmore Deer Park or Harrow Weald. My experience also includes volunteering at a stray dog center in Morocco, where I learned a lot about how to care for and build trust with disadvantaged dogs. What I Offer: 🐾 A safe and loving home environment: Your pet will be treated like family in my house. 🐾 Reliable care: I am committed to following all your instructions, from feeding schedules to medication. 🐾 Daily exercise and fun: We'll enjoy plenty of walks and playtime. 🐾 Peace of mind: You'll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I'm new-ish to Rover, which is why I've offered a reduced rate, but I'm certainly not new to pet care. Just reach out if you have any questions! —————————— I work from home 4-5 days a week and so fill my time with a very active, flexible and attentive routine. I do project work remotely, so control my own day and caring for a pet will actually fill it with more fun! I will be able to take frequent breaks for walking, attention and generous petting. —————————— I have a large, fenced and locked garden, as well as a 3 storey house that pets are free to roam (with an eye on them of course!). We have space for any crates or trays needed, as well as plenty of big green spaces nearby. ——————————
About: Hi, I’m Shanti. I’m a peaceful, dependable cat, dog and small-animal sitter. I really enjoy spending time with animals and helping them feel safe, very loved and settled while their family are away. Their wellbeing is everything, so I take time to listen in to what they are wanting from me, helping them feel relaxed and understood. I’ve been caring for animals and pet sitting for over 30 years and am experienced with the emotional and physical rehabilitation of rescue dogs & cats. I’ve also had the joy of my own gerbils and fish. Alongside pet sitting, I work in holistic wellbeing as a coach, wellness centre owner, massage therapist and energy healer. This comes in handy when pets want a good massage, belly rub or healing for any areas of discomfort. 😍 In the last few years I have done many private cat and dog sits, as my current digital nomad lifestyle allows for me to combine sits with my other work. Owners love that I’m with their pets for most of the time, and give them lots of love, care and attention, with regular photo / video updates, whilst taking great care of the home. I’m very self sufficient, keep the home clean, tidy, plants watered, post and parcels brought in and happy to assist with extra tasks by arrangement. I currently oversee my wellness centre online so I can work from anywhere in the world that has a good internet connection and a clean and pleasant area to put my laptops. I adore the company of pets and treat them with the same love and care as my own. I take care of pets in the owners home. I currently reside in London with my own car, so can travel pretty much anywhere in the UK and happy to consider sits abroad if the travel is viable.
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was born! I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from puppies to elderly dogs, and from chihuahuas to shepherd dogs. I am knowledgable about the basic training principals and have experience in supporting owners’ training structure while their pets are under my care. My chihuahua at home is my best best friend. I WFH with flexible schedule. I love going on walks around different neighbourhoods and what’s better than having a furry companion for it?! House/pet-sitting would also be considered based on rapport :) I have experience walking dogs that are more reactive and always remain fully alert to ensure safety for both dogs, owners and the public. Please let me know if your dog is particularly reactive and the common triggers so I may adjust accordingly.
“I was initially a bit anxious about leaving my dogs and house with a stranger, but Ayesha is lovely and was the perfect dog/housesitter! We arranged to meet prior to her looking after the dogs. Bailey and Luna liked her straight away, which was very reassuring. Apart from a slight misunderstanding on timings on the first day, everything went really well. Ayesha sent photo and video updates and even a few voice notes. She stripped the bed, hoovered the house and even put the heating on. We came back to a warm, clean house and 2 happy dogs. Thanks Ayesha; I'll certainly be in contact with you again.😊”
“Just amazing, Christina has took great care of Parson whilst we’ve been on holiday, really responsive, super supportive of Parson as it’s the first time when we’ve been away and he found it a little hard, but Christina took such brilliant care of him. If you’re ever needing a dog sitter who gives amazing care and let’s you feel calm that your pet is being looked after, then Christina is for sure the one to book! Hi”
About: Since my early teens I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and all manner of domestic and farm animals including horses of which I have two. I have looked after both puppies and senior dogs; including those with medical conditions, so I understand and can cater to any animal’s specific needs. Please feel free to get in touch with me and let me know how I can help you and your fur-babies! I am newly venturing into Rover and currently work full-time; Monday to Friday so my main availability is weekends and evenings. On the weekends my time is mainly spent outdoors at the farm - offering a unique opportunity for your dogs to explore the countryside in a safe environment. I am able to offer a quiet, homely setting for your animals or alternatively I can pet sit in your own home to ensure they feel as comfortable as possible. I am also able to offer walks on a private farm with encompasses large open fields and a quiet countryside that is both fun and safe for them to enjoy. I’d be happy to send videos and pictures of them out on their walks.
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 now able to offer services full time around my regular clients and my own dog, please do enquire as my schedule changes weekly! 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: I have always wanted a puppy of my own but never had the chance as my parents don't allow pets in the house but I’ve grown up around family friends who own puppies and I am very good around them . I offer dog walking around Harrow. I prefer friendly and gentle dogs as it makes me feel welcomed by them and that it will be easy to get along with them . I am quite well organised and very friendly with animals which helps me get along with them . I am available most afternoons and evenings and would love to spend time with your dog. I am working part time this year so I have plenty of time right now to earn some extra income and gain more experience with dogs as I would like to own a dog one day. I am free most evenings and weekends. I do not offer boarding but I am happy to come to the pet owners house to look after their pets. I cannot do overnight stays but I can do a daytime sittings
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 three to four times a week. I live by myself and enjoy the company of pets, and I am a very responsible person. I take a lot of pics of cats that stay with me so happy to send them to you during your pet’s stay! My cat has always eaten the best food and I believe in spoiling pets as much as possible. I have a garden but for my peace of mind I don’t allow pets outside, as they might get lost in an unknown area. They are allowed in bedroom living room kitchen and toilet and can sleep wherever they feel like.
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.
About: Hi, my name is Stephanie and I LOVE dogs and cats and anything with four legs I grew up with dogs and have had them in my life for nearly 50 years. My passion is rescue dogs and all my dogs have been rescues. Now before I go any further....please can I ask you to take a minute and read the following really carefully: I do not live on Olympic Way in Wembley nor in the immediate surrounds and unless your apartment block has parking facilities for collection/delivery/cat visits, or you are prepared to pay parking fees as well, I am so sorry but I cannot help you. Proof of on-site parking permission is also a strict requirement. What I do: I walk 4 dogs together max. If your dog is elderly I can do a half an hour walk @ £10. My areas of collection are Wembley, Kenton, Kingsbury, Sudbury court. I collect, return and walk your dog myself, I do not farm out to others. I can play with your dog - fetch &/or basic training games and I walk in all weathers. I ask that you please give me a 3 hour time period for when you would like your dog to be walked and I will try my best to walk him/her during that time slot. Please also note that I will keep your dog on a lead for walks until I feel that your dog is confident with me and can be trusted to return to me after being let off. Whilst I am principally a dog walker I am able to house/dog sit for you IN YOUR HOUSE whilst you are away (£35 per day and night). I am sorry but I am unable to board dogs in my own home. I am also able to do cat visits in my local area @ £15 per half hour visit, during this time I can play with your cat, fuss them, feed them, change litter etc. I am quite happy to meet up with you and your dog/cat initially at NO charge - contrary to the site specifications as I feel it is only fair that you get an idea about me and I about you and your dog/cat without this being chargeable. Finally, can I ask that you please that you only contact me if you are genuinely looking for a solid and reliable dog walker. Sad to say that I have had many people contact me that have just wasted my time with endless enquiries that have not been followed through. As I mention in my title I have been doing this a long time. I regularly dog/house sit for my own personal clients and have done numerous cat visits. I am recommended to clients through my local vet and I am able to supply many favourable references to my nature and reliability. I'm not sure if this site is showing my fees correctly so I will clarify here that my walks are £18 for a whole hour but you may need to book half an hour slots to pay this rate. Thank you for reading, I look forward to meeting you soon! Further info re schedule... This is my main and only job. I love all animals and they are part of my life it's not about fitting your pet in.... Further info re safety, trust & environment.... I will care for your cat/dog in your home. On walks your dog is my main priority. Not chatting with others or sitting on a park bench.......
“Emma was brilliant with our cockapoo puppy Ralph. She sent regular photo updates and made sure he was completely comfortable. I would definitely recommend and will be using Emma again. Thank you Emma!”

