House Sitting Harrow

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, I have had a whole different variety of animals from dogs to parrots to an African Pygmy hedgehog, I studied animal management at college including animal behaviour and I have had work experience at kennels and pets at home, I moved to London in 2025 and up until that point I have always had animals around me so I miss having a connection with animals, I have a dog who’s living back at my parents house in Somerset as I couldn’t bring him with me and he has 2 other friends with him who he grew up with so I felt it was unfair of me to take him away from them, I have experience walking dogs of all sizes from my dog (British bulldog/shar pei) to pugs and even walk with 5+ greyhounds at one point, I love animals with my whole heart and I would love to be able to take care of your animal for you! I am currently working full time hours as a support worker for adults in their own home, I don’t currently have any pets due to the landlord not allowing us to have pets! I miss being able to care for animals and have a connection with them which I would hope to be able to do with your animals! I have a fenced detached garden which is available to use for a run around and I also have a large park next doors which would be suitable for use!

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. 🐶💖🏡

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 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.

“Claire was fabulous. Thank you soo much”

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.

“Kat was great and ensured that my cat was well-looked after while I'm away.”

“Sabrina was fantastic at looking after my excitable puppy. She was punctual, polite and an absolute natural with dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and left my house very clean and tidy. My puppy had a lovely time with her and I'm very grateful for the care and attention she gave. Thanks sabrina”

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.......

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.

“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!”

“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 ♥️”

“Emilia and her partner Adam were amazing with my puppy! They kept him entertained all day and was evidently well looked after. My flat was left clean and tidy also which is so helpful. I was running late coming back from work and they were willing to stay longer to ensure my puppy was not left alone which was really kind of them. I would definitely recommend Emilia and Adam to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

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: 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.

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.

“Malaya is friendly with great communication and was very keen to learn from us how best to look after our rescue staffie Daisy. Malaya has experience training and looking after dogs in the past and it shows in the questions she asked and how she interacted with Daisy. Daisy was well cared for and the house left clean and tidy, we would happily recommend Malaya as a sitter.”

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.

“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.😊”
