“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!”
“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.”
“Nicole was OUTSTANDING!! She kept us updated everyday with pictures and let us know how our boys were doing. She put our minds at ease while on vacation. I can’t say enough great things about Nicole! She is 5 star plus plus plus!!”
“What a gem Kim is!! I have a 7 month old HIGH energy GSP mix and when I tell you guys this puppy mom was stressin about going away this weekend for my husbands birdhday/father's day weekend..I was stressin'! Should I stay home? Who can handle this puppy? Will he be okay with a sitter? Will THEY be okay with my Max? But Kim eased all those worries for me. We did a meet and greet with Max first. (which put me at ease that he would be just fine with her) While we were away, Kim sent frequent updates and kept reassuring me that he was a sweetheart and that he's just simply a puppy! She even brought in the mail for us. What a relief it is to know that my fur baby was well taken care of and that he didn't drive Kim away 😆😆. We will most definitely be using Kim again in the future! Thank you Kim!”
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“Jahaira was such a pleasure to have petsit/housesit. She was easy to communicate with and she sent plenty of pictures throughout the day! My house was left spotless too! I would highly recommend her and will be using again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a part time nursing student at Neumann University living in Medford. I have two dogs of my own, a 70 pound Dalmatian and a 25 pound rescue mix, so I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have over five years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also helped at my Dalmatian’s training facility when he was a puppy, where I learned positive reinforcement techniques and gained experience working with dogs of all ages. I am comfortable giving oral medications, walking dogs that pull, and following your pet’s routine. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I am currently a part time nursing student at Neumann University, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. Caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, so I am available for walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company while you are away. I will always do my best to work around your schedule and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. Before each visit, I like to learn your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including dogs that pull on walks, and I can give oral medications if needed. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad Harris! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working full time Monday through Friday. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, I’d just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Always free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Gabrielle was wonderful while we were away. She kept in contact the whole time. We gave her a lot of details for Bowie’s care before we left. She followed them precisely and asked questions if anything came up that we did not tell her. We got lots of pics and updates. We felt at ease knowing Bowie was being well cared for. When bad weather was predicted for our return date she stayed with him way past when we had agreed upon to make sure we were safely en route home before leaving him. Definitely got 5 star care and service from her and recommend her full heartedly.”
“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”
“This was our first time using Kayleigh and we were thrilled! She is kind, compassionate, caring and responsible. She is well spoken, timely and professional. We will be sure to call her again. We are very particular as to who we trust our pups with and we highly recommend Kayleigh.”
“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!”
About: My family and I have had dogs and cats a part of our family for my entire life. I have had dogs in the family since I was little; and most recently have had the pleasure of three lovely ladies; two of which we have raised from puppies. I can care for dogs both young and old, as well as cats. I also have cats in my family, including some with health issues. My life revolves around my pets, and I’d love for your pets to be a part of that too! I’m working part time currently, as well as completing my high school education, but other than that my schedule is pretty open; specifically in afternoons or weekend mornings! I have crated dog experience, hyper dog experience, older dog experience, big/heavy dog experience, dog and cat interaction experience, and multiple dogs in a household experience.
“Catherine is just a gem! Very organized, responsible, and knowledgeable. She was watching our dogs and a house, showing real care. I felt at peace leaving everything in her hands.”
“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!”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Medford is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
Allie was truly lovely. This was our first time using a sitter. Parker has a lot of separation anxiety so I wasn't sure how it would go. She took the time to come do a meet and greet ahead of time. She made him feel comfortable, asked questions and spent time calmly cuddling him so he could get used to her while we were all together. She was communicative and sent me photo updates. It was clear Parker felt safe with her and that helped put me ease. I am so grateful to know we have someone we cen trust him with now.
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 June 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 June 2026, there are 5,034 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.

- 89% 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.
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.
