“Clare is absolutely amazing! Whilst taking care of our 3 active dogs, who all have individual care routines, Clare did everything perfectly and fitted in a lot of training for each of them which she tailored to their needs. Ontop of that we came back to a house that was spotless! Highly recommended.”

“What an absolute legend, house and dog sitting for our three dogs! Kept up to date with photos and videos. No issues, no fuss, polite young man; our dogs love him and happy to see him: thank you Charlie you are superb!!!👌”


“Mia did a brilliant job of looking after our dog as always. He loves spending time with her and is always so happy when she arrives! She always sends photos and regular updates which we really appreciate. Thank you Mia!”

“Elisha is incredible! Tiggy absolutely loves her and she was the best company for him while we were away. Our boy can be very nervous out on walks and it was so good to know he was in safe hands. Will absolutely be using Elisha again, and would highly recommend!! Thank you 💖✨”

About: Hi there! I’m Alessandra and mum of a cheeky toy cockapoo Luna. I have always grown up with dogs, so wanted one of my own. Now, I work from home running my own business and Luna is my companion! I fully believe that all dogs that come into my home are treated as part of the family so there is nowhere they aren’t allowed to go. I live in a flat alone but live round the corner from a spacious country park so am available for walks whenever suits your schedule and needs. If your little angel is in my care, they will be treated like one of my own. I currently have my own business and work from home so am fully flexible! I’m available for boarding, walks and day care. I don’t drive unfortunately so I may not be able to travel to you. I have a 18 month old girl toy cockapoo called Luna so am well versed with puppy care. I do not have a garden but I am round the corner from a lovely country park and other green spaces. I have a female puppy Luna who loves to make friends and would love to keep your dog company! Please note: For house sits and dog boarding, Luna will be with me. She’s house trained, doesn’t bark and is super friendly towards other dogs. For drop ins and walks, I can leave Luna at home if your pet loves one to one attention.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would give my own. I am also a singer and often sing to pets to soothe them. I offer morning, evening, and overnight care for your pets, dedicating time each day to feeding, playing with, singing to and caring for them.

I’m also available for regular pet-sitting and ongoing care, providing a reliable and friendly service you can trust.

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life, and I understand the love and happiness they bring to your life. They deserve the best care and it truly makes my days better getting to look after animals and them go home happy. I'm currently homeschooling my 7 year daughter so between that and her extra curriculur activities I have plenty of time to provide the services listed and give your pets the best time and care. We live in house and have a fenced garden, we also have a large beautiful park and river next to our home so perfect for lovely walks.
About: I’m a massive animal lover and have always been surrounded by dogs, cats and all sorts of other pets. 🐾 I have my own dog, so I know how much they become part of the family and how important it is to know they’re happy, safe and well looked after when you’re not there. My French bulldog has epilepsy so I am aware how important it is to be sure of timings when providing medication, aware of changing in behaviour and to always be attentive. I’ve also spent years walking and looking after family and friends’ dogs, from little Cavapoochons to Great Danes so I really do love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I’m naturally very patient, caring and attentive, and I love getting to know each dog’s own little personality. Whether they’re full of energy and want a big walk, or are more of a sofa and cuddles kind of dog, I’m happy to work around what they enjoy. I’m currently working towards a dog grooming course as I’m hoping to build a career working with animals, so this is something I’m genuinely passionate about and excited to learn more about. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention and fuss while they’re with me. I'm currently working part time so I have a few days a week to spend with furry friends. I love the outdoors and exercising so walking and playing with your pet sounds like the perfect way to spend my days. I am working towards dog grooming qualifications so would be great to get experience with many different dog breeds. I have a lot of love and care to give to all animals and this seems like the perfect way to do so. I am more than happy to look after your pet in your own home as its their comfort space. I will work around you and your pet and meet any requirements you may have.
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.

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.

