“Rebecca was excellent, Richmond stayed for 3 nights, had updates all the way through which left us at ease being the first time we’ve left him for so long whilst we were away! He looked like he had so much fun meeting other dogs and going on lots of adventures. Would highly recommend!”
“What an amazing couple. Lexi absolutely loved it and felt tight at home. She suffers from separation anxiety and didn't seem to struggle at all. She absolutely loved her stay and I can't thank the 2 of them enough. Absolutely first class, amazing care for our little doggo. Thank you so much guys and we will be putting plenty more dates in the calendar. I think she's missing you both since she's got back ❤️”
“Clare is an excellent dog sitter. She is patient, kind, and communicates clearly, and our dog always seems happy and well cared for when we pick him up. I would highly recommend her. Her gentle, soft-spoken manner is especially helpful for our anxious dog.”
“Big thanks to Rory, Hannah and Basil for looking after Teddy our Lab. Communication was great and we were kept updated with photos and videos, it was our first time leaving Teddy with anyone and they made the process so easy and we felt assured he was in great hands and I think Ted found a friend in Basil who is such a lovely dog too! Would highly recommend.”
“What a special person Sue is! Our dog Rolo is very anxious and reactive and so before we booked for Sue to have him for a week, we sorted an overnight trial. We had never left him before. Rolo was very happy and went straight in to play and was settled - until bed time when he howled during the night. However, Sue was amazing with him, reassuring and kind enough to have another go at a trial run… see next review :)”
“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.”
“Barnaby had a fab time with John, Harry and Finn and we are so grateful we found them on Rover! Barnaby was treated like one their own, and settled in really well in their home. Barnaby had a fab time and I’m sure he is looking forward to his next stay already ☺️”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing the best care possible for our furry friends. Four years ago, I welcomed my first "fur child" into my life—a playful spaniel who keeps me on my toes! Since then, I’ve put a lot of time and effort into learning how to be a responsible and loving owner, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve also been lucky to spend time around dogs and horses over the years, which has deepened my appreciation for animals and their unique personalities. While our home is best suited for small to medium-sized dogs, any animal I look after must be friendly and comfortable with an energetic and playful spaniel. I’m all about tailoring my care to suit your pet’s individual needs. I’ll listen carefully to your guidance, follow routines, and make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s extra cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I’d love to hear about your furry family member and how I can help! 😊 I currently work full time, but work from home Tuesdays and Thursdays! We see this as a perfect opportunity to dog sit and give our boy and wonderful friend to play with! Weekends are spent on engaging and exciting walks for our working spaniel. I have a fully enclosed, but small garden. We wouldn’t be able to accommodate large dogs for this reason. Our garden has a brick wall, with a gate for external access which is locked at all times. We have an open plan downstairs area. Animals will not be allowed upstairs, but will be with me in the downstairs area as I work from the kitchen table. They won’t be left alone in my care.
“Jupiter has the best BEST time with Nastassia and her doggy Rudy. I think Rudy might be his best friend 😍 Great updates and photos, lovely long countryside walks and plenty of snuggles. Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“We cannot praise Mariia enough for looking after Daisy so well. Regular updates and putting Daisy's welfare uppermost during the stay meant that we had total trust that our much loved girl was being looked after so well. When we picked Daisy up, Mariia was fantastic, giving us advise and recommendations. We would not hesitate to leave Daisy with her again, and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Mariia xx”
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.
“Tania and Sebastian were wonderful hosts for our dog Rossi. They are lovely people and took great care to help Rossi settle in. They also kept us updated with pictures and reports. We can't fault them!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I was the proud owner of a Golden Retriever and a Husky, whom I raised from puppyhood. This experience has given me a good understanding of dogs’ different personalities, exercise needs, and daily routines. Caring for dogs has always been a true passion of mine. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while they’re in my care. My home is a detached house with a secure, enclosed back garden where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. We also have a large park just a short walk away, making it perfect for enjoyable walks, exercise, and exploring new smells. I know how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else because I’ve been in that position myself. That’s why I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, companionship, and regular updates with photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply relaxing in a calm home environment, I’ll make sure they receive the care, comfort, and affection they deserve. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry friend into my home! I work from home for most of the week, which means I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. I enjoy having pets around me and can provide regular toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, and exercise without leaving them alone for long periods. I also love taking photos of the pets in my care and sending regular updates to their owners, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and enjoying their stay. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. My detached house has a secure, enclosed back garden where dogs can play safely, and there’s also a large park just a short walk away for enjoyable daily walks and exercise. I always follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special requirements to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal schedule. Every pet receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Lin and her partner were great looking after our Miniature Dachshund at the start of the month for 12 days! They updated us with lots of photos of what Bean was up to and made sure to check with us before offering her any food that we hadn’t provided. We would happily rebook, especially for longer periods! Thank you again x”
“A bit delayed, but worth sharing. My husband and I got married on 5th Sept at Bassmead Manor Barns, which is 15-20mins drive away from where Lauren lives. We needed someone to look after our puppy Buna for 2 days throughout the wedding prep and celebrations, and bring her to the venue on the day of the wedding. Lauren was happy to board Buna and welcome her into her family like she was her own. Lauren instantly gained Buna's trust and it is clear Buna has the best time in her home. Lots of walks, play time, rest and happy adventures around the house, wat's not to like? Lauren is clearly very attentive and loving human, and we could not have asked for more. Moreover, Lauren went extra mile for us during the time Buna spent at the wedding venue with us taking pictures. Lauren kept distracting Buna from the crowd and encouraging her to look in the camera using treats, voice, commands and gestures. Without Lauren there it would have been much more difficult to manage a 5 month old mischief! Thank you from both of us once again, you were amazing! Melvyn & Jelena”

