“Hannah was amazing house sitting for us! She followed all of our instructions. I have a very old Chihuahua and she kept a close eye and did all her specific arrangements. She also took our bigger Pitbull out to play and walk outside so he could get some energy out. She left everything pristine at our home. There was a mishap with our apartment complex's parking and she handled it so graciously and understanding; I was very grateful for her patience and initiative in getting it sorted out while we were so far away.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter! We were gone for 4 days and she continuously sent us updates and pictures! When we came home the dogs were so happy to see us and the house was just as we left it. We will definitely be using her again for our doggies because they absolutely LOVED her!”
“Claudia was wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found you and to know Oliver was cared for with such love and security while we were away. Your consistent communication and the photos helped us feel completely at ease. Claudia is truly a rock star! Highly recommended!”
“Kaylan was a delight and Tibby responded to her very well. She was prompt and took good care with meds, food, walking and keeping my senior fragile pup safe and clean. Thanks Kaylan!”
“Aundrea did an incredible job with our Willow girl!!! It was extremely hard leaving her for a few days but after Aundrea gave me daily updates and photos you could tell she was in the best hands. I can’t wait to have Aundrea over again! Highly recommend!”
About: I stand out because I care for pets the way I care for people — with gentleness, consistency, and a whole lot of love. I’m comfortable with puppies who need training, seniors who need slower days, and pets with unique personalities or quirks. I create a calm, home‑like environment and give each pet the kind of attention that helps them feel secure and happy. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily rhythm. I start and end my day with walks, check‑ins, and playtime, and I build my weekly schedule around giving pets consistent attention and structure. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddle time, caring for animals fits seamlessly into how I plan my days. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have cozy resting spots, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime and affection. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their established routines so their pet feels completely at ease. I pay close attention to their comfort, energy level, and personality so I can give them care that feels familiar and reassuring.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 20 years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. As a dog Dad to three miniature dachshunds, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone they trust, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and small breeds, including reinforcing basic training, maintaining consistent routines, and providing extra patience and attention for older pets. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions, administer routine oral medications, and accommodate special feeding schedules. Whether you’re a first-time owner or multi-pet family, trusting your animal(s) with someone new can feel overwhelming. I’ll always keep you informed with regular photo/video updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal as a pet caregiver is simple: to treat every dog like one of my own through patience, care and compassion. Work for home in H.E.B Available M-F & most weekends for walks, check ins and sitting. flexible for same day bookings with 1hr notice. Whether young or old, big or small, I treat every pet as if it were my own to ensure you have peace of mind whenever away.
“J was terrific with our dog, Jackie. They took excellent care of her and sent regular updates and photos. We were so happy to have them stay in our home and not have to board our dog.”
“Chanel stayed at our house and watched our two senior dogs for 10 days. She was wonderful with keeping them on their schedule and giving them their medications. She sent photos and updates frequently which I really appreciated. The dogs loved her and I think it was the most relaxed we have been leaving them with someone else while we went out of town. Our home was also well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Chanel!”
“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!”
“Ann was a great sitter! She took great care of Mase and sent frequent updates and photos so we could rest assured he was happy and well taken care of. And our house was spotless when we got home. Would definitely book Ann again! Thank you!! 🐾🐾”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals for many years. I took specific courses in high school on how to care for a wide range of animals. I also worked at a pet boarding center taking care of both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own and would want someone who loves them like I do. I love all animals no matter the size, amount of hair, or amount of limbs! I’m currently working part time with a fluctuating schedule so in my free time I would love to help out those who need some extra attention for their furry friends, or not so furry. I have pet sit in my neighbors and friends houses all my life. Whatever is needed of me I can workout with owners to make them as comfortable as possible. Pets are incredibly important to all of us so making owners and pets comfortable is the top priority.
“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👍🏻👍🏻”
“Briggite was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of Ribs and Gon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was reliable, communicative, caring, and clearly loves animals. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands while we were away. Ribs and Gon were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely trust Briggite again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Briggite—you were the best!”
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!
“Lee Ann provided outstanding services caring for our dogs. She was very supportive of our needs and maintained continuous contact with us while we were gone. We were very comfortable with her caring for our pets and home.”
“Ambar is absolutely the best! Sammy and Winston love her and she did an amazing job caring for them. They can be a little demanding at times and she handled them perfectly. She gave us great updates and pics and we were at ease the whole time we were on vacation. It is so nice to be on vacation and not stress about the dogs back home. Thank you Ambar!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job house and pet sitting our three dogs and cat. She is attentive, reliable and sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend hiring Amanda to look after your home and pet children!!”

Sandra pet-sat my puppy for 2 weeks while I was on vacation. She was attentive and reliable, and kept me updated with pictures and messages the whole time. From the photos, I could see my pup was relaxed and calm. When I came back my dog was happy and in good shape. Sandra always responded to my messages and took good care of my puppy.
Amy was a wonderful sitter! We were gone for 4 days and she continuously sent us updates and pictures! When we came home the dogs were so happy to see us and the house was just as we left it. We will definitely be using her again for our doggies because they absolutely LOVED her!
We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! Claudia stayed at our home all weekend and took wonderful care of our pups. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy at home and being so well cared for. She kept us updated, treated our home with respect, and gave our dogs plenty of love and attention. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bedford on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,094 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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
