“Best pet caretaker ever! Katelyn has been watching our dog on a regular basis for 4 months and does an excellent job. I always come home to a happy dog and everything in are home is just how we left it. Katelyn does a superb job of communicating any concerns or questions in a prompt manner.”
About: I’ve owned two dogs of my own (1 currently - Ellie!) and I regularly dog sit two other dogs owned by a friend. I love dogs and understand their behavior very well. As a dog owner myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes with leaving your dog with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have a full time job Monday through Friday but am generally available on weekends and occasional weeknights. I’m also more flexible on Fridays. I’m comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes. I would love to help provide potty breaks and walks and playing! For boarding, I have a roughly 30x30ft fenced yard and one 40lb friendly dog of my own.
“We have a high anxiety dog. Nathan is working with us to build a relationship and trust with our dog. Nathan is Reliable, Dependable, Conscientious and cares about your pet.”
“Davene has been so wonderful around my cat and gave her medications perfectly well. I would 100% definitely recommend her in the future. She was very knowledgeable and asked questions on things i would have forgotten to mention to her on my notes for her. Thank you for being there for her!”
“David was very caring & open when doing his drop in visits. He took care of my dogs & walked them when it was in the negatives & had no complaints. I appreciated his thorough communication & attention to detail. If we weren’t moving we would book David every time!”
“Kayleigh was great as usual. She took excellent care of Ruben tending to his needs. As always, she was kind, patient and very attentive to Ruben. Would highly recommend her services!”
About: I really wish my husband and I could adopt a dog but our condo complex doesn’t allow them and it breaks my heart! Can I borrow yours for a couple hours?? I’ve always loved animals so taking care of them just seems so rewarding and fun for a part time job. I’ll get to hang out with dogs and cats regularly so it’s perfect for me! I always go the extra mile for my cats when it comes to their food because both of them have some dietary issues. Both are healthy and happy and have a great meal plan.
“Gabrielle was amazing! Incredibly responsive and gave us such helpful updates while we were away for the weekend, including letting us know about our pups’ moods/how they seemed to be fairing. Also went above and beyond and kindly brought in our packages! We were in such a last minute bind and this was our first time with Rover, but Gabrielle truly saved the day and kept us confident in knowing that our pups were safe and cared for. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I am a former playroom attendant at Dogtopia Doggy Daycare. I’ve cared for cats for 20+ years. I’ve cared for dogs for 18 years. I have minimal experience with training animals and some experience administering medication to pets. I am available to take dogs on walks or to dog parks. I am also available for pop-in visits. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry loved ones. I am available day and night to care for your animal. I can come into the home and provide care if needed. I have a fur child of my own that is very sociable and can come play with your pup.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Brigitte was amazing! I was on vacation and decided to stay away longer and my current pet sitter couldn't extend her visits. I contacted Brigitte on short notice and she stepped in and took over the care of my kitten, Sophie. She sent the cutest pictures at every visit and I could tell Sophie was enjoying their time together! Brigitte even spent extra time, sometimes hours longer than agreed on, with Sophie. I will absolutely have Brigitte take care of Sophie again!!”
“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”
“Allie took great care of my kitties, even my shy one loved to be around her! This my second booking with her. She was great with my dog as well. I highly recommend Allie to look after your pets!”
“Alyssa did a great job with Zennor! I was very comfortable with her keeping me informed and wound up booking her for a 2nd time on the same day. I will happily have her back to look after Zennor again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
Jessica was amazing caring for our pups! Just from our initial meet, I could tell our dogs were in great hands. She went above and beyond: picking up poop from the yard, cleaning, and giving great thorough updates on how the dogs were doing. We are so lucky to have found her and would love to have her watch our pups again!
Always on time and consistently spent the full planned time with our three kitties, making sure they were cared for and given some quality attention. She also provided photo updates at each visit and was very communicative. Will definitely book with Sophia again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Medford is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 8,253 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Medford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
