House Sitting Bedale

“Tim was punctual, communicated clearly and obviously understands dogs. Our dog appeared to have a great day with Tim. We returned after a wedding to find Tim asleep on the couch with Roxy asleep on him.”

“Sophie was amazing, using Rover for the first time & not having ever left my 2 border terriers overnight at home before was something I’d wanted to do for ages but hadn’t been able to pluck up the courage ! Sophie was so thoughtful, easing my worries about my nervous border by taking time to come & meet them before the house sit which was invaluable. On the day, her calm professional approach resulted in her building a relationship with my nervous border which I am so grateful for & is really beneficial for the future. Thank you so much Sophie I now feel relaxed about planning the next house sit & am looking forward to leaving my dogs in safe hands again”

“Janette is an exceptional house guest and dog sitter. Special because of her humanity, her quick grasp of the owners' anxieties. She was a reassuring presence during my absence, her communication was top notch. Photos and text updates were both helpful and reassuring. Janette had a sick dog to care for whilst I was away. Her sensible and calmness observations, advice and checking in with me was both exceptional and professional. She clearly bonded with my dog who was assured of her constant attention. Her care for my dog was outstanding and as a careful curator of my home, the need to keep it clean and tidy, her cleaning prior to her departure was excellent. Janette is a home dog sitter sent from what must be a very small pool of sitters that you recommend. I would highly recommend her as an excellent, trustworthy and very kind, flexible and helpful people I personally have ever encountered in this role. FIVE STARS ÷ Dr Mark Jones. Durham, UK”

“Emily did a super job both looking after our dogs who were very well cared for and very happy but also in dealing with an unexpected plumbing emergency in the house. She was a superstar and we are very grateful to her.”

About: Hello 👋 I am Ruth, 34 and have a 9 year old mix Pip. She is a rescue and through endless love and training she has blossomed over the years from a nervous, shy, quivering pup into a friendly, confident and loving dog. She is in excellent health for her age and loves nothing more than to zoom around a field! I have trained 3 of my own dogs and believe in a loving, positive approach with sensible boundaries. I am extremely active so your dog will get plenty of exercise! I have experience with dogs from 12 weeks to senior. I am self-employed so have plenty of time to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I am very flexible and can work around you and your furry friend as I can't work from anywhere at any time. I have my lovely Pip to keep your pet company and lots of play and socialisation. I can walk, spend time with or care for your pet in your home. I am clean, tidy, respectful and trustworthy. I am keen on animal health and feeding a good diet and plenty of exercise, with constant access to water and regular toilet breaks.

About: Dogs, cats and many other animals have been in my life since birth. I love them around me. I am an active Guide Dog foster carer, experienced puppy trainer and a member of the Association of Dog Boarders. I am retired so am flexible and can devote time as needed by your pet and can fall into most routines that might be required by them. We have a secure, fenced garden that your pet can explore and which opens onto a large recreation field that is well used by dog walkers. Sociable dogs with good recall can have good fun there. We also have close access to countryside walks.

About: The Pawfect Getaway. I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. Over the years I’ve shared my home with working Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels and Labradors, so I’m very familiar with both energetic breeds and those who enjoy a steadier pace as they mature. Living with dogs has taught me the importance of consistency, patience and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship — not just exercise, but genuine care and presence. I also have experience administering medication, including tablets and routine treatments, and I’m happy to follow clear instructions to ensure your dog’s health needs are met properly and calmly. What Sets Me Apart Your dog would be cared for in my own home, not a kennel or busy multi-dog environment. I offer one-to-one care, meaning your dog gets my full attention and is treated as an individual, not part of a crowd. I take time to understand and maintain your dog’s existing routines — feeding times, walks, sleeping arrangements and any special habits — so they feel settled and secure while you’re away. Familiar routines make a world of difference to a dog’s happiness and wellbeing. I provide a quiet, relaxed, home-from-home environment, ideal for dogs who prefer calm company, personal attention, and a predictable day. My aim is always that your dog feels safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — and that you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind. Exclusive Perk: Secure Field Playtime! 🐾 Does your dog love to run full-speed but needs a completely safe space to do so? When your four legged friend stays with me, I can arrange and facilitate exclusive access to a fully grassed, securely fenced, and entirely safe private field. For 50 minutes of pure, uninterrupted fun, your dog will have the entire area all to themselves to sprint, sniff, and play to their heart's content—without any outside distractions or worries! It is the ultimate energy burner and a wonderful luxury for high-energy or reactive dogs who thrive with a bit of extra space. Please note that an additional fee applies for each field session. If you would love for your furry friend to enjoy this private playground experience during their stay, please enquire at the time of booking so we can secure their slot! Pet care fits very comfortably into my daily routine as I am retired and at home all day. This means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision, rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to structure my day around your dog’s usual routine, including regular walks, feeding times, medication if required, play, and plenty of rest. Being at home allows me to give unhurried, one-to-one attention, respond quickly to your dog’s needs, and provide reassurance throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys activity or prefers a quieter pace, I can adapt the day to suit them while keeping things familiar and calm. My aim is to offer a consistent, home-from-home experience, so your dog feels settled, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in a calm, structured, and attentive way, always treating them as individuals. When caring for dogs in my own home, I provide a safe, relaxed, home-from-home environment with plenty of supervision and one-to-one attention. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintaining established routines for feeding, walks, rest, play, and medication, as consistency is key to helping dogs feel secure. I take time to understand a pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavioural needs. I’m experienced with energetic breeds as well as dogs who prefer a quieter pace, and I adapt care accordingly. I ensure dogs are never left for long periods and always have companionship, comfort, and reassurance. When caring for pets in my home, I respect and follow the same careful approach — sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine, keeping their environment familiar, and providing calm, dependable care. My priority in every situation is the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety, and giving owners genuine peace of mind while they’re away.

