About: I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have experience caring for neighbors’ dogs and currently work part-time with a pet care company, where I help with walking and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I’d give my own! ❤️ I work remotely part-time for a pet care company and make my own schedule, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m excited to offer my own services as well and spend even more time caring for pets. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their parent’s instructions closely. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled safely, and I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.

“Everything was great with Maria taking care of our cat. He needs heart medication administered twice a day (in a pill pocket), so we needed someone reliable. Cats aren't always easy to watch because they are wary of new people, but Maria powered through and made sure Loki was cared for...even when he insisted on hiding under the bed! Thanks, Maria!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity and grateful experience to watch all types of dogs since I was around the age of 12 🙂. I love it and will always offer free time for Pets. Also if there is something you have a question on regarding price or availability please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am a very flexible person and willing to work with anyone. I do currently work full-time from home however I would love to fill up some of my days with helping with local dog walking or dog. I am very flexible with any pets needs and wants. I am open to following any pets daily regimen. I want all pets to feel comfortable in there normal routine and not break it.
About: After taking some time away from pet sitting, I recently moved back home and knew I wanted to start doing something I genuinely missed and loved — caring for animals! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and love how much personality and emotion they’re able to express without saying a word. I have years of experience caring for my own pets as well as pets through Rover, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, feeding schedule, potty needs, energy level, and any special care they may require. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather cuddle up and get belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re with me. I’m patient, affectionate, responsible, and always pay close attention to changes in behavior or anything that seems out of the ordinary. After all, they’re family members, too, and they deserve all the love, attention, and care we can give them. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness and care I would want someone to give my own!
About: I had my first dog at nine, but cared for friends and families’ pets before that to prepare myself. I’ve always been good with animals and would be honored to care for yours in your absence. I’m also decent at getting them to take any medication that they might need. I am in between jobs at the moment and have my own transportation so caring for your babies would be at the top of my priorities I will tailor care for your pets based on your needs and preferences. Let me know your pet’s routine so that I don’t disrupt it too much. I will, of course, use crates if needed, and doors and locks will always be checked.
“Sydney was fantastic! She took such great care of my senior cat, provided great pictures, and had such great communication. I really can't recommend her enough and will definitely call her back :)”
“Jingyi was absolutely wonderful with Blu! She paid close attention to his needs and made sure to reach out right away if she had any questions or concerns, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated the little updates she shared and how detail-oriented she is, it clearly showed how much she cared. We felt confident that Blu was in great hands the entire time!”
“I felt very relieved knowing while I was out of town my 2 cats were well taken care of by Jackie. I appreciated the text messages letting me know when each visit started and ended. I loved getting photos of my cats each day.”
“Kevin was great. We had him cat sit for us while we were on vacation. Our cat warmed up to him immediately and they became fast friends. He was very helpful and diligent in cleaning the litter box. Would recommend him again!”
“We only had Lisa Marie stop by for one day but we’re verify happy with her service! Instructions were followed and there was good communication. There was only one minor misunderstanding which wasn’t too big of a deal. We’d be glad to have Lisa look after our kitties again”
“Ellie was so great at communication but most importantly, she took great care of Luna! The pictures I got showed Luna had a great time with Ellie!!! Will definitely rebook again! I highly recommend Ellie 😊”
“Stephanie is very conscientious has taken good care of my lab for dat time drop ins and check ins with my cat while I was traveling. I know my pets are in good hands with Stephanie!”
About: My family has had our dog Scooby since he was 3 weeks old and he is now 6 years old. I’ve trained him since he was young how to behave and he knows plenty of tricks too! I also used to dog sit/babysit for family members often. I currently have an internship and am busy Tuesdays-Thursdays but I’m available on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends when needed. My schedule can be flexible so let me know and I might be able to accommodate! I prefer to travel to clients within the East Bay Area. Safety is always my top priority in mind, for both your pet and myself. I understand that some dogs need time to adjust to new people and I always want to create a comfortable environment for them.
About: **Update 8/2024: I will not be able to board dogs at my place for awhile. For dogsitting, I try to keep my calendar updated with my limited time, but feel free to message me if it looks like I'm not available! Apologies for the inconvenience!** I specialize in reactive and anxious dogs, especially of the bigger variety! I understand the anxiety of finding a sitter who can safely and lovingly manage your fur baby's issues. Having dealt with special needs dogs of my own, I have special experience and patience working with bigger dogs, especially reactive or anxious ones from traumatic backgrounds. I develop a bond and engagement with the pup so that they feel secure and loved while their parents (you) are away and communicate often for peace of mind. *Note that new clients will require at least one meet and greet meeting before we get to work with each other. The first meet and greet is free. More details will be sent in bookings. ================= Dogs enrich my life better than just myself alone. Sometimes I look at my pet or my fur clients and am so amazed that they love us so unconditionally. I have owned dogs of all sizes ranging from chihuahuas to Staffies. I have volunteered my time to work with K9s. I have housebroken and trained all of my dogs to learn verbal and visual commands plus additional tricks. If you are interested in your pet improving certain skills, I can also help with that while your pup under my care - it's an additional service I offer at no extra charge. I can either follow your method or offer my recommendations. It will be enough of a reward when your doggie is able to show off any improvement in their reactivity. I know how difficult it is to manage daily, but will still have hope and never give up on your fur baby. I'd love to pass on what I've learned in hopes that it helps someone else as well. I am attentive, honest, as well as communicative. I I will treat your house like my own, leaving it the way it came when I pass it back to you! Though my primary focus is on your dog and house, if your dog prefers a play buddy then I can bring my dog Tank, who has gotten along well with resident dogs, is well behaved, and 100% housebroken (not even marking). Let me know if you are interested in having Tank also hang out and play! He has made a few BFFs with my clients :) Communication: I shall update you on your dog's status with photos - they may even appear on my dog's page as just their name, no other identifying information (let me know if you prefer your dog to not appear in photos). I am active outside of my home and I would gladly bring your dogs with me and guarantee that my utmost priority is making sure they return home safe. During the pandemic I still social distance and pretty much keep to myself most of the time, minimizing contact with other people. Let me know if you need me to practice any other precautions. Ping me with any questions! I sometimes go into the office for work and sometimes just work from home. I take my pet sitting job seriously, playing and training with them as much as I can and helping them feel safe. For my own health, I have to engage in regular walking everyday and what better walking companion than a dog? I wake up to immediately take the dogs out to potty then give the dogs breakfast. Active time happens after that with an afternoon nap time and back to active time and dinner. I take their medications seriously as well as other instructions. I will never complain about too many details, so please indulge me!

Katherine was a delight to work with. She graciously agreed to walk my elderly dog booking her services last minute and she followed my instructions to the T. She is prompt with communication, professional and very reliable. I will definitely book more visits with her! Thank you so much!
Dani has been caring for our two cats for over 2+ years now when we’re out of town. She is absolutely amazing with the cats and she’s a great communicator. It’s such a blessing that we have Dani, we don’t have to worry about the cats on our trips which is a huge relief!
Our first Rover experience went stellar! Ivana is responsive, kind and so loving! Our pups were completely comfortable with her! Highly recommend Ivana for your pet sitting needs…looking forward to using her again in the future…5 stars aren’t enough..10000/10 experience 💕💕
Lia was an excellent communicator throughout the petsitting process and made me feel very safe about leaving my beloved cat son in her care! She clearly loves animals and knows a lot about how to care for them—including those with special medical needs. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future and would highly recommend her care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashland is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $58 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,085 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Ashland. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
