About: I've owned dogs, cats, rabbits, small furries since a young girl. I particularly love dogs and cats, I've cared for friends and families pets for many years. I currently have one friendly dog of my own and have had a lot of foster dogs coming and going from rescues, all of which I've helped train and build confidence so they can move on to their forever home. I currently work from home, self employed so I can fit round any animal's routine. Our house is very pet friendly with plenty of space. I have a fully fenced garden with lots of shrubs to hide amongst - dogs love this. There is a sandpit if they like digging, and a doggy paddling pool. Our home is designed for dogs as we have been fostering rescue dogs for the last 3 years and have welcomed 40+ of these poor souls into our home, house trained them and built their confidence up with patience and love. We have lots of dog beds,crates, soft areas and throws on all furniture. They're allowed upstairs and throughout the house. We go to Clapham dog park which is secure, and also walk round the fields and Clapham woods, further adventures if the dogs are ok travelling by car. We have a coastal bungalow in Norfolk and often take dogs there to experience the beach.
“Rebecca was wonderful with our puppy! It was the first time I left him since bringing him home and needless to say, I was a littler nervous about how it would go! Rebecca was great - sending photos and making sure I was kept up to date with my puppy’s day. When we got home, he seemed super happy and well taken care of! I highly recommend Rebecca.”
“Thanks again Mia! Our doggos love Mia and are very relaxed in her presence. We get regular updates and photos, so we know that they’re doing well. Would happy recommend Mia to others.”
“John was amazing look after the parrots and the piggies he message me everyday and send photo and videos showing how they was doing they was very happy when we got back and very well looked after will you John again he was amazing”
“Charlotte was brilliant, Pippa and Dolly took to her really quickly. The pictures, videos and updates put our minds at rest as they were well looked after and fussed with. Would definitely recommend Charlotte.”
“If the thought of letting a stranger into your house makes you feel uneasy, you can relax if it's Charlie! He's a really nice person and is very gentle and caring with animals. He looked after my two kittens, older cat and guinea pigs for me. I got lovely pictures and videos and came back to happy animals and clean litter trays. I'd absolutely recommend him for any of your cat cuddling needs.”
“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.”
“Chardone was really lovely and took great care of Sylvester whilst I was away. I was a bit apprehensive of using a service as I’ve always used friends/family in the past, and have an older shy cat. But after meeting Chardone for a pre-visit I was put at ease, she is really friendly, professional and genuinely cares, and Sylvester warmed up to her, which was lovely to see. Chardone Made sure I was kept up-to-date and sent lots of pictures which was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. Thank you very much xx”
“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”
“Carson did a great job of looking after GC and Reggie, and was kind, reliable and patient in taking onboard somewhat complicated care arrangements, due to one cat being newly ill. Really appreciate all her help!”
About: Hi! My name's Eloise! I've been the proud parent to 2 beautiful Greyhounds and hopefully will be again in the near future. Unfortunately we lost our dear Wally at Christmas so am excited to meet some new furry friends :) Animals really are the best company! Cats are also always welcome, and I very much respect their independent snoozy nature aha! In my day to day life I'm a Prop Maker for Film and TV, so being active is very much a big part of my life. Going on long walks and playing fetch with any excitable friends I'm pretty accustomed too :) Hopefully I'll get to see you soon! Xxx I'm a Prop Maker for Film and TV, and so in between contracts and after work I find myself with a lot of free time! In these quiet periods I'm completely free to come and house sit, walk and play! After bonding with a pet, I'd be more than happy to fit in their walks after work in the evenings should any Prop Making gigs come up! I'm very aware of different pets personalities and their needs when it comes to walking and being around other pets. Being the previous owner to two Greyhounds, one of which was very nervous, I understand to respect boundaries and gently encourage when needed. I don't want any pets to come to any harm or be unhappy in my care, so I make sure to pay extra attention to their responses and behaviour.
“Kylie is a fabulous sitter. She made friends with my cat on her first visit and handled daily meditation with ease. It was lovely to receive regular updates while we were travelling and to come home to a happy kitty.”
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.
