“Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!”
“I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“We had Kelly come dog sit in January for a week. She was amazing! Very comforting for us that my dog, Sophie, would be cared for in my home. Sophie is normally an anxious dog. While Kelly was with her, Sophie was completely fine. I really enjoyed the photos of Sophie that Kelly sent me during her stay. Kelly stayed overnight for Sophie, she was very respectful of my home and left it the way she found it. I would highly recommend Kelly for your pet needs!!!!”
“Hands down best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. I received photos and updates throughout the day and the experience with dogs was unmatched. Thank you! Will definitely use again!!!”
About: Hello! I’m new to Rover and would love to have the chance to care for your pets! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, mostly small (i love big dogs too!) and a variety of breeds! I’ve also had experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior so I understand the demands of all stages of life. I also have experience training basic commands. In addition to pet care, I also have experience with house cleaning services. If you’d like, I’m happy to provide light or full house cleaning during your booking for an additional charge. Feel free to message me for details! I am currently working full time so my availability is weekday evenings after 5:30 pm, weekends (all day), and Mondays late afternoon-evening after 3 pm I have a fenced in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around! I have a mini poodle who would never hurt a fly, he’s getting old but still a puppy at heart. He is very friendly and will keep your dog company! With a crate provided, there is room to set that up as well.
“Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!”
“This is atleast the forth time Anthony And Melanie have stayed at the house during our trips taking magnificent care of Ollie. The are kind, pet knowledgeable and Ollie adores them! No worries when they are here looking after Ollie. Barbars and Frank Navetta”
“Kimberly was so amazing while she watched my dog Rocky. She saw signs of anxiety, but went at his own pace and she’s really experienced. I felt really relieved, knowing that my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend.”
“Linda is amazing!!. My dog has anxiety, especially around new people, and Linda's calm, patient and caring nature put her at ease right away. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such loving hands. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. I highly recommend Linda!!”
About: I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all kinds. My neighbors and family members have often relied on me taking care of their dogs while they’re away which gave me experience in being attentive and patients to different dogs needs. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some exercise, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time so I am super flexible to work with you and your dogs schedule and routine. Whenever you need me I can try to accommodate you! In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while giving their pet plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure pets get enough outdoor time, stay hydrated, and feel relaxed while their owner is away.
About: I have experience working with many different kinds of animals! I am kind, patient, caring, and I am able to work with so many different animal personalities! I’m your go to pet sitter for ALL of your animal needs! I can always make time to take care of animals that need it! Just reach out to me and I’ll put you in my schedule! I care for pets in the owners/clients home as I do not have the capacity for any boarding or day care in my own home. I care for animals with compassion, trust, and of course, love!
About: Hi! I’m Jo, and I specialize in caring for small dogs who are used to being someone’s whole world. After struggling to find a sitter who truly only takes one dog at a time, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was searching for. I know how hard it is to leave your little one with someone else. Small dogs aren’t just pets — they’re shadows, cuddle buddies, emotional support systems, and family. They thrive on attention, routine, and feeling safe. That’s exactly what I provide. If the thought of your small dog feeling scared or lost among a pack worries you, you’ve found the safe place you’ve been looking for I work from home so will be able to give full attention. I understand small dog energy — from clingy Velcro pups to sassy little bosses. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to their comfort and routines. Right now, caring for my own small dog is part of my everyday life. I follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and lots of affection throughout the day. I make sure my dog gets enough exercise but also has quiet time to rest, especially after walks or play. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if something seems off.
About: Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself. From June 28-August 8th I have open availability! Currently, I am a teacher, so I'm only available 5 PM or later on weekdays, and occasionally on weekends until June 28th. . I have cared for pets with varrying energy levels, ages, training, interests, and health conditions. When I care for your pet, I will treat it as if it is my own. I will be an extention of you while you are away to keep things as normal for your pet as possible. Let's chat about your pets needs and figure out what works best for your pet.
About: I have a passion for working with dogs (and cats), especially in training with them. I have 10+ years experience of working, riding, and training horses! No matter the age or size, I’ll be there to care for them when you need. Even if they have special needs or quirks, I’ll always accommodate. Looking to make this into my career!! I have a huge passion for animals, especially dogs, cats and horses. I got into this so I can prioritize my passion for a career with dogs! Weekends are available as well, and I will always try and work something out! No matter the size or age of your pet, I will always try my very best to accommodate! I am available for most holidays as well! I try and leave everything as if I was never even there! I love brushing cats/dogs so I might just spend time doing that as well! I try and be as comforting as possible to keep the pets routine the same as well.
“Laureano is the best. His communication is great. He sends lots of pictures and my dog and cat were very happy with him. He stepped in last minute to watch them over a holiday and it's just a great person all around. Thank you SO much!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their dogs while they’re away. I’m currently a nursing student, and the compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail that I’m developing in healthcare carry over into the way I care for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers quiet cuddle time, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently a nursing student with a flexible schedule,which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Because my classes vary, I’m able to provide lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Your pet will never feel like they’re just another booking—they’ll receive the love and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and one friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys meeting new friends. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily crate them if requested or keep them separated when needed. I offer care in both my home and yours—whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel at home and reduce any stress while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have rescued and cared for several over the years. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering oral medications and injections. My wife is a great support and shares the same passion for animals. She’s a marine biologist and she's worked in animal hospitals, farms, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, adding another layer of knowledge and experience to the care we provide. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m an Athletic Trainer and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off. My wife has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home, so dogs are rarely left alone for more than two hours. Because I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time, each guest receives plenty of individualized attention, playtime, affection, and care throughout the day. My home is quiet, fully fenced, and designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. There are no children or resident pets, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, have clean dog beds throughout the house, and can even sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to at home. I send daily photo and video updates, and you’re always welcome to message me anytime. Several veterinary hospitals and clinics are within a 5-minute drive if veterinary care is ever needed.
About: Pets are family members and deserve the best life. I have loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a child. I enjoy being with them, helping them, showing them love and care. I work remote from home and have flexibility. I’m off on weekends and at 5 pm during the week. I can take my laptop and work from anywhere. I also can use my lunch breaks to check in on your pet. My dogs have a fenced in yard and live the life of luxury inside our home. I am proud to say I’ve successfully trained them to be well behaved and a few tricks.

This is our second time using Amanda’s services and we already booked a third one for November. It’s so comforting to be able to leave our two little anxious dogs knowing they are in such good hands! Amanda’s personality is so calming and relaxed which is just what our dogs need! I highly recommend Amanda!
I have no words to express my gratitude to Cynthia! She was absolutely amazing! She took my request in short notice and helped me picking up my Penny, sent me pictures and updates of how she was doing, and she even accommodated me picking her up in a late hour after my flight. She is truly truly an angel! No doubt I would book with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medford on Rover is $42.59 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,811 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
