“I almost don’t want to leaver a raving review because I don’t want her busy next time I leave town!!! Helen is awesome. I leave my dog in full confidence of her wellbeing.”
“Dogs seemed happy when I got home, and Randi was responsive and flexible. She house set so the dogs could sleep in their own beds but took them to her house to play with her pack during the day, which I'm sure they enjoyed.”
“We loved having Lauren stay with Millie. She made her feel comfortable and relaxed while we were out of town. Lauren kept in touch throughout the week with updates. We hope to have Lauren watch Millie again soon!”
“Kaitlyn was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! She was very communicative and sent great pictures that showed how happy our pups were with her. She went above and beyond during her stay, 10/10! Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Wesley was amazing. Kept in contact with us. Took amazing care of our pups. Let us know if any issues. She even got my little old pup to cuddle and that is rare. He really doesn’t like many people! She was amazing and we plan to use her again and again!!”
About: I have had a dog around my house ever since I was a child. I have been trusted to watch family friends dogs for years and have also spent a year and a half working at a dog daycare. I am used to watching puppies as well and I also have a little experience training dogs to sit and do other basic commands. I currently work fully remote at my apartment. I am able to take your dog out multiple times a day and even have parks near by that I would be able to take them to to get some energy out. They have my full attention throughout the day! I have 1 super friendly lab that loves play time with other pups. So, if your pup comes over to stay, I am sure they would become best friends! If need be, I would be happy to watch your pup in your home as well! I am quite experience in house/dog sitting and have done it for quite some time.
“Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa was kind, communicative, calm, and flexible. My flight home got cancelled and I had to rebook my return trip a day later. Marissa immediately agreed to extend her services when I told her what was going on. When I (finally) made it home, Peaty was happy and well-cared for and my apartment was pristine. Would work with Marissa again in a heartbeat!”
“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”
“Eddie S. Watched our house and two high spirited large dogs. They loved him and did very well with him. He was very conscientious and communicated well. Sent great photos and put us at ease. Definitely plan to have him care for our dogs again!”
“Alex is a slam dunk. Animals were healthy, safe, and happy when we returned. Received regular, daily updates during the week. House was spotless. Definitely a re-book. Thank you so much, Alex!”
About: My family and I are caring and loving and enjoy furry friends company! I’ve been around dogs since a little kid so my experience goes from 2 months old pups to senior pups with special needs (like diabetes, arthritis, etc) I work from home and truly enjoy walking :D I can provide several walks during the day without affecting my work schedule. They can go from 30 to 60 mins. I live in a great dog friendly neighborhood, there's green space and a long trail surrounding the community perfect for those much need it walks.
About: Hi, I'm Jackie! I've had animal companions for just about my whole life, and dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. So whatever your pet's personality, chances are I've cared for one just like them. I have hands-on experience raising and training puppies, and I'm comfortable administering medication. I take pet care seriously, and I treat every animal like one of my own. Your loved one will be in good hands with me! I have a very flexible schedule so I'm able to visit your pet when they need it the most. I like to walk dogs first thing in the morning so they are relaxed. For cats, I'll play with them either before or after their food depending on their mood. I love to start out the mornings with a walk for dogs and then feeding. For cats, I’ll usually feed then wait and play unless the cat has a lot of energy beforehand.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashcake
Carson stayed with our two German Shepherds over the Fourth of July weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent regular photo updates, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. He also took great care of our home, leaving everything clean and exactly as we left it. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. We’d absolutely recommend Carson to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter, and we’d be happy to have him watch our dogs again in the future.
I can only give Isabella 5 Stars but would happily give her more. She was wonderful to work with from the beginning, being very responsive and professional. She listened to our needs and helped customize a schedule that worked for our two dogs. One has some anxiety issues and the other is older and requires daily medications. She handle both with ease. She checked in with me daily and reached out with a couple questions to clarify while we were away to ensure they had the level of care needed. I was so appreciative of this as this was the first time she had stayed with my dogs. The dogs really seem to like her and she them. I was impressed with her attention to detail. We will absolutely hire her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashcake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashcake on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashcake. 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 Ashcake 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 Ashcake 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 Ashcake 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.
