“Highly Recommend Madeline! We had such a wonderful experience with Madeline! This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a little nervous—especially because our dog can be somewhat challenging. Madeline was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly timely, responsible, and attentive. We really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the overnight stay—they were just the right amount and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. The photos she shared were an especially nice touch, and we loved being able to see our dog happy and comfortable while we were away. Madeline handled everything so professionally and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of animals. By the time we returned, we felt completely confident that our dog had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. Madeline was wonderful, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Zan was responsive and communicative with sweet updates and cute pictures. We appreciated how much outdoor time she had with our pup. House was as clean as we left it. Thank you Zan.”
About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
“Sarah was fantastic and frequently sent me photos of my dog doing activities with her! This was my first time using Rover, and she helped make it a stress free experience. I came home to a very tidy house and I will be booking with her again in the future :)”
“Ana took such wonderful care of our two dogs and one cat while we were traveling! She played with them, took them for walks, and shared lots of pictures. I honestly think they had a better time with her than they have when we're home! Ani, thank you so much!”
“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”
“Marcie charmed my challenging dog in minutes. I received multiple updates and now they are best friends. Highly recommend! I will have her housesit again.”
“Liliana was wonderful with our dog Luna! She clearly loved and cared for her as if she were her own. Luna was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time with Liliana. We really appreciated the excellent communication and the peace of mind knowing Luna was in such good hands. We would recommend Liliana and would be happy to have her care for Luna again!”
“Lauren was a true joy to work with from start to finish! Great at communication, arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about our pups routine and left our home spotless; she even left a lovely human treat for US when we arrived home! Murphy took to her caring personality immediately which is not his usual M.O. when meeting new folks. He was obviously well cared for and loved on while we were away. And bonus, she recently graduated from veterinarian school so we were confident she could handle any situation that arose. We’d give her 10 Stars ⭐️ if we could!”
“Justelle took great care of our dog and house during our 2 week vacation. Very good communication, plenty of updates that we really appreciated. Our dog loved Justelle - got a lot of pets and nice walks!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”
“Yali and Michael were absolutely incredible with our dog during a really stressful time. Our pup came down with an infection right before our trip, which meant an emergency vet visit, a cone, and antibiotics on top of us trying to get out the door. They were so patient with both us and him, and didn’t hesitate for a second to take on the extra responsibility of managing his medications and care. They gave us thoughtful, consistent updates on how he was feeling, how his mood was improving, and the different ways they were helping him through those first mopey days. They sent tons of sweet photos, stayed by his side when he was scared and hurting, and made it clear he was never alone. What could have been an incredibly stressful trip felt manageable because we knew he was in such good hands. We are deeply grateful for them and would trust Yali and Michael with our dog again in a heartbeat.”
“I would say Anatolii and Svitlana for our super anxious dog was a pure blessing. They were meticulous about Simba's walks and feeding . Our dog is super anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people . Simba started warming up to them and eventually started getting on bed with them during the period of care. They understand dogs and will cater their care as per the dogs needs. They were sweet to accommodate Whatsapp video calls when we were in India and also sent multiple photos. I would say knowing we can reach out to Anatolii and Svitlana again for Simba is very comforting . I will highly recommend them for any dog parents.”
“Timothy was great! We found him communicative, punctual, and polite. We appreciated the pictures of our pets while we were away and his flexibility made our trip more relaxed. Thanks!”
About: I have 9 years of dog care experience. My customers are always happy with my work and keep returning for my services. I will take good care of your babies and give them all the love and affection while you are away. I will leave your place as clean (or cleaner) as you left it. I'm available full-time. I can walk your pets or stay with them at your house. Pets are my passion and spending time with them makes me happy. I always respect and follow your rules for your pets and house. Safety and well-being for everyone is my priority. I am tidy, clean, and trustworthy.
“Cierra was great! We came home to happy dogs that were also chill - like Cierra! The house looked great too. And - there was no poo in the yard! Thank you, Cierra!”
About: I started working with animals in high school, accruing hundreds of volunteer hours at my local animal shelter, where I honed in on my passion for pet care. As I transitioned to university life, I started walking dogs on the weekends, and really enjoy getting to hang out and provide for other people's pets. I have open availability through most of the week, and for late-evening drop ins over the weekends. This allows me a lot of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your pets. Communication is key, and I strive to ensure all preferences are met during my visit/walk with your pet! I will frequently send updates, such as photos from during my visit/walk, and a little blurb about what your pet and I got up!

Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. We had to travel unexpectedly, and we're so grateful knowing our pups were in such capable caring hands. Our dogs are both seniors (12.5 yrs and 19.5 yrs) each with their own special care and handling needs. Gabrielle gave us many updates, and we felt comfortable knowing they were both okay. We'd highly recommend using Gabrielle.
Mackenzie was absolutely amazing with our dog Hank! She was extremely thorough and detail oriented about his care. I received daily pictures, video and text updates while we were away. The whole experience was above and beyond. We will be booking with her again!!
Erin stayed with my two cats for a few days this summer. She was very responsive when I first reached out to inquire about her availability. Once she was here, she was communicative and sent photos and updates of the cats throughout the stay. She left the house sparkling clean and cats were happy! I will be using her in the future! Thank you!!!
We re-booked Dahae after having a wonderful experience with her stay the first time. Again, she’s very loving towards the pets making sure they are well taken care of and I appreciated that she sends photos of the animals everyday. She’s very respectful of the home and it was nice to come back to a clean place. Thank you again for taking care of Yoshi and Leo :)
Betsy was fantastic! She was taking care of two dogs and a cat for me, and everything about her care was top notch. The dogs got lots of walks and play time, and my kitty got lots of cuddling. She took excellent care of the house as well - including leaving it perfectly clean when I got home. I'm really impressed and very grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Medina is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $110 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.

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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medina. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
