“James is an excellent cat sitter. Setting up the times for key pickup and drop off was hassle free. My cat who is typically on the shyer side was immediately friendly with James.”
About: I have provided care for a variety of animals including dogs, cats and horses since I was young for family, friends and my own pets. I work a full-time non traditional schedule and I am available Sunday, Monday, Wednesday in the morning and afternoon to provide any necessary pet care. I can harness dogs if needed for walks. When caring for pets in the home, I will regularly check their water and food amount during feeding time. I will also make sure to take dogs outside regularly to relieve themselves.
“Elizabeth was reliable and self-sufficient while caring for Frank during my trip. She provided ample updates and Frank was happy upon our return home. I will not hesitate to book with her again.”
“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 :)”
“Thank you so much! We dound Meow-Meow very happy to see us and we loved the daily card reports you sent over and those cute pictures. That made us feel very confortable with leaving her in good hands. Also thank you much for making sure our delivered packages were safe, and the extra little things.”
“Caroline was super communicative and patient with my dog Zina when she wouldn’t eat and had tummy troubles. She’s a great sitter and I hope to book her again!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly love caring for pets of all kinds! I grew up in a home with multiple pets at a time, including dogs, cats, and small animals, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my everyday life. In recent years, I have gained even more hands on experience through house sitting and caring for both dogs and cats while their owners are away. I also regularly help care for the dog in the home where I babysit, including providing attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and everyday care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I’m attentive, responsible, loving, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Washington and also work part time as a nanny, but my schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. Whether it’s walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, or just some extra company and attention, I’m committed to making time for your pet and giving them the best care possible. I’m also very organized with my schedule, so you can count on me to be reliable and make your pet a priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m happy to follow any routines, instructions, feeding schedules, walking preferences, or house rules you provide so your pet can stay as comfortable and consistent as possible. For walks and drop in visits, I’ll always make sure your pet is secure and supervised, while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When pet sitting, I’m also very respectful of your home and will make sure it’s kept safe, clean, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always communicate with you so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands!
“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!”
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
“I was so anxious about my long trip for my mother's surgery, but Liberty and Caleb felts like they were sent by the cat gods! They were so communicative and willing to hear feedback or change things up based on my cats' weird quirks. Even my I felt so safe and sound knowing my cats had them and that they felt just as loved as when I'm here. I'm eternally grateful to Liberty and Caleb!”
“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.”
About: I have a 16 year old dog that lives in Colombia. I was part of his care for 9 years. I have taken care of friends doggies, I like to rub their bellies and pet them. I'm a good snuggle buddy for them and I like to play catch with them. I adopted a little baby rescued almost 2 years ago, he had some serious anxiety and lots of energy so I know how to deal with doggies with special needs. We love going to the dog park so he can interact and play with other doggies. He gets along super well with dogs and has made a few friends with the dogs I have taken care of. I currently work part time out of my home, I’m only away from 4 hours and can provide care for them. I’m usually able to accommodate drop off/pick up around 1:00-2:00pm. I live in a townhouse. There’s 4 floors and a open space kitchen. I have a set up of doggie gates to keep your pets save. They will spend their time if I happen to be away in the open space kitchen and will sleep with me in my bedroom. I also have a crate in case your pet is more comfortable sleeping there. Tons of doggie toys.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors for years, which taught me how to read each dog's personality, follow different routines, and make every pup feel safe and comfortable. Today I have tow dogs of my own, so caring for them is part of my everyday life. My favorite part of the day is getting outside with dogs. Whether it's a relaxed stroll, a run for high-energy pups, or playtime at the park, I love helping dogs get their exercise and have fun. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I'm always happy to send updates and photos so you know they're having a great time. I work part-time, so I'm available on weekdays with flexible timing. I can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, whether that's mornings, midday, or afternoons. I'm happy to follow your instructions for entering your home and caring for your dog, and I'm always respectful of your space. I make sure leashes are secure on walks, check that doors are locked when I leave, and make sure that your pup has fresh water before I go.
“Bailey did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my cat Benny while I was out of town over the holidays! She was super communicative, took lots of photos and left detailed updates, and I can tell Benny had a blast with her! Bailey was an absolute sweetheart and I would recommend her to anyone, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!!”
About: Hello! My name is Dari, I am a WA native and I have been taking care of dogs since 2011 and cats since 2023. I have 2 kitties of my own that live in my home and 1 kitty I co-parent from afar with a previous partner. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for friends, family, and neighbors many times over the last few years and am excited to do so for you and your furry friends too. I have also had hamsters, hermit crabs, and a lovebird as pets too! No critter will be left not taken care of under my watch. I am currently teaching yoga and meditation in Seattle, Bothell, Kirkland, Bellevue, and Snoqualmie; I am often bopping around to and from the studio and am happy to drop-in to take care of your pets or take your dog for a walk! I am also not gone from home like most people for full shifts of work that last 8-10 hrs, I am gone at most for 6-7 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with other days of the week being more like 2 hours away at a time! I live in an apartment but am a very active person and love taking dogs on long walks and to the dog park if desired. I am a very kind, soft, and loving person and truly believe animals pick up on this. It is very often I find myself talking to birds, squirrels, deer, and even today - a raccoon!!

Lydia is fantastic! In short, it was an absolute luxury to feel zero stress about pet care and general home care while away for an extended trip. My wife and I will 100% try to book with Lydia again for our next trip. :) We have small pets (not dogs, nor cats) so our recent booking with Lydia was a bit of a special request. We also had a few home check-up items that we were hopeful Lydia could take care of as well. Throughout our trip, Lydia made regular check-ins, with detailed notes and wonderful photos, to let us know how our pets and home were doing. When arriving back home, our pets and home were all looking amazing, and I swear the pet area was cleaner than we had left it! A+ all around, thank you Lydia, can’t recommend enough 💯
Ally is the best!! She was a life saver when my pet sitter cancelled and was able to come over and meet Gemma last minute before our trip. She sent detailed updates and always made us feel so comfortable that our girl was in the best hands. I highly recommend her!
Leighton was amazing with our two senior kitties. We were a little hesitant about leaving them with someone we didn’t know, but Leighton immediately put us at ease. She is professional, personable, reliable, communicative and made leaving the kitties in her caring and capable hands an easy decision. The kitties even let her pet them, which showed us they approved, too. It was a great experience working with her and we are grateful she was available. My husband and I now feel like we can actually leave for a few days and know the kitties will be in good hands. We will definitely book Leighton 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! ❤️
This is the second time Mackenzie has watched and visited our cats. She is amazing! Her pictures, communication, and following our advice for each cat is top notch. We have four cats and a lot of litter boxes. She took care of those messes daily and still found time to pet and play with each cat. I am a bit anxious leaving them, but she is a wonderful sitter and made me feel like she truly loves each one of the cats :). I will continue to book her in the future and anyone reading this should too!
Hongfei took great care of my cats over the weekend. He was very attentive, spent plenty of time playing with them, and made sure they were comfortable and happy. He even cleaned up a hairball when she threw up, which I really appreciated. It was clear that he genuinely cares about cats. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Medina is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per visit. 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 12,675 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Medina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medina. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
