“Elizabeth and Rodrigo took amazing care of our dog while we were away for 6 days. He’s getting older and can be a little anxious, but he was totally comfortable in their home. They sent us tons of photos too, which we loved since we missed him. I’d absolutely recommend them as dog sitters.”

“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.”

Mia sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day which made me feel very reassured AND she even gave my picky eater some chicken when she noticed he wasn't eating his kibble. I highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking with them 😊”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Fernanda. This was my very first time leaving my pup (just shy of 5 months old), and I was nervous he might struggle with separation anxiety. But from the moment I dropped him off, all my worries melted away. She took such amazing care of him, showering him with attention, love, and patience. He absolutely adores her daughter too, which made it even more special. What really gave me peace of mind were the constant updates, photos, videos, and texts that showed just how happy and comfortable he was. Honestly, he was having so much fun I don’t think he even had time to miss me! Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m beyond grateful for the love and care she gave my pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and truly wonderful sitter. We both can’t wait to see her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.

“Sara and Ari took great care of our Nellie while we were away. Nellie can take a while to become comfortable in new situations and also is triggered by certain sounds. They made sure that we got together a couple of times in advance of our vacation to allow Nellie to become familiar with them, their dog Bond, and their house. Communication was excellent and we enjoyed receiving daily updates and adorable photos. Nellie really enjoyed her visit because of all the extra steps they took to help her adjust to her new surroundings while building a relationship. We strongly recommend Sara and Ari as caregivers and we hope to use their services in the future.”

Fernanda took such good care of our pup. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter for multiple days. She did everything to make us feel at ease. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, she took our dog to the dog park to play and she spent plenty of time playing with him at her place too. Our pup had a great time with her, I think he was sad to come back to us 😂 we would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Erin was a wonderful dogsitter for my doodle, Rey! She was very communicative and super flexible, even going out of her way to pick her up and drop her off. And even though they only spent a couple of days together, Rey clearly loved her time with Erin, as she snuggled up to her and didn’t want her to leave. I’ll definitely be booking Erin again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Medford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Medford is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $94 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 October 2026, there are 4,018 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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 , 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 .

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.
