“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gillian and her family. We’ve used her a lot this year and will continue to trust her to take care of my pup. Cooper is 15 years old, he sleeps a lot but still has a pep in his step. Gillian makes sure he gets outside time and walks along with lots of snuggle time. He isn’t hesitant when we get to their house like he was with other sitters. And he’s acting more like himself there which tells me he is comfortable. I get multiple texts, pictures and videos when he’s there, so I know he’s doing well.”

“Jialin and John watched my new senior rescue Bianca for a long weekend and were so good to her! I was a little nervous since I had her less than a month and was still figuring out her unique behaviors and preferences but she was in great hands. We did a meet and greet beforehand and Boo-boo was a great host, sharing his home and parents. Jialin even taught Bianca a new trick that we have been working on back home. Bianca was sent home with a plastic baggie of some treats she liked to keep the good times going back home. I look forward to the next time Bianca can stay with them!”

They were flexible and allowed us to add on days at the last minute to accommodate for travel time to and from our vacation even though it delayed their day trip plans.. Our dog came back happy and obviously well taken care of. Definitely will use them again!!”

Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!”

“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of pets for over 30 years. I am very familiar with puppy, senior and all stages in between. Currently I have been given the responsibility of let outs for 2 adorable pups and mid day walks for another great pup when his family is on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom . I am looking to fill my time with some pups who need cheering up while their family is away! I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe. Our family includes 3 dogs and 4 cats. The cats and dogs coexist well without any issues. 2 of our dogs are seniors who are very quiet. Our younger pup is 5 years old and loves everyone. He would be a great playmate for your pup. I am very hands on and will not take my eyes off your pup. They will be treated just like my fur babies!

“I highly recommend booking with Cong! She sent so many pictures and videos while my dog, Koda, was staying with her. I hate leaving Koda with people other than family but Cong made me feel comfortable and she communicated constantly throughout Koda’s stay. It was nice to know that Koda was enjoying her time and playing with other dogs! She came home very tired - and a tired dog is a happy dog!!”

About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 10-6 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and on lunch breaks to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. Pets in my home are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed if they like to. We have lots of toys (for both dogs and cats) and enjoy lots of walks on the nearby walking trail.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Medusa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 275 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Medusa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

97% of sitters in Medusa can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Medusa home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Medusa.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

You and your Medusa sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
