About: I have spent my life with cats, dogs, and a host of farm animals and know just how individual each pet can be! I am well-versed in senior pet care, medication administration, walks of any length, and am happy to follow whatever routine is most comfortable for your pets! I work full time during the week, but I am available on weekends, evenings, and will post for all-day availability every other Friday. I can work around any times during those dates I have available! I always aim to for seamlessly into your pets routine, whatever that looks like! I will follow any plans you have in place to keep your pets comfortable and safe.
“I had an amazing experience with my dog and pig sitter, Eliza, who stayed at my home for over a week. She took exceptional care of both my dog and pig, and I came home to animals that were clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved. Eliza made sure both animals received their medicine (rolling with the punches because Buddy got an infection right before we left so it was an added responsibility she took on in stride) Eliza was incredibly thoughtful and sent regular photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that my pets were getting real attention, not just basic care. She was also very communicative and responsive whenever I had questions, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. My dog Buddy clearly bonded with her during the stay, he actually seemed a little sad when Eliza left, buddy went to the room she stayed in when we got home from our trip 😂 before sleeping where he usually. Highly recommend I would trust Eliza again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Friends, family, neighbors, and local families have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their dogs while they’re away. I genuinely love being around dogs and strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or relaxing companionship, I’ll provide attentive and dependable care tailored to their needs. As a recent college graduate, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care throughout the week and on weekends. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your dog is receiving the same love and attention they get at home.
“Jeff was so kind and took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. Our girls can be very timid and they warmed up to him no problem. He came over and met with us on short notice, and was very professional. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again!!”
“Brenda and her family were wonderful! Melon had a BALL at their house and was so well cared for. Brenda has been so kind, communicative, and considerate! We are lucky to have found Brenda and Melon is already booked to go back there again! ❤️”
“Audrey took great care of my dog, spent time playing with her, and made sure she got outside and exercised. She was also able to accommodate a same-day request when I was in a pinch, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, a positive experience.”
“Donna did a great job for us while we were out of town. She provided great care for our dog and house while sitting for us. Our dog immediately warmed up to Donna and accepted her as part of her pack. Donna conducted timely walks with our dog and provided daily feedback on what was happening.”
“We love Kyla and so does Melon! Kyla has become our go-to sitter, taking pristine care of our pup, our home, and our fish. She is so clean, respectful, communicative, and sweet! We will (of course) be booking Kyla again for our next trip!”
“Tricia was great with our cats! She sent daily updates and pics which helped us be away from the kitties as this was the first time we have used a service. Highly recommend!!”
“Becki is terrific. I'd book her again in a heartbeat. I hesitate to say that because I want her all to myself, but we need to share the best! Great with my dog, communicative, intelligent.”
“Thanks for being so good to Mocha while I was away! The pictures and updates were so appreciated and I could tell mocha was really happy and well cared for the entire week, thank you!!”
“Jenie is a rock star! She took phenomenal care of our sheltie Pepper. Super communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She cared for Pepper for eight days and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Jenie has our highest recommendations.”
“Anna was wonderful with our big, active, mixed breed lovebug, Luna. She sent photos all the time, and Luna looked relaxed and happy in every one of them. She was so kind and communicated so well. We are so grateful to have found her and hope to use her again for house sitting!”
“Salina was amazing! She watched my highly dramatic Frenchie, Sassy Cat and my little old lady Cat for nine days. I could not be more thankful for the care that she gave them. She was excellent at communicating. She made me feel comfortable, knowing that while I was away, everyone was being taken care of. When we got home, I had three happy animals and my house was immaculate.”
About: I have always loved dogs and even have a dog of my own. I am extremely patient and consider myself to be kind. I work as a kindergarten teacher so I am used to taking care of things and tending to their needs. As a kindergarten teacher, I have lots of free time on weekends and school breaks, and I figured the best use of my time would be to do something I already enjoy doing and also help other people out as well. Since I already own a dog of my own I am very conscientious of what dogs can or cannot do, eat, or be near. I try to play with them as much as possible and be friendly with them so they feel comfortable around new people.
“Mariah was amazing! She is incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with and you can tell she really loves dogs. My dogs were in great hands. We got a lot of pictures throughout the stay. We already have her rebooked! Definitely recommend.”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our cat, Sasha! She was on time for the meet and greet and cat sitting start date. She sent lots of photos of Sasha and updates on her eating and litter habits. Sasha sometimes gets lonely when we leave on vacation and has not eaten in the past but ate and played fine and seemed very comfortable with Samantha. Would definitely recommend Samantha for cat/dog sitting!”
“Caroline was available last minute to stay overnight with our two golden retrievers! She took amazing care of them and our home as well! We would absolutely trust her to watch them again in the future!”

Sam did a great job looking after our kitties while we were away for the weekend. She's been so great for drop-ins, but this is the first time we've ever had someone stay overnight with them. One of our kitties is particularly attached to us and gets anxious when he's alone, even with his sister around, so Sam made him feel more comfortable and confident while we were away. She had great communication and made sure to send over photos each day. We would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medfield on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,964 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medfield. 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 Medfield 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 Medfield 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 Medfield 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 Medfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