“We have a skittish little madam who is anxious about meeting other dogs and people, so we are very happy to have found Sue to look after Honey. Honey had a lovely time with her stay and was told that while it took a bit of time to settle, she eventually warmed up and was happy for Sue to take her out for a walk (Honey isn't keen on walkies except with me - even my husband had to carry her on her walks with him). In fact, we have repeat future doggy day care booking with Sue.”

“I am a repeat customer. Kylie is amazing with Pickles and he just loves her. I feel very comfortable leaving him with her and am grateful to have someone to take care of him when needed.”
“I couldn't be happier with the service Lucy provided. Nala was clearly very happy in her care, she even ate her food which can be a problem especially when in the care of someone new. She was very tired when I got her home, which tells me she had a good day and was well stimulated and exercised. Lucy was very good at communicating throughout the day to let me know how Nala was getting on.”
“Both Tania and her husband were really lovely, they both were very communicative with me and attentive to Ziggie. They kept me up to date during the day with really sweet pictures/videos of Ziggie walking in the park, playing zoomies in their garden and taking an afternoon nap. I would have no problem at all booking with them again in the future, or recommending them to a fellow rover user.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. My grandparents lived on a farm with lots of dogs, so I grew up feeding them, grooming them, bathing them, and just taking care of them like they were mine. I got my own dog, Pongo, about 12 years ago. He was the happiest, cuddliest Dalmatian and taught me everything from basic training to caring for a senior dog. In 2020, we added a second dog, Nairobi, who came from a Romanian rescue. She arrived with a lot of fear and emotional scars, so I spent a lot of time working with her, building trust, and helping her come out of her shell. Now she’s a, let's say, quirky dog who gets along great with others. Because of all this, I’m very comfortable with puppies, rescue dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience or emotional support. After losing Pongo in 2024, Nairobi would love a friendly companion—so any dog I watch gets not just my care, but a sweet playmate if they want one. I treat every dog like family, because that’s how I was raised. I'm currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to play with your doggos. I'm available weekdays and weekends at any time! When I’m caring for pets in my home, my main focus is making them feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I keep their routine as close to normal as possible—meals, walks, rest time, and whatever habits they’re used to. I also have a fully fenced garden where they can explore and enjoy the outdoors. As soon as the weather warms up, Nairobi spends most of her day out there sunbathing and only comes inside for water or a quick cool-down, and visiting dogs usually love doing the same. If a pet is staying overnight, especially during fireworks season, I make sure our last walk is earlier in the evening so everyone is settled before the noise begins. Our house has very good sound insulation, and with the TV on you can barely hear anything from outside, which helps dogs stay calm and comfortable. If we’re just popping in for walks, Nairobi and I always take our time. She loves to explore and sniff every single leaf, so we’re never in a rush. If your dog enjoys it, we can also play fetch or add in some extra playtime to make the walk even more fun. Overall, I do everything I can to make pets feel at home and cared for, just like I do with my own dog.

