“Allie was an excellent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd Dog Hero! She was attentive to his needs, took him on regular walks multiple times a day, walked him to the Dog park down the road and let him run and play, and sent me regular updates and photos of their time together. Allie is detail oriented and will follow instructions to the letter. Her and Hero played so hard while she dog/house sat with one of his favorite toys that the squeaker broke out of it and she went out of her way to buy him a close replacement for it as well as a bag of treats which she absolutely didnt have to do but Hero and I appreciated very much! I would highly recommend Allie's services to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was uneasy at first having a stranger stay at my home to watch my dog, but after seeing how comfortable Hero was around her within minutes of meeting her it gave me some peace of mind and Allie is absolutely worthy of trust and your business. Thanks for all you did for Hero and I Allie and I wish you nothing but the best I'll definitely be in contact next time I need someone to help with Hero!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 8. I’ve always helped with walks, baths, feeding, and vet appointments. I have 3 years of experience training my own dog since he was a puppy and am happy to help train a new puppy. I also have experience caring for reptiles and other small animals such as guinea pigs, bearded dragons, crested geckos etc. I currently work full time but I am free before 11:30am and after 9pm for any drop ins. I have Tuesdays and Saturdays set off so I can give my full attention to any furry friends that come my way! I am willing to drop by for check ins, walks, feedings, and play time in the mornings and evenings. I have over 10 years of experience walking dogs. I will take my time to play with and give my upmost attention to any animals that I watch. I am willing to come to my clients home to care for any animal. Unfortunately I cannot board dogs in my house currently. I also am willing to do a small 30 min-1hr meet up so I can meet the animal and you!

As well as, I have taken good care of a few very cute kitties I work a part time job where I may be away for 4-5 hours max but have a flexible schedule and will make sure to find time to help your pet feel well loved! As well as my evenings are ways free. I have good awareness of surrounding and can take good care of your pup while on plenty of walks and make sure they get the care they need.
“This was our second time to use Chloe to watch our pups and she, once again, went above and beyond! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing Chloe was taking great care of our four legged family members.”

I'm retired and looking to take care of pets walking or checking up on them ,let me know what you need. I am very dependable.

About: I have been in a dog family my whole life! Labs at my dads & many different rescues. Pittbulls, chihuahuas, and everything in between. There is not a puppy (all dogs are puppies to me lol 🐾🐕) that I have not found a bond with. I am respectful and loving to them, their parents and space. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 2 year now, with 300+ visits under my belt. For me personally, my world is my/all dogs, my/all children, myself/all women, and nature! We are out almost every day enjoying life and being of service to others. I would love to become fast friends with you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time at a women's shelter for domestic violence on the weekends. I am home with my daughter and my teenage son for the summer. I'm in and out of the house a couple times a day, doing dog walks or taking kids places. But my availability is widely open and pretty typical with a wonderful support system. I can usually make anything work. I have a fenced in yard with a wonderful dog door in our laundry room. They have an easy ramp to go in and out of our backyard, with 2 friendly dogs to hang out with our 12lbs lil boy, almost 2 years old and the most gentle mixed lab/shepard/collie, six years old sweet girl. Our yard is shady, with a lot of big trees, plenty of room to roam around! Plus our neighbor dogs are our best friends too.
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has multiple years of care experience. I have a puppy so I am aware of the special care needs they may have. I also specialize in cats. I am flexible when it comes to cancellations and care times. I work second shift so I am able to provide care in the mornings or late at night. Late night care does not bother me, as I am a night owl! I am able to board, however I would prefer cats or small dogs. In my spare time I love to exercise, so I would love to take your pup on a long walk! I love animals, so rest assured your friend will be in loving, caring hands when you are away! I work overnights, so I am able to provide care in the mornings, during the day, and in evenings. I am flexible when I need to be! I reside in an apartment and have a large, unfenced yard. Perfect for supervised playtime! I have 2 friendly cats that would love to keep your pet company.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about a year officially, but grew up with animals. I have experience caring for smaller dogs to medium size dogs as well as cats and pocket pets. I am a massage therapist so my schedule is quite flexible. I am mostly able to do afternoon and evening shifts (weekdays and weekends). Sometimes able to do Saturday mornings depending on my schedule. I utilize public transit and am happy to come and stay at a clients house. I’ve done this a few times with clients and it helps especially with anxious pets to have someone at home vs just popping in for a walk.
“Cassandra was wonderful! She connected immediately with Charlie which was very important to us and the first step in our confidence level. We usually have some reservations driving off, but we felt very comfortable and secure leaving our boy this time. She kept us informed and sent many pictures. We will definitely use Cassandra again and know our fur baby is in good caring hands. Thank you Cassandra!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys etc. I have always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being that trusted person with others fur babies. I truly see pets as family and treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I would give any person. I will treat your dog like family — because that’s exactly what they are. I currently have a very flexible schedule and would truly love to make caring for your fur baby a special part of my daily routine. I am available for dog walking or in-home care services. While I can’t bring pets into my home due to having a cat, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment often helps pets feel more relaxed and secure. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your home, gates, and fencing are always secure while your pet is in my care.

