“Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!”
“Nicole was great! She was responsive, communicative and sent tons of pictures to keep me informed. Our dogs is a little timid at first and opened up immediately with Nicole!”
“Kimberly was wonderful with my elderly standard poodle, who requires special diet and meds multiple times a day. Then my cat got sick and she took him the the emergency vet, then had meds for him also! She was kind and loving to my fur boys. I recommend her highly!”
“Briana took great care of my three large dogs for four nights in my home, while we were away. She kept amazing communication throughout the entire time and sent pictures everyday several times a day with updates of my fur babies. I would highly recommend Briana for any pet sitting needs.”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
“Our pets were cared for with top notch attention. We received pictures and text updates regularly. Our home was just how we left it . We are beyond happy with our service and will definitely book again.”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”
“We have used a lot of dog sitters but Seffie has by far been the best! Our boys were extremely happy and well taken care of. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and we couldn’t be happier with the way she took care of our boys.”
“We have two large, anxious dogs and finding a sitter we trust can be difficult. Greg is a total exception. Communication was consistent and reassuring, updates and photos throughout without us even having to ask. Greg genuinely knew how to handle big, nervous breeds. Calm, patient, no rushing, our dogs were relaxed by the end of the stay and it put our minds at ease.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Ornn! Krista came to meet Ornn ahead of time, I coukd tell he was comfortable. She was very responsive leading up to watching Ornn, and sent pictures throughout her stay so I knew he was happy and well cared for. I came home to a clean home and a very happy pup! So thankful!”
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”
“Ashiera was amazing! She sent pictures and updates everyday. Honey Mochi is very shy but Ashiera was patient with her and got her to warm up eventually. I will definitely be working with Ashiera again!”
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He came to our home early for a walk-through and made sure he understood everything about our dogs’ routines and our house. He was very professional and went above and beyond to check on our pups and keep us updated while we were away. It was clear how much he truly loves animals, and knowing he’s also a vet nurse gave us such peace of mind during our trip. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was spotless when we returned. We couldn’t recommend Christopher more highly!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs, mainly small to medium because I have 1 small dog at home. I sometimes Foster for a few rescues as well. I crate train them and help get them ready for adoption. I have experience with puppies to Senior 🐶❤️ I work from home and able to board on weekends and possibly during the weeks as well. My 2 little dogs are laid back and sleep most of the day. I have a fenced in yard and have a playpen as well if needed. I work from home 8-5 and can keep an eye on my furry friends during the day and available after 5pm and weekends
“Our very first overnight stay without our pups, WENT PERFECTLY, thanks to Allie!! We were admittedly nervous. Last time we traveled without our dogs, I found one posted on FB Lost and Found a few minutes after landing in Europe!!🤦♀️ My son was a lot calmer about it than I was!! Whew!! Our three were in great hands for the week with Allie. Pics every day. Lots of interaction. Just what I needed to build confidence. By day 3, hubby was getting jealous his “girl” seemed to be in love with Allie!! lol Part of the nerves was knowing I have a stranger in the house while gone. Got a great feeling with Allie on interview so went with my gut. It proved me well. Allie left the house as near as when she arrived! And she didn’t have to!! We were pleasantly surprised! We returned home relaxed, our home and dogs in great hands while away. It was our first trip without a hiccup! We are so psyched!! Thanks to Allie’s special cuddles and care with our three, it was clear this was a perfect match for our future travel plans! Five stars for Allie!!”

Ally was fantastic! She was super attentive, kept up with the puppy energy, and kept my mind completely at ease while I was out. She showed my cats some extra love and attention, too, even though she was just hired for the puppy! She sent the sweetest pictures/updates as well. Highly recommend!
If you need a dog sitter, Bri is your girl! I cannot rave enough about the care and attention that my pups received while I was on vacation. I was able to actually kick back and enjoy myself because of how well Bri communicated and made my dogs feel at home. 5 stars doesn’t do justice and I cannot express my gratitude for Bri and how well cared for my dogs were!
Thank you so much for taking great care of Ornn! Krista came to meet Ornn ahead of time, I coukd tell he was comfortable. She was very responsive leading up to watching Ornn, and sent pictures throughout her stay so I knew he was happy and well cared for. I came home to a clean home and a very happy pup! So thankful!

FAQs for House Sitting - Medford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medford on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,107 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.

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.
