“Delaney W was great with my Jack Russell Terrier. She communicated with me and left photos. She was punctual and informative. I did not worry at all about the care my dog was receiving. Thank you, Delaney!”
“Nikki was outstanding with our dogs! She definitely had her hands full with our 4 month old puppy! Our senior dog loved her to pieces and didn’t exhibit his usual separation anxiety when away from me. She sent many photos and updates throughout our vacation. We loved that. She is a genuine dog lover, compassionate, and kind! We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again!”
“Tanya is outstanding. One of our dogs is very afraid of new people, but she warmed up to Tanya very quickly - much more quickly than I expected. Tanya was great with the dogs, respectful our of home, and highly communicative. She is a great dog sitter/walker and we would definitely hire her again.”
“Anna was our 5 month old puppy’s first pet sitter. We had a great time at a family wedding knowing that Trigo was well cared for and having fun. Enjoyed getting pictures and updates of how he was doing. When we came home, he was glad to see us but sad to see her go!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for newborn kittens and helped care for my cat after giving birth, so I’m comfortable with very young and sensitive pets. I’m attentive, patient, and focused on keeping animals safe, happy, and loved. I can work part-time mainly in the afternoon during weekdays Tuesday through Thursday and I’m available to sit overnight during weekends and also Monday and Friday I provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their routine closely! Feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care. I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free.
“Julia went above and beyond taking care of our animals. She was responsive and sent regular updates. We came home to happy pets who were clearly well taken care of. We really could not have found a better house sitter and I would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”
“Eric is super reliable. He shows up on time and he is very gentle with my anxious dog, Boo. She takes time to become comfortable with new people, and she is off to a good start with Eric.”
“Cat is such a trustworthy person, I never have to worry when she’s caring for my pets. I have used her multiple times and every time I am so thankful for her help.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Natalie. She took care of my 3 cats including a senior who has some special accommodations and medications. She was very kind, thorough, and respectful of my home. My cats can be a bit skittish but they gained comfort with her very quickly. I’ll do my best to rebook with Natalie next time i need a sitter. She made being away from home far less stressful.”
“We recently left our 10 month old puppy with Noelle for a week. She did a fantastic job! Such consistent communication, she clearly had such fun with our dog and made her so happy, and we came home to a spotless home and a very happy puppy! We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of our Sophie and our home. Sophie, our lab, did not want Jonathan to leave. He took great care of Sophie and we would definitely use him again. We highly recommend Jonathan.”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“If we could give Bianca 10 shining stars, we would! Bianca took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper, in our home. Bianca arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Bianca sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Bianca has our highest recommendation, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Bianca!!!!!”
“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”
About: I've cared for dogs since childhood. We had multiple dogs growing up and I've always enjoyed helping family and friends with their animals as needed. I care for my dog friend at home these days and am excited to meet other dogs and give them care/company! My career in psychology has given me a background in behavioral learning and plan setting, and to support training schedules as needed. I have a career in psychology with down time, I'm looking to use my experience to help dogs and owners. My schedule allows for walks during the day and I have flexibility to stay over if needed. I have a dog at home and utilize the same care for pets and their owners that I practice with my little one. Safety is paramount and whether on walks or watching pets at home, I ensure that pets are cared for well. Fun and enrichment are also important and a big part of my motivation to spend time with pet friends. It's important that they can relax and have fun while being safely supervised.
“Brianna agreed to come at short notice to watch our puppy Miso for a few hours this weekend. She came on time and seemed very mature and confident. Miso quickly became quite comfortable with Brianna. While we were away, Brianna fed Miso and took her out for a long walk too. We are so happy with Brianna that we have already asked her to do another house sitting soon.”
About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, making me very comfortable with all pets. With my experience, I feel comfortable keeping up with feeding schedules, refreshing water, administering medications, and providing adequate exercise! I am an active person, so I'm happy to walk, hike, or even run with your furry friend! I consider myself a true animal lover, and I feel my strength is to be able to connect with each dog-and loving on your pet will never be a problem. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your cat is happy and well cared for. Currently, I work mostly from home which means that I have the flexibility to fit most schedules for pet-sitting, drop-ins, and walking-including last minute availability! I am organized and punctual to adhere to schedules, and I also have reliable transportation to get to/from jobs. I have reliable transportation to be able to come to you! I hope to build a trusting relationship with every client, pet and family included, and I feel that starts with a foundation of respect, responsbility, and genuine care! We all want to keep our furry friends happy and cared for, and I want to be a part of that!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford
Cameron has been a delight to work with, from the get-go. Pup and house were both in great shape after an eight day house sit. Communication is always fast and efficient. Pup is active, lives for long walks and lots of play, Cam went well beyond “meeting expectations” in every way.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bedford is $99 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $120 per night.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bedford. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
