“Finley stayed at our home and took great care of our Great Dane while we were away. We were sent regular updates and photos during their time together. And, without being asked Finley even washed the sheets, towels, and kitchenware before leaving the house. He will definitely be at the top of our Rover list next time we need a sitter.”
“If I could give Tom 100 stars, I would. He truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs. From the moment we left, we received continuous updates and photos which gave me complete peace of mind. He didn't just cover the basics, he showered them with so much genuine love, care, and attention. The real proof was in our dogs' behavior they were actually sad when he left! It is so rare to find someone who connects with your babies like this. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”
“You could tell Julia enjoys dogs and she bonded very quickly with my guy. She was very responsive to communication throughout the stay-it was a pleasure to work with Julia.”
“Erik is such a great communicator and super responsible. Our puppy just loved cuddling and playing with him and she’s already looking forward to our next night out so Erik can come back!”
“Christy recently dog sat at our home for a week for our 7 year old mini doodle and we could not recommend her highly enough! She was reliable, communicative, responsive, great at expectation setting and clearly someone who genuinely loves caring for and spending time with pets. We knew our dog was in great hands with her and getting lots of love and attention. She even came to our home an extra time before our trip, to make sure our dog got to know and trust her. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would enthusiastically rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Christy!”
“Omar was so wonderful and professional with our senior cat and senior dog. He was respectful of our home while house sitting and left it in great condition! Omar is also genuinely a wonderful guy, super great to work with and trustworthy. We can’t wait to book him again!”
“Leaving on vacation is always difficult when you have to leave your furry family members behind, but Guillermo made it so easy! He was so attentive and able to take care of all the various needs our pets, from a very old cat who needed special feeding to our dog who needed medicine and an ear cleaning. We are so thankful Guillermo was here to take care of everyone! Very highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Courtney did a great job house sitting for our 13 year old dog. He was in great spirits when we returned. Courtney was very professional and a pleasure to work with.”
“Cameron sat out border collie mix Sushi, at our house, and they were amazing. Our pup is high energy and they kept her engaged, played fetch and went for a long walk with her. We came home to a tired Sushi, clearly she had a great time. Cameron followed Sushi’s care instructions and was very communicative with us. They sent us updates of all the fun times they had with Sushi. Would love to have them again to care for Sushi ❤️”
“Timothy house sat and took care of our mature cat Max for five days and four nights. Timothy met all of our expectations; both for our home and with Max. Timothy has excellent communication skills both before, during, and after his care of Max. We received daily pictures of Max along with updates from Timothy. He left our home as clean as it was when we left. We hope to have Timothy help us with Max and our home in the future. I highly recommend Timothy as someone who will take care of your home and pet. Thank you.”
About: I have a gold retriever and I do know how difficult to leave them when you have to go. I’ll take care them like they are home. I’m full time mom, and my pup can play with your pup to make sure they won’t be alone. I’m full time mom and always home. Feel free to let me know if there’s any specific needs. So I can stay with your baby all the time to give them cuddles & play. I only accept a pup boarding at my house except you have 2 pups at the same time. My kids are pet lover too. They are more than happy to sleep with your baby if it’s needed.
“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”
“Above and Beyond Karein immediately earned our trust as our two dogs bonded with her on a first visit. She kept us informed of their well-being every step of the way, including caring for a tummy upset and introducing them to new friends on a walk. A hidden treasure: the house was more beautiful when we returned than when we left -- of note: a meticulously organized refrigerator!! My instinct, having read other reviews, was to contact Karein immediately, and we're so glad we did. Highly recommend her, and only wish we had the budget to make her a regular weekly dog walker and a steady housesitter/dogsitter!! Thank you Karein, and thanks Rover for an excellent experience!”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
“Traci did an AMAZING job with our elderly girl. She left the house neat and our girl was happy. My family feels much more comfortable going away knowing Traci will be there to watch our girl.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bedford is $60

This was our first time booking with Sawyer, and everything was wonderful. We were away for a week and needed overnight care and daytime company for our Abyssinian, Freya, who doesn’t like being alone for long stretches. Sawyer did three feedings a day, kept her litter box and dishes clean, and made sure she got plenty of playtime and attention. He also stopped by beforehand to meet us and Freya, and it was obvious right away that she was comfortable with him—which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Throughout the week Sawyer was great at communicating and sent daily updates. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat. We can’t recommend Sawyer highly enough and will absolutely book him again for our next trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bedford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bedford on Rover is $58.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,667 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bedford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align 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 favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bedford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
