“I will never go to another sitter, ever! She takes care of my cat who is an absolute terror to people, and Ethel is bery kind to her. She goes above and beyond every time I have her!”
“She helped me out of a last minute jam! Spent time with my pup. Was prompt and took good care of my little guy. I would definitely rebook with her. She played with him and gave him lots of needed attention”
“Another fantastic visit by Tara! She always gives Jim so much attention, and in ways he enjoys: brushing, petting, etc. I’m very grateful she helps us out when the need arises.”
“We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!”
“Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.
“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs, and finally welcomed my own pup, Leia, into my life five years ago. Since then, I’ve handled all of her training, walks, feeding schedule, etc., myself. I learned a lot from years of watching "It’s Me or the Dog," and put what I've learned into practice with my dog, Leia. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for dogs, hands‑on training experience, and a calm, reliable presence. I’m excited to meet your pup and give them a walk they’ll remember; one that’s safe, stimulating, and tailored to their personality. I am a college student at DePaul University, majoring in Finance and Criminology. I commute on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am free to walk your furry friend any day that isn't Tuesday or Thursday :) I have one energetic five-year-old Wheaton terrier whom I have trained by myself. I walk her at least once a day, feed her, play with her, and train her when time allows. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established rules and routines to ensure your dog feels comfortable and stress‑free. I pay close attention to safety — from securely leashing during walks to double‑checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions. My goal is to treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing safe and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like family and follow their routine closely. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your needs. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their safety, behavior, and comfort, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I specialize in anxious dogs as well.
“Highly communicative and willing to drop by for a meet & greet with our dogs before the sitting date. She’s great to work with and we look forward to having her dog sit again.”
About: We’ve had three pets in our home since we were kids and throughout adulthood - two dogs and a cat. I love animals and would love to earn a little extra money by walking, playing, and watching over them! I’m currently looking for work (ex-programmer), so I’m doing Rover and other gig work while searching. So I’m free all the time for your pet needs! I’ll follow any instructions you leave on how you’d like me to care for your fur babies. I can track walks we go on, take photos/video, update you, whatever you need!
“Desiree is reliable, kind, and amazing with dogs! We are so lucky to have found her! She administered sub q fluids to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. That wasn’t an easy task and she was one of the few who could do it. We can’t thank Desiree enough for her help while we were away!”
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was born. I have always loved caring for and interacting with dogs. I do not have my own dog currently, but would love to help care for others! I am currently substitute teaching at an elementary school, so there may be weekdays I am unavailable. I am currently not working full time, so I will be available to walk your dog(s) throughout the week! I am open to walking as far as needed for your pup. I have experience safely walking more energized dogs, so your dog will be in good hands! I have also walked up to 3 dogs at a time (various sizes) if you have more than one that needs to be walked a time.
About: Hi! 🐾 I'm a graduate student with a genuine love for dogs, and being a dog sitter is something I truly enjoy! Whether you need dog walking, dog sitting, or boarding, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, attention, and plenty of love. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and favorite things. I'm always thinking about the dogs in my care and finding little ways to make their time with me extra special! 🐶 **What makes my care special?** - **Daily updates:** You'll receive updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected to your pup while you're away. - **Personalized report cards:** I love sharing how your dog's day went, including their activities, fun moments, and how they're doing. - **TikTok-style videos:** I enjoy making fun, memorable videos of the dogs I care for so you have something special to look back on! - **Holiday surprises:** For my returning clients, I love giving holiday gift bags and special treats for their pups as a little thank-you for trusting me. - **Birthday celebrations:** If I know your dog's birthday, you can bet I'll be thinking of ways to make their day extra special! 🎂🐾 I understand that your dog is family, and trusting someone to care for them is a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is receiving loving, respectful, and attentive care. My goal is for your dog to look forward to spending time with me just as much as I look forward to spending time with them! I'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐶 I currently am free most of the week. I love to take care of animals, so please feel free to contact me regarding any questions. When taking care of your pet I will make sure to ask questions regarding any secret hide outs your pet might like to hide in or what their favorite toy is to keep them company.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bedford Park
I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about our experience! We have three Cane Corsos, and while we absolutely adore them, we know they aren't exactly the easiest bunch to care for! 😂 From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She sent us photos and updates every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every possible way and completely exceeded our expectations. It was so clear that our dogs were being treated with genuine love, patience, and care. There is something truly priceless about being able to enjoy your time away knowing your dogs are in the absolute best hands, and that is exactly how we felt. We came home feeling incredibly grateful to have found someone we can trust with our three big babies! If you're lucky enough to book her, DO IT! We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend her a thousand times over. ❤️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bedford Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bedford Park is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 12,416 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bedford Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Park. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
