“Was our 1st time ever using Rover and was nervous about the process, but loved the option of letting our fur babies be at their own home. Heather met them for a “meet-and-greet” about a month before our vacation and was friendly, professional, and open to learning their routine. She went above and beyond in caring for my boys while we were away in giving detailed daily reports and pictures which showed they were very happy which made me happy. Definitely will use Heather in the future!”
About: I have had a dog most of my life, and I love taking care of my family and friends' dogs. I have a 10 year old daughter who loves animals and will give your dog lots of attention. ** MUST be kid friendly** I work from home most of the time so my schedule is flexible. I am able to provide regular walks, provide lots of play time and frequent bathroom breaks. I have a quite a large yard and live in a neighborhood with plenty of space for long walks. However, the yard is not fenced in. ** I only accept one dog at a time, unless they are currently living together.
“Melissa was super conscientious and detail oriented. She took great care of our kitty and even offered to come by and take our trash out while we were gone. Thank you Melissa! We will be rebooking for sure.”
“Kim has taken such excellent care of our wild maniac of a puppy! She makes sure he gets tons of love and snuggles whether we are away for the day at work or for a few days on a trip. She has also taken great care of our two cats and our house while we were away. Kim goes out of her way to do the little things like bringing in the mail daily. She is wonderful!”
About: Experienced working with a variety of animals- dogs, cats, chickens, goats, aquatic pets (turtles, frogs, fish, etc.), and reptiles. Experience as a vet assistant provides strong foundation in caring for medically complex and senior pets, comfortable administering medications. Currently care for my two pups and bearded dragon at home. I enjoy pet care as it helps to provide a purposeful break from school. Caring for animals feels like second nature with my schedule, and I’m able to seamlessly provide for your pets while maintaining my school schedule without any lapse in care. I provide a close eye on the animals that I care for, and due to my experience as a veterinary assistant I am able to recognize potential medical needs of your animal companions. I’m comfortable walking pets, supervising them in a fenced in yard, or any other method that your pet uses to go outside! While in your home, I maintain close proximity to your pets, and engage them in enriching activities during my time with them.
“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.”
About: Pet owner, pet lover! I have been sitting for friends and family since I was a teen. I also grew up around large dogs. I adopted a staffy mix in 2014 and we had 9 great years together before she passed. I’m not ready to adopt again, so until then, I’d like to help others. I’ve also had a few cats in the past and currently have 2! They are both tolerant of dogs and if they are uncomfortable, they will typically leave the room. My friends will bring their dogs when they visit me and my cats do well. I don’t have a yard per se but there is a lot of open space for frequent walks/potty breaks. My apartment complex is very pet-friendly. I am on the 2nd floor, so there are 2 sets of steps that may make it hard for older dogs. I often do overnights and stay with pets in their own home to maximize their comfort and keep their routines intact. I’m flexible based on your individual needs. One of my interests is in animal behavior. I have read many books (my favorites are from Patricia B. McConnell) My philosophy is we are training everyday. Consistency is important to me and for them, so I will ask many questions during the meet and greet stage to understand their needs and know how to best support you both. I look forward to meeting you both! My schedule is determined by the pets in my care and their schedules. I am currently freelance with WFH tasks and gig work and schedule my other jobs around my pet care calendar. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of open space to walk. With me, your pup will have 24/7 one-on-one attention. They are allowed on the furniture and will always be supervised. I also have room to set up a crate if they are crate-trained but most of the time they will play and hangout where I am. I have 2 cats that do well with dogs. The cat food is raised off the floor and litter boxes are located in the main living space and are scooped immediately.
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs, mainly small to medium because I had small dogs until recently. I sometimes Foster for a few rescues as well. I crate train them and help get them ready for adoption. I also have experience with puppies to Senior 🐶❤️ I work from home and able to board on weekends and possibly during the weeks as well. My 2 little dogs are laid back and sleep most of the day. I have a fenced in yard and have a playpen as well if needed. I work from home 8-5 and can keep an eye on my furry friends during the day and available after 5pm and weekends
About: As someone who grew up with dogs, caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for every dog I care for. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting with advance notice and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby entertained. I can also keep your fur baby crated if need be. There is also time for walks, and trips to the dog park for extra exercise and socialization.
“David did a phenomenal job in taking great care of our cats while we our away. He ensured that he got all the details needed to take care of our cats and provided us with all the latest photos and updates. This gave us so much peace of mind. Our cats felt so happy and comfortable with him.”
“Highly recommend Monica! My cat is a sufferer of the COVID telework anxiety and she took great care of him while I was on leave. I even know my cat was a happy customer by evidence of his toys everywhere and his happy full belly. Monica was great at providing me updates with pictures and notes on his care for that visit.”
“We are so thankful for the all care and time Meghan spent watching over our 3 dogs! As first time Rover users we had no idea what to expect and it was also the first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time! We loved all the detailed notes we received and Meghan really went above and beyond, as she noticed our puppy was getting a little stir crazy and took her on a walk during one of the drop ins. We felt like we could trust Meghan’s judgement in caring for our pups, thank you SO much!!!”
“She was my first sitter and will be my go to if I ever need one again! She is super easy to work with, even when your plans change & overall was just a seamless process with Leslie. Would definitely recommend!”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Medford Lakes on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,029 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Medford Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Medford Lakes stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Lakes. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
