“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”
“Ava took great care of Blitzen! He seemed very comfortable with her and she was attentive to all his needs (including giving meds for an ear infection). She was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Andrew stayed for a week+ with our rescue hound mix, Jack, and was awesome—- he sent me 2 photos a day, is very responsive to messages and left us with a clean house and happy dog! Thanks, Andrew.”
“Truly no words for how comfortable I felt leaving my dog with Illeanna. My dog is a senior dog adopted during COVID and is very weary of strangers but Illeanna did a great job making her feel comfortable and sending me updates! Would book with her again!”
“Morgan is the best! I booked her very last minute for a Saturday after my arrangements for someone to watch my dog fell through. She responded immediately and arrived right on time for our appointment. She stayed with my senior Chihuahua mix all day on a Saturday and he loved her. I'm very attuned to my dog's moods and he was definitely in a better mood after spending the day with Morgan. She has a very kind and positive demeanor and the type of good energy that dogs pick up on. You can totally trust her with your fur children. I hope to use Morgan again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Sydney is a fantastic dog sitter! She was responsive and responsible with caring for our dog and our home! We give her our highest recommendation and would absolutely hire her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alice watching our two pugs over the weekend. She was incredibly thorough about learning their routine, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by snuggling them, keeping them on their schedule (not easy in the cold!), and truly treating them like her own. When we returned, our house was spotless—it was like she had never even been there—and she even left us a lovely note detailing her time with the pugs. We couldn’t be happier with her care and would absolutely book Alice again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Ilsa! I have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I work from home full-time, so pets staying with me get lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. My partner, also helps share responsibilities during stays, so your pet will have plenty of care and attention while they’re here. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, administering medications, following specific routines, and helping reinforce training and good habits. I especially enjoy working with dogs on consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement in a calm and patient way. We have a very friendly dog and two cats in our home. Our dog is extremely gentle, submissive, and gets along well with every dog she’s met. Our cats are very dog-savvy and used to being around visiting dogs, which helps create a calm and comfortable environment for everyone. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, so I do my best to make the experience easy, comfortable, and fun for both you and your pet. My goal is to provide a safe, relaxed environment where your pet feels cared for, loved, and right at home. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Between myself and my partner, Brooke, someone is almost always home, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax in a calm environment while you’re away. I have access to a fenced backyard as well as several wonderful parks and walking areas nearby, so there are plenty of safe and fun places for your pup to explore, exercise, and relax. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, crating, medications, training routines, and bedtime habits. I know every pet is different, and I do my best to help them feel comfortable and at home while maintaining consistency with their normal care. Our home is calm, pet-friendly, and well suited for social dogs. We also have a very friendly dog and two dog-savvy cats who are used to being around visiting pets. Safety, supervision, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for are always my top priorities.
“We had Rachael house sit and stay with our dog for a weekend while my husband and I were out of town. Rachael took great care of Pepper and our house was in great shape when we got home! Will definitely book the next time we need a sitter. Thanks Rachael!”
“Kerri is wonderful! We are grateful to have found her. She is very communicative and flexible and our pup took to her right away. She even sent us photos from the visit.”
“Guillermo was excellent! He sat for our senior dog, Cooper, at our place for 4 days and it was a great experience. He was communicative and responsive, he left the house cleaner than when we left, and more importantly he took great care of Cooper!! We would highly recommend.”
“Madeline is a great communicator and easy to schedule with. She was very attentive towards our pets and really cared for them. She’s very flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate us within a short period of notice.”
“Nicole was great with our two 10-year-old cattle dogs for their first overnight stay with a new sitter. She was kind, professional, and easy to talk to about all their routines and quirks beforehand, which put us at ease leaving our pups in someone new's care. While we were away, she sent updates at the key points in their schedule, so we always knew they were fed, walked, and settled. Everything about the stay felt smooth and well cared for, and we're already looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Nathan was a stellar home / dog sitter while we were away for a week. He kept good care of our dog and home, providing helpful updates and showing our dog a great time.”
“Alison was wonderful! My cats were very well taken care of and I got regular updates. When I came home, everything was clean and my cats were very happy. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
Caitlin was amazing with our animals! Our dog can be a little stand offish at first meet but she was able to handle this well and quickly made him feel comfortable. She was a great communicator and very attentive to our animals needs. She was quick to contact us with a possible medical emergency (thankfully nothing major). We felt very relaxed on our trip knowing she was watching our boys.
Angie is a 100/10 above and beyond dog sitter. Our Lainey girl loves her so much and Angie takes the best care of her! She is so patient and kind - and Lainey can be challenging sometimes! Angie helped make our wedding weekend so special and perfect including driving her to our wedding pictures and having an adorable photo shoot with Lainey to surprise us when she got home. We would highly recommend Angie!
Ava took great care of Blitzen! He seemed very comfortable with her and she was attentive to all his needs (including giving meds for an ear infection). She was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!
Olivia was so amazing with our dog and cat while we were gone. She sent lots of photos and kept us updated daily on things they did. It truly gave us peace of mind while we were abroad. We look forward to using Olivia again for all our upcoming needs, she’s truly the best!
I would highly recommend Lindsy to take care of your pets! She is very diligent in making sure she has a pre-visit and that she thoroughly understands your pet’s needs/routines. Lindsy was highly responsive and always provided us updates. She was also really flexible in adapting to Zoey when she had a bit of anxiety. Felt super comfortable leaving Zoey in her care!
Maddie was an amazing dog sitter! She was very punctual, communicative, and took such great care of our dog. She really helped us feel comfortable while we were away for a week and Zoey clearly loved her! We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her sit Zoey again.
We found Jalina on Rover, and needed both a housesitter (water plants, take in mail, etc.) as well as taking care of our pup, Ceci who is used to having some work from home and gets anxious in new spaces. Jalina was exceptional in the lead up to the stay; after a 30min video call to get to know each other and review the space (and the pup), we sent over a reference document in advance with specifics, which she reviewed promptly (and had questions on). We had an hour-long visit a few days in advance, split between going for a walk and going over the fiddly house items, which was great. On the day of departure, she arrived promptly, got settled in, and we went to the airport. We got daily updates on the dog, and Ceci seemed to have a lovely time with her, in her own space and her own routine; Jalina made sure she was very well cared for! Due to a delayed flight, we didn’t have any crossover of us getting back and her leaving, but we coordinated via messaging (super prompt) and we came back to our space just as we left it. Based on this stay with us, we’d recommend Jalina to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medford on Rover is $75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,398 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Medford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Medford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
