“They were super polite and considerate of my pets' special needs, got lots of great pictures and detailed reports while we were on our trip and my pets were very well taken care of!”
“Carly was amazing! Very flexible as I had to schedule the visits last minute. Excellent communication and she took lots of photos of my two boys! My one cat is very skittish and tends to hide around new people but he came out for her and let her give him pets! They clearly liked and trusted her. Very grateful to know they were taken such good care of while I was away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Aly is a sweet girl and the animals take right to her! She naturally loving personality made it easy for my dog to warm up to her right away, which is rare. I'm very excited about our new partnership and I know my doggy will be in good hands - especially when it comes to giving her medicine timely. THANK YOU!”
“Amelia did a wonderful job with our shy cat! 😻 She dropped by daily to clean the litter box, freshen water, play, and give wet food dinners. Amelia was very communicative and shared daily Rover Cards with pictures. We'd definitely book Amelia again and highly recommend her! 😌💝✨”
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
“Alison was great! One of our cats was going through a health thing right before we were scheduled to leave for our trip, but Alison made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. Both were healthy and happy when we returned!”
“Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Licorice! He managed to deal with our apartment instructions and make sure our pup had his trips to the bathroom! I look forward to booking with him again!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”
“As always Natalia has been amazing taking care of my cat Karl 🩵🩵 She is communicative, thoughtful and also took such good care of my place while I was out!”
“Lydia took amazing care of my dog, Lumi, while I was away. She was attentive, loving, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She made sure to take notes during her meet and greet and she followed everything in the notes I left for her. She even took the time to brush Lumi’s fur regularly, which I really appreciated. Lumi was clearly happy when I returned. I highly recommend Lydia and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Veda is very sweet, responsible, and prompt at responding. She went above and beyond taking care of my dog and I felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. Definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren did an amazing job of watching my cat for a week! She was easy to communicate with and she sent lots of photos and updates, I totally recommend her for any of your pet-watching needs.”
About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and have a real appreciation for their energy and personalities. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to fully focus on giving attentive, one-on-one care during each visit. I’m comfortable working with a range of dogs, from playful and energetic to more relaxed, and I enjoy making sure they get the activity, structure, and attention they need. I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent, reliable pet care throughout the day. I’m generally most available for walks and check-ins in the afternoons and early evenings during the workweek. I can also accommodate weekends when needed, especially for recurring clients or advance requests. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistent and safe care. During visits, I focus on keeping pets engaged, well-exercised, and cared for, while also respecting the client’s home and keeping things clean and secure. I’m observant of any changes in behavior and will communicate updates regularly for peace of mind. I have recently gained valuable experience caring for high-energy puppies and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attention.
“Sebastian is amazing. He cares for your pets like his own. Goes above and beyond. Pays attention to detail and is great with communication. Highly recommend for cat care and would book him again!”

Vicky is so caring and loving toward our pets! She has taken such great care of them every time we’ve been away. We always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her hands. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly treats our pets like her own. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust so much to look after them. We highly recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! ❤️
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
