Kendall is fantastic! Responds quickly, shows up on time, and very understanding of my dogs’ quirks. Kendall stayed at our house while we were out of town, and we’re so appreciative of the photos she sent us. I know they enjoyed being at home rather than in a kennel being boarded elsewhere. We will definitely have Kendall watch our pups again.

Kinery was outstanding. She housesat for us and our puppy and cat, and the entire time we felt 100% confident they were in good hands. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and she treated him like he was her own. She went above and beyond, even buying him special treats and taking him for a play date with her own dog. She gave special attention to our overly anxious cat to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely call her anytime we need someone to watch them, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!

About: I know the feeling of standing at the door with your suitcase, looking back at your pet, wondering if they’ll be okay. My job is to make sure that the moment you close that door, you stop worrying. Here’s why you can: my cat Wall-E came to me feral. He trusted no one. Today he walks on a leash, comes when I call him, and asks for cuddles. That’s the skill I bring to every animal in my care, cat or dog: reading body language, respecting fear instead of pushing through it, and letting your pet set the pace. Shy, anxious, reactive, or “difficult with strangers” pets aren’t difficult to me. Trust earned slowly is the kind that lasts. Your pet won’t be squeezed between errands. I work from home, so animal care is already the shape of my mornings and evenings. Drop-in visits, midday potty breaks and check-ins, walks, daily feeding schedules, and extended stays all fit naturally into my day. The details matter to me because they matter to your pet. Exact feeding routines, portion sizes, prescription diets, the walking route your dog knows, the bowl that has to be in that one spot: I follow your instructions to the letter, not approximately. Litter boxes are scooped every visit, yards are checked, and I pay attention while I do it, because changes in appetite or bathroom habits are often the first sign something’s off. You know your pet best. My job is to keep their world exactly the way you built it. And if the worst-case scenario in your head ever became real: I’m CERT emergency-response trained through our village police department. I handle medications, supplements, and senior-pet health monitoring calmly and precisely. You’d have someone who acts first and panics never. You’ll never have to wonder how it’s going. Daily photos and videos come standard, and every stay ends with a personalized touch. I run my own business from home, giving me flexible availability throughout the day. I can accommodate drop-in visits, daily feeding schedules, and extended sitting arrangements. My routine already includes dedicated pet care time morning and evening, so your cat will fit naturally into my day. My home is a cat-friendly environment where my two well-socialized cats live. I’m experienced with managing multi-cat introductions if boarding is needed. For in-home visits, I follow detailed care instructions and send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I’m also experienced with administering supplements and monitoring health needs.

Philip is the kindest and most dependable pet sitter! He took excellent care of our Great Dane over a long weekend. From the questions he asked during our first meeting, it was clear that Phil is the kind of sitter who makes a real effort to befriend and understand the needs of every pet he cares for. To anyone who wants to rest assured that their pets are getting all the love and care they deserve while you’re away, my husband and I cannot recommend Phil highly enough.

Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!

About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.

About: I am an avid pet lover and have had many dogs and cats over the past ~30 years. While raising my daughter, we had two cats and two dogs (Shitzu and Lhasa Apso), which we loved dearly. my latest dog Ralphie, passed away a couple of years ago. He unfortunately turned blind when he was just three, so I have extensive experience with senior dogs, and those with disabilities. Currently, I love to pet sit for my daughter’s dog, Scotch, in NY any chance I get. I love taking care of animals during the weekends or on my free time. I’m looking to pet-sit dogs in my home (primarily overnights and weekends). I live alone and don't currently have a pet. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Pet care fits into my weekly routine perfectly as I work from home a couple times a week, and am available to watch dogs many weekends. I have a 2 bedroom condo with direct access to the outdoors along the golf course. Indoor space is ample for small dogs to run around inside, and my back area and neighborhood are very safe, quiet, and well separated from any main roads.

Ok if you book Phillip you have won the lottery! He is truly phenomenal from start to finish. He sends pictures every day with a little note. The dogs were so happy! But what makes him stand out is his dedication to the pups & the client. We were diverted to Milwaukee, landing around midnight due to storms in Chicago & Phillip stayed until he knew we would be making it home. I was so worried about the dogs when we landed and when I received his text that he was still at the house I almost cried. He truly is amazing!

Gianna was reliable, considerate, caring towards our puppy! She left our house as clean as we left it. Everything went smoothly. She really spent quality time with our dog, playing and getting his exercise in. He's been sleeping a lot since we got home. She really tired him out! We feel so much more comfortable getting a weekend away knowing Gianna cared for our dog and house as her own. Highly recommend!! Hoping to book her for future trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Medinah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Medinah on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,273 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medinah. 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 Medinah 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 Medinah 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 Medinah 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medinah. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