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our two miniature dachshunds! She was flexible with our timings, clearly loves animals, and made us feel completely at ease. We received lovely photos and a video throughout the day, and the boys looked so happy and relaxed. The best sign of all was when she left and the boys stood by the front door waiting for her to come back! We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much.”

“Hannah recently had her first stay at mine looking after my little lady, Millie. Millie was so well looked after and Hannah kept me up to date on how things were going and sent lots of pictures which I loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, thank you Hannah!”

About: I absolutely adore dogs! I’ve been brought up with dogs in the family. All of which are working/hunting dogs - Vizslas & spaniels. I’m very sporty so your dog will get a good walk. Living in Great Denham is a massive Gem for dog walking as there’s so many trails. I’m used to high energy dogs from my childhood but also love a calm & relaxed dog too. I’m always up for a challenge. The best part about dog sitting/walking is the sense of achievement when a dog can trust you, & gets excited when they see you stranding at the door ready for their walk Please see my calendar for availability as it changes from time to time as I am self-employed. This also means I can be extremely flexible I’ve looked after a Great Dane to a Mini Whippet. - A 6yr old to a 6month old dog. I’ll always keep my eye on them & I never take a dog off the lead the first few walks until I know they feel comfortable with me & Ofcourse if the owner feels comfortable too. 1 of my previous dogs was so nervous after a previous dog walker left her in the woods. I was able to create a bond with her over 6 months & she would walk off the lead with me & her recall was great!

Having never left our dog Rosie before we were very nervous especially as Rosie just barked and barked at Maria when they met and refused to go for a walk. We needn't have worried as once we had left Maria was calm and persistent and soon had Rosie sleeping on Maria's bed and rolling over for tickle tums. We had great feedback and photos while we were away giving us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog and our home in the capable, caring hands of Maria. Thankyou so much.

Clare has looked after our Lexi on 2 separate occasions now! Lexi loves her, and we feel safe in the knowledge that she is being well cared for, walked and fed whilst we were away! We got regular photo updates which was reassuring! We have been super happy with Clare and would highly recommend her! She will be our go to when we need our girl looked after.

Charlie took wonderful care of my dog, Frida. He is a genuinely kind and gentle young man who clearly loves animals. He kept me updated throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Katherine looked after Martha and Lily yesterday evening and I would highly recommend her. Katherine arrived on time and the dogs loved having her here. I received a number of pictures and updates. Martha doesn’t take to many people as quickly as she has with Katherine, and she was sad when Katherine had to leave. I will absolutely be rebooking her as regularly as I can. Thank you.

Faye looked after my silver Labrador, Coco and was absolutley excellent. It was our first time leaving our dog for the day and with short notice, Faye had offered to help us. Faye constantly updated us with photos and messages and made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our puppy with her. Could not recommend Faye enough!
Our first ever experience with a sitter and we couldn't be happier. Hannah is clearly very experienced, has the dogs care and comfort at the forefront of her mind, asked all the right questions prior to meeting our dog and gave us reassurance/consistent updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. Some lovely pictures too! Would 100% book again ☺️

Elisha is incredible! Tiggy absolutely loves her and she was the best company for him while we were away. Our boy can be very nervous out on walks and it was so good to know he was in safe hands. Will absolutely be using Elisha again, and would highly recommend!! Thank you 💖✨

Hannah recently had her first stay at mine looking after my little lady, Millie. Millie was so well looked after and Hannah kept me up to date on how things were going and sent lots of pictures which I loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, thank you Hannah!

I was very fortunate to be able to book Sammy to dog sit in my home whilst I was away for a week. From the start Sammy put me at ease, seeking a comprehensive understanding of my dogs needs as well as promptly coming to meet us. She did an amazing job looking after my greyhound and provided me with plenty of updates whilst I was away, even going so far as to making my dog's birthday special for her! I would recommend Sammy to anyone and would hope to book her again for any future holidays.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Bedford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Bedford 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
