“We had a wonderful experience with Karein. Our cat is quite shy and typically hides from new people, but she was incredibly patient and thoughtful in her approach, doing her best to help him feel comfortable without ever pushing too hard. She was consistently reliable and showed up exactly at the times she said she would. She took great care of the basics—feeding him on schedule and making sure his water was always fresh and full. It was very reassuring to know he was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive cat sitter.”
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”
About: *Hanscom AFB Access* I've been an animal lover my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to details, and I'll follow your care instructions closely to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own while keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. As someone who works on Hanscom Air Force Base and has base access, I'm in a unique position to provide convenient, dependable pet care for military and civilian families on base. I can easily stop by for early morning, lunchtime, and afternoon visits during the week, and I'm also available for flexible check-ins throughout the weekend. Whether you're at work, traveling, or TDY, I'll make sure your pet receives attentive, reliable care. I work four days a week, which allows me to offer early morning, lunchtime, and afternoon check-ins throughout the week. I live nearby and have a flexible schedule, making it easy to provide reliable care and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. On weekends, I have even more availability for multiple visits and extra quality time with your pet. During every drop-in visit, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, walks if requested, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection based on your pet's personality and preferences. I respect your home as if it were my own, making sure doors are securely locked, everything is left clean and tidy, and your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. I'll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Julia was tremendous! Julia communicated well, arrived on time, and provided great care of Miley - she has a clear love for dogs. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I adopted my first dog in second grade. He was my responsibility and as I got older, I learned that I loved going for walks outside as much as my dog. Now that I'm older, I love taking friends' dogs for hikes in new locations. I have even managed to train one of my friend's reactive dog so she pulls on the leash less. I also briefly fostered animals when I was in graduate school. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of hours to devote to your pet and look forward to enjoying plenty of summer outside time with your dog. I have walked a wide range of dogs, including a couple of reactive pit bull mixes. I have experienced triggering situations with dogs and know how to either handle them or avoid them.
“Above and beyond our expectations! She played with our dogs, took for walks, cleaned up after and diligently ensured they were happy and doing well. Great job Courtney!”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my patience, energy, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy that needs lots of playtime and guidance or a senior pet that requires a gentler, more attentive approach, I adapt easily to provide the best care possible. I’m very energetic, which means I can keep up with active pets and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. At the same time, my patience allows me to work well with younger pets who are still learning, helping reinforce positive behaviors in a calm and consistent way. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Because of that, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, attention, and responsibility. I am proficient in potty training and any skills needed in caring for a young puppy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I have the most availability on weekends (all day/night), which allows me to spend extended time with pets for walks, play, and attention. During the week, I’m available in the evenings and in the evenings/nights, making me a great option for dinner-time visits, late walks, or overnight care. I’m reliable about sticking to routines, so your pet can stay on a consistent schedule. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep their space clean, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I do have a dog of my own who is friendly and used to being around other dogs, so your pet would have companionship as well. I always introduce pets and make sure they are comfortable with each other, and I can separate them if needed to ensure everyone feels safe. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are well cared for, happy, and secure.
“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”
“Angela took great care of our dog during a weekend away. She is an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures too keep us posted of drop ins and walks. Would definitely ask her to help us out next time we need to go out of town.”
“Danielle took incredible care of my kittens while I was away for a week. She was a total pro. We met beforehand to do introductions and go over the routine. She clearly familiarized herself with the profile notes on my kittens. While I was away I received daily updates and photos. I definitely recommend working with Danielle and she’ll be the first person I reach out to for future pet sitting.”
“Kiley did a great job. Reliable and attentive. Our cat was very happy when we got back but did not seem anxious or upset. She sometimes is when we have gone away in the past. Highly recommend Kiley.”
“Sawyer was great- able to jump in for a short notice trip and did a great job communicating about how the visits with our cat were going. We were very appreciative and would definitely recommend!”

About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford
Karein is great! Our cat Big Guy, does not like people. Over the 2 weeks we were away, she got him to come out of his shell and let her pet him. It was a great experience to know Big Guy was in good hands while we were away. She even got him playing with some toys… and his name is Big Guy for a reason! 😸

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bedford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
