“Kailey was very attentive to Roman. She sent constant photos and updates about my dog that made me feel very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of. She took care of my apartment and I have no complaints. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”
“This was our 2nd time having Sheila stay with our hyper and energetic pit mix. She was responsive, clean, and every helped with other household things (skimmed pool, watered garden). Our pup takes medication which was given as prescribed. Sheila sent photos and updates and I felt very at ease knowing our house and pup were in good hands. We will definitely be using Sheila again and recommend her to anyone.”
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”
“Absolutely wonderful! This was our first stay with her and already booked her to watch our dogs again in the future. She put us at ease with leaving her with our anxious girl but she gave them both so much love. Great at communicating and sending updates/photos!”
“Michelle was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She let us know when she arrived and gave them lots of love. She sent us pictures and updates of our guys. She was great and we plan on using her again.”
About: I am a hairstylist the recently found a love in pet sitting and walking! The salon I work at actually fosters cats🐾 I always grew up with animals and always wanted to be a vet when I was younger. Since I’m unable to have my own pets, I am able to give all my lovings to yours🫶 I am able to complete any task asked of me. I am reliable, clean, and hardworking. Your pets will be in great hands! As I am a full time hairstylist, dog walking will be my most obtainable service! I am available Wednesdays, Friday and Saturday afternoons, and all day Sundays! I am able to provide pet care on Wednesdays, as well as Saturday afternoons, and Sundays. I occupy and entertain pets while inside, as well as take care of what is needed (feeding, cleaning, and medicine.) I monitor pets while outside, whether that be fenced in or not, as well as take them on walks.
About: I have cared for both small dogs and medium sized dogs. Have implemented special diets (Farmer's Dog) given medications through food or a treat. Assisted in foster care. Can follow leash and harness preferences and always have poop bags on the ready. I have slept beside puppies who are needy throughout the night. I am a full time K-12 art teacher so I would be available for any pet care services mostly on the weekends and few selected nights throughout the week. I would stay in the areas of the home that the pet is residing and or whichever areas that the client feels comfortable with. Example being the living room or dining room.
“Iviah was perfect . I felt so much better having someone stay with my elder dog . She gave me so much peace of mind which let me enjoy my trip . She went above and beyond with my elder dog. A god send! I would 100% recommended her .”
“Andrew is the best! He was very attentive to our cats and send photos daily. We weren’t worried at all! Communication was wonderful and no issues at all. Would highly recommend him.”
“Aryssa was great watching our dog when we were away. She checked on her and followed our directions perfectly and would send us updates and pictures of our dog which was really nice. We highly recommend and can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! I work a full time job 3:30 to midnight so my hours of availability are mornings until 2PM and I have off on weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your pups on those days. I take the time to double check with pet parents booking with me to see if my schedule works for them so I can make sure I am the best fit for you and your pets! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.
“Syd was absolutely wonderful. We’ve had some rocky experiences in the past with pet sitters but Syd put us right at ease. She was truly a magical human and our animals and home were well taken care of. Absolutely recommend for others and will definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Syd!!”
About: While I’ve only been pet sitting outside of my family for 6 years, I have never went without a pet at home & have volunteered with quite a few rescues! Currently only working part time, so I have a few extra days of the week available! Plus my shifts at work are almost always less than 8 hours. I unfortunately don’t do pet sitting in my home, as I have animals of my own. I do offer drop ins, dog walking & staying at your home with your pets!
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of pets, including reptiles, cats, dogs, and small animals. Pets are a part of your family, and they deserve care that shows it. I have a very flexible schedule, so I have more than enough time to care for your pet! I am available for overnight care Sunday-Thursday, and daytime care daily. Playing with your pet and making sure they are staying happy and healthy is very important to me. When your pet is in my care, I will do my best to fulfill all of their needs!
About: I have been a dog lover all my life! I have experience with raising 4 dogs of my own since they were puppies and I have successfully potty trained them quickly and efficiently. I would love to help you with your needs for your pet while you are away! We have a fenced in yard where the dogs love to run around and play! I love giving dogs a good, safe place to play and roam.... and I am ready to help you fit your pet care needs into my schedule! I have a fenced-in backyard and a yellow lab to help keep your little love-bug company! I let the dogs out often and love to give them attention as well as plenty of treats and love! I also enjoy letting the dogs relax and play outside as long as they would like to enjoy the weather!
“We just got back from a short weekend away for my wife's B-Day and this was the first time we found and used Serena for petsitting. We can't say enough GOOD about her all around! We have a 10 month old Mini Bernadoodle and an 8 year old Bernadoodle who seemed to be very well taken care of and HAPPY when we returned. Our home was also well maintained and was as we left it when we left on vacation. Our last shot at this didn't go so well and needed to find a new sitter which is why I feel the need to post this about Serena.....she was wonderful, so down to earth, very trust worthy and we certainly will be using her again! ;)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashfield
We had a fantastic experience and couldn’t recommend Kailey more! We booked her for a long-term stay over the holidays to care for our two cats, and she was amazing. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We will always recommend Kailey!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 741 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashfield. 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 Ashfield 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 Ashfield 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 Ashfield 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.
