“Natalie is fantastic! Her calendar is up-to-date, and she responds quickly. She's has an easy-going comfortable way around dogs that will make you comfortable leaving your dog with her. Our dog tends to be people shy and she loved Natalie right away.”
“Katie was wonderful! She sent regular updates and pictures of our cat, took excellent care of our home, and communicated quickly throughout the planning process before her stay. I couldn’t recommend her more! Hopefully we’re able to book her again. Thanks, Katie!”
“As a first-time Rover user, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tati was wonderful with communication and kept me updated throughout my trip, which really put my mind at ease. I came home to a clean house and happy, well-cared-for fur babies. I really appreciated how responsive and reassuring she was, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! Thanks, Tati!”
“I’m torn on giving Mandy and Daniel an honest review, because I’d want to gatekeep them for ourselves! They were absolutely fantastic with our two, 75lb and 65lb large dogs, one of which is a bit over 1 year old and got that puppy energy still. She was also in heat at the time of them watching her, and took the challenge on like a champ! It was literally the HOTTEST weekend of August, and they went on to give them more walks than I even requested! They of course went in the cooler times of the day, and managed the length accordingly to how the dogs were handling the heat. They also spoiled the pups with some homemade boiled chicken, as well as some cute new toys! I’m pretty sure my dogs were sad to have us back, cuz they took such great care of them. They left the house spotless, and even stripped the linens for us. Gosh, dunno what I did to deserve these angels but I really hope they’ll be back to watch our fur babies again!”
“So grateful to have Rachael stay with our doodle while we were away on vacation. She did a terrific job and our pup was clearly comfortable and happy while we were gone. She left the house spotless. Will definitely ask her to come again!”
“We are so grateful for the responsible and thoughtful care Melissa takes of our cat. She is very clear and regular with communication, updates, and photos. Our cat is generally not the friendliest with strangers but he absolutely loves Melissa!”
“Jay was WONDERFUL with our dog and I would hire him again in an heartbeat. Our lab is a nervous boy, especially around men. But Jay was patient and loving so he warmed right up. We received lots of cute photos and it was clear that he was relaxed and happy. We had a great vacation knowing our boy was in great care.”
“Karen was awesome!! We have used several dog sitters from Rover and I can say she was by far the best we have had! She sent pictures throughout the day with updates on how my doggies were doing!! The house was just as we left it(maybe a little better. ;) I would 10000% recommend her and I hope to be able to use her in the future for sure!!!”
“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Nick was amazing with our dog Cooper and cat Riley! We received so many pictures and updates throughout the day and he was so responsive. Will definitely be a repeat customer!! Thanks Nick!!”
“Arshneel was outstanding! She took great care of Charlie and Yuba while keeping us informed the whole time. She was also super helpful and flexible when we had issues with our flights coming back home, could not be more grateful that she was able to help us, and will absolutely contact her again.”
About: I may be new to Rover (Nov '26), but I'm not new to caring for other's pets. I regularly dog sit for family and friends, helping with everything from daily walks to multi-day house sitting. I give every dog I watch the same care and attention I give my own pet. I know how much I miss my cat when I'm away from her, so I'll be sure to send you lots of photo updates so you know how your dog is doing. I am currently between jobs and searching for a new full-time job, so I have plenty of time to give your pet all the care and attention it needs! My top priority is keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I like to have a quick meeting with clients before getting started so I can learn about feeding schedules, favorite toys and ways to play, preferred hiding spots, and any medications. I'll follow your instructions closely and will share regular updates so you can stay informed with how your pet is doing.
“Sophia was great with watching Sage for me over the weekend. Sage looked super happy and energetic when I got back. She had kept the house clean as I left it and was also very super nice about updating me everyday with pictures and videos of them playing. Will definitely book her again in future!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs (one small dog when I was younger and a medium dog when I was a teenager). I have a cat of my own and love providing care for others’ pets! I have pet sat for neighbors over the summer when I was a college student. I’m currently working full time, so I can take care of pets before work (before 8 AM) or after work (after 5:30 PM). If it’s a visit to stay at your home for the day, I can work remotely and provide your pet the care he/she needs! I am willing to care for pets in your home and will make every effort to keep your place as tidy as possible and your pet happy!
