“Allie was truly a God send! Our dogs were so well taken care of. Allie kept us updated entire time with videos and updates. She is so organized and very thorough with the particulars. She also kept the house spotless! This made our quick trip so worthwhile! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Kate was an absolute gem! My pups loved her and she helped me in a pinch situation. Kate provided Excellent communication and ongoing pictures and videos. We would use her again no question!”
“AnnaClaire did a fantastic job caring for our pup! She asked good questions, made time to drop in and meet our dog beforehand, took our advice for walks, and kept her fed and happy. The house was in perfect condition when we came home. We'd gladly have AnnaClaire back anytime!”
“Peyton did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs is timid and she seemed to have gained his trust and done well with them. She’s also great at communicating and providing updates when needed.”
“Michelle was fantastic! I always have anxiety about leaving my fur babies with sitters. Michelle put all of anxiety at ease. I got daily pictures and updates. My doggos always looked happy, content, and well cared for, and that's all I could hope. She followed the dogs routine, and I think they enjoyed having a friend come over. I will definitely be using Michelle again!”
About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m excited to provide dependable, attentive care and earn your trust through excellent communication and reliable service. I do work full time and am looking for a side gig, I am able to do evening walks or weekend walks if needed and I love walking. I always make sure the pet is comfortable and check in on them. I try to make sure the pet has all of its needs fulfilled and keep a look out for certain behaviors to make sure they’re not in distress.
About: I have grown up with my own dog my whole life. Besides my own pup, I have experience watching serval different breeds of dogs (often very energetic). 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.
“James was absolutely amazing!!! Took great care of my senior cat Vino who has asthma. I can't recommend James enough! I felt such relief and comfort knowing Vino was in good hands while I was traveling.”
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.
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾
“Cheryl was so sweet to my animals and provided professional quality photos each day!! I have very nervous chihuahua and she was very patient with his neurotic tendencies and made me feel at ease that they were well taken care of. I wouldn’t even tell she had been here she left the place so clean!! Highly highly recommend- will definitely use her service again. Your babies are in good hands with Cheryl!”
“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.”

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.
Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️
Avery is super friendly and was very attentive to our pets. It was our first time leaving our 10 week old puppy and our 6 month old kitten as well as our first experience with Rover. We were very pleased with the care Avery provided and would highly recommend them. The updates and pics throughout the day were the best!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medina on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 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 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
