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: 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.
“This is the second time we've used Tara and she was fantastic again! Very communicative and provided us with lots of pictures of Smokey while we were away. She even tided up in the flat which was way above and beyond what we expected. Will definitely book again. ”

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: 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!
“Amazing cat whisperer! I have used Terri’s services a couple of times now and always satisfied with the level of service provided. Even Mimi ‘my not so sociable cat’ loves her!”
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.
About: I provide structured, reliable dog walking in the Harrow area, tailored to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and routine needs. I’m equally comfortable with high energy dogs that need a good run and structured exercise, as well as nervous or reactive dogs who benefit from calm, steady handling and predictable walks. I adapt my approach depending on what your dog needs on the day. Walks are primarily in safe, quiet green spaces and natural routes, giving dogs a chance to explore, decompress, and return home settled rather than overstimulated. I focus on consistency, safety, and clear communication. I’m punctual, attentive, and always mindful of leash control, recall habits, and each dog’s individual behaviour patterns. Whether your dog needs, a fast paced walk, structured exercise, or a calm sensory walk, I adjust accordingly. I stay calm and observant with dogs, especially in unpredictable environments. I don’t rush walks unnecessarily, but I can match higher energy levels when needed for younger or active dogs. My approach is steady, responsive, and focused on keeping dogs engaged and secure throughout the walk. If you’re looking for a dependable local walker who can adapt to your dog’s personality and energy level while prioritising safety and routine, message me for a free meet and greet. I regularly make trips to Rickmansworth to walk friends through Croxley Hall Woods, and closer to home I alternate between Headstone Park and Harrow Recreation Ground. Proper green space, not just pavements. I call all dogs puppies. Every single one. And the only time you'll catch me on my phone is to take photos of them. I'm not a militant walker. Sniffing is actively encouraged. A walk isn't just exercise, it's information gathering, and puppies deserve time to read the world at their own pace. If your dog has homework from obedience school, bring it on. I'm happy to practise commands and routines on our walks. On days I'm home working on music or sound design, my visiting puppies are right here on the couch, very much entertained of course. No unattended guests here, ever. Honestly, I need these walks as much as the dogs do. This isn't a side hustle I picked up last week. It's just how I live. My home is calm, clean and pup friendly. Puppies have access to fresh filtered water at all times. Food and medication go straight into my calendar so nothing is ever late or missed. Your dog eats and takes their meds exactly when they're used to, no exceptions. New puppies don't just get dropped into a group. Introductions always happen on neutral ground first. I watch how they interact before anyone comes home with me, and if I ever feel uncomfortable with a dog's behaviour around others, they become a solo visitor. The safety of animal already in my care comes first. I don't allow unattended roaming in my home. Puppies are supervised throughout the day. I take a five minute break every twenty five minutes. This is when I practise tricks, hand out focused cuddles and love on my pups. Bathroom breaks are on lead. No unsupervised outdoor time. My nearest vet is 600 metres away and I can be there in under six minutes on foot. I know exactly where I'm going if I ever need to move quickly. I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day. You won't be left wondering how your dog is doing.
“Kat was absolutely amazing. We had absolutely no worries with her looking after our two babies Taotao and Babciu. We got wonderful pics and Kat was so accommodating with any issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Thanks Kat! ”
“Mostafa took amazing care of my pet and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with animals. He kept me updated, followed all instructions carefully, and treated my pet with genuine love and attention. I came home to a happy and relaxed pet, which says everything. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced around both energetic and calm pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving animals attention based on their individual needs. I’m also comfortable providing regular updates, photos, and sticking closely to any routines or instructions given by owners. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel happy, cared for, and relaxed 🐾 I am working part time. My availability is: Tuesday, Friday,Saturday and Sunday.I am also available on Thursday AFTER 1:30pm. On my free days I would love to spend time with pets and make sure they have the best time!! My house is a comfortable environment with a massive garden for the pets to play in, there is also a park behind my house, so walks can be done as many time as you require! They have an area to eat and sleep happily.
About: Hi, it's Elena. I grew up with dogs, all different sizes, breeds and tempers. I've been caring for small dogs (terriers, beagles, mongrels), teaching them a few tricks, walking, entertaining them and large dogs (golden retrievers, alsatians, huskies, czechoslovakian wolfdogs, drahthaars), mainly for exercise and movement. I'm mostly available over the weekend. I live in Stanmore/Canons Park and I would prefer to stay in the area. But I do have a car so I can accommodate drop offs or pick ups further away. I do not have any preferences in terms of size and/or age. I can have my dog Pika with me, unless your dog is afraid or not social enough - just let me know! She's a quite energetic, loving, 8-year-old pup. Pika is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. She's the perfect play date, especially if you have a large, fluffy dog! If you become a repeat client and might be looking for a short stay for your pup while you are on holiday, I live in my own house (with Pika) and I have a generous fenced garden, patio and living space for the pups to play and snooze. It will just depend on my schedule. Currently taking a leave from my day-to-day job to focus on my personal life, so I'm very flexible with times. I'm also usually around during the main holidays. If you might be interested in holiday boarding, just give me a shout. I'm happy to discuss all your pet's needs. Whether it's in my house, in your house or at the park, my priority is safety so it's good to know as much as possible about your dog and their habits.

