Would safely care for animals in the clients home and love to send pictures to keep you at ease. Communication is key and I will strive to make sure you feel safe
“Kayleigh did an excellent job caring for my fur babies. Great attention to detail. I was able to have peace of mind while away knowing Kayleigh would be going to check in on them.”
“Highly recommend Monica! My cat is a sufferer of the COVID telework anxiety and she took great care of him while I was on leave. I even know my cat was a happy customer by evidence of his toys everywhere and his happy full belly. Monica was great at providing me updates with pictures and notes on his care for that visit.”
“Leah has been taking care of our dogs for years. Recently, we were worried about leaving our 17 year old beagle and we knew she would be well taken care of. Leah is caring, attentive, and communicates often.”
About: Hi, I’m Angie! My husband and I share a calm, child-free home with no resident pets, giving your pet a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention. I work from home and can keep your pet’s normal routine consistent with companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and quiet time throughout the day.

I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, needs, routines, and personalities. Our home is especially well suited for seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals accustomed to being the only pet at home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, send regular photo updates, and provide a safe, cozy home away from home. ☺️ I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day for companionship, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and quiet time. There’s also a park just a two-minute walk from my home, making outdoor time easy to incorporate into your pet’s normal routine.

About: 8+ years of in-home pet care in South Jersey, plus veterinary assistant experience in clinic. I have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish), and reptiles. Clinic work is why medically complex and senior pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, watching appetite / mobility / bathroom changes, and knowing when to text you versus when to call the vet. I am especially strong with: • Diabetic dogs, including twice-daily insulin • Anxious or slow-to-warm dogs — space first, trust second • Senior dogs and special-needs dogs • Multi-dog and dog + cat households • Reptiles and other “please don’t forget the heat lamp” pets I take a limited number of clients so I can actually keep your pet’s routine — same walk times, same feeding windows, same bedtime rituals. I’m studying occupational therapy. Class and clinic are on my calendar in advance, so when I accept a sit I am actually in your home or at your door, not squeezing you between a full boarder’s list. House sits: I stay overnight in your home. Drop-ins and walks: I book around real med and meal times, not whenever it’s convenient for me. Weekends and holiday windows are when I’m most open. I’m based in Medford. Walks and drop-ins stay inside about 15 miles so I can be on time. If you’re not sure I cover you, send the request anyway — I’ll be honest about drive time. I sit in your home. I do not board other animals at mine. I have two senior dogs and two reptiles, and your pets stay in their own territory — that’s safer for my seniors and calmer for yours. Clinic work is why medically complex pets are a fit, not a stretch: oral meds, insulin and other injections, First Aid/CPR. Pills, post-op care, and “is this an emergency or a weird quirk” are normal for me. If your dog needs two shots a day, I set alarms. If something looks off, you hear from me immediately. I follow your rules in your house — crate, gates, furniture, thermostat, alarm, trash, mail. I don’t treat your home like a hotel and your pet like a side task. Meet & greets are required for first-time overnights so your pet can interview me before you leave.
“Krista and her daughter took wonderful care of our cats. Krista was patient with all three of our cats who have very different personalities. She was great at communicating any concerns and she took the most amazing pictures of our cats. We so appreciate the time and attention she provided our fur babies while we were away! I highly recommend Krista! She is amazing!”
“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”
About: I adopted two cats of my own in 2019 and have also been cat sitting for over two years. It’s hard to put into words how much I love animals, but caring for them has always been a big part of my life. 🤍 I regularly feed and care for stray cats in my community, and I’ve helped three adult strays find loving forever homes. Whenever I come across a cat or dog in need, I always try to help however I can. 🐾While I'm a cat person at heart, I'm equally passionate about dogs. I gained experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments through dog sitting and volunteer. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, handle various behavioral needs, and provide affectionate care. I enjoy walking, cuddling, and spending quality time with dogs to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved! 🤍I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies just like my own and make sure they are well-fed, cared for, and given plenty of love and attention while they’re with me! :) I’m currently a student and work part-time as a registered nurse, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every pet has their own needs, so I’ll always do my best to work with you and your fur baby! :) I always make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow their usual feeding, walking, litter, play, and potty routines as closely as possible, and I pay close attention to their behavior and body language. I understand that every cat and dog has a different personality, so I respect their boundaries and never force interaction, especially with shy or anxious pets. I’m also careful about keeping doors, windows, leashes, and their surroundings secure. Most importantly, I’ll give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing❤️
About: Hi, I’m Esteysi! I’m a bioengineer working in cancer medicine, where I have the privilege of contributing to treatments and innovations that help improve patients’ lives. Science and healthcare are a big part of who I am, and I’m passionate about making a difference through my work. At home, life is busy, fun, and full of love. I live with my wonderful wife, our two amazing sons, our playful pup Jack, and our cat Meeko, who definitely keeps things interesting! As a family, we love spending time together, making memories, and caring for our animals, who are very much part of the family. Whether we’re enjoying outdoor adventures, relaxing at home, or simply sharing everyday moments, we value kindness, laughter, and the connections we build with the people and pets we love.
About: Hey there! Are you looking for a trustworthy and reliable person to help care for your beloved companion(s)? (Of course you are, thats why we're here!) My current work leaves me with some time I love to fill with animals. I'm a remote worker central to Medford Village, which means I'm often available for last minute services. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and know more than the average bear about dog behavior. I can recognize when a canine is uncomfortable and needs extra patience or anxious and needs an outlet. I have 3 years experience teaching basic obediance on top of that. If you need a consistent walker, I can teach your dog basic walking etiquette during our walks too. I have my own dog who is extremly friendly and availiable for visits, if you would like a playmate for your pup. He's a jobial, 30lb Beagle/lab mix and up to date on all shots. No extra charge, just let me know you'd like to meet Chester too! We used to work with rescued fighting pitbulls and Chester was the dog used for socalizing. Hes very non-reactive and perfect for socalizing puppies or reactive dogs. I look to provide a simulating experience for your pet and a transparent one for you. I send lots of pics and communicate often. I look forward to connecting to see if were a good fit. I am a remote worker with a fluctuating schedule. I am able to provide last minute and consistent services to my neighbors close by M-F, weekends vary. When in your home, I always make sure everything is locked up before I leave and let you know if I see something out of sorts. When in my home, I have a bonus room set up for dogs, as well as a gated patio they can enjoy.

Our normal pet sitter wasn’t available for a last minute trip and I’m so glad we found Bri! She was so sweet and attentive to our two fur babies while we were gone. She was also super flexible when we needed to make a schedule change for one of her visits. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

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.

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.

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.
