“Rebecca communicated well before we met and throughout the weekend, as well as provided adorable photos and updates during her visits. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Lisa took INCREDIBLE care of my little boy. He is painfully shy around people he doesn’t know, but Lisa made an effort every single visit to sit on the couch for 30 minutes—even though he wouldn’t come out—just so he could get used to her smell, talk with him so he got used to her voice, and make sure every treat and sprinkle of catnip was placed just right! I felt complete peace and reassurance leaving him with her. She treated him like he was her own kitty. I couldn’t be more grateful! If you’re looking for a caring, dedicated provider, book with Lisa!! She’s amazing.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly love. While I’m not able to have pets of my own right now, I’d love the opportunity to give that same love and attention to your pets! I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and plenty of companionship when I’m available. I’m also happy to care for pets on weekends when I’m around. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and breaks for walks or potty time. I’m also available on weekends when I’m around and happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. Since I’m currently unable to have pets of my own, I’m excited to use my flexible schedule to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! Unfortunately, I’m not able to have pets in my own home due to not having a yard and living with people who have severe pet allergies. I don’t have any pet allergies myself, though, and I’m more than happy to travel to your home to provide care wherever your pets are most comfortable!
“Angela was communicative and very patient with Kiba. In the short time that we had Angela watch him, he began to open up and show more of his personality. We would definitely have her come take of him again :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to seniors, including helping with the birthing process and caring for litters. My family and I have also fostered many puppies and rescue dogs through Great Dog Rescue New England. I’m a recent college graduate with a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for recurring bookings, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll care for every pet like they’re one of my own!!! I work a hybrid schedule in Boston and live in Chelmsford, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for recurring bookings, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with you to fit your pet’s normal routine! That's most important! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and needs, and will always treat your pets like my own!
“Caitlin took amazing care of my cat! She is very reliable and responsive in her communications and always makes sure to send plenty of pet pictures. I always come home to a happy cat thanks to Caitlin!”
“Daphne was great! She was super responsive, on time and reliable. She took really good care of Harley and Harley had so much fun getting a nice walk and extra attention. Would definitely book with Daphne again!”
“Ashley was fantastic with my kitty! She wrote thorough updates and sent me lots of great pictures, and I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for kitty. I will happily book her again!”
About: I’m so excited to start meeting new pups. Although I've never had a dog of my own, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs whether that be family or friends. I love taking dogs on walks and getting to know their personalities. I enjoy giving treats for tricks and love giving all the puppy love. I’m currently in college online so doing this will help a lot with my student loans!! It’s summer so I have lots of free time but even come the fall I’m doing school online which also gives me lots of down time. I live by a park that was just rebuilt and it has an amazing walking trail and a dog park. I am great with handling dogs and love to give treats for tricks!
“Julia was fantastic- we really loved her watching our two cats! It was important to us that they have play time and attention while we were away, and they clearly loved her.”
About: I am a Certified Dog Trainer (Catch Canine Trainers Academy), and I have a first aid for pets certification. If you want to entrust your dog to a compassionate professional, I'm your guy. I am a dog trainer, and pet parent, and I have some extra availability for dog walking. If you live near me I can fit you into my schedule. As a dog trainer, I am very experienced in pet care. I train dogs in all my interactions with them, out of habit, but also because I wan't them to have happy lives.
“Ileanna has put my mind at ease by coming to spend time with our pup before pet sitting in our home. Our pup is still learning to build confidence with new people, and she warmed up to Illeanna quickly.”
“Sara did such a great job with my Lucy Cat! She spent quality time with her each day I was gone and kept her litter boxes clean. She also played with her and got Lucy to warm up to her and cuddle a little bit. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. My family has had 4 dogs (Australian shepherds!) and my current dog is special needs and requires more intense care. I have a special love for dogs, and memorized all the breeds when I was 8 years old! I will care for your dog as if it was my own, and im always happy to help you and your pup! I work remotely (one day in office) and live in Medford ma. My lease doesn’t allow for dogs, but I LOVE them so much. I am able to pop over for a quick walk during the day, or work from your home. I could go over any time after 5 for a longer walk during the week, and weekends I am available (if I have no plans prior) I like to be cautious with pets that I watch, keeping them on leash and being careful about open doors. I’ve watched some dogs who can’t be trusted off leash, and unless there is a fully fenced in yard I keep extra close attention. I love to spend time with pooches and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be, because I know dogs get sad when their owners are gone!
“We recently rebooked with Michelle to take of our cats while we were away. She continues to be a trusted sitter for our cats who can be a bit shy. We wholeheartedly recommend booking with Michelle for your cat sitting needs.”
“Kristen took fantastic care of our kitty while we were out of town. We very much appreciated Kristen's reliability, attention to detail, and above all, the many pictures that she sent of our baby :) Thank you so much!”

Julia is the best!!! She's been doing drop in visits with my dog for the past year while I've been at the office and is so communicative and reliable. Willow can be a little anxious about going outside but Julia handled it wonderfully and took such good care of her, giving her a bathroom break, food, medicine, and lots of cuddles and sending me lots of cute pics. Would use Julia forever if we weren't moving out of state. Can't recommend her enough!
I couldn’t be happier with Nathan as our puppy sitter! He took such wonderful care of our puppy and gave him so much attention and patience. It was clear that he genuinely cared about him. Nathan was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout his sessions, which gave me complete peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone to trust with my puppy and would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and wonderful pet sitter or dog walker.
Monica has been so terrific watching Willow while we are at work. Willow was recovering from an Injury and Monica adapted wonderfully to assist her as needed. and Monica’s positive attitude, flexibility, and frequent updates make her one of our favorite pet-sitters ever! Strongly recommend!
We were so grateful that Kerry took such great care of our dog while we were away--her sensitive and thoughtful approach won his trust, and her detailed and quietly humorous reports and many photos made us feel almost as if we had been present. Thank you, Kerry--we very much hope to work with you again!
Kelly took great care of Mochi while we were away. I really liked that she followed up with me for detailed instructions before starting the visit. She was on time for her visits and sent amazing photos of Mochi. Mochi gets anxious when we are away, Kelly did a great job keeping him calm, taking him for walks and kept the house clean. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a pet sitter who deeply cares about your pet while you’re away.
We had a wonderful experience with Jolene! She responded to messages quickly, was reliable and responsible, and took such great care of Maggie and Lucy. It was clear she genuinely loves dogs, and they felt comfortable and well cared for with her. We would absolutely trust her to watch Maggie and Lucy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Medford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Medford 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Medford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
