“Kaitlyn is so great with our dogs! You can tell from the photos that the dogs are both thrilled to be hanging out with her! She does an awesome job tiring out our young dog with fetch in the yard and giving our senior dog lots of loving and attention, too. Kaitlyn is so reliable and communicative - I highly recommend booking her!”
“Emily was wonderful! She came over for a meet and greet before taking care of our three cats. I appreciated her taking the time to do that. She was extremely thorough and very communicative which I also appreciate it. She took great care of the cats and my house! She really went above and beyond. I appreciate her and definitely recommend hiring her.”
“Matt is so friendly, and was great with helping take our dog out for potty breaks while we were traveling. He clearly loves animals, and they love him! Every picture he sent of our pup made that especially clear.”
“Katrina is so nice and was a pleasure to communicate with. She helped us in a time of need and made it so easy for us. I felt really comfortable with her caring for our pet. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jorden was amazing with our large lad for this drop in! This was our first time leaving Whiskey for an extended time and I think Jorden was the perfect person to check in on him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Colin, as always, goes with the flow and follows my sassy girls' lead, while still getting them fed. I'm glad they actually had a Khloe sighting - it is a testament to Colin's perseverance in coming to feed them, regardless of the welcome Colin gets. (My shepherd mix often won't make an appearance at all). Colin is a champ! My yard lights went out and the sun was already down before feeding time came. My Miss Madeline is black and can be skiddish - not an easy playtime in the dark. With a quick heads up, Colin was ready with a flashlight and for hanging out with Mads, despite the darkness. I know she appreciated the attention. They were happy girls when I got home. Many thanks to Colin :-)”
“Devon was great visiting our home with our nervous pups that are never separated from their humans. The pictures and updates were extremely reassuring and gave us peace of mind while away for the weekend! We will absolutely reach out again,”
About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️
“Amanda is a thoughtful and capable pet sitter. Also helped with our mail and feeding my wild critters that visit the yard, too. Highly recommend. Very trustworthy in our home.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and my philosophy is “the bigger, the better!” I have experience caring for big, medium and small dogs, cats, turtles, and other pets. And I give every animal I meet a personalized nickname! I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I leave around 7:30AM for work and get back around 4PM. With my current schedule, I could do weekend pet care or pet care for those who don’t need as much attention during the day (ie. don’t need to go outside to use the bathroom). To keep your pets safe in your home, I will follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication and routines to the letter! I also have a dog at my family home and a cat in my own apartment, so I am very vigilant about keeping doors closed and locked so no pets escape. I am also down to send update photos and messages if wanted!!
About: I am a life-long animal lover. I have been mother to my three sweet cats George, Winnifred, and Maia for 9 years. My cats have had ups and downs and I have stood by my cats and administered medicine, cleaned up their messes, taken them to surgeries, and held their paws the whole time. I am excited to meet your pets and help them out! I am currently unemployed and happy to provide drop in services from 6 am to 3 pm. Additional times for drop ins can be discussed on a case by case basis. Happy to take pets for walks, play, feed, sift litter boxes, and clean up accidents. Administering medication can also be done, but after an initial drop in for consultation.
“I cannot thank Blaise enough for how wonderful he is with my two special pups. He has been so reliable, helpful and flexible. I never would’ve dreamed I could find someone as kind and responsive. He’s worth his weight and gold to us!”
“Misty has had excellent communication from day 1. My three pups took to her immediately which made us feel at ease. She was able to give us a hand with short notice when we had some last minute changes to our work hours. We received some adorable photos of our babies when she came by to let them out. If you’re looking for someone who loves dogs, can work with a flexible schedule and has excellent communication then Misty is your person.”
About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, snakes, chinchillas, quails, pigs, lizards, Guinea pigs, and bunnies. I am willing to learn how to take care of any animal and have given medicine/received special requests previously I work 4-8 hours a day and one of my jobs is a work from home job. My timing can can be flexible unless I am lifeguarding. I do not offer boarding. I do have pets of my own and would take care of other peoples’ animals according to the owner’s and their vets’ wishes and judgement
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ashburnham on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,892 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashburnham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashburnham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Ashburnham. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