Jill has just spent a week looking after my cat, Rosie. They are both very fond of each other as can be seen by the very welcome daily videos that Jill sends. Jill is an excellent cat-sitter and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again - and I am sure Rosie agrees!
Evelyne has been an amazing person with so much care, attention, detail and thought looking after my mums cat while was abroad for 3 weeks. She is an excellent communicator and provided exceptional daily updates of Rusty to put my mum at ease. She also went ‘over and above’ with ideas and suggestions to improve his care and she also helped me with a vet appointment. It’s so obvious how much she loves animals and has a genuine care attitude. We will only ever use Evelyne again and consider her a close friend to Rusty as well as she bonded so well with him. I can’t thank her enough or recommend her more highly than this. An absolute gem!!
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! 🙏🏻
Mostafa took amazing care of my pet and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with animals. He kept me updated, followed all instructions carefully, and treated my pet with genuine love and attention. I came home to a happy and relaxed pet, which says everything. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!
We were really pleased to have Tracey. She was very professional and reliable. Our cat, who is usually quite cautious, quickly warmed to her and clearly appreciated the special attention and new toys she brought on each visit. Tracey was thorough and thoughtful in her approach and a genuinely safe pair of hands. We really appreciated the lovely photo's updates after each visit. We would not hesitate to book her again!
I was incredibly anxious about leaving Banshee, as I’m very particular about who looks after her and I rarely feel fully comfortable being away. However, Ingryd was absolutely amazing from the very beginning and made the entire experience so much easier for me. Her communication was exceptional throughout, very responsible, clear, reassuring, and consistent. She checked in properly every day, kept me updated without me having to ask, and made sure everything was documented carefully with detailed report cards and plenty of photos. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Banshee’s wellbeing and routine, which gave me a huge sense of relief while travelling. By the second day, I felt completely at ease and was finally able to enjoy my trip properly without constant anxiety or worrying about home. That level of trust is very rare for me, so it really says a lot about how reliable and attentive Ingryd is. When I returned home, the apartment was also spotless and tidy, which I really appreciated after a long journey. Banshee was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Ingryd again in the future. 💖✨
It was great to have Milly again! My cats have really taken to her now and give her a lovely welcome when she comes. I am especially pleased that the shy one now feels comfortable enough to even sleep with her! She is conscientious and always keeps me up to date. Highly recommended!
This is the 3rd time I've used Maria for coming to visit and feed my cats, and it won't be the last time. Maria is fantastic, and so attentive. My cats are always so happy to see her and are very sad when her visits are over. She spend time with them and sends daily photos and videos, which is very reassuring. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Maria.
Beatriz is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, calm and patient, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely cares. She asked thoughtful questions and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. I felt completely at ease leaving my puppy with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
We were away for over ten days during Christmas and Amiee took such great care of our cat, Obiwan. She always stayed for a good amount of time during each visit, genuinely cared about Obi’s feelings, played with him, and kept everything very clean and tidy. Throughout our trip, she sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us real peace of mind. When we came back, Obi was calm, happy, and clearly very well looked after. We’re extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend Amiee.
Priya is the best!!!! She dropped in every few days to watch our lonely kitty cat while we were on holiday for two and a half weeks. She looked after her food and water, litter box, her light grooming needs (she was even able to snip off a little bit of matted hair which is a big deal because our cat doesn’t love any kind of grooming!) She played with our cat and gave her pets, and kept an eye on our house as well. Snow was very well cared for and Priya was SUPER communicative, prompt, professional, and just all around lovely to work with. I would trust her with Snow’s care again, and would 10/10 recommend her as a pet sitter! She’s wonderful.
I’m so happy I asked them to take care of Nancy! I feel like I’ve finally found the people I can always trust whenever we travel. They followed Nancy’s little routines so sweetly, from brushing always followed by playtime as a reward, to her extra-watered food slurping, and even adjusting her little tent made of pillows. They were also happy to take care of my extra requests. I received plenty of photos, videos and updates which made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely ask them again next time! And the extra special thing is that they live in the same building as we do – it really feels like a bond. My husband and I live with Nancy, and we were bringing our moms over from abroad for a little London trip. Because of that, they even vacuumed up the cat litter to make sure the apartment was nice and tidy, without me even asking. They are wonderful. 💛 I’m greatful thank you guys 🙏🐾💛

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Harrow 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.

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 Harrow 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!

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.
