“Taylor was so great with my Cleo! She was available on short notice and was willing to meet us prior to going away for a few days. I was really worried how Cleo would react, he is an older dog and protective, but she handled him so very well! Thank so much Taylor! I will be reaching out again!”

About: With more than 24 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all ages and kinds—dogs, cats, birds, and ferrets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer a full range of flexible services, including overnight boarding, in-home pet and house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and feeding services. Whether your pet thrives in their own home or enjoys a cozy stay elsewhere, you can trust that they’ll receive attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. My approach is calm, patient, and detail-oriented, with a strong focus on maintaining routines and minimizing stress. From energetic dogs to independent cats and more specialized pets like birds and ferrets, I’m committed to providing care you can feel confident about—and your pets will feel comfortable with. I am available daily, as well as for overnight stays to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I also offer medication administration, as needed. I do offer boarding services in my home. I have 3 fur babies that will gladly entertain and keep your pet(s) happy and active while you are away. We have a great neighborhood, with sidewalks for easy strolls during the day.

About: Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes dogs are family. ❤️ While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a variety of situations. I’ve had dogs for many years, cared for my sister’s dogs, helped with the arrival of multiple litters of puppies, and have experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve also recently fostered dogs and regularly walk dogs at my local animal shelter, where I get to spend time with dogs of different personalities, ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. I especially have a soft spot for rescue dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different. Some pups want an energetic adventure and lots of exploring, while others—including senior dogs—may need a slower pace, extra patience, or a little more TLC. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are and give them the individual attention they need. I genuinely love being outdoors, hiking, walking, and spending time in nature, so getting outside with a dog is something I truly enjoy—not just a job. My goal is for your dog to get exercise, attention, companionship, and plenty of love while you’re away. And I’m a cat lover, too! 🐱 I currently have cats of my own and would be happy to provide cat drop-in visits as well. Whether they need food, fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, or simply some company and attention, I’m happy to help. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. ❤️🐾 My work schedule changes from week to week, so I don’t have the same days off every week. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my available days and times, so what you see on my calendar reflects my current availability. If you have a specific date in mind that isn’t showing as available, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do! 🐶🐱❤️ Trust means everything when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I don’t take that trust lightly. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Safety always comes first. I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and be mindful of their individual needs and surroundings. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your furry family members are doing while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in to care for your cat, my goal is simple: keep them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved—and leave you with peace of mind. 🐶🐱❤️

About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean. I am currently only working part time so I have tons of time to help these animals have some fun while their parents are away! I have a very large yard and live nearby to parks. I have a crate if needed and will be willing to accommodate whatever is needed.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and couldn’t imagine a life without them. I spent 2 years working at a doggy daycare and then decided to go to school to become a dog trainer! If you would like any information on training, that can definitely be discussed! I am also Pet First Aid and CPR certified. While I do take dog training clients throughout the week, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a run and a great neighborhood for walks! Whether your home or mine, I will always abide by your wishes. For example, if your pet is staying at my house and you do not what them on furniture, I will definitely make sure I stick to that for you!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently have a yellow lab, Ranger, who will be turning three in September—he’s truly my whole world! I’ve raised him since he was a puppy and have put a lot of time and care into his training, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are. I also have a 4-month-old puppy, River, so I’m very familiar with the energy, attention, and structure that puppies need. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve taken in foster dogs over the years, which has given me experience working with a wide range of personalities—from playful pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Daily walks are one of my favorite activities, and I love making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or someone patient and experienced, I will treat them like my own—with lots of love, care, and attention to their unique needs. I’d love to meet your pup! I work a 8-5 so I could walk before work at anytime. I could also walk at 6 or 7 during the week after work! I love a morning walk with a pal. With a lab I know all about it a ton of energy and how to handle it. We have worked a ton on leash and he is 60 lbs.

About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those with specific routines. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure each pet feels secure and comfortable while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits, walks, and basic care like feeding, bathing, and litter box maintenance. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Pets are not left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate most feeding, potty, and medication schedules. I also offer flexible pickup and drop-off times when my schedule allows. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions. I can separate pets if needed and always prioritize safety. For drop-in visits, I am respectful of your home and ensure your pet is cared for reliably and consistently.

Lexie was such a great help and so friendly! She stopped in a couple times to check on my 3 dogs to ensure they could be let out and fed. I am so grateful to have found her, especially since it was last minute. I appreciated her stopping by to come meet us and the dogs prior to her visits. Definitely will be using her services in the future!!

Another fantastic experience! She was able to accept my booking at the last minute and still went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She was reliable, caring, and made sure my girl was well taken care of. I really appreciate her flexibility and the excellent care she provided. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

Cheryl is absolutely Amazing!! Lola LOVES her and so do I. Her drop in visits this last time, were requested literally the evening before I needed her. She responded within 90 minutes and accepted. Lola was ill and needed frequent potty breaks. It alleviated my concern about Lola's comfort during the daytime while I was at work. Cheryl always plays with Lola, spends time sitting with her and changes her water, even if she isn't required to feed her; just on a drop in visit. Lola and Leo love having her stay overnight when I am out of town. Cheryl is extremely attentive to them both. She plays with them and cuddles; which they both love a great deal. She is very thoughtful of me as well, and she sends pictures the entire time, so I know what is happening. I never worry that they are lonely or not eating when they are in her care. Cheryl keeps a key to my home at all times. In the event that I have an emergency and need to leave town or can't make it home to care for my pets, I can contact her. She has access and can take care of my fur babies. She is a Treasure!!

Katie is absolutely amazing. She took such great care of my dogs over the New Year, including multiple visits per day — and even came out during a blizzard without hesitation. Communication was excellent, I felt completely at ease while I was away, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I got home. I’m so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication, especially over a holiday. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter and will absolutely be using her again.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Medina

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Medina on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 per visit. 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 2,251 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Medina. 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.

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 Medina 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Medina with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medina. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
