“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!”
“Karen was wonderful! Our dog sitter fell through at the last minute on the day of my son's wedding. I needed someone to watch my dog and my daughter's dogs in our hotel while we attended the wedding and reception. Karen came to the rescue! She had a very calming presence. She dealt with my small dogs fears and quirks, and she even took on the ring bearer dogs (my son's dogs) when they got overwhelmed and needed to leave the venue last minute. Thank you, Karen, for helping us make it through that special day!”
“Allison is absolutely fantastic. Our 4 year old dog adores her and so do we! She’s extremely communicative, very reliable and goes above and beyond to help us care for our pet. Simply the best sitter and caregiver you could find!”
“Isabella is an amazing pet sitter. She stayed at out house and provided loving care to our aged dog and fiesty cat. She provided pictures and updates so we always knew are pets were doing well. Our house and pets were in great shape when we arrived back home. She is great!”
“Angela did a great job taking care of my Pup! She was very responsive, had already handled a house task by the time I sent a request/reminder, the house was clean upon our return, and most importantly, my Pup got out for his walks and was well cared for while we were gone. Thanks again Angela!”
“Katy did great with Kirby and she sent us updates while staying at our house, which we appreciated. We got lots of pictures which was very reassuring too. We would definitely book Katy for future stays and I think Kirby would be happy to see her again!”
“Kelly was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she helped ease my first time jitters. Our dog has separation anxiety and she was available to house sit and be there the majority of the time. She sent videos and photos for our kids and us to see. She walked and played outside a lot keeping our dog active and thus calmer.”
“Melanie house/dog sat for us for a long weekend and she was great! She was communicative and sent a daily update with pics. Our pups seemed very comfortable with her and we would definitely ask her to sit for us again! :)”
“Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!”
“Rowan was awesome taking care of both our dog and home over an extended weekend. She was very responsive and a joy to communicate with from beginning to end. We're so happy to have found her and will absolutely continue call on her for future needs.”
“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.”
“Olga is a fantastic pet sitter! Olga stayed at my home for the second time, and was a great experience. She kept me informed about the status of my pets and responded quickly to my text messages, my house was in perfect condition when I got home. Can't say enough about her. I will definitely use her again!!”
“Jade is a wonderful rover sitter. She took great care of our senior Pomeranian and our home while we were out of the country on vacation. She even drove us to the airport and back. We will definitely work with her in the future as long as she continues to work with Rover.”
“It was great that Kristen was willing to come meet the dogs before her stay. She is definitely a dog person and I think the girls could tell. Kristen consistently kept in contact with us with comments and photos. We don’t travel very often, but we will ask for Kristen again.”
“Tiffany did a great job taking care of my corgi, Leo! She came over in advance of my 9-day trip to meet us and it was easy to see she had an immediate great rapport with Leo. Each day I was on my trip, she gave him plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I could tell that Leo really enjoyed his time with her. Tiffany was very communicative throughout my time away. She checked in when she had questions and sent pictures and videos so that I could see all was going well. I would recommend her to others that are looking for someone to take care of their dog!”
“Madelyn was such a perfect fit for us! She was able to instantly connect Nico which made him feel at ease. We loved getting a couple updates each day as well (which made us feel at ease 😀”
“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!”
“5 stars! Chuck was fantastic. His communication was clear and timely, and it was obvious he genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dogs. I came home to happy pups and a tidy house—exactly what you hope for with a sitter. I only have positive things to say about him and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medicine Lake
Hannah did an awesome job with Zoey, we could tell she was well cared for. Zoey is shy and a little stand-offish but she warmed up to Hannah right away. Hannah also did a great job taking care of the house, she left everything nice and neat. We would absolutely hire her again.
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,447 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
