“Andrea was great! She came over to meet the girls prior to staying, and made us feel at ease when meeting them and asking questions about their routines and habits. She stayed with the girls and was communicative and let us know how it was going and sent pictures while we were away!”
“Outstanding dog sitter! Great communication skills. Spent the evening with our elderly and deaf dogs and took great are of them. Loved the pics sent throughout the evening! Highly recommend.”
“We love Lacey! She did such a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens and our home. The updates were great and we had such peace of mind knowing the dogs were so well cared for!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our kitties and home over the weekend. She is reliable and communicated appropriately during the time she cared for the kitties and our home.”
About: I grew up around dogs whether it was at home, family members houses or friends houses. I have a lot of experience with dogs of every size. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog, Poppy, and learned everything I needed to know to care for her. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for a few years now and would love to care for yours. My dog usually accompanies me on longer stays if permitted. Pet care is very important and should always fit into any pet owner’s schedule so I have no problem fitting it into mine because they are family. Your furry family member will feel right at home in their own house so that should help keep any anxiety levels down while you are away and it will help with feeding, sleeping and bathing.
“Allea house/dog sat for 8 nights and everything was handled great! We got pictures and updates everyday. Allea had to handle a health issue with our dog and there was a problem with a smoke alarm which she solved. Our home was spotless when we arrived and our dog had been kept safe, fed and walked. We recommend Rover and Allea!”
“Ali house sat our dog, Joey, for a long weekend and was amazing. He even came early on the day that we left to spend some extra time with him. Our dog can be a bit quirky on walks, and Ali was great with him - taking him on hikes in Debs Park. We are grateful to have found Ali and hope to have him again soon!”
“Our 2 dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of. The house was exactly as we left it. Great communication before, during, and after the 3 night stay. We will definitely be using Remus again.”
“I cannot rave enough about Sarah! She truly cared for our dogs, giving them expert care and attention! She kept in contact so I did not worry while I was away! Is it possible to give 10 stars?”
“Patricia took incredible care of our home abd our pup Zoe. Zoe has medication and behavioral needs and Patricia took it all in stride. Communication was great and she really goes the extra mile with your pet while you are away. 10/10”
About: Grew up w/ small dogs and cats! All have been my favorite.😫 From bottle feeding week-old kittens to park-day trips, administering medication and probiotics. Baths for the pups are no problem, too! I am free twice a day at minimum for daily drops ins with optional extended bonding and play time, as well as weekend house sitting where your fur baby will be attended to for the remainder of the night! 🐾🐈🫶🏼 I use a baby gate as a “keep-out” tool if needed to be utilized in a specific area of your home. A provided crate for dogs that are destructive when left alone or in general would be appreciated!
About: People have asked me to care for their pets since I was just young. Mostly because I care and connect so easily with animals. But also because I live such a free lifestyle and available to do so. My goal is to be flexible and accommodate your pets every day schedule to alleviate anxiety and stress while you are gone, for them and for you! I should start taking more selfie's with the animals I care for ;-). My photo gallery shows some of the pets I have babysat over the years. I am happy to take on pets with special needs (i.e. medications, disabilities, meal accommodations, etc.). This winter I am able to be flexible and cater to the needs of what your pets schedule looks like. In my experience, it is much better to accommodate the schedule they currently have instead of trying to fit mine. My residence is currently not pet friendly, but I am happy to care for them at yours! In my experience, pets tend to do better in the environment they are familiar with. It keeps them at ease and relaxed while you are away.
“Lillie communicated well and timely. She sent pictures of our pets on the first day so we knew she'd arrived. She left the house in great shape and just as she found it. I would recommend her and hope to book her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, when I was younger I would rescue dogs off the street and get them well and made sure they were safe as I called family’s and shelters near us. I currently have a senior australian shepherd and 17 bunnies living in my backyard! I helped train 2 dogs ( a lab and a pit bull) for a family member in the last 4 years! I currently work a part time job which would give me plenty of time to care for your pet family! Outside of my job I love to hang out and enjoy the sun! I’ll make sure to care for your pet including playing, feeding, making sure there’s clean water, and cleaning litter boxes or the yard if necessary!
“She is kind and sent pictures. She took her for walks and played in the back yard with her balls. Coco really likes her. Kelli gave us comfort in leaving Coco with her. We would have her back again.”
About: I have had extensive experience house and pet sitting and I really enjoy it. My experience includes cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes including a pug that is paralyzed from the waist down and needs special care. I love animals but can't have one of my own quite yet, so let me help you care for yours! I would love to walk, play, care and give love to your pet. I am friendly, responsible and easygoing. I am comfortable with dogs of different temperaments and pets with different levels of care needed. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have also worked briefly on a ranch, making me comfortable with large animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
“Neil was so thoughtful and took great care of our home and our dog Apollo! We received photos & updates as we requested. Not only did the house look exactly as we had left it, but our dog was happy to see us and didn’t behave as though he was starved for attention—which meant Neil must have been super attentive to his needs. THANK YOU NEIL!!! We’ll definitely use you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
This is our first experience having a house sitter to watch our pets, and I couldn’t be more happy with Jinna. She was communicative, flexible, kind, and treated our pets like her own. We were a bit nervous having someone in our house while we were gone, but Jinna made it so easy for us and put our minds at ease. She even was able to give our cat his daily medication that he often struggles with! We will absolutely be reaching back out to her if we need a sitter in the future.
Sara did a GREAT job with our 3 dogs, two senior and a special needs pupper. She was able to win over our fearful dog and even understand our kinda complicated feeding regimen. Would definitely rebook with her and appreciate her compassion and kindness!!!❤️🐾❤️
Azriel/Kevin is amazing. Super thoughtful, communicative, and kind. He has a very easy going presence and is attentive to details. Our dogs loved him and he left our home in excellent shape. He went above and beyond in every way from pet care to cleaning and communication. He clearly really cares about animals. One of our dogs isn’t always comfortable around new people, and he was immediately trusting and relaxed around Azriel/Kevin. Highly recommend !! We will definitely rebook!
Kristina took excellent care of my fur babies! She was meticulous about following feeding and activity routines. When I returned home, my doggies were happy and well! Kristina is a kind person who genuinely loves dogs and that comes through in the way she cares for my pups.

The average cost of House Sitting in Medford is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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.

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.
