“This was the second time my husband and I hired Hope to stay in our house and watch our dog. She is amazing. She worked around our schedules to accommodate when we needed her to arrive and left the house in stunning condition. She sent daily picture updates of our dog, who absolutely loves her. We know we don't need to worry when we leave our dog (and house) in Hope's care.”
“Drew was so great! He sent plenty of updates while we were gone with photos of their adventures. He came by later to drop off our key and our pup was so excited to see him! She clearly had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands with Drew.”
“Madison was perfect! She sent pictures/updates of our dogs and had no problems reaching out with any questions that came up. We booked her super last minute and had no problems at all. I would recommend her to anyone who has crazy dogs and would definitely book with her again”
“David is absolutely the best! He took wonderful care of our pets (both a dog and cat). Our dog is a senior guy and David took special care to make sure he was comfortable. We feel fortunate to have found such a caring individual we can trust with our pets and home. We will definitely use David again to house sit!”
“Alli was great! She was so patient and gave Rory the space and time she needed to feel comfortable with a new person. We loved getting the updates of her finally warming up. We were able to enjoy our weekend away knowing our girl was safe and well cared for.”
About: I have most of my life in experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, goats. We always had animals at the house and i always would dog sit for my friends and family if they needed me to. I have a big heart and I just love animals of all kinds and want to do something i love I am very flexible with times and days. I spend my days taking care of my animals at home, and up keeping my home. I love animals of all kinds I care for pets of clients just like I do my own! With love and compassion. Every animal deserves that and the best care possible
“Eli was punctual, his communication is excellent! He watched over my dog like I would have and put my mind at ease. He sent pictures and was overall an A+++ sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Chris was extremely professional, reliable and kept us in the loop while house sitting our pup! She was very detail oriented and made sure Hudson was well taken care of during our trip. Would highly recommend and will use her again!”
About: I grew up with animals in my house including a dog, cat, frogs, lizards as I am a biologists daughter who taught me my love for animals. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them I work 8-5 Monday - Thursday and 8-12 on Friday but am available before and after work and on the weekends. I can check on the animals multiple times a day! I am cognizant that all animals have different personalities / needs. My cat has boundaries that I have gotten to know, and I will make sure to do that with any animals I take care of. I keep a routine with my pets so I would be glad to implement and keep yours going
“Jailen took the best care of our sweet girl and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative, kept me in the loop with a little scare, and kept the house tidy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl and that has been many many years ago. I have also worked as an animal tech and research assistant where I maintained animal colonies and worked with large animals. I believe having animals in your life is a blessing. I am retired and I love animals so I thought I would give some love and attention to the animals that need some attention while the owner is away from them. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play. I am also there with the dogs most if not all of the day.
“Blair took wonderful care of our two boisterous dogs over the holidays! We were gone for two weeks and we’ve never come home to happier, more content dogs. She updated us frequently on how they were doing, asked questions when they came up, and accommodated us when we wanted to extend our trip an extra day. We felt so good knowing our dogs and house were in good hands and will be recommending her to all of our dog parent friends!”
“Katie was fantastic! Our fur babies were well taken care of and seemed tired out from their play times with Katie! Thank you so much! We'll be contacting Katie next time we need someone to look after our two trouble makers! 💚”
“Allison was very responsive and professional. She took great care of Cuper, and was able to get Cuper to take her medicine. (Which is tricky.) I would definitely hire Allison again.”
About: Hello! I used this website for sitters when I still had my rescue lab/ hound mix. Now that she passed, I want to support other fur baby parents the same way😁. I had Sadie for almost 6 years. Before Sadie, I house/dog sat regularly for friends for 10years. I'm experienced with reactive dogs, giving medicine in creative ways, taking care of up to 4 dogs at a time, and will take great care of your babies. I work 40hrs a week from 1p-10p Friday - Tuesday. I'm available for house/dog sitting, morning walks, and evening walks. I rent, so I'm not able to pet sit at my apartment. I also want to add that when house/dog sitting, when I'm not at work, I will focus solely on your fur babies and send pictures. I'm currently working 4/10's, and and I'm off on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I'm available to sit every day. When caring for my dog, my life revolved around the dog. You could expect the same cuddles, walks, pictures, and quality time when I care for your fur babies. If house sitting, I would even let them sleep with me in the bed..... unless told otherwise 😁. When caring for your pets in your home, I will follow their schedule, feed them when they are normally fed, take them for walks when they want, rub their bellies when they want. If you are currently working on any special training with them, I would be happy to practice with them. Basically, I would focus on loving them when I'm not at work.
“Brianna was so incredibly attentive to both our cat and dogs needs. Very communicative and kept us up to date on how they were doing throughout the weekend. Would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!”
“Michayla is fabulous. My pup has a special diet and takes medicine and Michayla always does what is needed. Lou gets excited whenever she comes to care for him. Highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ashdale is $46
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashdale
My pups can be high maintenance and she was great with them. She took several pictures and sent them to me and they looked very happy. She has communicated a lot with me to help offer suggestions for my 1 year old that I have been struggling with training. I’m very picky about my babies and I am so thankful we found her.
Laci is great with my Lola! As long as she will care for her, I will continue to use her services. Lola likes her and I feel comfortable leaving her in Laci’s care and that is a great relief when I am gone out of state. I always receive pictures to see how my fur baby is doing. Laci has completed overnight sitting as well as drop in visit. Recommended 100%

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,467 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashdale. 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 Ashdale 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 Ashdale 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 Ashdale 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
