“Daniela was amazing! Sent us many photos and videos of our dog and he was well taken care of. Worth the money 100%. Don’t hesitate letting her take care of your dog. 💜”
“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of our high energy pup Tucker! He came home happy and was tired which is unusual for him! We were happy to have her watching him for a weekend getaway and will use her services again in the future as needed.”
“Eliza has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. She has watched my dog multiple times and has had her over for playtime with her own dogs. Eliza genuinely loves animals, and my dog is always excited to see her. She is reliable, caring, and communicates well, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever my dog is with her. I always know my dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection in a safe environment. I highly recommend Eliza to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
About: My name is Sophia! I am 27 and I have been around animals most of my life. I always try to understand any animal and pet. Making sure to get to their level and accommodate them in any way I can. I currently have one doggie, one cat, and a fish. They are all super sweet. I train my dog often at home and the public parks. She loves cats and other doggies. My cat keeps to herself and she will often follow us on walks with our doggie. We take walks daily around the neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard and live in a duplex. Always feel free to message with any questions! 🐶🐱🐾 I work in the medford school district. I work monday thru friday 7am to 2pm and I am off weekends. I have a boyfriend who works later shifts, so pets won't be alone until 10am. We have a fenced back yard with a doggie door. My cat and dog let themselves out when they need to. My dog is kennel trained and usually is in her kennel when no one is home, but we leave her out when we aren't gone long. I make sure everyone has water in the morning and evening. We walk our dog around the neighborhood twice daily. One in the morning and one in the evening. I have fenced backyard. I have a doggie door for pets to come in and out. I can also close it off to control access outside. I always leash my dog when going on walks.
“Shari was absolutely wonderful with my elder dog, Charley. And he clearly had an affinity for her. Shari sent check-in pictures and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend. I will definitely call on Shari again for petsitting needs.”
“Kristina really enjoyed having Winston as a guest. She sent updates and pics, and he clearly was fully relaxed and happy in her care. I will use her again, and again, and again!!”
“Thanks for caring for Ruffles while we were away. I know she enjoyed your beautiful yard, and having Daphne for company. Getting a photo every day was very reassuring, especially seeing her sleeping at your feet! We look forward to staying with you in the future!”
“Alicia was fantastic. She was very welcoming and took great care of Mochi and Waffles. They had fun playing with her dog, Zuko too. Will definitely ask her to take care of Mochi and Waffles in the future.”
“Best sitter I’ve had through Rover for our beloved Rottie, who is the family’s fur baby! She provided updates and pictures throughout our vacay which we absolutely loved! Excellent communication & she treated our Rottie as if it were her own.”
“Charli was amazing with my dog! Super responsive, answered all my questions, and made sure every one of my dog's needs were met. I would definitely book again and highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog sitter who treats every dog like part of the family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Weekends are my best days to provide the most care. I do work a part time job and will be able get back to your pup in the afternoon. I like to do walks in the morning before work and if they are dogs that like a good walk id like to bring them. I have a large fenced home where your dog can run, play and even dip in a kiddie doggy pool. I do have 2 dogs at home that are extremely friendly and would love to have play dates.
“Kristen and Estevan were so wonderful with our dog Webster. It was a longer stay (10 days) and he is a very active dog, but it was more like a doggy spring break than a simple boarding experience. Lot's of fetch, lots of cuddles, lots of pond swimming and enjoying their beautiful property. I got regular of photos of a very happy dog, 10/10 would use them again!”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for pets through pet sitting for multiple clients as well as family & friends. I’ve looked after both dogs and cats, and my responsibilities have included feeding, going on walks, administering medication, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also cared for my senior dog until she passed away at 15. As she got older, she required a great deal of attention, patience, and hands-on care. That experience taught me how important it is to be gentle, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently a graduate student in an online program, which gives me a flexible and open schedule. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. I may also be available for evening care when our schedules align. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I give pets plenty of loving attention and aim to adapt to their needs & differences. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I always respect their boundaries and give them the time and space they need to feel safe. My goal is to create a warm, calm, and comfortable environment where each pet can relax and be themselves. I also love keeping pets active and engaged through games of fetch, playtime, and nature walks. I’ve found that many dogs especially enjoy being outdoors, exploring, and getting plenty of time to release their energy and have fun.
“Lisa has an excellent space for our two energetic retrievers. They were safe and well cared for. Her knowledge and expertise with caring for animals was very valuable. She is very “ in tune” to their feelings and ensures they are comfortable and happy.”

Serena and her family were so sweet and helpful with caring for our fluff. I'm recommending she hook up with the local Inn we stayed at so that guests could have an option to leave their pets with Serena when they attend the Brit shows or perhaps go wine tasting during the day.
Serena was very easy to work with when we needed a quick 24H stay for our pup Eli. She was always prompt to respond prior to the boarding time and we got updates during his stay. She made us feel comfortable that our sweet boy would be well loved and cared for with her family. Would definitely use her again!
Patricia is an amazing sitter. I came from WA, drove to Medford, then had to board my dog Blue while I flew to Phoenix, AZ and drove back to Medford with my Dad. Many things went wrong on the trip, but not once did I have to worry about Blue at all. Patricia sent me pictures and updates to let me know he was doing okay, but even without those, I knew she would take good care of him. You could tell she loved animals and was responsible. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she brought me. Thank you again Patricia!
