About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!

“Chanel is not just a dog sitter; she's a magical unicorn in the world of pet care! Jasper had a blast with her, and we couldn't be happier. Punctual, kind, and armed with a killer sense of humor, Chanel is the whole package. The videos and photos she shared were gold, but her witty captions stole the show, and Jasper was clearly living his best life We've already marked our calendars with her and we’re counting down the days until our next adventure, with Jasper safe and sound under Chanel's expert care.”

About: Quick overview: >Near DFW airport & quick access to major freeways, toll roads for a convenient drop-off and pick-up >17 years experience with many breeds and species >Have senior dog (Peach, 65 lbs.) & puppy (Steve, 15 lbs) >At home full-time, let dogs out as often as they please >All dogs welcome to sleep, play, etc. anywhere inside >LARGE backyard for fetching, running, exploring, and relaxing >Updates with photos and videos sent every stay All pets deserve lots of love and attention. I have a lot of love to give your furry baby and more patience to go around! Over my lifetime, I have owned 11 dogs, 5 cats, 2 birds, and 2 fish. We currently have a large dog named Peach (one of many mixed breeds we've owned) and an Aussie-Doodle puppy! We are more familiar with different personalities and traits. Our two kids (ages 6 and 4) will likely be with me during drop-ins. My husband will be home while hosting your pet, but as he has a job outside the home, I will be providing full-time care. Trusting us for your pet needs, you will find peace in knowing that your beloved furbabies are in safe, loving hands. You will receive detailed updates and pictures every day of boarding, and we will always respect yours and your pets' boundaries. When boarding: Immediately after we wake up for the day, I will feed each dog separately (unless from the same from the same family and you prefer them to eat together.) I will then take all the dogs out to our huge backyard to potty and play. When the weather is nice, we leave the door open all day so we and all dogs can all come in and out as we please. No dog will be unsupervised! Bedtime is whenever the pups want and we offer lots of blankets, our couch, and our bedrooms for sleeping. We are pet lovers ourselves and know how anxious we can get when leaving our pets with someone new. You will find that you've made the right choice by trusting our family.

About: I have 4 years of pet shelter experience where I would walk dogs of all sizes, care for them, and play with them, along with other cleaning tasks. One thing about me is that I have lots of energy and endurance to play with and run with dogs. I also have cat experience where I would care for and play with the cats at the shelter. I have experience living with a dog and cat, as well as young puppy experience. I also have been dog sitting for friends and family friends throughout mv lifetime. I’m currently working part-time from home, where I can pick my own hours, so I can dog/cat sit whenever you are in need! I am available weekdays, and I am available weekends if given enough time notice! I have no other pets, so your animals will feel safe and not intimidated. I live in a gated community with a beautiful, large, walking path amongst trees, along with a dog park!

About: Hi my name is Laurel, but I go by my middle name Paige. In my home I have 2 dogs, 1 turtle and 1 fish. I have been a dog mom since I was in the 2nd grade and my parents surprised me with a miniature poodle for Christmas. Since then, there hasn't been a time I didn't hear the pitter-patter of four little paws, or more, in my home. One of the best feelings is coming home and being greeted with a wagging tail and lots of kisses. No matter how bad a day is, love from a dog will warm your heart and our love to them warms theirs as well. I don't view dogs as pets, they're part of the family. They need love, attention and lots of hugs. When you're drawn away from your home whether it be work, vacation or a family emergency it's good to have someone you know will love on your babies until you're home. Will they miss you? Absolutely! Will they still get love and attention during your absence? Absolutely! You can't always be home, but you can always have someone you trust to treat your fur babies as their own. I work full-time in a hospital 7a-3:30p M-F. I am able to come by before work if needed and of course after I get off. I am also able to stay overnight in your home, if you so choose. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am a dependable, trustworthy, clean, and nonsmoker dog-loving girl. I will treat your fur babies as my own, following the guidelines you set. I will treat your home with respect whether I am there for a few hours or overnight. I will make sure I have your veterinarian's information as well as your information should any emergency arise.

We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”

About: For the past four years, I have taken jobs dog-sitting for friends, neighbors, and clients. I genuinely adore animals and enjoy caring for them! I am currently home from school at Texas A&M for the summer. I am currently available weekdays and Saturday, and can adjust my schedule to accommodate my clients! I am more than willing to offer all-day and overnight visits with pets! At the moment, I do have a job Monday through Friday, and will have to be away from the pets several hours during the day. However, it will be no more than 5 or 6 hours at a time. My services are available Monday through Saturday.

About: I have had numerous animals since I was young, I have animal sat for cats dogs and even snakes, I did check ins, walks and grooming as well! I’m currently in college full time, so my schedule can vary, but I’m good at planning ahead and making time for pet care. I honestly enjoy spending my free time with animals because it’s a great way for me to relax and destress from school. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and safe while I’m with them. I’ll follow their normal routine, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they’re always supervised and cared for.

Third time with Sandra, this time we had a third dog. They all love her so much. Our newest, youngest one liked her so much that when she left after we got home, he stood at the door waiting for her to come back for a few minutes. Will recommend Sandra for anyone who wants their pets to be taken super well taken care of. She always goes above and beyond.

Tim was absolutely phenomenal, and I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter! Leaving Winnie Joy is never easy, but from the moment I left, I knew she and my home were in great hands. Tim was incredibly communicative throughout my trip, sending thoughtful updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. It was obvious that Winnie Joy was loved and well cared for while I was away. She looked happy, relaxed, and completely herself when I got home, which says everything about the care and attention Tim gave her. He didn't just meet her basic needs he genuinely spent time with her and made sure she felt comfortable and loved. Tim also took exceptional care of my home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as I had left it. It's such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house after traveling. What impressed me most was Tim's reliability, kindness, and professionalism. He treated both my home and Winnie Joy with genuine care and respect, and I never once had to worry while I was gone. Finding someone you trust with both your pet and your home is priceless, and Tim exceeded every expectation. I would happily book Tim again without a second thought and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable house sitter. Thank you, Tim, for taking such wonderful care of Winnie Joy and my home. You truly made my trip stress-free! 🐾❤️

Awesome!! Highly recommend!! Claire house sat for us and took care of our 3 dogs while we took a long, much needed vacation. We were apprehensive having someone we didn't know stay at the house and care for our pups but our fears were unfounded. She was able to help us out on short notice and during 4th of July. She showed on time for our first meeting and was early on the day we left. Communication was excellent and she sent photos twice a day. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier with the decision. Thank you Claire.

Allison did a great job staying with and caring for our 9 yr old miniature Australian shepherd, Daxter! She started out very responsive to all of our communications and continued our conversations throughout her stay. We got daily pictures of all the fun they were having and asked great questions to further help the comfort of Daxter. She left our home in excellent condition and we were happy to find our baby boy in great shape and anxiety free. We’d definitely recommend her to others and hire her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bedford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Bedford is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,907 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