“Laura was a great companion to our 5 year old golden doodle over the holidays while were we out of town. Before the sit she asked lots of questions and made she she understood his personality, routines, and needs so he wouldn’t be stressed out while we were away. Once she arrived she made sure he got lots of exercise and attention every day. She sent updates and pictures of him daily and we could clearly tell that he enjoyed her company. While we are sure he was happy to have us home I am sure he missed having Laura around! She also took good care of our home and was a lovely house guest. We are so happy we found her and will definitely have her back in the future. Thank you, Laura!”
“Spoorthy was wonderful! She showed up on time and my dogs who usually bark at everyone were immediately comfortable with her and didn’t bark once. She did an overnight and was very communicative throughout her stay and took great care of my dogs and home. Absolutely recommend!”
“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!”

Olha is a Star Sitter for a reason. She was absolutely wonderful with my 3.5 month old puppy for the 48 hours I was out of town. She provided regular messages three times each day reporting on their activities and included pictures to document how happy my puppy was with her new devoted caregiver, I did not have even one worry about how things were or would be on my return. I’m very pleased to report that Olha P. Is a true professional and a kind, thoughtful, and 100% trustworthy young woman. I would feel comfortable going away for other family time out of state if I can secure Olha to puppy sit again!
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She was so friendly, reliable, and attentive, and followed all instructions perfectly. She truly went above and beyond, and I came home to a spotless house and a very happy cat! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book her again. Highly recommend Maria!
Skye was amazing. She clearly loved my kitty Raz and took great care of him, was not put off by the fact he had a complicated medication regimen, sent me a ton of pics of him, left the apartment spotless, and was willing to work with me last minute for a prolonged cat sitting period when Raz got sick last minute. Would definitely recommend Skye to anyone.
Alice did an outstanding job taking care of our rescue dog Daphne in our home. Daphne can be difficult; she's quite territorial and usually takes days (or even weeks) to accept new people. Alice patiently worked to give Daphne space and observe her boundaries. She gave us frequent updates and discussed how best to approach Daphne's quirks and deal with her on her own terms. On first meeting, Alice asked many relevant questions and took detailed notes to better get to know our dog's specific needs. She clearly cares deeply about providing the best and most compassionate care for the pets she sits. In addition, Alice was a courteous guest in our home and we arrived home to find a thoughtful note recapping her stay with Daphne. Her rates may be a bit higher than some other sitters we've used, but it was worth every penny to know that our challenging little pup was so well cared for. We won't hesitate to call on her the next time we need someone to sit our beloved Daphne!
Isabel is such a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our anxious but playful Havanese puppy for a week and was so patient, attentive, and reliable. She was great about accommodating his picky eating habits, keeping up with his potty breaks, and sending us regular photo updates. It was clear he was in great hands, and he absolutely loves her! We would definitely love to have her sit for him again.
Lauren was very helpful and took very good care of my kitty while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that my cat was well while I was away. I will definitely book her again now that my cat is familiar with her, 100% recommend!
Sebastian was a fantastic house sitter for our 2 cats that are both very shy but tend to be lonely without a human companion, especially for 3 weeks while we were in a different time zone! Sebastian is very gentle, kind and accommodating. He was determined to make a connection with both cats and it worked! Both cats were brushed daily (something they love). They had play time as well. The cats soon started hanging out in the same room as Sebastian, which is typical with us, but not necessarily a sitter. Communication with Sebastian was easy despite the time difference. Sebastian took excellent care of our new home, also pointing out any issues he noted that might not be aware of. Our house was clean and in order we returned. Zero complaints. We definitely plan to book Sebastian again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Medford is $75 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $100 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 6,261 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medford. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
