“Jeff was so kind and took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. Our girls can be very timid and they warmed up to him no problem. He came over and met with us on short notice, and was very professional. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again!!”
“Breanna was amazing. I’ve searched for years for a good dog sitter and am so happy to have found her. My dogs were happy and well cared for - she did a photo check in with us every day that we were gone. And our house was in perfect shape when we got home. Breanna is the best!”
About: I've been walking my dogs my whole life; I've had an Akita, two Shiba Inus, and one husky mutt (all raised from puppies). I have dealt with all of the care required. I've taken care of many of my family and friend's pets as well as worked at a dog day care "3 muttskateers" for half a year. Im currently interning at a nearby studio and would love to spend some of my free time walking or checking in on dogs. I live near Leicester and am willing to make drives to spend time with your furry friend. I am very patient with dogs, allowing them to take the time they need to do what they need to do. I am aware that most dogs have boundaries, and just because they are showing them does not make them badly behaved at all. If instructed, I also have a lot of experience being stern.
“Haylie was great! She kept me updated on how Fenway was doing and texted me any questions she had while watching him. She also sent me a picture while dog sitting. When we got home Fenway was happy! We look forward to having Haylie dog sit again!”
“Salina was very responsive and kept us well informed of the happenings while we were away. She maintained and kept the house clean and tidy while making sure that our kitty was well cared for and felt like she had a companion with her during our absence. We will definitely be booking with Salina again!”
About: I've had pets my entire life and feel very comfortable with them! I grew up cat sitting for my neighbors, family and friends. Any cat or dog I've met I love like my own! I would love to take care of your pet- young, old, big and small! I currently work a full-time job but work from home three days a week. I am available for an hour between 8-5 and am free any time after 5pm! I am in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I am free after 5pm on those days. Weekends are pretty flexible! I will provide your pet with cuddles, pets, feedings and groom them regularly! I will take your pup for walks and have play time to get their energy out so they can take a solid nap while you're out of the house! I will spoil your cat or dog with lots of attention so they don't miss you too much!
“Halle took excellent care of our dogs while staying in our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions, kept our house neat and tidy, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. We came home to a clean house and two happy pups!”

I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule and travel distance allow. My goal is to make finding reliable care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible! N/A to my household.

About: From neighbors to strangers, I’ve cared for other people’s pets for some time now. I love animals so much. Long walks cure my soul so having a dog by my side makes it even better!! I attended the Norfolk Aggie in Walpole for high school, so I’ve been around many different types of animals. It’s my passion to care for animals and make them happy!

I provide fur friends with regular exercise, a safe environment, consistent routines, necessary grooming, AND I always adhere to the specific needs and instructions provided by the pet owner!
“Jenna was terrific with my two Golden Retriever dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them and playing with them. They seemed very sad to see her leave after two days. Will definitely reach out again when they need sitting.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have taken care of all of my dogs since I can remember, but have also dogsitted for other peoples dogs as well. I am very energetic so I love to play, take dogs on walks, and meet to any of their needs! I am currently a full time student at Framingham State University, but I am able to have my car on campus, I have breaks throughout the day and early ending classes, so I am able to be flexible! I am unable to have pets come to my home, as I live in a dorm, but I am fine with an overnight stay on the dates I am available.
“After using Rover for the past 6 years with multiple different overnight sitters for our doodle, we had our best experience ever with Lindsay. She is by far the most professional sitter we have ever had. She stayed for four nights, starting relatively early on day 1 and ending relatively late on day 5. We received updates in the mornings and at night along with photos and videos. When we got home, the sheets were washed and the best was made, the house was spotless, and our dog was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Lindsay.”
About: Lifelong animal lover and wildlife rescuer, here for you and your pets About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and fish. I'm the person friends, family, and neighbors call when they need someone they trust with their pets, for walks, feeding, playtime, or just good company. I'm also the one who stops for hurt wildlife and brings them to the Tufts wildlife rehab clinic, so I stay calm in unexpected situations and I'm comfortable with animals of every temperament.

I treat every animal like my own. I have a large yard where dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time, plus a dog park just a 3-minute walk away for extra play and socializing. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I keep a close eye on every pup in my care.

Eliza stayed at our house with our dog for 6 days. We have a sweet dog who is reactive with other dogs and she really put our mind at ease knowing it was her who was there with him while we were away. Eliza is a great communicator, very professional, approachable, and highly qualified. We will definitely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone interested in quality pet care that puts your mind at ease!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Medway is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $89 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 Medway 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 Medway 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 Medway 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
