“Nancy was great! Super nice and accommodating. She was so sweet to both my cat and dog fur babies. Followed all of our instructions and even made it work when I forgot to leave out one of their bowls. She was even patient with my cat who takes a little time to warm up to people. Would definitely book again!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! This was my second time booking with her, and once again, she went above and beyond to care for my pet. I felt completely at ease while I was away, knowing my pet was in such good hands. She sent daily photo updates, kept me informed, and clearly treated my pet like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: This is a dual sitter account! Me and my partner will both be present during bookings 🐾. About Isa: Hi! Here's a little about me : As someone slowly trying to transition into a more vegan lifestyle, I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl and I'm always the type of person to see a stray kitten and feed them immediately. I am on a constant mission of rescuing stray cats/animals and bringing them to safety. I myself have a one year old cat that I rescued from a park and I help take care of my partners french bulldog :). I have experience taking care of a variety of dogs, whether they are big or small. Some dog breeds I have cared of include french bulldog, pitbull, husky, golden doodle, australian shepard, and many more! About Rei: Hello, I look forward to helping take care of all your precious babies. Since I can remember I have always fostered a variety animals in my home. Whether it was a bird, a turtle, bunnies, or dogs and cats; in my home they've all been treated equally and loved with all my heart! I avidly seek new experiences, and walking or caring for any animal has always been one of my favorites. Raising animals is not new to me, and neither is taking care of one that needs medical attention, or a scheduled medication. I don't think ill ever spend a day of my life not wanting to care for any animal, and i'm more than happy to help yours! Rei and I are both currently working part-time so we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to our schedule. We are both usually available on after 2 pm on most weekdays & weekends. As we are college students, our availability may be subject to change so just give us a text and we can arrange a time that fits both our schedules to take care of your fur babies! Rei and I have a fenced yard for play time in the backyard with pups. We also have a variety of toys to play with for cats and dogs as well as many treats. We always try to keep the house free of any scents such candles/diffuser in order to not harm my pets.

About: I’ve grown up in a household with pets my entire life, so taking care of dogs has always come naturally to me! I have around 10 years of experience caring for dogs and have looked after up to three at a time. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like they’re my own I currently balance a part-time work schedule with coaching, so I have flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. My schedule varies, but I’m always open to coordinating times that work best for both of us! I’ve always had dogs at home, so I know how important it is to make sure they’re safe and well taken care of. I always make sure they’re securely leashed and pay attention to their surroundings while we’re out. I know every dog has their own personality and pace, so I like to make sure they’re comfortable and enjoying their walk. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have and send pictures or updates along the way!

About: Hi, I’m Mari! Animals have been part of my family my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had three Dalmatians, a Dachshund–Chihuahua mix, and a Pomeranian, so I know how different every dog’s personality can be! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Eve, my sweet Dalmatian. 🤎 I have volunteer experience with the Humane Society of Greater Miami and have rescued both cats and dogs. I’ve also boarded dogs in my home and provided house sitting in their own homes. These experiences have taught me to be patient, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and give them time to feel comfortable with me. Now, I’m building my own pet sitting business, Mari and Eve Pet Care, around something I truly love. Whether your pet enjoys playing, going on walks, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As a pet parent myself, I know how much it means to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your baby! 💕 During their stay or visit: I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite activities, and little quirks. Care can include walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and quiet time, depending on their needs and the service booked. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your baby is doing! 📸🐾 For house sitting, I’ll follow your care instructions and respect your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar surroundings. What I’d love to know about your pet: Tell me a little about your baby! What do they love, what makes them nervous, and what helps them feel comfortable? Please share their feeding and potty schedule, sleeping habits, allergies, medical needs, and any behaviors I should know about. For care in my home, I’d also like to know how they feel around other dogs, since I have Eve. Let me know if this is their first time staying with a sitter so we can talk through what would help them settle in. For boarding, please bring their usual food and any familiar items, like a favorite toy, bed, or blanket. I’d love to arrange a meet and greet so we can get to know each other before their stay! 💕 Open availability Mon-Sun. I will walk, feed, play and bathe your pet as needed. And love them and take care of them like I do with my dog, Eve. ☺️ I will make sure with the owners to meet their pets’ dietary needs and buy them the necessary food to meet those needs. If they are a dog, I will walk them according to their walking needs. I will also have new toys for them to play with. If they are a cat, I will have carpet pieces for them to climb and toys as well. If the pet needs a bath or to be taken to a vet/training/playdate appointment I can do that as well. ☺️

Taryn was really wonderful and patient with my cat Odette! She seemed to be sad that we left her alone for a couple of days and wasn’t eating at first. Taryn stayed with her a bit longer each day to ensure she was eating and drinking her water. She did a great job with our cat and was very communicative.

Valentina provided exceptional care for my cat, Milan, while we were away for eighteen days. From the moment we met, her love for animals was evident. She took the time to understand Milan's routine and preferences, ensuring he felt comfortable and secure in our absence. Throughout our trip, Valentina sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Milan was happy and well-cared for. She went above and beyond, engaging him in play. It was clear that Milan had formed a bond with her, as he was relaxed and content upon our return. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive. Valentina maintained a clean environment and followed all instructions meticulously, making the entire experience stress-free for both us and Milan. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Valentina, for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Medley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Medley is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 6,168 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Medley. 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 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

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.