“Kelly stayed overnight while we attended my daughter’s wedding, I was really scared letting a stranger stay overnight but after meeting her ,Kelly was lovely and we had no hesitation letting her stay in our home overnight to look after my fur babies. She kept us updated how to dogs were and it put me at ease, When we arrived home our dogs where happy and content like they had fun while we were away. I would recommend kelly to anyone and would definitely use her again.”

“Rachel has been an incredible sitter for our darling girl. Communication has been extremely professional throughout, from arranging the first meet right until handing over after our return home. Rachel kept us up to date with daily photos of Cleo on walks and playing. Our girl looked so happy and comfortable throughout. When we returned home the house was immaculate and small things let you know Rachel really cares about the animals she looks after and the experience of her customers! Our dog had played so hard with a toy it ripped but Rachel sourced a new one for her knowing how much she likes playing with it! I wouldn’t think twice about asking Rachel to look after our girl again, she has been a dream discovery for us and goes above and beyond!”

“Courtney was wonderful! Id highly recommend her if you need someone who clearly cares for animals and loves spending time with them. She looked after our golden retriever overnight and he was calm and content when we returned. She sent us photos and updates throughout the visit too. Will definitely use her again! Thank you!”

“Jane and Lee looked after our GSP for nearly a week, and we can highly recommend them! They looked after both Ruby and our home beautifully. Thank you both so much we will definitely be in touch for our next holiday”

About: I have over a year of professional pet-sitting experience here on the rover app. I have also been a volunteer with the Blue Cross for a couple of years, helping to foster and rehabilitate stray cats. I absolutely love animals and caring for them is something I take great pride in. I am particularly well versed in looking after shy, senior and anxious pets - ensuring I take my time and build up trust is essential. I absolutely adore caring for pets and would love to share my passion with you. I work from home flexibly so I am available most days to care for your pets and to walk them / take them outdoors whenever they need. I live in a house with a gated garden and security is a priority for me. I am patient and caring with all furry friends, no matter their personality.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience looking after my mum’s and sister’s dogs while they’ve been away on holiday. I’ve cared for them in my own home, making sure they stick to their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Looking after pets has taught me how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My availability may vary slightly depending on my work shifts, but I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care whenever possible. Feel free to get in touch with your dates, and I’ll always do my best to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, friendly, and welcoming home where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I don’t have any other pets, so your pet will have my full attention and won’t need to adjust to other animals in the home. Pets are welcome on the furniture if that is part of their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and at ease. I am happy to follow your pet’s usual habits and routines, including feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. I work part time, which means I am home a lot and can provide plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a roommate who is usually home when I am not, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am also happy to stay in your home if that is what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I understand that every pet is different and will always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

“I was happy to leave my dogs with Volodymir. He asked a lot of questions before the stay to ensure he knows my dogs well and what they may need. House was well taken care of at the end of the stay and the dogs were happy. Any serious issues were communicated and discussed.”

“Lee and Jane looked after our two dogs Luna and Molly for the second time. Luna and Molly loved having Lee and Jane looking after them, we had lots of photo updates which gave us peace of mind, and they gave the girls lots of fuss and attention. They were very respectful of the house, and it was immaculate on our return. We will definitely use them again”

About: I’ve been around dogs as long as I can remember. since recently moving out, I’ve really miss having them around, and rover is a great way for me to do something I genuinely enjoy. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and understand patience, routine, exercise, and giving each dog the attention they need. I work full time and live alone, so owning a dog isn’t the right choice for me right now, but that makes me even more excited to help care for other peoples pets. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I’ve always given the dogs in my own family. I work 3 days on and 3 days off. So i’m available full days on my days off. This means walks, play times, and check in’s. And since I don’t own any pets myself at the moment, your dog gets my full attention. I have grown up with dogs and regularly cared for my parents dogs for weeks at a time, making sure they are safe, happy, and sticking to their routines. My home has a safe and secure garden and is directly behind a large football field, woodland area and open fields. And as a police employee with a background check, owner can feel confident their pets are with someone responsible.

“Kay gave us all the information we needed. She met early to discuss & view the house. Bella was very comfortable with her. Kay took her out for a walk & sent a photo to us . That reassured us & made us relaxed for the evening. Bella was sitting on her knee when we returned ,so calm & happy.”

“Olivia was fantastic with our two boys. She took the time to come and visit them before the booking and asked loads of questions to make sure she was able to care for them the best she could. Olivia stayed in contact throughout giving us updates on the boys. She ensured both boys went on walks even though one of them is tricky on a lead and can be reactive. They both seemed to love her partner. I would definitely book again!”
