“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“We would HIGHLY recommend Mikayla to watch your pets and home. She spent a lot of quality time with our cat and dog and sent lots of pictures. We came home from our trip and the house was spotless. I knew even after our meet and greet that we picked a good one! Thank you, Mikayla!”
“Katy did a great job with my dog, who was dealing with an injury/health issues before I left for my trip. She was able to give medication and follow instructions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. She also kept my house in great shape during her stay. Thank you, Katy!”
“Luckily for us, Angela was available for a last minute care and housesit for our Lucy. Angela was absolutely wonderful! She bonded with Lucy easily, kept to her routines and made sure she was given a lot of attention. We returned to a spotless home and a dog that was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. We would not hesitate to use Angela again. Super communicative, flexible and clearly cares about animals!”
“This was our first time with Chuck and all went well! He reached out where clarification was needed and responded and shared updates, house was clean and Churro seemed happy :) Will definitely keep him in mind for the future.”
“We loved having our puppy, Lola taken care of by Tierney. It was a great piece of mind that Lola was in her own space and getting loves and so much interaction. We will def recommend Tierney to all our friends and family.”
“Isabella was great with our 3 month old puppy! She sent us pictures and was very communicative and gave us updates while we’re were away. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and we hope to work with you again soon!”
“Londyn is very kind and did a great job house sitting my dogs, sent updates daily. On return, the dogs acted like I was never even gone; exactly what you’d like to see. Thanks Londyn!”
“We were in search of a new dog sitter after our previous sitter graduated from college and left the area. After a brief meet and greet we decided to move forward with Kendra as our dogs were very comfortable with her from the time she entered our home. We received updates and photos when we were away for the weekend as well as a hand written note thanking us for allowing her to care for our dogs. Kali and Thundar appreciated the personalized dog treats that were left on the counter for them to enjoy. Kendra went above and beyond caring for our dogs and home. Our house was neat and tidy when we returned. (possibly cleaner than we left it). I plan to use Kendra for our 2 week vacation this winter. Thank you Kendra!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets and for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets, including overnight house sitting, walks, feeding, administering medications when needed, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust, so I’ll treat them like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout my stay. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule. My availability is flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or playtime, I’m happy to work with your routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I always strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care your pet needs. I respect your home as if it were my own and will keep it clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
“Jade is an absolute delight! My girl was well taken care of and Jade is incredibly conscientious with my home as well. Excellent, swift, transparent communicator. Would love to have her back!”
“Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!”
“Ciboney was great with our medically complex dog and our super shy cat! She stayed in our house and left it clean and orderly, went above and beyond connecting with my cat and making him less scared, and had no problem pilling my dog twice a day. Definitely worth her rate, and I wouldn't think twice rebooking with her.”
“Emerson was very communicative and shared regular photos of the pets, which I enjoy. He was also very helpful with some unexpected mail deliveries and minor house issues as well.”

Kaylee is an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She took great care of our standard poodle and 2 cats. She kept the house clean and is professional, respectful, responsible and timely in responses. She is also kind and friendly and asks all the necessary questions. Highly recommend!!!
Holly did amazing caring for our pets and home while we were away during a tough week with a heat wave and poor air quality. She communicated well and we appreciate that she cleans up everything (even washing sheets and towels). We will keep using Holly if she’s available.
Sophia stayed at our house with our two golden retrievers while we were out of town for a couple Days. She was wonderful!! She sent pics and took them on a walk. They were pretty tuckered out the evening we came home. Our house was in order and we appreciate her! Will be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her! 😃💗🐶🐶
I am thrilled to have met Victoria and have her spend a week with my dog, Penny. I have more trips coming up and finding someone to stay with my slightly reactive rescue girl has always made me anxious. Penny loved her time with Victoria and I was so comfortable knowing she was in good care when I was on spring break with my family. I left detailed instructions for Penny's care and Victoria asked very specific questions to clarify what my expectations were to meet Pennys needs and schedule.I received regular photos and reports that really put me at ease. So happy to have met someone so capable and nurturing.
We cannot say enough good things about Mollie! First time using a pet sitter for us. Mollie stayed at our home and took the best care of our three cats. She literally had my big bashful Maine Coon eating out of her hand. Literally 😹😹😹 Mollie knows how to work with cats and doesn’t force interaction which goes along way with them. Two cats were following her around basically the whole time she was here, a sleeping and snuggling with her. She sent plenty of photos and updates and was willing to accommodate anything we asked her to do. Tuna, Leo and Frank have been asking when we are going on vacation again so they can hang out with Mollie again😹

FAQs for House Sitting - Medicine Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medicine Lake on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medicine Lake. 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 Medicine Lake 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 Medicine Lake 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 Medicine Lake 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 Medicine Lake. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
