About: My name is Nina and I have just moved to Bedford from Australia. In Australia I worked at a wildlife park and I’m missing that animal interaction so much since moving here. My last pet was treated like my own child, I was extremely in tune with his health and needs and he even had his own bedroom. I'm so excited to meet more fury animals and help them to live their best lives! I am currently working from home and have plenty of time to spend with fur babies outside of my work hours. My schedule is very flexible and can work for your needs. My number one priority when caring for your pet is their wellbeing. I will be giving your pet 100% of my attention when they are in my care.
About: I am a kind, reliable, and responsible pet sitter looking to give your pet the attention and love they deserve while you're away. Over the course of my life, I've had 8 dogs, 6 cats, 4 rabbits, 2 rabbits, and a goat! I have helped raise and train both puppies and kittens, am familiar with senior animal care, and am happy to spend time with your pet indoors and outdoors. Additionally, I have experience looking after reptiles as well. I've recently moved from America to the UK and would love to get to know your animals as I settle into my new community. I look forward to getting to know your pet and shower them with the attention they deserve! I am currently unemployed and have all the time in the world to spend with your animals. Happy to do check ins, spend a few hours a day with your pets and willing to spend the day with them if needed. Willing to work with you on whatever you need from me as a sitter! You know your pet best, so whatever guidelines you set will be followed strictly. I also want to respect your pets boundaries and will actively try not to interrupt their routine and get to know them and their personality. I will keep things clean, tidy, and organised in your home and send regular photos and updates to put your mind at ease.

I will meet the needs of both you and your pets, and be sure to keep in as much contact as wished by owner. Also working as a dog sitter/walker for a private owner, since 2019, which gave me many practical skills I can apply to other dog sittings.

About: I've been around all animals since I was a child from big dogs to cats to caged animals to birds. I love caring for pets as it brings me so much joy knowing they're in safe hands and you don't have to worry. I'm home every day of the week as I have a daughter of 1 year old. She too loves animals as I've had her around pets since she was born (safely obviously). I can work this job around my parenting. I have a fenced garden with plenty of running around room and am local to parks where your pets will meet others. I live in a very safe and secure neighbourhood.
“Olivia cared for our beloved cat whilst we were away and was very helpful with providing me with updates and pics on how he was doing. It was the first time we have ever left him but Olivia made us feel comfortable and confident that he would be ok. I'd definitely recommend anyone to use her service! Thank you so much Olivia xx”

“Elisha was an incredible pet sitter for me. She kept me updated with everything and spent time making sure my two rabbits were comfortable with her. I highly recommend Elisha - she will make sure your pets are always at their happiest.”
About: Ive been taking care of pets in different capacities since I was a pre teen. I’ve had pets in my life since I was a baby from all stages of infancy till full grown through out their lives. I work a 9-5 where I sit all day so activity in the weekday evening and on the weekends are very welcomed haha. I like to plan my weeks in advance to best ensure that all possibilities can be properly accounted for. In owners home I intend to stick to usual routines as much as possible to allow the pet to become comfortable with my presence in their space but also to put a small personal touch to best bond with them and build a rapport. This of course will vary from animal to animal which is why I require a week to plan/ match activities to what the pets are used to and what I am able to execute.
About: I love dogs and had a shih tzu named Pebbles for 13 years. I also was a horse owner for many years so I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I work from home now and miss having a dog to shower with love and attention. My friends regularly ask me to dogsit for them when they are away. My schedule is flexible and I work on different time zones, so I have time during the day to accommodate for the specific needs of your dog. I have a small fenced area outside they can go out to during the day. I live and equal distance to Primrose Hill & Hampstead Heath, so lots of space to take them for long walks. I work from home and have lots of flexibility to take them out during the day. I am very adaptable to the needs of every dog I take care of. I have a nice lower ground floor flat with a walled off terrace outside. I usually keep the door open for them during the day to wander in and out as they please. Dogs are allowed to sleep in bed with me, except if the owner prefers otherwise if they are crate trained, etc.
About: I have loved animals all my life and have over 20 years of experience caring for pets. I have looked after dogs, cats and small animals for friends, family and neighbours. I understand that pets are part of the family and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I am reliable, calm and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I run my own local service business, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to fit pet visits and dog walks around my day. I am usually available mornings, afternoons and evenings for pet visits, feeding, playtime and walks. I understand how important routine is for pets, so I always try to keep their normal schedule while their owners are away. I always care for pets in a calm, gentle and responsible way. When visiting a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure the pet feels comfortable and safe in their own environment. I make sure food, water and litter trays are clean, and I spend time giving pets attention and play so they don’t feel lonely. I also treat every home with great respect and keep everything tidy and secure.

Second time I have used Jamie to look after my cat and she is brilliant. She keeps me updated, manages to send photos of a very timid cat and keeps an eye on my house. I feel very secure knowing my cat will be so well cared for and will definitely be using her again.
Callum took great care of Miccie while I was away. She can be quite nervous but clearly loved his company as I could tell by the great photos he sent each time he visited. I would definitely recommend Callum and will call on him next time I need someone to look after Miccie.
Clare did a great job taking care of Coo for us while we were away. She sent us regular updates and pictures on how he was doing which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Clare if you’re looking for someone caring and trustworthy to care for your pet.
We cannot thank Amy enough for looking after Percy. It was our very first time seeking the help of a cat sitter and I'm glad we did. Percy was very comfortable with her, all we did was leave her with some instructions and the rest was all her. She communicates very well and we actually noticed she also did a bit of cleaning around Percy's area. Amazing service, I think we've found our regular cat sitter for when we need someone to look after Percy Highly recommend Amy! Thank you Amy!
Emma looked after Wilf and Chewie whilst we were going on what was to be quite an emotional trip. She was absolutely wonderful with our " fuss-cats ", she befriended them and sent us daily updates and videos. We came back to 2 happy chilled out cats..... Thank you so much Emma for your professionalism and attention to detail, 5 Star plus ....
Maria did a brilliant job looking after my two very wary cats over Christmas (and my stray). I had photos of them every day and everything was dealt with very efficiently and tidily. I really appreciated the little gift you left at the end too, as did Sootica and Sempra. I will definitely be in touch if I need a sitter again and would recommend to anyone, thank you. Xxx
Nikeisha was amazing with our cat Dimi! It was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous leaving Dimi with someone new but the daily updates and photos she sent us really helped put our minds at ease. She was responsible, followed our instructions closely and our cat seems to have warmed up to her in no time. We would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bedford on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,178 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bedford. About 92% of Bedford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