“Lorraine took care of Mayzi when we needed a sitter at short notice. After a lovely meet and greet with Lorraine and her family we felt reassured that Mayzi would be in safe, caring hands. She certainly seemed to enjoy her day with Lorraine who sent photos and updates of their walks and playtime with their dog Willow. Lorraine is open and friendly and seems to genuinely care about the wellbeing of her "guests" so Mayzi came home relaxed and happy and we can wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine and her lovely family if you need someone to look after your precious pet.”

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.

Amy provided us with lots of pictures whilst they were out to reassure he was okay etc... Overall a very good experience and we most definitely would recommend.”

For drop ins and walks, I can leave Luna at home if your pet loves one to one attention.
“Kylie is great. She sent me photos and provided Pickles with two 30 min walks today. Everything went really well and I’ll be back in touch with her for more walks soon. Thank you, Kylie!”

About: i have always had pets in my family so it’s second nature to care for them! it is my number one aim to ensure that they’re happy and well looked after whilst in my care and i understand every pet is different so i like to provide a custom service ensuring all of your pets’ needs are met. i have been trusted by many when it comes to taking care of their pets and take pride in punctuality, professionalism, good communication and above all, ensuring that they get the best care whilst their owners are away. i have looked after several different animals including cats, dogs, chickens and tortoises to name a few. i have also dealt with a variety of needs pets may have such as a strict walking schedule, elderly dogs, oral medication administration and therefore have a lot of experience with catering for the specific needs of each pet. i understand it can be daunting leaving your furry friend with a stranger but rest assured you’ll always come home to a happy pet! i have limited availability but with what i do have, i’d love to provide your pet with the love and care they need whilst you’re away! contact me to discuss any requests :) [FOR HOUSE SITTING] when house sitting i like to ensure that i stick to each pets daily routine (if there is one in place) to ensure that they feel safe, relaxed and happy. reading your pets body language is very important to gauge their wishes whilst caring for them such as when they want to play, nap, have fusses and cuddles or be left to their own devices (within reason i.e. to nap). i also ensure that i treat every owners home as if it were my own, with respect, i.e. cleaning up after my self. [ONLY RELEVANT FOR DAY CARE AND/OR DOG BOARDING] we have a young english bulldog (blue) who is energetic and loves other dogs. there is a fenced garden and multiple parks within 200yards of my house so all of your pets walking and socialisation needs will be met as well as regular toilet breaks where needed :) (does not come with me during stays at pet owners house).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time and we also have other animals such as guinea pigs and quails. I would love to have more pets-we had our two current dogs from puppies and love them dearly. I can only host your pet when I am not at work to give them my full attention. I have long holiday periods and like to offer care on a limited basis. I have a large fenced garden in a rural setting. I have two dogs currently. They are allowed anywhere downstairs including the sofa! There are two older children in the house who also love dogs.

Dogs are a big part of my life, caring, walking and playing etc We have a dog proof non escape proof garden so any dog would be completely safe here. there is plenty of room for pooches to run around and play.
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: 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.)

