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: 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!

“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: 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. 🐶💖🏡
“Bridget has been paying drop-visits to my elderly Shitzu. She was caring and it is obvious that she loves dogs. Bridget is always willing to help, understanding, and I strongly recommend her.”
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.
“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: Hi, I’m Krishna! I’m a huge animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for dogs. I grew up with two amazing dogs who mean the world to me. Since getting married last year, I’ve moved in with my husband and his parents, so my dogs have stayed at my family home with my mum. I miss them every day, which inspired me to start dog walking and pet visits so I can continue spending time with dogs doing something I love. I’m also passionate about animal welfare and support causes such as Guide Dogs and Rescue Paws, helping to feed and care for stray dogs whenever I can. I work from home, so I’m very flexible with my availability, and I’m lucky to have several lovely parks nearby for enjoyable walks. I’m patient, caring and attentive, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit or some playtime and company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy and well cared for. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend and give them the love, care and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home full time with flexible hours which means I can provide pet care in the mornings, lunch time and evenings 7 days a week. I’ll ensure all doors are shut securely so the dogs can’t run away and there are no hazardous obstacles in the way that could cause harm.

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: 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: Hello, I am Christina and I am the owner of a cat and a dog. Unfortunately, I had to leave my cat in Greece when I moved to London but she stays with my aunt. In London, I have a 6-year-old Jack Russel Terrier and she truly is my best friend. I sincerely believe that pets love me as much as I love them and I could really be a great help to owners who cannot spend as much time as they would want with their loved ones. This past year, I completed the Pet Nutrition Diploma, the Pet Psychology Diploma, the Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Diploma and the Veterinary Support Care Assistant Diploma at the New Skills Academy. Furthermore, I am planning on getting a pet first-aid certificate in order to be able to help a pet in need.
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: I have grown up with dogs. My dog is now 13 years old, so I know how to deal with pet young and old. I love a walk myself so happy to walk dogs. I have a great deal of patience with animals. I will provide calm, attentive and trustworthy care for your best friend. I currently work freelance so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week. I'm able to drive and happy to travel around London, when needed. I walk my own dog once a day, but if your dog needs more walks then I'm happy to accommodate this. I have a large enclosed garden with a lawn and an outside warm and cold tap. There is also a large spacious kitchen/ dining room where pets are very welcome to relax / sleep or play.

Zsuzsanna took wonderful care of my cat, Tiny Tiger, while I was away. She was kind, reliable and communicative throughout, and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent. She was also incredibly understanding and flexible when plans changed at the last minute due to a friend helping out. I felt completely reassured knowing Tiny Tiger was in such caring hands, and I definitely want to book her again. Highly recommended! ❤️
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.
Oh my goodness! How lucky are we to have found Tara to look after our beautiful old Fatty! He's a very vocal Bengal and he's certainly not shy about telling you what he wants! But Tara "got" him immediately and clearly bonded with him, which made us feel very comfortable leaving him be cared for by Tara in our absence. We received daily updates, photos and videos (which were absolutely brilliant!) and made us feel even more grateful to have found such a brilliant, caring person. Oh, and on our return, the place was absolutely spotless! So grateful to Tara and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her as a first class stand in cat mummy
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! :)
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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
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.
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 .
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
