“Tiffany took SUCH great care of our puppy. We dropped off our very energetic 8 month old with Tiffany for a weekend while we went out of town and we knew our pup was in great hands. This was our first time leaving her with a sitter so we were unsure what to expect. Tiffany made us feel so confident and comfy and sent lots of pics. She clearly knows what she’s doing and truly loves dogs.”
“Aurora took our dog for his first rover experience. She was very communicative and sent pictures of my happy pup. She eased our fears of leaving him with a new family. We'd love to utilize her again if the need arises!”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”
“Emma is amazing with Ollie! He loves going over to stay with her - it’s like a vacation for him too. She sends so many pictures and updates throughout boarding and Ollie got lots of attention and long walks. I couldn’t be happier - thank you Emma!”
“Jo & Adam took great care of Strider during the holidays. They also were able to drop by & pick him up & drop him off, which helped immensely with our travel arrangements. I hope to touch base with them again in the future. Really appreciate the updates during his stay.”
“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”
“Jennifer was amazing and very communicative. Our dog Pepper loved being with her, as she was taken on walks, ball throws and taken care of. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer in the future for our dog care/boarding needs.”
“Svetlana was absolutely amazing watching my dog for 4 days. He is a VERY high energy dog, and I am particular about who I leave him with and I’d recommend her to anyone. She was really wonderful at sending pictures/video updates and keeping in communication with me in a timely manner. Sammy was so tired when I picked him up and I can tell he enjoyed staying with her!”
“Boarding Maggie with Rachel was seamless. She provided us with daily photos and updates. Maggie got plenty of walks and playtime. Overall great experience and will be booking again.”

“Ari and Sara are exceptional dog sitters for our golden retriever, Maisel! Maisel is always excited to see them, showcasing their great bond! My wife and I really appreciate how communicative Ari and Sara are with us; they keep us updated with photos and messages, reflecting their genuine care for Maisel’s well-being. It’s clear that Ari and Sara not only provide excellent care but also create a fun and loving environment for our furry friend! We highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and affectionate pet sitters! 😊”

Oakley had such a great time staying with Nitzan! He was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up. He was well taken care of and they sent me updates throughout his stay! They were so accommodating with pick up/drop off. Oakley would definitely love staying with them again!!
This was our first time using Rover, as Nia (our 2yo Shihtzu) has only ever been left with close family friends so I was definitely a bit nervous! But Ashley and her whole family were so welcoming and really helped Nia feel comfortable right away. Ashley sent regular photo and video updates that put my mind completely at ease—you could tell just by looking at her how happy she was. Ashley’s two dogs were also wonderful, which was huge for us since Nia isn't super socialized yet. She acclimated so fast and had the best time. We’re already looking forward to her next stay with Ashley and her new puppy friends!
Isabelle was so great with Sudo. She sent us ongoing updates and was really attentive to all of his quirks. This is the second time she’s watched over Sudo and he wagged his tail when he saw her and gave her a goodbye kiss when he left. We highly recommend Isabelle and would reach out again when we travel!
This was our first time using River and we hit the jackpot! Elizabeth and Rodrigo and their sweet family are wonderful. So kind and attentive to our dogs. Loved the pictures while our girls were in their care. This was the first time our dogs stayed at someone’s home without us there and they were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up. That speaks volumes to how well they were cared for. We will definitely reach out again in the future.
Rob was great. Was uncertain how my shy-ish new one would do, but Rob arranged a pre-meet that helped ease anxiety on the appointed day. He is clearly a dog guy and relates to them well. Would highly recommend & I intend on availing myself of Rob’s services in the future.
Ashley accepted our last minute request and even did another play date for our dogs before hand. She was very flexible with timing and gave Chimmy a lot of attention, and took him to the park to run and play fetch. She sent amazing photos and videos that were so cute to watch.
Biscuit really enjoyed his time staying with Christian! He was very communicative, sharing a few photos every day. He also made sure Biscuit had a fun and comfortable stay. I would not hesitate booking Christian again for future dog sitting needs. Thank you for treating Biscuit so well!
It was my dogs first time without us and Linda made me feel so comfortable about the whole thing. She’s very thorough in making sure he would be safe during his stay with her. We got updated throughout which also made me feel much better being without him. When we picked him up, I don’t think he wanted to leave! She is the perfect sitter for him. I already scheduled his next sleep over. Couldn’t recommend her more.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Medford is $73 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $98 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,013 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Medford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Medford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Medford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medford. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
You and your Medford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
