About: I've always had animas since I was young! All breeds of dogs, cats, hamsters, and we even had 5 llamas!! I've watched over several of my neighbor's dogs and dogs of all ages. I’ve trained two dogs and use the bell system for all my dogs. I currently have two cats! Fluff balls. I have always been open to watching dogs, feeding, walking, and house sitting while families are away. We've fostered many liters of kittens! I am very flexible with my job and location. Depending on the need we can make something work! Open to weekends and special cases too. I’ll care for various animal! I am open to different requests and would treat any animal like my own.

About: My name is Haylee. I have had a love for animals all my life, ever since I got my first cat when I was six. I have pet-sitted and owned many pets over the years and I appreciate them all so much. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. I am currently in long distance college classes, so I am able to come visit during the day. I am freely available to visit during work hours and take care of your pet. I care for the pet in the way laid out in your instructions! Making sure they walk and get their medicine and play as needed. I don't feed or give any snacks not expressly allowed by the owner!
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Claire did dog sitting at our home for three weeks. She took care of our dog, YoYo well - walked, played, fed, and cleaned up after him. Claire also kept us informed by sending photos on a regular basis. She responds to messages promptly.”
“Peggy was wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with our little goofballs. Both dogs and the house were very well cared for. We would definitely recommend Peggy to others and will book her again for sure👍🏻👍🏻”

“Cady has been such a savior for us and we cannot say enough good things about her! My pup had an injury and less than 10 hours from when we had to leave we needed someone to care for her 24/7 as she could not walk properly and was in pain. Cady responded immediately and even made time in her schedule for a quick visit so we could all get acquainted. She went above and beyond for our pup even helping us communicate with the vet and get medication. She gave her the attention and care she needed and helped nurse her back to her normal self. It broke our heart leaving our pup in that state but Cady was constantly checking in and providing updates and being flexible with our pups need. I will be thankful for how she stepped in so last minute and provided top tier care and will definitely be contacting her and recommending her to care for any furry friends!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford
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!
This is the second time we booked Kaylie to take care of our Beagle puppy Belle. It was very comforting to see Belle was so happy when she saw Kaylie. Kaylie is a great puppy sitter and we plan to have her take care of of our puppy again. We highly recommend Ksylie!
Loanne and John were nothing but amazing! They sent multiple daily updates and pictures, and provided the best care to our two pups. One of our pups is going through some sleep issues and they were so patient with him and his needs. We felt so comfortable and at ease while we were away and are so thankful we found them!! We will definitely use their services again!
Timothy is the BEST! As a very anxious dog mom, I don’t trust easily, but he completely put me at ease from the start. He showed my dog so much love, took her on a great walk, and kept me updated with pictures the whole time, which meant everything to me. I’m so grateful we found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
In a sea of amateur pet sitters, Symone stands out as a true professional in the industry. She runs her small business like a pro. She’s communicative, responsible, trustworthy, experienced, and pleasant. We used her twice in 6 weeks and both times she went the extra mile, taking care of our home and pets during the ice storm and remembering things like leaving faucets dripping during the ice storm and leaving calm dog tv on for our pup. She was patient with our pup during the meet greet as he can be reactive and he loved her. We will use her every time we need a sitter as she is the best we have found. Our home always feels clean and smells great after her visits. Can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bedford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bedford on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,191 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.
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 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.

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.