About: I have trained my dog myself since he was a puppy and deeply care for animals. I love looking after other pets and will always treat them with care and love, like how I'd treat my own dog. I am free most days. I can easily move my own tasks around to fit any pet sitting needs. I am quite flexible with timings too. I am offering dog walking services and I am always very careful on the routes I take, ensuring it’s a well lit and safe road.

Also being a mother i have the caring and natural nuturing instincts to love and protect your loved one. Before i became a sitter I was a frequent Rover customer and i found wonderful caretakers for my previous loved ones. We can arrange more than one meet and greet to help you choose the right fit. I am a retired laboratory technician and also a partime carer for my elderly mother.I walk daily as part of the Harrow Rec club where dogs are allowed on walks also.The rest of the time i spend gardening , doing puzzles,painting or baking. have a fenced garden.A Large bedroom and living room.Dogs only can sleep in the bed with me.No cats on the bed of plenty of dog toys.I have a safety gate by the front door.
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.

Harrow pet owners share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Ingryd. She stayed with our cat Mia for a weekend and was so attentive, making sure our home was clean and tidy when we returned. We loved the regular photos and video updates she sent. Thank you, Ingryd, we’ll definitely be booking you again!
Isabella was absolutely brilliant. She showed so much sensitivity and empathy towards Juni who was a bit timid to start with. Isabella stayed in touch throughout the day, spent time forging a bond with Juni who is usually super fussy about who she hangs out with! Juni was happily playing and sitting with Isabella when I got back. I will definitely be asking Isabella to come back ♥️
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Dawson took amazing care of our dog, Rio, while we were away for 10 days. He came for a meet-up and a few sittings beforehand so Rio could get used to him, which was incredibly thoughtful and made all the difference. He was reliable, always on time, and communicated really well throughout. Dawson was also very flexible with the timings we needed, which we appreciated a lot. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals — he was warm, patient, and not at all fazed by Rio’s personality or specific needs. It meant so much to see how he built an incredible bond with Rio, especially since Rio can be quite an anxious dog. The fact that Rio trusted him completely really says it all. Dawson also handled giving Rio his medication and followed all our feeding and care instructions perfectly. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. Highly recommend — we’d absolutely trust Dawson to look after Rio and our house again!
Philippa was absolutely perfect -a great dog sitter -our Cockapoo settled with her immediately and made himself at home on her lap and bed! She looked after him and our home so well, following our instructions so we can highly recommend her. A real weight off our minds giving us the freedom and confidence to leave our fur baby! Thank you Philippa😊
