About: I’ve been around animals ever since I was born. I live on a farm and have been taking care of different animals as long as I can remember. I understand each pet has a different personality and I look forward to learning everything about them and accommodating in any way they may need. I work part time on the weekends but am free throughout the week to give your pet lots of love and the care they need. I have a fairly large yard and love going for walks. I also have a wonderful dog who is extremely friendly and slightly shy/awkward. Whatever enrichment your animal needs, I will do everything in my power to provide.
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, and I also had a wonderful dog named Morgan, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adapt to whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. If you’d like me to meet your pet before the booking, I’m more than happy to do so. If your pet prefers a calm environment, extra playtime, a specific routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll gladly follow your instructions. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box (for cats) or picking up after walks (for dogs), playtime, administering medications (if needed and with clear instructions), and maintaining any special routines. I’ll always respect your home, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can go over their routine in detail. I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Hailey was great with Banner! He was a little wary at first, but she was patient with him and eventually won him over. She took good care of him and left my house clean and tidy. Thanks Hailey!”
About: I’ve worked with various types of pets, providing reliable care for dogs and cats. I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors, many of whom have repeatedly entrusted me with their beloved companions. My commitment to attentive and compassionate care ensures that pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. Pet care is an essential part of my routine. I have everything a pet owner needs—except for a pet of my own. Whenever I have someone else’s pet in my care, I always prioritize their schedule over my own. I care for every pet equally and with diligence. I treat each one as my own and provide everything I can to ensure their happiness.
“Rowan was fantastic. She kept our boy busy with swimming, walks and a lot of playtime with other dogs. He was exhausted and seemed disappointed to see us when we returned! Our house was immaculate when we got home. She sent pictures and updates all during the weekend. Thanks Rowan, we look forward to working with you again soon!”
“I recently hired Kerly to watch my dog, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment I reached out, Kerly was professional and responsive, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and preferences. During the stay, Kerly provided regular updates on how my dog was doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that Kerly has a genuine love for animals and created a comfortable environment for my pet. When I returned home, my dog was relaxed and happy, which reassured me that he had been well cared for. I highly recommend Kerly for anyone in need of a reliable and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Kerly, for taking such great care of Cue!”
“Emily was AWESOME. Very communicative upfront and during her stay watching Koby. I came back from vacation to a happy dog and a perfect house. Will 100% rebook the next time I vacation.”
About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals including domesticated animals, agriculture/farm animals, and aquatic animals. I Have also housesit for friends and clients. I am currently working a full-time time job, I work in the medical industry making health and care #1 priority. I am available after 2:30 PM to 5:30 AM. I have a fenced in yard, no other animals or pets in the environment. Parks nearby for walking and play. Animal Emergency services right down the road.
“Amanda was amazing with our dog during an overnight! She was responsible, kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. She left our house very clean and took great care of our dog. She sent fun pictures and responded to my texts quickly. We’ve already booked her to dogsit again!”
“Marissa was AWESOME with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She made our shy dog super comfortable, took great care of everyone and our house, was prompt and reliable, and communicated frequently during our 4-night trip. Highly recommend and will definitely use her again if she’s available.”
About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.
“Erica watched our dog in our house while we were away. She was very responsive and easy to work with. We appreciated that she communicated with us routinely during that time. She went above and beyond!”
“Katherine was great with our 2 dogs and our cat. She even got our rambunctious pups to walk on leash together, something we still struggle with. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog sitter who truly loves spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. i just joined Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience volunteering and caring for animals, so I understand how important routine, attention, and trust are when it comes to pet care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I work full time during the week, but I always make time in my schedule to provide reliable care for pets. I plan ahead to ensure I can give each dog the attention, walks, and care they need, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’m committed to being dependable and making sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and any special care needs, including medications if required. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so the pet doesn’t feel alone while their owner is away. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean and tidy, and I always provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ashford is $0 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $0 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Ashford 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 Ashford 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 Ashford 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashford. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
