About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a slower pace, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies that need consistency, patience, and reinforcement of basic training and house routines. I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs who require medications, mobility assistance, or a more relaxed schedule. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns. Reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your pet with dependable, compassionate care in a safe and loving environment. I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve rather than rushing through visits. Whether it's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, taking a long walk, or simply providing companionship, I plan my day around each pet's needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care so your pet stays comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do everything I can to maintain their schedule while you're away. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also make sure your home stays clean and secure, including refreshing water bowls, cleaning up after pets, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality. Some love long walks and games of fetch, while others simply want companionship and affection. I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and comfort level. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic commands that you're already working on. For senior pets, I provide a slower pace, extra patience, medication administration if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“We needed last minute help for our fur baby and Callie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She not only cared for our dog, Carlin, she took him for awesome walks (while our cat followed ?) and sent us updates and pictures. We knew he was in good hands and will absolutely be using Callie in the future! She is beyond caring and we recommend her HIGHLY! Thanks Callie!”
About: Hi! I’m Alanna, a lifelong dog lover with both personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and I’ve worked as a shift lead at a pet store for over 2 years, where I also handle dogs in the grooming department. This means I’m very comfortable working with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including anxious or high-energy dogs. I have experience with handling, basic grooming support, and reading dog behavior, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work part-time and take most of my college classes online, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I always adjust my care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule to minimize stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and provide regular updates. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment with constant supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. My experience working in a pet store and handling dogs in grooming has made me confident with a wide range of temperaments, so safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bedford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
