About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

About: I’ve been caring for pets as long as I can remember. I generally just do it as a favor for friends and relatives. I currently own two dogs. I’m good with any age of a dog or cat. I work everyday during the week. However, I do have time on my lunch break to let animals out depending on the distance. I’m free after 4:30 on business days and 3 on weekends. I don’t have a problem staying the night at someone’s house if it’s needed. I cannot currently dog sit at my house due to one of my dogs being aggressive. He’s very slow to warm up and I don’t want to chance it.

About: I'm a certified pet sittier through Fetch Find and have over a decade of experience. I work with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have experience with sick and anxious animals. My own senior cat is both and requires tender loving care to medicate. I'll bring the same love and patience to your animals that I bring to my own. I currently work from home full time. I have a semi flexible schedule and I'm available from 2pm-9pm for walks, drop ins, or anything your pets may need. I individualize my care based on what each client needs. That may look like giving your babies tons of attention or the space they need to feel safe. We can talk 1:1 to make sure your pets have what they need.

About: Experienced in day-to-day care, emergency situations, disabled animals (hearing/seeing impaired, as well as limited ambulatory abilities), and also post-operative care. I am available for drop-in potty break visits, walks, overnight stays, giving medication, and transportation. In addition to caring for the various animals I've had I'm my family over the years I've also been a volunteer at the SPCA since 2020, entrusted with the care of many dogs and cats during that time. I work full time from 7:30am to 4pm, Monday through Friday, however my schedule can be adjusted to accommodate early morning drop-in visits as well as overnight stays and transportation if needed. I see to my pets overall wellness, going beyond food, water, and bathroom breaks. In my mind their lives are relatively short compared to a humans, and it's important to me that animals I call family members are not only physically healthy but happy and stress free. I extend this same level of care to the furry, four-legged family members of those who entrust me with their care. I welcome the chance to visit your home and meet your pets to make sure it is a good fit before committing to my services.

About: Need a sitter? I'm your girl. I work from home, which basically means your dog gets a full-time companion — not someone squeezing them between errands. Here's the deal: boarding, drop-ins, or walks, your pup gets real attention. Playtime, belly rubs, a cozy spot on the couch, and photo updates so you're not sitting at work wondering. I love the wild puppies, I love the grumpy old souls — every dog has their thing, and I figure it out fast. I'm flexible, I reply fast, and I genuinely love doing this. Message me with your dates and let's get your pup booked! 🐾 I love working from home, and living alone gives me the opportunity to create my own schedule! While caring for animals in the comfort of my home. Yes, It will vary. I can care for cats, and small dogs. Or gentle big dogs. In the care of my home. Or the clients home.

She sent me plenty of pics and videos and I never felt out of touch with what my Pug’s day was like. It was so nice to not have to worry about my baby while I was away. I will definitely use Jasmine again in the future. She is a true gem.”

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

About: Although I don’t have professional experience as a pet sitter, I have always had cats and have also had dogs, so I’m very comfortable living with and caring for them. I have also cared for my friends’ dogs on several occasions. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person. I believe every pet deserves attention, respect, and lots of love. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they are with me. 🐾❤️ Trabajo de lunes a viernes hasta las 5:00 p. m., por lo que estoy disponible para cuidar mascotas después de ese horario. Los fines de semana también tengo disponibilidad por horas, tanto en la mañana como en la tarde. Cuando cuido una mascota en la casa de su dueño, me aseguro de seguir su rutina habitual y las indicaciones de su familia. Me gusta brindarles compañía, cariño y atención, además de asegurarme de que tengan comida y agua fresca. También puedo jugar con ellos, sacarlos a caminar si es necesario y mantener limpio y ordenado su espacio.

About: I picked up bride and grooms dogs from their homes and brought them to their weddings to get in the photos and ceremony while making sure the dog was taken care of and under control then brought back home. I work a rotating schedule so every week I have different availability, but I always have mornings off so I can cover any morning any time. Flexible and communicative. I am always careful of the food my pets consume and making sure they are fed on a schedule while also never too lonely or without playing for too long.

Kylee went above and beyond for my animals. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave them behind for an 8 day vacation, but Kylee helped ease that. She sent pictures, updates, and videos daily of the animals. She truly loved them as if they were her own. We cannot say enough good things about Kylee. We loved her so much, we already booked her for a year out again! Apart from the animals, she also kept our house very clean and respected it as her own. I felt very comfortable with Kylee at my home and with my animals. Thank you, Kylee!!

Zoë was amazing with my two Huskies! They love to escape so I was a bit worried. One of them escaped and she got him back home. I was on a cruise with no WiFi and I was able to get updates from her when we ported. She was sitting in house and our place was neat and well taken care of. More importantly, my pooches loved Zoë so book her!

I have nothing but good things to say about Erika. I booked with her at the last minute (after my original sitter canceled) and I am so grateful I did! Erika was very communicative, responsive, and took great care of my girl while I was away across the country. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures - capturing some of my now favorite photos of her. Erika's schedule was flexible enough to extend the stay another night after my flight was canceled. When I returned, I could tell my girl was happy, healthy, and well taken care of, as well as my home. I look forward to booking with her in the future. Thank you, Erika!

FAQs for House Sitting - Medulla

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Medulla on Rover is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $82 per night. 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 2,426 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Medulla. 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 Medulla 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 Medulla 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Medulla 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 , 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 .

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
