“Again, Emma is fantastic!! We were in Europe for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updates everyday. So reliable during unexpected weather and abnormal routine issues. We trust her completely and feel so confident that our furry babies are being loved and well cared for. She is the best!!”
“Andrea was caring and patient with our rescue Jolene, kept me informed throughout, and the house was spotless upon our return. I can see why her reviews are so positive, and will be booking with her again.”
“Atlas was great with our animals! Our Dog and Cat were both very well cared for. Atlas was a great communicator and sent us updates every day while we were gone, will definitely be utilizing her services again next time we are gone 😊”
“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!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with. She was respectful, kind, clean and attentive. She took care of our dogs and they quickly bonded to her while she stayed at our house. She communicated the whole time we were away and sent us pictures of their snuggles and activities. She was flexible and even stayed an extra day when our flight was cancelled and followed up to make sure the dogs were okay after her visit. I trust her with our home and dogs and would 100% book her again. It was such a relief to know they were loved and taken care of while we were away visiting family. Thanks for loving our little gremlins like your own Sandra!”
“Linda is amazing! We were out of town for a week and had to leave our precious dogs, Harley and Teddy, at home. It was our first time being away from them for so long, and it wasn’t easy. Linda cared for them with so much love, and the boys absolutely loved her. We even came home to a spotless house! We truly recommend her services. Thank you again, Linda — you’re the best! ♡”
About: I have worked with dogs for over ten years professionally, and with cats my whole life both personally and professionally. I was a trainer as well, and I've taken classes in zoology and canid biology and care. I can also do medications as that was part of my job working with dogs before. I am very conscious of pet care, I have two dogs, three cats, a snake, and four parakeets. So I am constantly already taking care of pet needs, I'm just trying to expand my reach. Animals are my passion, and I take care of them regardless of anything else. I would be respectful of the clients rules and their care for pets, I've done in home sitting before. I've also had multiple years experience working with different clients and never had a bad review.
“Gabrielle was wonderful while my husband and I were away for the weekend! She was very communicative and incredibly patient with our cat, who isn’t always the friendliest with guests. She was also very understanding of our dog Teddy’s anxiety and took great care of him, even when he had a few anxious accidents. Our home was exactly as we left it, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would be happy to have her watch our pets again!”
“Angelica was great! She communicated with us prior and during the house stay and set clear expectations. This was our first time doing house sitting and we were thrilled! Our pups are terrified of fireworks and she sent plenty of pics of them cuddled up with her relaxing. Overall a great experience with someone that you can tell loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Allea did an awesome job taking care of my animals! She did pet sitting and overnight at my place and was soo tidy you would never know she was here! She sent regular updates and pictures and clearly gave them a lot of care and affection. Will 100% book her again!”
“Kristen was fantastic! She was so kind, wonderful with our cats, left our home very clean and tidy, and she sent wonderful pictures. I felt so comfortable with her in our home and with our cats and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Remus was wonderful! Very patient with my anxiety at handoff lol. Remus took extra care with both our dogs, including my little one’s daily oral medication. We received pictures throughout the stay and regular check ins at mealtime. We returned to a clean space. We will definitely work with Remus again!”
“Austin was very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable leaving my elderly dog and home in his care and he did a wonderful job - lots of pictures and snuggles and walks. I came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
“Kandice was prompt and took good notes when we first met. She asked great questions and was kind and responsible. While taking care of Freyja she was a great communicator, positive, and helped her feel cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I’m an animal lover who has taken care of and loved dogs my whole life. My family members and friends rely on me for petsitting, feeding, walking, cleaning, and playing with their dogs when they are busy or away from the house. I have experience caring for senior dogs. I love all types of dogs and i’m passionate about taking care of animals! Please no puppies under 1 year. I’m a recent college graduate who has a very flexible schedule. As long as you schedule with me 2 days ahead of time I’m available whenever you need weekends and weekdays! early mornings, late nights or overnight. I understand it is vulnerable letting a stranger in your home however I make sure security and safety are my top priorities. I am able to feed your pet, take them for a walk, give them medication, clean them (or clean up after them), play with them, or just keep them company. I am a detail oriented person and will follow every step you give me exactly.
“Sarah was our first non-family pet/house sitter. It couldn’t have been any easier for us. Sarah communicated thoughtfully and often. Our house was clean and our dogs were loved. We appreciate her and will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for years and treat every pet like my own. I have two friendly dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I will stick to your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and always send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday. I am available for pet sitting overnight Wednesday through Sunday. I’d be happy to do mid day drop in if needed. I get a long lunch and I could check in any time. I’d also be available for walks in the evening, weekend mornings and evenings as well. For drop-ins or care in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and lots of attention. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
Sarah's care for our dog and our house was nothing short of amazing! First, we were very nervous dog parents, having a rescue dog that had been quite timid of people, we didn't know how well a pet/house sitter would work out. But from the start, our pup liked Sarah. Sarah provided us daily updates and photos to ease our minds during our two week absence. It was abundantly clear that our dog was getting stellar care. Walk time, play time, brushing time, cuddling time. And we might add, our dog was looking for Sarah after we returned home. We also picked up some good ideas from Sarah on dog behavior. If that wasn't enough, our home was cared for beautifully. We are so happy we found Sarah, and very grateful for the care she provided! Sarah is very professional, responsive, and loving. We look forward to hiring her again.
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.
Austin was very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable leaving my elderly dog and home in his care and he did a wonderful job - lots of pictures and snuggles and walks. I came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.
Emma is an exceptional pet sitter! She responded promptly to our request for a three day/2 night stay and was kind enough to stop by ahead of time to meet us and our dog and two cats. A warm and caring person, she went out of her way to lovingly interact with our “kids,” sending text updates and even sharing some cute pics and videos. We look forward to having Emma petsit for us again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible, caring, and affordable pet sitter.
Jamie asked great questions, showed up on time, and was very patient with our picky senior Chihuahua, even getting him to eat on our first day away which is rare. She took good care of our house and left it very clean, we'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Medford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medford on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 243 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:
- 100% 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.
