“Michelle was punctual, friendly and seemed comfortable with Teddy. He was fed and medicated on schedule and seemed content when we got home. Will definitely call Michelle again when needed. Thank you!”
“Jordan has been with us for awhile, and we are very pleased with the way completes the job and making sure to communicate with us with any concerns or just to share funny photos of our fur pets. Keep up the good work 👍”
“Colin took care of my rescue pup, Annie, a black lab mix with special needs, for an extended stay after a previous sitter had to cancel at the last minute. You could tell right off what a pet lover he was. He asked many good questions at the meet and greet, was punctual and handled Annie’s energy well on a leash. Colin sent me pictures and multiple daily updates on how she was doing. Giving her daily meds, tennis ball play times and long walks to help with her anxiety were part of a daily routine. I came home to a tired and happy pup. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone needing pet sitting services! Jain & Annie”
“Jocelyn was great! From the moment she met our dog and cat you could tell she loved being around animals. She was good with communication. She spent 3 nights with our animals and sent pictures. Everything seemed to work out great!”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone other than family. I found Rover while looking for a place to board her. I was able to find and interview potential sitters. Callie stood out to me as when she come over for the interview she had treats with her and my dog fell in love with her instantly! Although it was difficult for me to leave my dog I felt the love Callie had for dogs and it put my mind at ease. She took many pictures of my baby to show she was fine. She took her for a nice long walk which I know Coco loved. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”
“Felicia took care of my dog and two cats for a long weekend. She is calm, patient, loving, and responsible and I highly recommend her services. My dog is shy and hesitant with new people but became very comfortable with Felicia who also kept me nice and up to date with how the animals were doing while I was away.”
“It was a relief to have Julisa take care of our cat and dog while we were away! It's not easy taking care of a senior dog like ours but we knew he was in good hands. Lots of pictures and videos kept us updated and both pets were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
“Kayla was fantastic! She helped me in short notice and stayed at my place. I got updates on my dog and how he was doing, and she was very communicative regarding her schedule in tandem with my dog’s. She also happened to be at my place when there was an issue with a leak, and if it wasn’t for her quick response to me then I would’ve come home to a huge mess. She cares about you and your companion(s)! Thank you for being compassionate and respectful, Kayla!”
About: I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a busy pet store, learning to read behavior and handle different temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for pup play. Meetings work best in the early afternoon for me. I’ve grown up with three dogs and a cat my entire life; always taking them on walks and playing around. I’ve also have helped others who have pups with special conditions at my job.
“Liz is the best! She was available on short notice to housesit my two doggies. From the initial meet and greet I knew Liz was great. You can just tell if someone knows dogs and loves them. Throughout the trip, she was highly responsive and forward with any updates. Honestly, I’m so glad I found Liz. I will use her for all bookings going forward and I will highly recommend her to anybody. And know that I am not a bot or a pre-populated review. I am a real person who needed a dog sitter from a Memorial Day holiday weekend and Liz came through! I am grateful to her.”
“Thank you Mikayla for taking care of our little guy! Tucker is a special little Yorkie with health concerns requiring constant monitoring. Mikayla stepped up and delivered reliable excellent care. Oral medication and special dietary needs were taken care of. She communicated with us and sent pics of our guy which was a relief. We could relax and have peace of mind. Bonus, she left the house clean and tidy! We already have our next trip booked! Thank you again!”
“Our Huskies bonded with Meaghon immediately! In fact, so much that Charlie, when he realized Meaghon was going home after the meet and great, jumped into her car and really did not want her to leave. Our two intuitive and discerning Huskies picked right up on Meaghon's calm leadership and experience. It was very clear that Charlie and Coco were in very good care. Peace of mind for us.”
“Dakota is amazing! She agreed to help take care of our dog Maisy last minute so she could be a part of our wedding day! She picked Maisy up after our ceremony and spent time with her while we celebrated. We could not be any more grateful for her help. Maisy says thank you!”
“Brittany is simply AMAZING! Just before our trip our big boy was diagnosed with a CCL injury so we had to adjust his care. With one highly energetic dog and the other with a lane leg, that can be challenging. The boys were in great hands with her and she kept me updated on any issues he was having. Additionally she took great care for our home. I can’t speak highly enough about how great she is!”
“April was fantastic for her stay with my pups! I came home to them very happy, and my home was also very well taken care of. She provided daily updates and I could tell took great care of them. I’ll definitely be using April again!”
“We hired Sarah to watch our 70+ pound Pitbull BoBo. He is quite a handful to manage outside and we find it difficult to find anyone who can handle him. She surpassed all expectations and truly cared about our furry baby. She provided regular updates to us, which was very much appreciated, but she also shared pictures of him being well cared for. That would be enough to most sitters, but Sarah takes it a step further. She cleaned the house, took in our mail, and even cleaned the bedding she slept on. We know of no other dog sitter that does that, but Sarah’s level of commitment to the job she does makes her the best option on Rover in our opinion. No worries here, do yourself a favor and hire her.”
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashby on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,346 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashby. 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 Ashby 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 Ashby 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 Ashby 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.

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.
