“Haley was wonderful with our little dog. She came for a meet and greet the day before and I quickly knew she was an animal lover. She was always quick to respond, on time, and communicated well. Her pictures and details on the rover cards gave us peace of mind that Freya was in good hands and well cared for.”
About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.
About: I have grown up in a pet filled home. In my household, we always had at least 2 dogs and one cat. My parents relied on my sisters and I to take care of all of our pets. I came to this role enthusiastically as I have always enjoyed feeding, walking, and giving love to pets. In high-school, I frequently pet-sitted for neighbors and family friends! Some of these opportunities consisted of me just stopping by and giving pets company or exercise, but I have various experiences taking care of pets overnight in their homes. All of these jobs I am familiar and extremely comfortable with handling! I am currently a full-time student at Indiana University in my third year, but I have a pretty flexible class schedule that allows me to be free during early mornings and late afternoon into evenings! I am also pretty free on the weekends mostly in the mornings! I do not leave town often and since my schedule rarely changes, I am dependable and can commit If at a client home, I make sure to note if they have a fence, a doggy door, and whether the street they’re on is particularly busy. I will make sure to keep a close watch on your pet and also respect the confines of your home!
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 10 years, which taught me a lot about daily pet responsibilities and the bond animals form with us. For the past two years, I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I walk dogs, clean kennels, and help care for cats. This hands-on experience has helped me become confident handling a variety of animal temperaments and needs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a real love for animals to every interaction. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I start my mornings with feeding and walking, followed by playtime or any special care needed throughout the day. Evenings are dedicated to another walk, meals, and winding down with cuddles or calm time. I maintain a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my environment, removing any harmful items, and creating a calm and clean space. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and ensure routines are maintained. Whether in my home or theirs, I monitor pets closely, provide positive reinforcement, and keep them comfortable with familiar items like their toys or bedding. I also keep emergency contacts and a vet plan ready at all times.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford
Elizabeth was awesome! My Cat loved her ! My cat is usually timid around people, but she warmed up to her super fast. Elizabeth has that special talent. Pictures and updates were great too. I would definitely recommend her! , and I will be using her services again for sure ! 👍
Brandon took extra time out of his week to meet my pups before the day his services were needed. He was patient with them and calm when meeting them as they are highly anxious and can be a lot. Brandon also was willing to check on my guinea pig, ensuring that she had plenty of food and water. Pictures, updates, and notes were given with each visit alleviating my own anxiety as I have never used an agency dog service before. My pets are happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bedford is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bedford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, 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 lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bedford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
