About: I’m a very active person and absolutely love being outside! I have no problem giving your pup a bath, getting some exercise in, or giving them ALL the cuddles. 🥰 I’d even love to go for a run with your pup if that’s something they enjoy! I promise I won’t disappoint you! ❤️ I have a 5-year-old husky who is extremely active and definitely keeps me on my toes 😂, so I understand the attention, exercise, and love that high-energy dogs need. I also grew up with two big Labs and had a German Shepherd puppy, so I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I truly love all types of dogs and would be so happy to give your pup the same love and attention I give my own! 🐾❤️ I’m Jess! I’ve always been an animal lover and have a husky of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us. They’re family, and I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own!

I’m big on keeping their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while you’re gone. I’m also a Rover Star Sitter, and I’m so grateful for all of the amazing pet parents who have trusted me with their fur babies!

“Gregory did a great job watching our two dogs. He was dependable, easy to work with, and has a calm energy that our dogs seemed to respond to really well. We felt confident leaving them in his care and would happily have him watch them again in the future.”

“Quanece and Malik were wonderful pet sitters for our senior cat with medical needs! They texted us each morning to let us know that our cat took her meds and frequently sent us pictures of her.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring reliability, calm confidence, and genuine affection to every pet I look after. I understand routines, behavior cues, and how to create a stress‑free environment for animals of all ages. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive care, clear communication, and a safe, comfortable space. Your peace of mind, and your pet’s happiness, are always my top priorities. Animals have always been part of my everyday life, so pet care blends seamlessly into my routine. I’m used to balancing work, errands, and pet responsibilities, from morning play sessions to evening wind downs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like an interruption. I provide all pet care directly in my clients’ homes, where animals feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any special instructions, so nothing in their day feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their habits, moods, and comfort levels, and I make sure their space stays clean, calm, and consistent while their family is away. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and cared for in the environment they know best.
“Emily did great at watching both my dogs. She was great at sticking to my dogs medicine and feeding schedule. Followed all instructions I had left about them. Took them on a walk when she didn't have to. I trusted her completely in my house while I was away as well. She seemed to enjoy being around my dogs which always helps ease anyone worry that a sitter would treat them kindly. My dogs also seemed to like her as well, which is helpful. In fact, I have actually hired for two more over night occasions this month. I would highly recommend her.”
“James did a great job watching our dog while we were overseas for two weeks. He took care of everything and went above and beyond, even cooking chicken for our dog who went on a hunger strike while we were gone. We were able to vacation without any worries, knowing that our pup was in good hands!”
“Janaah was wonderful, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Willow for several days and nights!!--Janaah is very kind and tolerant of "special needs" pets and medications --my senior dog was terrific when I got back--not stressed or having any issues whatsoever !!”
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Medford is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $81 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 October 2026, there are 4,857 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
