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.
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 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.
“Emma has been fantastic looking after our dog Ella and cat Twiz whilst we was away. Regular updates and great communication. I would highly recommend Emma and will definitely rebook with Emma! :)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, specialized care skills, and genuine passion for animals. I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like they’re my own. 🐾 Special Skills and Experience: • Puppy Training: I have experience helping puppies with basic obedience, crate training, and potty routines. I understand the patience and consistency needed to give them a great start. • Senior Dog Care: I’m comfortable administering medication, supporting mobility issues, and tailoring activities to meet the slower pace and special needs of older dogs. • Behavioural Awareness: I pay close attention to body language and behaviour cues to ensure your dog feels safe, secure, and understood. 🐶 What You Can Expect: • Reliable, timely communication • Daily updates and photos • Customized care based on your dog’s personality, age, and routine • A calm, confident presence your dog can trust Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs training and structure, or a senior dog who needs gentle, attentive care, I’m here to provide more than just a service—I provide peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings and snuggle time. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to adapt easily to each pet’s routine. On a daily basis, I prioritize: • Walks and playtime for physical and mental stimulation • Feeding and medication at consistent times • Updates for pet parents, including photos and notes • Grooming tasks like brushing or wiping paws if needed Throughout the week, I make sure to rotate activities, check supplies, and stay on top of any changes in behaviour or health. I also schedule time for continued learning—whether it’s reading up on breed-specific needs or attending new Canine training courses. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I build my life around because it’s what I genuinely love doing. Currently available 24/7 for Dog Boarding and Care. Obviously at home caring for my 3 Year Old Son but also my 5 Year Old Cockapoo Dog as well. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and full of love! Before any stay, I make sure to learn all about a pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences so I can recreate their comfort zone here. In my home, I provide: • A calm, clean environment with designated spaces for rest and play. With a fully fenced Medium sized garden for the Dogs to run around and exercise. • Daily walks and playtime's based on the dog’s needs • Consistent feeding and medication routines • Socialization, if appropriate, with other friendly dogs in a controlled setting. My 5 year old Cockapoo loves to run around and will keep your fur baby entertained. • Close supervision, especially for new pets or puppies who need structure I treat every guest like part of the family, and I’m happy to accommodate special diets, habits, or medical needs. (For Note: Currently having an rear extension built which will include a specific dog room for caring and boarding purposes. The Room will include a Dog Sofa along with a Dog specific Bath for when your little fur babies get dirty on a walk.)
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats and rabbits. As an adult I have always had a dog or dogs, experiencing the high and lows, sickness and loss but I would still have more. I am now retired and would like to spend my time looking after other people’s dogs. I have now retired and have one dog of my own. I live near a park and also fields near the river and we have regular walks daily. I am at home most of the day so any visiting dogs would get plenty of fuss and attention. I have a secure fenced back garden and a gate at the front of my house. I have one friendly dog of my own to keep any visiting dogs company.
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.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Bedford is £13

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.
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!

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
