“Cailyn was amazing to work with. We loved getting pictures and updates from her for our 2 cats and 1 dog. She had a very serene energy which was a perfect match for our senior dog who can sometimes get anxious. Cailyn left the house in perfect condition! We'd hope to book her again in the future and recommend to anyone on the fence that you book her up immediately.”
“We had such a great experience with Julie caring for our dogs while we were on vacation. She followed all of our instructions really well and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Julie was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our dogs, which meant so much to us. It’s not easy leaving your pets, but knowing they were in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely book with Julie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Nikera! She stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated throughout the trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our home was well cared for, and it was clear everyone received lots of attention and love. She also went above and beyond by staying late to accommodate our travel schedule, which we truly appreciated. Her flexibility and kindness made a stressful travel day much easier. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated knowing our pets and home were such good hands while we were away and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Veronica is very pleasant and friendly. She took great care of Marley, taking her for her walks and playing ball with her. She gave her all the attention and affection she needed. Marley loved her and when we came home she showed us her affection for her. We would be happy to have Veronica take care of Marley anytime in the future.”
“Sarah took great care of our pup for a long weekend. Our dog seemed happy and well taken care of. We got a lot of updates and pics and easy communication. Our apartment was cleaned up and everything was very tidy when we returned. We will absolutely have Sarah back in the future as needed”
“Shirley has sat for us twice now and our dogs both love her! She is very caring, easy to communicate with, and knows all the right questions to ask about the pups. She’s left our home in perfect condition while we were away too. We will definitely continue to have her and recommend her to anyway else as well!”
“Callie and Gemma always take such good care of our pups when we’re away. We’ve used them before and will continue to use them in the future for all of our trips. We know our pups are loved and well cared for when Callie and Gemma are with them.”
“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”
“Wren is phenomenal. He went above and beyond providing care for our dog while we were gone on a family vacation. My dog is visibly sad that Wren is no longer hanging out with him since our return. Wren comes with our highest recommendations- if you are looking for a dependable, experienced and kind hearted care giver for your pet, he is your guy.”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter and took excellent care of our two small dogs and our house! She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. When we came home after our weekend away, our pets were relaxed and happy. She even baked some cookies for us!”

With a flexible schedule, I am home throughout the day, and my daughters, now 11 and 14, are equally excited to love on more fur babies.

We understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, which is why we personalize their stay here to match their routine at home. Whether they need extra walks, bedtime snuggles, special dietary needs, or require medication - we have plenty of experience and will make sure they are well taken care of. Have a new puppy? We have several clients since they were puppies. We specialize in puppy care and providing working families a safe and loving environment for their puppy to play during the day.

Trust is paramount, both for you and your pet. To ensure transparency and peace of mind I love to send regular updates, photos and videos of how your pups day is going.
About: Lifelong cat and dog lover with experience caring for rescue cats of all personalities. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and provide loving, personalized care for every cat and puppy. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, growing up with rescue cats and two Saint Bernards. I currently have five cats of my own and truly understand how much our pets mean to us. I work full-time, but my schedule gives me mornings available for walks and pet visits, including early morning appointments. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets companionship, exercise, and loving care while you’re away or at work. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I keep pets supervised, secure, and comfortable while following each owner’s instructions and routine. During walks, I use safe routes and always keep pets properly secured. I’m attentive to their behavior, surroundings, and needs, and I treat every pet with the same patience and care I give my own five cats.
About: Hello! I’m a New Hampshire native who loves spending time with dogs and am looking forward to providing some extra pup companionship! 🐾 I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs, as well as walking, administering medications, and overnight stays. I’m very active and live near a great trail, so I’d love to take your pup for a walk, run, or adventure! But if relaxing is more your dog’s speed, I’m also an expert in lounging and sunbathing. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends, including daytime, evening, and overnight care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, safe, and right at home while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and keep you updated so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, evening care, and overnight stays, with weekends available on request. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule whenever possible. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and there are no other pets in my home, so your pup can have my full attention. For car rides, I have a hammock-style seat cover and a dog seat belt to help keep your pet secure and comfortable. I am happy to follow your preferred method of car safety for your dog. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: I have lived my whole life having a dog or a cat. I have also done some pet sitting for friends and family while they are away. I work from 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I work in North Andover, MA the rest of the week so I am only able to stop by before or after work on those days. Should your pet require me to be around during the day, I have the flexibility to work from home any day of the week. My weekends usually consist of being out and about so I would gladly fit your pet in my schedule. At my apartment, I am not able to have dogs but I am allowed to have cats so if you need a dog sitter, I would not be able to house your dog, but I could potentially house your car. I do not have any pets of my own.
About: We've always had a strong love for dogs! Growing up in a household with dogs, sitting for friends/families dogs, and now having two dogs of our own, we feel confident that your pup will be well taken care of! Unfortunately, both of our dogs have a chronic medical condition requiring very strict food and medication administration. Therefore, we are extremely mindful of dogs who may have special needs, diet restrictions, allergies, medication administration, separation anxiety, etc. We utilize a positive reinforcement approach to training/caring for our dogs and other dogs! Working from home provides us the flexibility to give your pup the love and attention they need! They will never be left alone when boarding with us regardless if it is a weekday/weekend. We understand being away from home can be stressful and want to be there every step of the way! We can accommodate 1 dog per day/night and have a large fenced in backyard for plenty of space for your pups to run around! The fence is 6ft+ and very secure. We also have two very friendly dogs who love nothing more than to play and cuddle on the couch! We only allow dogs from the same home at one time so you can be rest assured your dog will get the attention, love, and safety they need. We will treat your pup like they are our own and understand the anxiety of being away from your furry friend!
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my household throughout my lifetime and I love getting to know all their different personalities. I currently have an open schedule whenever my service is needed! I can match the pet's vibe and have no issues giving as much attention as needed. I will follow all requirements as requested to make sure your pet has the best experience with me as their sitter. Ex: walks, ensuring they are fed and taken care of, and taking them outside to the bathroom when needed. I will provide attention and check in with the owner with updates and ask questions if necessary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford
Mallori was awesome with my anxious dogs and was flexible when I had a late change which I appreciated so much! I felt that my dogs were completely safe with her and will absolutely be booking with her again! She also sent lots of updates throughout the day and photos! Thank you again for taking great care of my girls!!
This was our first time using Rover and hiring a stranger to stay in our home with our 15 year old Shih Tzu. We met Chelsey for a meet and greet beforehand and liked that she seemed both friendly and professional. She stayed with Rosie for 9 days, giving us updates and photos daily. Chelsey went above and beyond giving Rosie pills that were recently prescribed, shoveling the pathways after snow and helping with a repair person that needed to come during her stay. Although Rosie was happy to see us when we returned, she also looked content. The house was left in great condition too. We hopefully will be hiring Chelsey again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bedford is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
