“Jeeves loved his time with Joanne and family. He was taken on lots of exciting walks as well as having a big garden to explore. We were kept updated throughout his whole stay and were able to relax on our holiday knowing Jeeves was well looked after!”
“Chloe and her family took excellent care of Layla who had a wonderful time! Lots of long walks and cuddles, I know she settled in happily. Thank you for all the photo updates too. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I had my own dog for over 16 years, he is still very much missed, and now I borrow other people’s. I currently dog sit a miniature Schnauzer in term time. Plus I have recently been given a black Labrador, Barney, he is very good with other dogs and would normally come with me when house sitting. I am available for pet care seven days per week and have my own transport. I am newly retired and can spend all of my time caring for pets. I have an enclosed rear garden and live in a village location with plenty of varied country walks on my doorstep. I have my own dog, who is very friendly.

“Sonia C. looked after my dog, Wicket, over the Christmas period from the 17th to the 2nd and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and made sure Wicket was well looked after while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“No words to describe how wonderful Aleksandra is. She really took great care of our dog. He stayed with her for 8 days and she updated us everyday with pictures and videos which was really assuring. She was flexible throughout and we are really glad we found a good home for our dog when we are away next time. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Neil and I are passionate animal lovers offering a calm, loving environment for dog boarding. We cared for our Beagle for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away due to illness, which gave me valuable experience with dog care, routines, and companionship. We’ve also looked after family dogs including Cockapoos and Labradors, and regularly care for our neighbours’ cats and dogs while they are away on holiday. Since we’re not quite ready for another dog of our own yet, Rover feels like the perfect way to continue sharing our home and care with dogs. I work from home full-time, and Neil predominantly works from home as well, so there will almost always be one or both of us at home with any boarded dogs throughout their stay. We have a large living area with patio doors leading to a secure, fenced grass garden that dogs can enjoy all year round. Because we work from home, we’re able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. We can also take dogs out for walks during breaks, lunch, and in the evenings, so it’s very normal for dogs staying with us to enjoy up to three walks a day depending on their needs and routine. We’re also happy to adapt to older dogs or those who prefer a slower pace and quieter routine. Neil and I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. As one or both of us work from home most days, dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and care throughout their stay. We have a secure fenced grass garden and always follow each owner’s routines and preferences carefully, including feeding, walks, medication, and any special requirements. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.
“Corinne was brilliant with Poppy. It was reassuring to be sent photos every day and I could see how happy she was. Corinne went out of her way to make sure that Poppy felt settled and happy and I would 100% recommend her.”
“Fabulous couple who adhered to all my dogs requirements with lots of love / cuddles / walks and playtimes etc. Kept me updated at every opportunity including sending videos and photos. Thank you again so much Paige and Billy. We will no doubt be using both of you again. Jan”
“Wendy was fantastic with our little boy! We received lovely pictures of him and she even spoiled him the same way we do. Highly recommendable and we'll certainly leave fofo again with her, made us feel very safe.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Central Bedfordshire is £35

What a lovely family who kindly gave the best care to Layla for a last minute weekend booking. Thaiza and Chris welcomed Layla into their home with their two young children and puppy and made Layla feel so relaxed and welcomed. The pictures sent to us were so adorable and appreciated too 😊 thank you all 🙌🏻 we would 100 percent recommend this lovely family to care for your pets x
I chose Chloe to look after my dog as she seemed very down to earth, knowledge and kind. She also has 2 little girls who are very keen to have a dog to play with! Chloe send me daily updates and pictures And asked anything she wasn’t sure about. I was very happy leaving my dog with her and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.
I can honestly say that Katryzna was outstanding in looking after my elderly dog Bailey. I had total peace of mind in leaving him with her. She sent photos and updates daily. He was very chilled and relaxed and well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Total Star 🌟
My lab Bailey had an amazing stay with Florence. I was caught out last minute when my previous sitter cancelled. Florence got back to me super quick, and even made herself available for a meet and greet at the park before Bailey’s stay. Bail looked like he had the time of his life while I was away, Florence sent through some amazing photos and it was great to know he was having a ball. It’s always hard leaving your pup, but Florence genuinely made Bailey a part of the family, and he loved Bonzo’s company during his stay. Couldn’t recommend Florence highly enough, Bailey was so well looked after, and I’ve already booked him for my next trip away!
Charlotte and her family welcomed Talli into their home just as if they'd always known her. The regular picture updates gave us the confidence to know she'd settled in and wasn't stressing at all. We can highly recommend Charlotte and would have absolutely no hesitation in using her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Central Bedfordshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in East of England may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
