“Liliana was absolutely amazing with my dog Mailo. You can tell right away how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She sent me photos during the visit which I really appreciated, and it made me feel even more at ease. Mailo came home so happy, relaxed, and full of energy from his walk, it was obvious he had such a great time. It honestly made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such kind and trustworthy hands. She was also very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite
About: hi! i'm a part-time grad student living in capitol hill and i've been surrounded by animals my whole life. i volunteer with seattle humane and have two rescue dogs, including one senior and one i've raised since he was a puppy who has anxiety and reactivity, so i'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and medical needs. (i promise i will get your pet to take their meds!) i’m available most times most days so please hit me up anytime to watch, check in, or walk your pet! i keep my calendar updated daily with any changes. my grad school classes also do not begin until mid-September, and those are only at night a few times a week. i'll treat your pet like my own, keep you updated while you're away, and of course send lots of cute photos. i have reliable transportation and would love to help with walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting anywhere in seattle!
“Adrian saved the day for us! We needed someone to take care of Bruce last-minute, and we were so glad that we could get someone that Bruce already knows and loves and is so professional. Thanks Adrian! I am a Rover employee.”
“Both my dogs love Lyric and Loki! I have an overly excitable frenchie and timid rescue puppy but they both look so happy when Lyric lets them out for a midday potty break. She also takes time to play with them so they’re nice and worn out before going back inside until I’m home from work. Highly recommend!”
“Allie was an awesome cat sitter for the weekend i was away. My younger cat, Mylo, even made friends with her, which is amazing because he’s usually nervous with new people. I came home to happy cats and a tidy home, and I’d gladly book her again.”
“She took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with cats. I really appreciated the updates and photos she shared, which gave me great peace of mind during my trip. My cat looked relaxed and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Vicky is very responsible and caring, she took care of my cat while I was away. Really recommend her and will definitely rebook. Thank you so much for everything you have helped!!”
“I recently had Mackenzie care for my four cats over a 6-day period, and I couldn't be more impressed. She went above and beyond in every way: Reliability & Responsibility: Mackenzie stayed on top of all the essentials; fresh food and water daily, spotless litter boxes, and consistent care throughout her visits. Communication & Peace of Mind: What really set her apart was the amazing pictures she sent! Getting regular updates with photos of my cats playing, napping, and enjoying themselves made the time away so much easier. It's clear she genuinely cares about keeping pet parents informed and reassured. Genuine Affection: Beyond the basics, Mackenzie gave my cats attention and affection. She played with them, petted them, and treated them like they were her own. Overall Mackenzie is exactly what you want in a pet sitter: responsible, caring, communicative, and trustworthy. My four cats are already looking forward to her next visit, and so am I! I will absolutely be booking Mackenzie again. If you're looking for someone to care for your cats with professionalism and genuine love, she's your person.”
“This has been my 2nd time using Alison and both times have been great. Alison is very communicative and detail oriented. My cats are always happy and well cared for when I return.”
“Gina once again took great care of Simon while we were out of town to get married, a wonderfully reliable person during a hectic travel time — at least we knew our kitty was in good hands. Gina made sure he had has his daily pill and brushes and snuggles and we will be requesting her again in the future :)”
About: I specialize in caring for small dogs under 15 lbs and truly understand their unique needs. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with shy, anxious, or sensitive pups. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved—whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior changes, and overall well-being. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. Since I prioritize a calm and consistent routine, I’m able to spend quality time with your pup, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Small dogs especially benefit from close attention, and I make sure they never feel left alone or stressed. I live in a spacious and very clean downtown condo, which provides a calm and comfortable environment—especially ideal for small dogs under 15 lbs. Since I keep a tidy and well-organized home, I’m able to pay close attention to your pup and ensure they feel safe and relaxed at all times. There is a small park within my building/community, so I can take your dog out for fresh air and playtime in a safe and controlled setting. I also have a 6 lb small dog who is very well-trained, gentle, and friendly with other dogs. I always introduce dogs carefully and prioritize safety and comfort. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated as well.
“Emily was wonderful with our cats, Pink and Smudge! She took great care of them over the 2 weeks, was always super responsive, and was incredibly accommodating with schedule changes. Highly recommend!”
“Alejandro was wonderful with Tiago! Alejandro is super responsible and took lots of adorable pictures of Tiago during his drop ins. Tiago was immediately comfortable with him and loves having his daily visits from his new best bud.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I grew up with a Dalmatian, shared 16 wonderful years with my beloved Pug, and now have an American Staffordshire Terrier that is 2.5 years old. Through training classes with my current dog, I've gained valuable knowledge in positive reinforcement, behavior, and handling. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. My own pup enjoys 3–5 walks each day, including one right after breakfast and another before bedtime to keep a consistent schedule. We also visit nearby parks for plenty of sniffing, exercise, and safe socialization with other dogs and people. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, I'm happy to provide visiting pets with the same dependable routine, attention, and affection they receive at home. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs to make the transition as stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. When introducing dogs to a new environment, I allow them time to explore and get comfortable before bringing out toys or other exciting items that could cause overstimulation or resource guarding. I provide plenty of supervision, maintain a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your pet feels happy, secure, and cared for while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Medina
Vicky was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! From the very beginning, she treated our pets with so much love, patience, and care. She sent us thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how happy they were while we were away. She quickly won both of our pets’ hearts, and it was clear they felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone who cared for them as if they were her own. We couldn’t recommend Vicky more highly, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Vicky, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
Toki was so so wonderful with our 3 month puppy! He played with him so well that puppy fell asleep for 3 hrs once Toki left - happy happy puppy! Toki was very respectful in our house, and took beautiful pics of puppy both times he came. We are excited to work with Toki again!
Julia came to visit my pup for the evening. I was so sad to leave him home after a long day at work and then an evening g outing, but having Julia stop by made all the difference. He was so happy to tell me about his new friend vs being sad and depressed for endless hours home alone. Julia did a great job providing photos and updates of their time together too, we will definitely book her again.
Sherry is awesome. We just moved from out of state and have a pretty old dog not used to this climate. He was scared when we left him, and we have always boarded him in the past so he was quite difficult. Sherry was patient, and over 2-3 DAYS of feeding a growling, snapping dog she saw kobe turn back into the cool old dog he normally is. I can’t say enough how easy and patient she has been with a tough situation.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Medina stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
