Kaitlyn is great! At our meet and greet, she did great work building trust with our shy young dog and turned her into a fan by the end of the visit (and she was instant besties with our senior dog). Kaitlyn’s taken care of them two times and the dogs are clearly both having a great time with her already. She gives great updates with pictures and has been so easy to communicate with. I highly recommend working with Kaitlyn!

Mocha absolutely loves Sean. He was on time and went over and above the time he spent with Mocha. We would strongly recommend him to anyone and will use him every time

About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.

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.

Colin is so good with Remi! He takes extra good care of him at lunch time and even takes him on a walk in the neighborhood. Remi looks forward to all his visits with Colin and I always know Remi is well cared for when Colin stops over.

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.

About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old. I really started to get involved with pet care when I was a preteen. I have done pet sitting with my friends as well. I am going to college to study veterinary technology and am looking to get more hands on experience with dogs and cats! :) I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your pets during the week! Monday-Friday I am available before 1:00pm and after 10:00pm. Saturdays I am free all day. Sundays I am available before 11:00am and after 8:00pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I can crate the dogs if needed. I have leashes and harnesses in my home. Everything in my home is pet proofed.

About: Having grown up around a diverse set of animals then adopting 2 dogs of my own in adulthood, I bring a thorough, well rounded background in pet care. I am single dad (kids live here part-time) who currently works a corporate 9-5 job full-time from my home office in Leominster, so I have a lot of flexibility during the work days during the week, and then my weekends are very open too around kids activities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex within a wooded area with land so this gives a good environment for comfortable interior space as well as walking pets outside.

Townsend, MA, 01469

About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate. I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ashby on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,363 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashby. 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 Ashby 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 Ashby. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