About: Hi, thanks for checking me out. I've owned and cared for Cats, Dogs and rabbits all my life. I understand that leaving your beloved pets with a stranger can be scary, but I assure you I will look after you pet as if they were my own. I am a animal lover, i even like spiders! I am currently available for Walks, drop-ins, day care and overnight boarding full time Monday-Sunday. I'm currently working seasonal part time hours. I can be available to you Monday- Sunday at anytime. I'm very flexible and will try to accommodate any request. I have a fully fenced garden and a quiet, child and smoke free home. Pets are allowed to relax on the sofa or bed. I am also happy to stay over with your pets in your home. I drive, and am happy to accommodate any request
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.
“Terriann is wonderful. She looked after my cat, Vincent, (who can very sensitive) exceptionally well. She was attentive to his needs and gave me plenty of reassurance whilst I was away. She kept is feeding and litter areas immaculate. She also kept him active and played with him with his toys lots. It was wonderful to see how pleased Vincent was to see Terriann when I arrived home from my trip and she came for a last visit. I will absolutely be booking Terriann again and I highly recommend her. She is excellent. THANK YOU Terriann!”
About: Snoopy the Beagle came in to our lives nine years ago. It was our first experience of owning and caring for a dog. I remember thinking how odd it was to hear humans expressing their love for a dog. That was until I recognised the love I had for this pooch and ‘in his own way’ the love he has for us. Choosing a difficult breed has certainly challenged and at times tested our patience. He has also been a saviour during the pandemic and through times of difficulty. It is estimated that during the pandemic 3.2 million dogs had been purchased during the lockdown. Sadly, many of these have had to be rehomed due to impulse buying and practicality of caring. We all know that dogs need to be stimulated and nurtured every day and that doing this will create a happy dog and a happy household. I am here if you need a break, as respite from your dog, as I can honestly tell you that using respite in the past has prevented my dog from being rehomed. This is one of the reasons that I have decided to sign up to Rover to help others and to ensure that dogs get the care that they need, around busy lives and to remain in their family. If you choose me, you can rest assured that I will give your dog the same love, time and attention that I give my dog and also cat Lola, who is a gentle little soul. I have also, in the past, cared for other small animals such as rabbits, budgies and a hamster. Whilst I am caring for your dog, I can send you updates with photos and videos and you can rest assured that your dog will have fun and rest and will return home happy. I have firm boundaries with my dog, however he does sometimes rule the roost. I am happy to go with your own routines. I ask that your dog has the relevant vaccinations, is chipped and that they have a name tag with their owners contact details. I am available monday to Sunday. I’m able to do both early morning and afternoon dog walks from 7am to 5pm during the winter months. I have a large fenced garden. I have a dedicated area for my dog indoors and my cat mainly stays upstairs. I live near a local park and wooded area, however travel to different areas to walk my dog. I have completed training and certification in Pet First Aid, Animal Psychology, Dog walking and Pet home sitting Diploma.

Thanks to Paige we went on a trip abroad and we were stress free having a trusted person to take care of our cats. She is caring and following instruction with patients and being calm towards our cats. I definitely recommend Paige to take care of anyone's cats and be the right person to trust.
Cannot recommend more highly. Completely confident that Alex cares for our boys (cats) as she does her own. Lots of pics and she is great with communication. Loki was on the end of a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory tablets, and Alex had no problem making sure he had his medication. Thank you, Alex 👍🐯🦁
Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with my senior cat, Nero. She was so caring, gentle, and attentive, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about his wellbeing. Knowing Nero was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly caring to look after their pets. Thank you so much, Rebecca! ❤️🐾
If the thought of letting a stranger into your house makes you feel uneasy, you can relax if it's Charlie! He's a really nice person and is very gentle and caring with animals. He looked after my two kittens, older cat and guinea pigs for me. I got lovely pictures and videos and came back to happy animals and clean litter trays. I'd absolutely recommend him for any of your cat cuddling needs.
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.
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

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

There are 1,269 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Bedford. About 91% 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:
- 91% 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.