“Clare is an excellent dog sitter. She is patient, kind, and communicates clearly, and our dog always seems happy and well cared for when we pick him up. I would highly recommend her. Her gentle, soft-spoken manner is especially helpful for our anxious dog.”
“Big thanks to Rory, Hannah and Basil for looking after Teddy our Lab. Communication was great and we were kept updated with photos and videos, it was our first time leaving Teddy with anyone and they made the process so easy and we felt assured he was in great hands and I think Ted found a friend in Basil who is such a lovely dog too! Would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Barnaby had a fab time with John, Harry and Finn and we are so grateful we found them on Rover! Barnaby was treated like one their own, and settled in really well in their home. Barnaby had a fab time and I’m sure he is looking forward to his next stay already ☺️”
“We cannot praise Mariia enough for looking after Daisy so well. Regular updates and putting Daisy's welfare uppermost during the stay meant that we had total trust that our much loved girl was being looked after so well. When we picked Daisy up, Mariia was fantastic, giving us advise and recommendations. We would not hesitate to leave Daisy with her again, and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Mariia xx”
“Tania and Sebastian were wonderful hosts for our dog Rossi. They are lovely people and took great care to help Rossi settle in. They also kept us updated with pictures and reports. We can't fault them!”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I was the proud owner of a Golden Retriever and a Husky, whom I raised from puppyhood. This experience has given me a good understanding of dogs’ different personalities, exercise needs, and daily routines. Caring for dogs has always been a true passion of mine. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while they’re in my care. My home is a detached house with a secure, enclosed back garden where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. We also have a large park just a short walk away, making it perfect for enjoyable walks, exercise, and exploring new smells. I know how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else because I’ve been in that position myself. That’s why I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, companionship, and regular updates with photos so you can enjoy complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply relaxing in a calm home environment, I’ll make sure they receive the care, comfort, and affection they deserve. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry friend into my home! I work from home for most of the week, which means I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. I enjoy having pets around me and can provide regular toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, and exercise without leaving them alone for long periods. I also love taking photos of the pets in my care and sending regular updates to their owners, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and enjoying their stay. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. My detached house has a secure, enclosed back garden where dogs can play safely, and there’s also a large park just a short walk away for enjoyable daily walks and exercise. I always follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and any special requirements to help pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal schedule. Every pet receives plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“I cannot recommend Lucy highly enough! I was in a complete panic when my originally booked pet sitter cancelled just one day before my trip. In that moment of desperation, Lucy stepped in to help care for my dog, Ginger. Lucy is absolutely wonderful and truly loves animals. She took such great care of Ginger and was incredibly responsible, providing regular updates that gave me total peace of mind throughout my journey. I will definitely be reaching out to Lucy again whenever I need someone to look after Ginger. If you are looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, Lucy is the one!”
“Mark and Katie were absolutely fantastic with our Whippet, Blue. From the start, we felt completely confident leaving her in their care. They’re warm, attentive, and clearly adore dogs, treating Blue like one of their own. We really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Blue had the best time and has become best friends with Watson — it’s so lovely to see how much she enjoys being with them! She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Mark and Katie to anyone looking for amazing dog sitters.”
“Very enthusiastic dog lover, based centrally in Bedford. Mafalda looked after my dalmatian/cross for 4 days. I received regular photos, videos and updates. He was very well looked after. Thank you.”
“Great sitter!! My family and I went on holiday for a week and we left my cat, Tommy, in her care and she was great! He was super happy and got comfortable quick. Dominika provided us with loads of pictures of Tommy throughout his stay and it was lovely seeing those updates. Definitely recommend to anyone else who may need a sitter for their pet! :)”
“This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone to go away and we definitely struck lucky first time with Amy and her partner. Pepsi had a great time with her other dogs and Amy was so attentive to her. Pepsi formed a great bond with them all and we will definitely be taking her back for a second stay. The constant updates and photo spam was very very appreciated also. I would definitely recommend Amy.”
