“Jennifer booked last minute. Went out of her way to meet my meeds. Was promptly responsive and timely to the appointments scheduled. She also made recommendations and showed genuine care and concern for my doggy. 😁”
“Andrea was a pleasure to work with! Punctual, reliable, communicative, kind and flexible. My dogs really dogs a liking to her. I’ll definitely be using her services again! :)”
“Emma was the bright candle on my Thanksgiving and birthday week! I became suddenly ill and had to find help fast! Emma was available and worked with me at the last minute to secure care for my 4 cats while I recovered. She is very sweet with my kitties as they are very shy. Great job Emma!”
“Gabby is amazing! My kitties can be timid, but they warmed up to her immediately, even during the Meet & Greet! She took such good care of our home and cats while we were gone. I highly recommend her services! I will absolutely be using her again in the future 😊 Thanks Gabby!”
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!
“Louis was very professional and incredibly easy to work with. Our cats and tortoise were well cared for. Louis communicated clearly with us while we were gone, and even caught an error I made in the booking times. He obviously has an eye for detail and cares about the pets he watches. Thank you, Louis! We will definitely reach out again to book in the future!”
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.
About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and even had up to 7 dogs at one point in my childhood home! I’ve always loved having pets and I even used to pet sit for neighbors frequently. I’m currently not working so I’m able to pet sit Monday-Sunday! I’m open to following specific routines that you have for your pet. I’m also available to do overnights if needed :) I do have a fenced in yard where I can supervise your pet. I currently have no personal pets of my own. I love to maintain their schedule as I know it could be hard for your pet to be in a new environment.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a genuine love for animals! Being around pets throughout my life, along with having an aunt who trains therapy dogs, has given me a strong appreciation for animal behavior, patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My background as a teacher has also helped me develop skills in understanding behavior, adapting to different personalities and needs, and building trust through patience and clear communication. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with cats as well and understand that every pet has different routines, boundaries, and preferences. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needing a little extra time to warm up, or happiest with a calm companion, I want them to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m dependable, attentive to details, and happy to follow your pet’s established routines and any special instructions. Most of all, I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! I work full-time as a teacher and also support local music nonprofits on Sundays, so I’m thoughtful about the commitments I take on and the time I can dedicate to pet care. I plan to accept bookings that fit comfortably within my schedule, allowing me to be dependable, present, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Rover is a wonderful opportunity for me to make more room in my life for something I genuinely love: spending time with animals! Caring for pets, especially getting out for walks and enjoying the companionship of dogs, would be a rewarding balance to my work in education and music. My availability will vary around my work schedule, but when our schedules align, I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I would never take that responsibility lightly. I have cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep their routines consistent, pay attention to the little things, and respect their individual personalities. Some cats want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer to do their own thing until they’re ready to come to you. I’m happy to meet them where they are! For dogs, I love the opportunity to get outside, go for walks, play, and give them some extra companionship while their people are away. I’m also happy to follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I would care for your pets in their own home whenever possible, keeping their routine familiar and their space tidy. I’m happy to send updates and photos, too, so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. Above all, I want your pets to feel safe and cared for, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: I volunteered at the local humane society for 4+ years and fostered puppies and adult dogs for the shelter. I also used to work for a dog walking company and have had my own dogs my whole life! I just graduated college, so I am free to love on your pet anytime! I also am active and love having a buddy to come on walks with me. I would treat a clients pet as my own, treating it with the love and attention it deserves. I would treat a clients dog with respect and be attentive to its needs.
About: My name is Robyn. I’m energetic, athletic, and love pets. I am looking for a flexible way to supplement my income. I have plenty of experience with dogs and have reliable transportation. I am available on short notice and will have very flexible hours in June, July, and August. I am open to sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes and can accommodate the pet’s needs by providing your pets with medication and taking your pet for a walk as well as responding to any other need that may arise. I hope that you’ll trust me to take care of your precious furry friends! I’m am very flexible and available on the weekends - especially holiday weekends. During the weekdays, I am at work from 8am to 4pm and home in the evenings. However, my schedule is much more flexible during the summer months. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly and playful dog (Jimmie) who can keep your pet company. I will give your dog a lot of love and attention!

Courtney came over to meet me, my kitten and dog and we all really liked her so I booked her two days later. She is so kind, punctual, and detailed in her rover follow up to let me know how everything went. I also didn’t know you could show how long/ far you walked the dog! No one has ever did that for me on rover. Very very cool! My pets were very comfortable with her and so was I!
Camilla was a godsend. I arranged her to relieve a cousin who was suddenly stuck w her partner in the ICU and no-one to watch her dog-child, Gracie. Camilla swooped in and then again on a moment's notice to take Gracie, a very strong german shepherd, and bring peace to a tough situation. Camilla was quick to respond, kind & an amazing dog handler. She also sent me photo's so i could breathe a sigh of relief from afar. I would trust Camilla with anything/anyone.
Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cat. She was very responsive and provided pictures every visit. Our cat is shy and takes awhile to open up but she was comfortable enough with Kelsey to come out of her hiding places. We will definitely book Kelsey again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Medford is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 331 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medford. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 .
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.
