About: Hello. Everyone calls me Kellss. I recently had to give my dog away so this job is perfect for me as a full time college student and dog lover 😊 as a dog walker I can guarantee that your dog will be worn out from having fun and running around. As a dog sitter I can guarantee the safety of your dog. Being a fellow dog owner I know the means of the proper caretaking that dogs need so there’s no need to worry. My safe clean house will be the perfect place for your dog to get the extra love and fun during your time apart. I can maintain any schedule. Thank you for readying any questions feel free to ask. Enjoy your day
“Melissa was an amazing dog/house sitter while we were away for 5 days. I received so many pictures during our vacation and could tell the pups were being well taken care of. She left our house in pristine condition and sheets in the washer! Will be re booking for any future trips!”

“Aurore took excellent care of our fur babies!! You can tell she has a true passion for animals and strives to give the best care possible. She spent lots of time with them and made sure to take them out plenty. She also had some great recommendations for walking Hermes which can be a bit difficult on the leash and Mango's sensitive tummy. She also left the apartment very clean!! We will definitely be using her again”
“My 2dogs/1 cat were in great hands with Michaela. She sent an update and pictures everytime she visited! Them being at home, going to nearby dog park, and playing really helped with their comfort and happiness. I appreciate her attentiveness and had good peace of mind while away. I will be contacting her again for future bookings.”
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm going this as a side hustle to get a down payment for a house for my husband and myself. I would love to walk your dog and/or love your cat! I love my morning walks and going with a furry friend would make it all the better! I've grown up with dogs and cats in the family for over 20 years of my life. I grew up with a black lab/Australian shepherd mix and a black lab/Chao mix, and have had several other breeds of dogs since then. I've raised many breeds of cats over the years, even some from birth. I've seen several litters being born and have bottle fed runt puppies and kittens back to health. I have always kept them healthy and loved! I am glad to stay in good communication with you to provide all the support you and your furry loved one needs. I go on a daily morning walk as often as I can, so having a furry walking or running buddy would only add joy to the start of my day! I work in the afternoons and evenings so walks will need to be before 12pm. For walking, I can walk or run with your pet for whatever best suites their needs. For home sitting, I can take your furry family member out as often as they need for restroom breaks or walks or just some fresh air.
About: I've had dogs of almost every size, color, and breed. I know the different temperaments and needs for all kinds of dogs. I've done dog boarding, dog walking, and drop in visits for friends and family for 15 years. I've also been a dog owner who needed boarding so I know the provider side as well as the client side so I understand what it's like to entrust your fur baby to someone and will do all in my power to make you feel at ease. After all, they are a precious member of your family! You can count on me to do the job right! I am a stay at home dad with my sweet toddler son. I am home throughout the day and can provide care day or evening. I have a fenced in back yard with no pets in our home currently. It is very spacious in the backyard and there's also enough space in our home for them to explore.
“I couldn't recommend Maura more. She was friendly in our conversations, followed all of our instructions, and provided routine updates with adorable pictures of our pets. She even took the time to clean all of the food bowls, water bowls, and litter boxes so we returned to a home that was cleaner than when we left. Our younger cat, Clover, is very skittish and our senior cat, Fennel, becomes nervous very easily around fast motions and loud noises. Maura respected their behavioral quirks and in less than a week she had Clover sitting right next to her on the couch and Fennel taking cat naps nearby. It's always great to come home after a relaxing vacation to happy pets that greet you warmly at the door. I can guarantee such an experience if you book cat sitting with Maura. I'd give 6 out of 5 stars if I could!”

“Ambar has been an amazing sitter for our Lola. She was very responsive, provided daily updates with pictures, and was fully transparent with how sitting would work with her job. She gave us plenty peace of mind, much more than with other sitters we've booked simply by her communication and commitment to the services. We also noticed our Lola was happy and not stressed from our departure, giving us a clear indication she was in great and loving hands. Although she didn't have to, Ambar also went above and beyond by leaving the house in a tidy, clean, and welcoming home as it was when first arrived. Ambar is fantastic, we will 1000% be reaching out for her services if available. Overall rating is 10 out of 5 if we could. Thank you for watching our pup!!”

Symone was such a great sitter for our dog Willow! she sent us many video updates of her stay and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our dog for the first time since moving to town. she was super sweet and our dog felt comfortable enough to cuddle and watch movies with her! would 100% recommend her and book her again! 🥹
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!!! 🐾
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!

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.

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.
