Sasha is great! She took amazing care of our two kitties while we were away for almost two weeks. Communication was excellent; she sent little updates and pictures every day. Thank you, Sasha!

Thank you so much for being able to watch my floofs on short notice! It’s always so comforting to know they’re being watched by someone who really cares about them. Appreciate you!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

My dog, Rosie, LOVED Tira! Rosie can be pretty tricky: she's not the easiest to walk because she doesn't like other dogs and likes rabbits/squirrels a bit too much, but Tira put me at ease right away. Tira clearly has had years of experience with dogs; she knew exactly how to handle Rosie to keep her safe and happy. Will definitely be booking with Tira again soon!

Matilde was so great, my favorite sitter I've had on Rover so far, and she really made me feel like my cat was taken care of. She went above and beyond to make my cat feel minimal disruptions to my absence, and was so sweet about sending pictures and updating me on my cat's behaviors. Definitely gonna be my new go-to sitter in the area

Bonnie was amazing! She came by for a meet and greet before we booked and asked so many thoughtful questions. While we were gone she sent detailed updates and lots of pics, and our cats seemed to really like her. She also went above and beyond, offering to do things we hadn’t even asked her to do just to help out. Our power also unexpectedly went out during our trip and she handled that situation very well and kept us reassured that our cats were fine. I will definitely book again and recommend her to anybody!

Monica was amazing with our two cats while we were away! She sent the best pictures and wrote detailed updates every time she visited them. Her report cards were such perfect pictures into their usual behavior, they not had us laughing at their antics but also feeling very sure that they were happy and comfortable in her care!

Anneliese was a great sitter who was able to jump in after I found her with minimal notice. She was communicative about the visits and she was prompt with her timing. She did a great job with the pets, administering medicine for one of the cats and doing the food and litter box as needed. She sent photos and the cats seemed to love her! Would definitely connect with Anneliese for any subsequent pet care needs. Thanks again!

Nathan is the best. He has been so great with Lavender. She loves him and he takes her to meet and play with other dogs. She loves that and we’re so new to the area, we haven’t found her some dog friends yet. It is great because I worry less about leaving her when I have to travel and am more excited for the things he will take her to do. I highly recommend Nathan to other pet owners. Thank you, Nathan!

Emma was great to work with and cared for our cat as if she was her own while we were away for a few days. She was super flexible when we asked to change one of the drop-in times, so it was nice to know that my cat was able to stick to a good meal schedule. Will gladly have Emma cat-sit for us again!

Shawn dropped in to take care of our two cats multiple days during our long vacation. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands and getting photos each day. She followed our detailed feeding instructions that involved wet food with medication mixed in, and measuring out dry food on a scale. She also gave us detailed updates on their behavior and it was clear she really cared about their comfort and mood while we were gone. Thank you Shawn, would definitely book again!

Yuting was super easy to communicate with and extremely prompt on her reply (especially with myself needing the check-in about 40 minutes ahead of schedule). On top of that, I had complete peace of mind that she was the one checking in on my old man (cat), especially after reading her profile and a brief chat with her. Extremely happy she had availability for me, and definitely will be booking again!

Lisa is *incredible*!! This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous about it, but I didn't need to be. Lisa took wonderful care of my Figaro. During the meet and greet, she took notes and asked great questions, and my usually shy Figaro took to her right away. During my trip, Lisa's updates were detailed and she followed Fig's dietary instructions to the letter; she also took lots of photos. I'm incredibly grateful for all the care she took in taking care of my little baby. I will absolutely be booking her again!!

When I arrived home my cats were happy and showed no signs of anxiety after me being away on a trip. My cats were in good hands and I would recommend Amanda to others!

She sent daily updates and photos, was always quick to respond, and it was so obvious my cat loved her (every picture was of them cuddling on the couch together).

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Medford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Medford on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 4,843 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
