Holistic care for animals who need it most.

In-home pet sitting and holistic animal therapies for anxious, elderly, sensitive and medically complex pets - in Rochford, Essex and beyond. 

Some pets need more than someone to fill their bowl and open the door.  They need calm, unhurried presence. Someone who understands that anxiety isn't stubbornness, that a rescue dog's hesitation isn't a problem to fix, and that an elderly cat's routine is a form of medicine.

That's what Rowan's House is here for.

You're in the right place if...

Your dog is anxious or reactive.         You've recently rehomed a rescue.        

Your pet needs medication or recovery support.    You have a senior animal with complex medical needs.    

You have indoor or multi-cat households.      You want holistic care, not just babysitting.            

You've struggled to find a sitter you truly trust.

Care that goes deeper

All Rowan's House care takes place in your pets own home.  Not because it's convenient - but because for sensitive animals familiar surroundings are genuinely therapeutic.  Their scents, their routines. their safe corners:  these things matter, and I work with them rather than around them.

Alongside in-house sitting, I offer holistic therapies including Animal Reiki, herbal support, and behaviour therapy- individually tailored to each animal.   For many pets, particularly those recovering from trauma or living with chronic conditions, these approaches work quietly and powerfully alongside conventional care.

I also offer digital guides and online consultations for pet owners who want to support their animals' wellbeing at home - whatever your situation, there's a way for us to work together.
