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.
“Caroline was very friendly. She did a great job taking care of our cat Leo while we were away. Would highly recommend and rebook with her again the next time we go away! Thank you Caroline”
“Caitlin provided excellent vacation care for our nervous dog. She coaxed him to take his medicine, go on adventurous walks and play in the yard with her while we were away.”
“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!”
“Monica was amazing at taking care of our cat! She provided many updates/photos and took things at our cat’s pace as she’s quite shy. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Monica!!”
“Jazmin was the best! She left amazing updates, adorable photos, and Frankie was healthy and happy when I came home from my trip. I really appreciated how clean my house was when I got back! No stinky litter or leftover wet food in sight!”
“Matilde was so great, my favorite sitter I've had on Rover so far, and she really made me feel like my cat was taken care of. She went above and beyond to make my cat feel minimal disruptions to my absence, and was so sweet about sending pictures and updating me on my cat's behaviors. Definitely gonna be my new go-to sitter in the area”
“Nate has been awesome with our dog, Sadie. She can be fearful, but it was very clear at the first meeting that she was comfortable with him right away. He’s very attentive and communicative - sends pictures and videos during his visit, which we love. We will be continuing to have him watch Sadie on a regular basis and occasionally day care and overnights!”
“she’s amazing and after she learned I am Deaf, she finds a way to communicate with me. I truly appreciate that. my cat likes her a lot. I recommend her to pet sitting your furkids and I trust her. I definitely will have her again in the future.”
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!
“Elliot took great care of my cat Mia while I was out of town. He came by for a meet and greet beforehand, and gave detailed notes, pictures and a video each of his visits. He also offered to come by outside of the selected visits to check in on Mia and keep her company. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Yuting was super easy to communicate with and extremely prompt on her reply (especially with myself needing the check-in about 40 minutes ahead of schedule). On top of that, I had complete peace of mind that she was the one checking in on my old man (cat), especially after reading her profile and a brief chat with her. Extremely happy she had availability for me, and definitely will be booking 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! :)”
“Jamie took great care of Duckie cat over the past week. I got pictures and saw that my little kitten was happy, healthy and having fun. That's all one could possibly want while on vacation. Thanks Jamie!! I'll trust you to watch Duckie any time, but I'm taking her with me on my next trip ;)”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Amanda did a great job cat sitting for my two cats while I was away. She was very communicative and sent many photos which I appreciated a lot! I came home to two very happy and cuddly kitties, which means the world to me. I would highly recommend Amanda as a pet sitter.
Aash is the perfect cat sitter, as always she took amazing care of our girls and they loved seeing her! Our very shy cat even sat in her lap, and she doesn’t even come out for strangers. I will always book Aash and you should too for the best possible care your cats can get!
Kayala was absolutely incredible with our two medically complex cats! It was our first time using Rover and they warmed up to her immediately. She was amazing about their medication (cardiac pills for one and inhaler for the other) and we felt very comfortable being away for 10 days. We HIGHLY recommend!!
Caroline was so great with my cat Nutmeg! I usually expect Nutmeg to be shy and not interact with strangers, but she looked like she really enjoyed hanging out with Caroline. It was so comforting to get the rover card updates and know that Nutmeg was being well taken care of!
Daniela always takes good care of my two cats when I’m out of town. She’s on time and attentive to the instructions I provided in advance. Also, she ends her visit by providing detailed updates of how cats were doing during her visit and sends out cute pictures of them which helps me feel reassured that they are in good hands. Highly recommend!
Fernanda always does a fantastic job with her drop-in visits for my very needy cat. I’m always kept in communication and receive lots of cute pictures and videos each visit. They go above and beyond in their care of Bandit, and I always feel comfortable leaving for trips knowing they are coming to visit each day. Thank you!!
Shannon was awesome! My cat is very particular and takes time to warm up to new people, but Shannon was incredibly patient and respectful of her space while making sure she was well cared for. She provided excellent care & updates, I felt much more at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in good hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Medford on Rover is $25.61 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,742 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medford. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
