“Pennie was everything my dogs and I needed! From the first contact to the very end she was responsive and great to work with. She was able to handle my overly excited dogs when she arrived, her calm demeanor helped them settle quickly. Pennie kept their normal schedule and my dogs were completely content that I was away, this made my very happy and settled my nerves about leaving them. Pennie will be my go to for now on.”
“Christina did a wonderful job with my two little dogs! We felt totally comfortable leaving our pups in her hands and won't hesitate to use her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little as 11 years old. I had two dogs growing up and two cats growing up. I also had a ball python in high school and love reptiles! I currently work from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday with an hour for lunch at 11:30 pm. I have the ability to switch my lunch hour and work from home three days a week! This is perfect if you are looking for a house sitter as I can hang out with your animals throughout the day while working from my laptop! I currently live in an apartment complex and unfortunately cannot house other furry friends. However, I am willing to come to you instead! I am a happy cat owner :)
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She sent pics and updates throughout the day while we were out! Our boy, Mav, was wiped out when we got home! He is about 3 1/2 yr old spoiled rotten Sheepadoodle! We would HIGHLY recommend her for your fur baby! She is kind and very patient - Mav took to her immediately!”
“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!”
About: I’m patient with all animals and love their energy they bring to my life. I’ve cared for animals since I was 2 years old and I’ve been connected with them ever since. I currently work a full time job that does allow me to have free time after work or weekends to care for cats and/or dogs in my free time. Although I don’t have a fenced area at my apartment complex I do have plenty of space to walk and we can always go to a park enjoying the scenery.
“Payton was awesome! She sent lots of pictures, helped with learning how to walk my dog on a leash, and provided great tips and tricks for training. I will definitely be calling her again.”
“Karla is amazing!!! We were nervous leaving our puppy for the first time and she put us right at ease. She is just so sweet and our Penelope loves her. She sent pictures and updates all of the time we were gone. So excited to have found her!!!”
About: I’ve lived my entire life with dogs. I currently have a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and live with a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. I enjoy walking all dog breeds and sizes, and can help leash train your dog. I currently work remote Monday-Friday 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break and am fully free on weekends. This leaves plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the morning, midday, and evening. I would need internet access and a desk or tabletop during weekdays. I am open for FaceTiming, calls, and communication whenever needed and am particular about following instructions provided by the pet parent. They know best about their furry family members! I am also very strict about proper and comfortable leashing on walks or any time outside without a fenced in yard.
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: I grew up with pets almost all my life cats and dogs mostly. But I've helped friends take care of their pets like cats, dogs and some reptiles. I do my best to make sure I take care of any pets in my care. I'm available all times of the week and weekends. Only times I will not be available as if I have important things that have come to my attention. Such as medical visits and other various important appointments I keep all animals well fed.Make sure they have plenty of time to play.Go on walks and rest with plenty of peting and I make sure any special needs are met for the animals
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have professional experience working in kennels and pet resorts, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, administering oral/topical medications, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur babies. ❤️ I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Big or small, young or old — every fur baby deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. 🐶🐱❤️ I work part time and have days off. I can come over when your pet wants to play or have a nice walk. I can also stay with your pets for long periods of time. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have a big yard for play and walks. I have a big home to roam around in and two children that can play with pets also if you as the owner are okay with that.
About: The best care for your best friend Need someone trustworthy to care for your pet while you’re away? I’m here to help! I offer companionship, playtime, and fun walks — always with love and attention. Daily walks Lots of play and cuddles Photo and video updates Your pet will be treated like family!

“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!!”
“Angie cared for our puppy Brody over the holiday weekend with overnight stays. She offered to meet at our house prior to the requested stay, which was much appreciated. Upon first meeting her, you could tell she is passionate about caring for animals. She made us feel comfortable leaving our dog (and cat) for the long weekend. She even put on dog TV when she left, which is a very sweet touch. House was clean when we returned. Would highly recommend!!”
“Olivia was amazing!!! She took such good care are of our Nellie girl and even took her on a hike and left her some dog treats. She was very communicative and sent us pics / videos while we were gone. Highly recommend, we will definitely be using her again!!!”

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!

Bridget was the best!!! She took such great care of both of my fur babies. She went above and beyond and the peace of mind I had while traveling was unmatched. I can’t thank you enough for treating them like your own and even taking my puppy to the park and on fun walks!

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!

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.
