“Jeff did a great job with our cat Gretzky. Gretzky is a 20 year old who has some special care needs and Jeff was able to give the cat medicine, feed him his special diet etc. We will definitely hire Jeff again as he is reliable and a good communicator who really likes cats. Highly recommended.”
“Jasper had another good time hanging out with Boning during our trip. She kept us up to date with daily messages and pics and was reassuring when Jasper had some tummy trouble. We were confident he was in good hands the whole time!”
“Marilyn is a fantastic sitter and considerate homestay. She took great care of my two cats (and my home), and they really liked her based on the numerous pictures she sent where it appeared they were following her around, and not just to the wet food. What's more, Marilyn goes above and beyond. When I left for my trip and Marilyn was to begin residency the following day, my neighbor texted me and showed me that there was a window situation where a cat could escape. Even though her duty started the next day, Marilyn made a special trip to confirm cats were safe, and to fix the window situation. She even washed the bedding and towels I had left her so I wouldn't have to do it when I got home, and she generously allowed my to book two more nights of her care when I wanted to extend my trip. Marilyn is very caring, considerate and flexible. I will definitely be requesting her services again. I recommend her highly as one of the best Rover caretakers I have encountered.”
“After using Rover for the past 6 years with multiple different overnight sitters for our doodle, we had our best experience ever with Lindsay. She is by far the most professional sitter we have ever had. She stayed for four nights, starting relatively early on day 1 and ending relatively late on day 5. We received updates in the mornings and at night along with photos and videos. When we got home, the sheets were washed and the best was made, the house was spotless, and our dog was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Lindsay.”
“Anna was wonderful with our 2 boys, Frank and Eddie. She communicated daily with many pictures which made being away so easy and stress free. It was easy to see from the pictures how happy they were during her stay at our house. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys!”
“I can’t even express how fortunate we are to have found Leland to care for our dogs! We ran into a bit of an emergency and he graciously housesat and cared for our 2 active dogs for an extended weekend with little notice. He kept us updated and reassured throughout the entire time away, sending us pictures and videos which kept our minds at ease knowing they were having a great time. Leland truly connected and bonded with our dogs immediately; he is such a kind and caring person and sitter! It was clear he treated our dogs as his own and we (and our pups) can’t wait for our next visit with him. 🤩”
“I really felt comfortable having Caitlin care for my sweet pup today. She was punctual, attentive and bonded quickly with Oliver. They spent time outdoors, and he got lots of his favorite belly rubs.☺️ I will definitely contact Caitlin again when the need arises.”
“She provided the best service for our dogs! They loved her, and I felt they were safe and cared for while I was away. She regularly checked in with photos and messages. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.
About: I’ve grown up raising and loving family dogs, neighbors dogs, friends dogs, and most importantly, my own dog There’s honestly nothing better than having a great time with a dog and seeing how happy they get. I can’t wait to meet yalls dogs and give them the best time that we have together I work full time in cancer research and get home at 5pm everyday. I would love to have the pleasure of taking care of your dog while you are at work, away, or busy with other things It’s just me in my home and there is plenty of space inside and outside for me and your dog to play, have fun, and rest
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have taken care of all of my dogs since I can remember, but have also dogsitted for other peoples dogs as well. I am very energetic so I love to play, take dogs on walks, and meet to any of their needs! I am currently a full time student at Framingham State University, but I am able to have my car on campus, I have breaks throughout the day and early ending classes, so I am able to be flexible! I am unable to have pets come to my home, as I live in a dorm, but I am fine with an overnight stay on the dates I am available.
About: I have rescued 2 senior dogs in the past and understand their unique needs. One of my senior dogs and others I have cared for struggled with anxiety and required a quiet calm environment. I do work full time but am able to work from home at times or can check in through the day and adjust my schedule as needed. If I was caring for your pet in your home I would strive to maintain the schedule and routines that is most familiar to them. If your pet is in my home, it is a quiet calm environment with a fenced in yard that allows freedom to run and explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks.
“Tatsiana stayed at our place for 3 weeks and took wonderful care of our dog and house. She was in regular communication with us and sent photos. She was so reliable and we highly recommend her! - Mehtap & Toygar”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with our dog! ❤️ She was so loving, caring, and attentive, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She did an amazing job keeping up with his usual routine and schedule, including his meds and she made sure to spend some time playing with him and giving him attention. We really appreciated how regularly she shared updates with us, and we especially loved receiving all the pictures—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our dog was so happy and comfortable with Stephanie! It was clear that he truly enjoyed spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Highly recommended! 🐾❤️”
“Adrian took excellent care of our pup over a long weekend. He sent us plenty of pics and updates throughout, which we really appreciated since this was our first time leaving our doggo. Adrian was super communicative and thoughtful leading up to, during, and after his time petsitting. He made sure Plum got lots of exercise and attention while we were away, and our home looked pristine when we got back. We’ll definitely want to work with Adrian again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great petsitter!”
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.
About: I love animals, but most of all I love dogs. I started volunteering with a rescue in North Carolina, where I walked shelter dogs, mostly bully breeds. I also have several of my own dogs, so I have lots of experience caring for dogs, walking them, and playing with them. I love to play in the backyard with toys and balls, and I also enjoy taking a stroll around the neighborhood. I find that dogs need both physical stimulation, as well as mental stimulation throughout the day. I am not allergic to any types of dogs or cats. I am willing to provide both to the best of my ability. Please rest assured that your dog will be loved as if it were my own, and be in great hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medfield
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Medfield is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $133 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medfield. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
