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.
“Mary is exceptional. Apart from taking great care of our two cats while we were gone for a week, unfortunately one of our cats got sick. She communicated with us and ensure she got taken care of. Cant thank her enough for that. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Katsiaryna has taken care of our puppy a few times both for drop in visits and house sitting. She has always been very communicative and patient with our pup who is a bit of a handful 😅 also super cute puppy pictures! A+”
About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! AVAILABLE Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday weekend! 11/26-11/29 I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs Availability: Daycare/House sitting - None. Boarding - Dropoff after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking - Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun Availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Message to confirm. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate-trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through the open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs at various stages of life. I am used to the overly energetic puppies, the attitude of the "dognager/teenager" dogs and the adult and senior animals as well. I have handle pullers and pups that are leash trained. I have even trained multiple of my own dogs and have learned amazing tips from professional trainers. I love bath time which most people hate because it has the most laughable moments. I am currently a stay at home mom of 4 as of Friday and I'm looking to continue with my work in pet care. I did 4 years at petsmart, before that I was a wag walker for a year. I have a fenced in yard with two large dogs of my own. Both dog friendly. I am able to pet sit at the owners house as well as long as it's not an overnight shift.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 so I have experience with young dogs, senior dogs, puppies (5-8 pups!), small or big dogs. Whether it's helping an anxious shy dog feel safe, a puppy get trained, making sure a senior dog is comfy and has had their meds, or getting the wiggles out of a playful energetic dog, I've done it! And I've done so with lots of compassion, patience, and care. I'm working part time as a music teacher Mon-Thur in the afternoons so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fur family member! I am generally open Friday-Sunday and also during mornings/late evenings Mon-Thur. I care for dogs in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and send regular photo updates. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away :)
“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”
About: I’ve owned 2 dogs in my lifetime, a terrier-mix and Pomeranian-mix. Raised both from puppies through their unfortunate passing. Although I’ve owned smaller dogs, bigger dogs are my favorite because of their energy. Regardless of size, I’ll be sure to keep your dog cared for and entertained. Childless home. Full-time at home worker. Flexible enough schedule to fit in dog walks at a minimum every 2-4 hours. Athletic enough for long walks or short runs. I have a fenced patio for your dog to relax and get fresh air with and without shade. In door option is also available but clients should note that the home has 3 floors but will happily assist friends in need up the stairs.
“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
About: My experience taking care of my own cat and dogs in my home for the last 10 years has given me a lot of knowledge about how pets behave and how to make sure they are happy while their parents are away. I helped raise my parents two King Charles Cavaliers, a very affectionate and hyper breed, and took care of them when mom and/or dad went away. I am experienced with grooming long hair on the ears and tail, and I wouldn't mind brushing your dog or cat as much as they allow. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments! I can make sure they are well-exercised on walks. I've had my cat since I was 8 years old, so I have plenty of experience with cat care. I know when to back off and when to redirect and play with cats, and I never mind giving plenty of pets. I am available all of the time unless I have plans in place. I am very flexible as well. Please reach out to me and we can figure out something that works for both of us. Any precautions you make me aware of will always be followed. I will adjust what I do depending on the animals mood, and make sure their needs are met. I always make sure that the animal(s) are happy and hopefully tuckered out by the time I leave. I always clean up after myself and the pet(s), so you don't have to worry about coming home to a mess. I also am a plant lady, so I am happy to keep your plants watered and cared for.
“Updates me everyday of specific details that happened during visit. Followed all instructions! I think I found my go-to cat sitter. Will definitely book again if available. Kitty seems to really like her based on the photos. Thanks for everything!”
About: My husband & I have been dog parents for nearly 20 years, caring for our 1st furbaby Gelato for almost 14 years (he passed 3 years ago :( ) and currently caring for his sister from another mister Nutella for the past 5 :). We know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else because they’re truly part of the family. We provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. We can only care for a small number of dogs at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention. We do have a dog at home so we will only be accepting dog-friendly dogs. My husband & I will be watching your pup! I work twice a week in the office but my husband will be home full time. We are available during the weekend full time based on our availability. We have a fence front and back yard. As long as your dog isn’t prone to jumping fences we can leave them in the front yard for some outside play time. If not, we have a backyard with a doggy door where they can go in and out all day. Backyard is fully secured.
“Lia did an incredible job taking care of my 2 cats. She was great at communicating and providing updates/pictures on how my cats were doing. I felt comfortable leaving them in her care during my short vacation.”
“Supriya did fantastic. We have total peace in mind knowing she was there and everything was well taken care of. Thanks for checking everything like his litter box, food, health, etc. We appreciate you looking after our little angel baby and sending us the most adorable photos. We will definitely be in contact again for future trips!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
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 💕💕
Katie did an amazing job with Raven! Our dog is reactive and needed to meet new people slowly. Katie was very mindful of her and followed all of our directions! She also gave our dog so much love during her visit - rest assured that your pet will be taken care of !
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.
