““I can’t say enough great things about Casandra! She watched my dog, Malachi, for three weeks while I was traveling abroad, and her care exceeded all expectations. Not only did she handle two major hurricanes (Helene & Milton) during that time, but she kept my house clean, ensured Malachi was well-fed, and even took him to her home when my power went out. Despite being without power twice, Casandra remained calm, resourceful, and reliable throughout. She consistently sent me updates and photos of Malachi, and every time I reached out, she responded within minutes. Her communication was top-notch, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!””
“My dog and I were very happy with Christian. Christian is awesome, very attentive and caring. He kept me updated throughout the day with comments, photos and videos. I felt very comfortable leaving my Scooby with Christian. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Scooby prince.”
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 5 and cats since about a year ago. I'm far more familiar with dogs and their needs and enjoy walking with them and caring for them. I currently have two medium sized dogs who love snuggles, walks, and playing. I work part time at the Lakeland Veterinary and Hospital as a Kennel Technician. My schedule varies on a monthly basis as schedules are typically given out for the upcoming month. The first week of the month is the most difficult for me to schedule as typically the work schedule hasn’t been sent out yet. As for my work schedule it varies time frames ranging from 7am-5pm or 4pm-9pm on week days while weekends are typically 7am-1pm or 4pm-9pm. Recently due to being short staffed I’ve volunteered to do doubles which is 7am-8pm with an hour lunch break. I'll be happy to discuss any time frames whether I know my schedule or not. I have two dogs (Brittany Spaniel and a very mixed breed but mostly resembles a treeing walker coonhound) at my house between 30lbs and 50lbs who love snuggles and playing with each other. I go on a lot of walks with my dogs as they're both friendly and energetic. I make sure my puppies are well fed, have clean water, and are given all the love they can possibly receive every day
“Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!”
“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”

“Cathy is great with the pups and this for this visit was a life saver for us. My husband was able to have her trouble shooting the power outlets in the garage to get the garage door opener working again and restore power to the refrigerator and freezer! Go greatly appreciated!!”
“Christina was great with our dog and cat. She kept to their schedules and stayed at our place for several nights. You couldn't even tell she had been here. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
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.
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring they are. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away—which says everything. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup and a tidy space, and it was obvious our dog had been treated like family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Elizabeth was great to work with. She was on time, followed instructions perfectly and most importantly my pups had a great time with her and were well cared for. Thank you!🙏 we will be happy to have you back.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Medulla
We are so thankful for Mattison! She was wonderful with our Frenchie and our kitty. Very caring and so loving! She kept us updated with messages, pictures and videos which we loved. She is highly recommended and we can’t wait to book her again ! Thank you again Mattison!
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!
Christina was amazing with our senior dogs. One has epilepsy and the other one other health issues, so they are not that simple to take care of. She did a great job taking care of them. They were very happy with her and not stressed out. She kept me informed the entire time, was responsive, sent photos, and was able to give them their meds and vitamins. She stayed over and was respectful of our home. We recommend her and will be hiring her in the future.
Lyndsay was super communicative with me from start to finish. My flight got delayed and offered to stay a few extra hours past what we agreed upon. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day and the entire weekend. I highly recommend her and trust her with my pups!
Alexandra is incredible! She is punctual, dependable, responsible and not to mention amazingly kind to my animals! She was very easy to communicate with and she kept me updated on how things were going. I had such a peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of our animals while we were gone. I would 100% recommend anyone to use Alexandra for your pet needs!! Seriously, she is the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Medulla on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,427 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.
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 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 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 Medulla. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