About: I have a ton of experience with animals in the past. My family used to own a bulldog business, where I helped take care of their dogs, and give them unconditional love. Now I have 3 dogs of my own. Dogs are absolutely my favorite animal, I am a great pet-sitter because I love all animals, and we always become the best of friends. I just graduated from Kent State University with my BA in American Sign Language. I am deaf, and I know ASL, fluent English, and I have great communication skills with all types of people. Please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything else about me! Juggling my studies, family, and my Papillons is quite the routine, but it’s all part of the day’s work. Morning cuddles and care for my dogs amidst the family hustle set a positive vibe for the day. It’s a busy life, but caring for my dogs blends seamlessly into it, filled with love and joy. They’re more than pets; they’re family. Caring for pets involves understanding their specific needs and routines, whether it’s in my home or a client's. This means regular feeding, exercise, and affection, plus any special care required for their health or breed, like my Papillons. It’s all about ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.
“Jessica was available for a last minute sit with our pup Wrigley. She was easy to communicate with, kind & treated our pup and home with love. She was great and we would absolutely have her back in a heart beat!”

“Samantha was GREAT! We were away for a week and she took great care of my Bailey who is extremely spoiled and a very picky eater. Samantha did a better job at getting her to eat than I can. She treated my baby like her own, I know this because I have a camera in my kitchen so I could see Bailey. As we all know dogs know good people…and Bailey would get just as excited to see her as she does us when we come in the door. I highly recommend Samantha. This was my first time using Rover and I would again. FANTASTIC job Samantha! Thank You!!!!”

“My dog, Bogey, is a nervous goldendoodle who has a hard time trusting people. He also has separation anxiety. I was very cautious about who would be watching him overnight. Donavyn was very patient with Bogey and earned his trust quickly. He was not only great with our dog, he was very respectful in our house and cleaned up after himself and about. Bogey felt very safe with Donavyn. If you are looking for someone to walk, drop in, or overnight pet sitter, I highly recommend Donavyn.”

“Allyce did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat while my boyfriend and I were away for nearly a week. They loved her! They played and snuggled together which is just what they needed. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates along the way. Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medina
Shannon did a great job taking care of our dogs. She handled their somewhat complicated schedule well, and the dogs were clearly comfortable with her while we were away. She left our house neat and tidy, and followed all of our instructions. We really appreciate her professional care.

Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two Frenchtons, Milo and Franklin while we were away on vacation. During our initial meet and greet, she asked thoughtful and thorough questions about their routines, personalities, and habits, which immediately made us feel comfortable entrusting our dogs to her care. While we were gone, Kat checked in twice a day and shared plenty of photos, giving us peace of mind and letting us know our boys were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. She also left our home just as clean as we left it, which we greatly appreciated. We would absolutely book with Kat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter! She is great.

Jennifer helped us so we could take our vacation with multiple visits during some nasty weather. I can't say enough about her diligence in making it out to our home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or rehire her she sent multiple pictures and dealt with unforseen events. Thank you Jennifer Tom and Eileen.

The average cost of House Sitting in Medina is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,221 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medina. 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 Medina 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 Medina 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
