About: Hi there! My name is Ashley and I'm a HUGE dog and cat lover. I primarily pet-sit in Texas and NYC (occasionally in Virginia). A bit more about me: I rescued, fostered, and adopted 10+ feral kittens to their forever homes during the pandemic on my own. I also had and trained two big furry babies back in Texas named Bentley (German-Shepard/Collie Mix, 75lbs) and Poppy (Golden Retriever, 85lbs) before they passed the rainbow bridge. My purpose: I am looking to give our four-legged besties some love while helping other fur parents feel comfortable about not being with them. I'm familiar with taking care of different types of breeds, sizes, ages, and medical conditions (giving IV fluids, diabetes shots, oral pills, etc.). I will treat your precious baby with love and care and will make sure everyone has a great time! I know how scary it can be leaving your baby under someone else's care but I hope to eliminate that fear as I send many updates with pictures to keep you impressed and reassured. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby soon! Tell me about your baby's usual daily schedule and we can adjust as needed! Most of the time my schedule tends to be flexible so we should not have an issue. Give me a list of your daily routines and norms! Let me know the little details/their habits (like they scratch the floor because they want more food or you know something is wrong if they don't eat their chicken because they never say no to chicken). Show me where everything is and who to call if something were to ever happen (but hopefully I never have to use the emergency number/emergency vet!). I'll make sure to read any instructions you give me multiple times and ask if I think anything is missing!

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.
“Kimberly was the best we have had since using Rover! She kept us well informed and took great care of our fur baby which can sometimes be difficult with the different medications she has to take, we hope Kimberly will be available for the next time we need a pet sitter but if she’s not I can see why since she’s so good with at what she does!”
“Lauren was amazing, communication with her is easy, she follow everything I asked for Picasso! I would recommended her with eyes close!!! Definitely will count with her whenever Picasso needs a sitter! 🫶🏾🐾🫶🏾”
“Kayla did a great job caring for our two dogs in our home. She followed care instructions perfectly to ensure both dogs were fed and given time outside to potty and play. She kept in touch with us to give us updates on the dogs and to let us know when she would be leaving the home.”
“Jocelyn did an amazing job taking care of our cats! She followed instructions from beginning to end and kept us updated with pictures twice a day, so we could have the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. We would love to book her again in the future. Thank you Jocelyn!!”
About: Moving to North Richland Hills in December ** I will be in Arlington in November** Hopefully, I caught your eye. Your fur baby is my baby. I have 35 yrs experience with dealing arthritis, anxiety, and cancer. I able to take care of the sick fur babies. I had the joy of having a beautiful blonde German Shepard, Ava she was 120pds of muscle, she was my shadow, my bestie and I miss her everyday. There are other many more wonderful pets I have taken care of. I will always give you not 100% but, 102%! I had the opportunity to train Ava, after we both attend dog training, dog obedience school which at first did not go so well but, after we got the hang of it we did well, 4yrs later Ava became a Service Dog for the State of Texas. I have the time, the patience the perseverance to do this for you and I will not let you down. After, 10years with Ava, she got cancer and she was in so much pain I had to make the very hard decision to let her go 🥲. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies. I love pets so much, the bring joy to my life every day. I live a beautiful property with beautiful landscaping. we can take lots of walks and enjoy the outdoors. We do not have a dog park.
“This was like a very very last minute booking and Almendra was able to help me, she is great, very communicative she follow everything I needed for Picasso. Definitely I would recommend her anytime and count with her whenever we need that extra help! Thank you so much Almendra! 🫶🏾🐾🫶🏾”
“Melissa was so great, we just can’t say enough about her. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and messages but the best part is that we came home to happy pets and a clean house. It’s as if we didn’t even leave. We feel so thankful to have someone that we trust and can count on in the future. Thanks, Melissa!”
“I will definitely book Andressa again. We chose a sitter at the very last moment before we left out of town and she was very accommodating. She made us feel at ease with updates and pictures of our doggies at play and rest. Thank you very much Andressa for taking care of our babies and being such a great person overall.”
“Tracy was our dog and house sitter during a recent vacation out of the country, and she did a fantastic job taking care of everything. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our dog, exercise summaries of walks that she had taken our dog on, and even took our pet to the vet to get his shots. Tracy was extremely communicative, responsive, trustworthy, and reliable, which gave us a peace of mind while we were vacationing. I would definitely trust my pet and house to Tracy to take care of again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for similar services.”
About: I have over two years of hands-on pet-sitting experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have professional experience working at a dog boarding and lodging facility, where I provided daily care, supervised play, maintained clean and safe spaces, and made sure every pet received patience, attention, and individualized care. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! My schedule is pretty open and flexible, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-sitting needs! I’m happy to work with different schedules and do my best to be available when you need someone you can count on. Whether you need regular visits, occasional care, or help while you’re away, I’m flexible and willing to work arou When caring for your pets in their home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their routines, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of your space, keep things clean and organized, and make sure everything is just as you left it.
About: I have been around animals for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and keep their pets company while they’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m an active person who genuinely enjoys long walks, outdoor time, and interactive play, but I’m just as happy keeping a senior dog company or giving an anxious pet the patience and space they need. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide pets with plenty of attention instead of just stopping in for the basics. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I know consistency is important for animals, and I’ll do my best to keep their day feeling as normal as it does when you’re home. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, exercise, crate training, or household rules. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can recognize when they need play, rest, water, or a little extra reassurance. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits. You can relax knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I’d give my own.
About: I am a college athlete that loves to run around and play with dogs. I raised 2 puppies and a kitten last year and now I love them more than anything in the world. I have 6 years of experience watching dogs and I can’t wait to meet more. I am flexible around any of your dog’s needs and I will make sure to give them the love and affection every dog deserves. I offer grooming and other services if you ask! I can also take your little loved one to the dog park if recommended. I can’t wait to meet you and your dogs. You will not have to worry about anything when they are in my care. See you soon! -Andrew R. -Marley R.

Symone was truly amazing! She was very professional at our meet & greet and asked such great questions that focused on both our dogs' comfort as well as ours. She was very communicative while house-sitting, sending us videos of how the dogs were doing while we were gone, letting us know when she would be gone from the house, etc. I would rebook Symone in a heartbeat, very trustworthy, great attentiveness to details, and put our mind at ease with the gentle care she gave our two babies!
Oh my goodness! She was the best. Our Ellie can be a bit of an early bird and she loved on her, sent pictures, took her on walks and it is clear she loves animals. She communicated with me regularly and gave me updates on how our baby was doing. Highly recommend!!
Kelly & Casp3r always have fun on their adventures when I am out of town! I come home to a clean house & a very happy pup, but most importantly I do not have to worry while I am away… I recommend Kelly to anyone wanting dependable Pet & Property Care, especially to ALL my Family & Friends!!! 🐾
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bedford is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 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.

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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
