Carsyn has such a heart for animals. From the moment I met her I knew she would treat my baby boy with the same love and care I do. My puppy took right to her. I can say she is a blessing as I dont just trust anyone with my boy.

About: Hi there! My name is Jenny! I love all the furbabies and would love to lend a hand. I'm local to bedford and have plenty of experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies to senior care. I recently cared from my dog at the end of her life and have experience providing comfort and care to senior dogs. I also have experience with puppies and assistance with training! I trained my dog who was deaf!! I work independently as a cleaner and caregiver in the Bedford area. I have an extremely flexible schedule and would love to lend a hand with your pet care. Im very active and would love to find clinets who need dog walking services or companionship throughout the day. I could typically spend 1 to 2 hours with your pet any time during the day! As a dog Mom of 12 years I understand how important our pets routines are. I care for all the furbabies just as the owners would providing the same care and routines so your pet can feel comfortable

Mia was amazing. She is very professional and kept me updated throughout the time I was gone. She wanted to know everything about Loki and took notes to be on top of things over the weekend I had her dog sit. I strongly suggest first-time customers book with her if you want a completely stress free booking. I will 100% go with Mia the next time I need a dog sitter, knowing not only I, but my dog Loki, will have a pleasant experience.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years, and I truly treat every animal like they’re my own. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks because I know every animal is different. I’m currently enrolled in the online program at CVCC, where I’m majoring in Criminal Justice. Since my classes are online, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with others to accommodate their needs. I’m dependable, adaptable, and willing to work with your schedule to ensure everyone’s needs are met. I always try to keep things as normal as possible for your pet while you’re away. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to. I also give them lots of attention and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. When I’m caring for them in their home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and taken care of. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them happiest and most comfortable.

About: I am a caring and dependable pet sitter who has always loved animals. I have my own dog who I love and care for very much, so I understand how important pets are to their families. I also previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained experience feeding, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I take care of my own dog and cat at home. Every day I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get the attention they need. I also walk my dog and spend time playing with both of them so they stay active and happy. Because I’m used to doing this regularly, taking care of other pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owner is away. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any other needs the pet may have. I also give pets attention and patience so they feel calm and cared for. When caring for a client’s home, I treat it with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure everything is left the way I found it. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.

I'm so happy we chose Abigail to watch our cat while we were away. My cat is pretty independent but still needs daily attention, and Abigail was great with her! She gave my cat space until she was ready for affection, and she followed all of my directions for food and medicine and followed up with a report and photos. Abigail took great care of my cat and helped me relax on vacation. I highly recommend Abigail and would work with her again!

About: I love animals and grew up with animals. I have a dog, have worked and currently work with dogs, and have taken care of dogs before. I'm usually working at least 4-5 days a week, mostly from 2-7pm and most weekends. But I can help out during the weekdays before 2 and sometimes after 7. I also go to college 2 days a week during the morning and usually leave around 12:30pm. I have a dog and shes has always been an outside dog.

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

About: I’ve always grew up around dogs of all sizes (especially the large ones) and always have a heart for our furry friends. I take care of the dogs in our neighbor and when someone needs just to check up on the pup I’m usually the one to do it! There has never been a time where I haven’t lived with a dog so I’ve had many years of experience with dogs! I’m currently a college student and would love to spend my free time looking and caring after dogs for the ones who need an extra hand! I offer the drop in care and walks because I prefer getting to know the dogs in their own environment first before bringing them into a new one!

About: Hi, I’m the proud pet auntie to all my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who trusts me with their furry family members! 🐾 I’ve been caring for pets—and even looking after homes—while people are away for nearly 20 years. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and favorite ways to be spoiled. When you’re away, why not let your pets stay comfortable in the place they know best? I offer loving, dependable in-home pet and house care so your pets can stick to their normal routines while you travel, work, or simply need an extra hand. Think of it as having a trusted pet auntie who treats your home and your animals like her own. ❤️🐶🐱 Let me take the worry out of being away so you can enjoy your time knowing your pets are loved, cared for, and getting plenty of attention! I do work full-time with a very flexible schedule. Two days a week I am teaching at a local university in the evenings. With a flexible schedule I can work from home easily to provide more love and care to your loved ones. I cater to the needs of the pet! Whatever their typical routine is, I try to incorporate that while I am providing care for them in their home.

As always I came home to happy and healthy pets. Due to some challenging circumstances in the planning of my trip I had to make a couple of changes to the booking, and she was able to accommodate me and made it so easy. Knowing Alieen is taking care of my pets for me let's me relax more when I am out of town. I am so thankful for her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bedford on Rover is $14.17 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 611 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bedford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bedford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bedford. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
