“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!”
“Yingzi was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats and was incredibly thorough and attentive throughout the entire stay. She left extremely detailed Rover cards after every visit, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She cleaned their food and water bowls and scooped the litter every time, and everything was so clean and orderly when I got home. Most importantly, my cats were happy and clearly very well cared for! I would absolutely recommend Yingzi and would be very happy to book with her again!”
“Isabel was amazing and took great care of our kitty while we were away for 4 days. Great communication and photos! Gave us real piece of mind knowing Ziggy was getting extra attention and well cared for while we were away! Highly recommend!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing with our cats! They seem to adore her & she sent lots of photos. Having her watch them gave us peace of mind while we were traveling!!”
“Lisa took great care of my cat Pippin. She took care of the litter box and water, and spent a lot of time playing with Pippin. And took lots of pictures! Will definitely rebook in future!”
“Emma did an excellent job with my cat Mimsy's drop in visits. Mimsy is a little shy with strangers so it was really nice reading Emma's descriptions on how she was adjusting.”
“Carly took very good care of my cat, made my pet completely comfortable while I was away. Helpful messaging and follow-up. Truly went above and beyond for appointments. Highly recommend!”
“I was super happy with the support we received from Alissa! From the start, she was very responsive and helped answer my questions about the process/next steps. We had her stop by and watch our cat for 30 minutes over 3 days. She was great with our cat and we'd certainly work with her again!”
“Sasha did an absolutely wonderful job with my kitties during my first trip out of town! She was easy to reach and work with, learned each of my pets’ individual needs and personalities, and kept them happy and entertained. She sent tons of cute pics and updates and when one of them had a minor vomit-sesh, she cleaned up no worries and just let me know after. Totally recommend her services!”
“Lorena took great care of my cat while I was away. She shared photos of him and gave me updates via his visit card. She also communicated quickly leading up to the visit. I would book Lorena again!”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 cat babies!! Loved getting the photos from her and knowing they were being taken good care of. Good communicator, very kind person, and loves animals. Would most definitely recommend and will definitely book again! :)”
About: Although I don’t have the most experience, I played a large part in the raising and training of my friend’s dog when he was just a puppy in this past year. I treated him as one of my own, and I will do the same with your pet! I am a full-time PT student looking to earn some money on the side and I am available to play with your pets during my spare time. I usually have classes until 5 pm on weekdays and free on most weekends so my schedule can accommodate! I will always prioritize your pet’s safety and treat them as if they were one of my own. I will take this responsibility very seriously and always model my services based on your instructions.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has become second nature. Over the years I’ve cared for everything from my family’s golden retriever to my Maine coon cat, to bunnies and horses. I’ve also fostered dogs of all ages, from wiggly puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. Those experiences taught me how to adapt quickly, read animal behavior, and respond calmly in any situation. What really sets me apart is the way anxious or shy pets open up to me. Many families have told me, “Don’t be surprised if my dog keeps their distance,” only to come home and find their pup happily curled up at my side. Building that kind of trust — especially with nervous animals — is one of the things I love most about this work. I bring a calm, steady energy that helps pets feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. As a PhD student, most of my days are spent working from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. And I’m happy to work from your home if I’m house sitting! Please note for fall 2026 I will need to go to campus on Mondays and Wednesdays and would be gone for 6-7 hrs those days. On rare occasions when I have a longer day on campus (8 hrs), I will let you know before booking. That way, we can create a plan together to make sure your pet is cared for without interruption. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care you can feel confident about. I treat every pet as if they were my own. At your home, I’ll respect your routines and preferences, making sure pets feel safe and secure in their familiar space. Safety is always my priority — I’ll keep a close eye during walks, follow your instructions carefully, and ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: My name is Jhonatan (but you can call me Jay) and I would love to take care of your best furrriend. I’m a 31 years old Brazilian folk that works with art so I have plenty of free time on my daily basis. I was raised with 4 dogs in Brazil, but unfortunately don’t own one. I have more than 10 years of experience in dog walking, pet sitting and pet boarding. I’m a makeup artist that has a side job as freelancer for selling makeup products but trying to work with pets more after a year of not doing so. I used to dog walk and pet sit by myself but stopped after some health issues (I’m healed now) and I’m trying to do only on Rover. I’ve signed up a few years back and did only one sitting but deleted the app. I know CPR and First Aid for pets so your best friend would be safe in my hands (if any natural incident ever comes to happen). I have experience with bigger (such as Great Dane) and smaller dogs (chihuahua), with elderly and puppies (as well as how to better train their behavior), with aggressive and non aggressive dogs, I’ve split fights before and also know some how to teach your dog to behave and walk better outside with other dogs. I used to work for a dog trainer and have learned some things that could help them. I’m currently working part time free lance for makeup brands and make my own schedule so I’d have plenty of time to spend with your furrriend. If I’m pet sitting I usually would make my schedule in a way that I’d have time to walk the dog a few hours a day, twice or 3 times a day and sleep with them. If dog walking I’d walk them for 30min, if allowed I’d love to bring them to a leashed hike if nearby. I always try to keep myself calm because from all years working with dogs it shows that they feed off people’s energy, I practice yoga and meditation so that way it helps to keep them calm and relaxed. In your home I’d feed and give them water, have them exercise so they spend their energy and they can have a nice sleep. On walks I give them water breaks if too hot and always watch for their behavior.
“Sara was very accommodating with a last minute request and took great care of Luna! She provided thorough updates and pictures as well. Will definitely book with her again!”

Samichya and her husband were fantastic caretakers for my two beagles. They were wonderfully communicative throughout the stay, always quick to respond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I came home to happy pups and a house left in great shape. Highly recommend their care.
We were visiting Boston to see friends in from out of town for the wknd and going to be away from our hotel during the day. Rita took such good care of our golden both days. It gave us peace of mind to see photos of our baby smiling on her outings with Rita and that she was having some fun while we were away. Rita fed her dinner and played with her in the room too. We will definitely reach out to Rita for help again!
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!

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.
