About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for more than 45 years and I love my animals like they are my kids. That’s what you can expect from me while caring for your pets. I’ve had little dogs and big dogs, cats, fish, even horses. I especially love Great Danes and for some reason they love me. I have no fear of them and appreciate their lap dog in a big dog body personalities. My favorite thing is when I’ve just met a new Dane, within a few minutes of meeting them they are comfortable enough to start “herding” me. This is when I know I’ve gained their confidence and trust. Most of them try to sit on my lap, I always let them. ❤️? I’m currently working remotely and have flexibility with my work and schedule. I can be available on a short or advanced notice for visits in my home or yours. I have a semi fenced yard and 2 dog parks nearby. I have 2 cats. One is social and inquisitive while the other is a princess and lounges in her royalty most of the day. Your pet and I would be besties and get as much or little attention as they desire for the duration of their stay with me.

About: **About Me** Hi! I’m Madelyn a dedicated pet sitter with over 7 years of experience caring for animals. I work full-time at an ER animal hospital as a vet tech, where I’ve been for the past 5 years. I am animal CPR certified and skilled in administering both injectable and oral medications, ensuring your pets are in safe hands. My full-time hours are from 10 AM to 10 PM, 3 days a week, but I am available to provide attentive care and personalized attention for your furry friends before and after work. I love animals and am committed to giving them the love, care, and comfort they need while you're away. Let me know how I can help ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved! I work at ER facility. My schedule never changes week by week. I work Sunday-Tuesday 10a-10p. I would be able stop by before and after work and also have 4 days off where I would be able to spend more time with your pet during those days. Since I do have animals of my own at home and I share my house I typically don’t offer to keep animals at my house. I am more than comfortable to go to your house and stay with them there. Since I do have a background of medically taking care of animals I am also more than comfortable medicating dogs/cats or taking on jobs with animals that may have higher needs than other animals.

About: Hi there! My name is Jamiah, but feel free to call me by my nickname, Mia! I started building my pet care business in 2017. Now in 2025, I work at a non profit as a Communications & Marketing Specialist. While I took time away from Rover to start my career, my heart is calling me back to my ultimate passion-providing high quality care and comfort for all furry friends, while meeting fantastic like-minded people along the way! My love for all animals is deeply immense. Thanks to my mother-I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, as well as birds! And I was encouraged to always look out for animals and even saved a pregnant cat and raised a litter of kittens when I was 10 (I will share that story when we have the pleasure of meeting). With the animal lover trait being instilled in me, I take the utmost pride in being selected to look after yours. I currently have 1 dog (german shepherd) and 1 cat! I also take care of my mom’s dog (shepherd mix). I attended Conrad Schools of Science and chose the Animal Science career pathway for 3 years. Those 3 years provided me with the basic knowledge about all barn animals and pets. This experience enabled my passion for helping animals no matter how large or small. I’ve always taken the opportunity to volunteer and give back to shelters who need support. Faithful Friends became my home for a few summers as I walked dogs and cleaned countless litter pans. I am very well-rounded and balanced as it comes to animal care. I truly hope we get a chance to meet for your upcoming pet care needs! I do work full-time right now but my schedule is a hybrid one and thankfully extremely flexible! Do not hesitate to elaborate on your scheduling needs, I will always accommodate and coordinate with you effectively. I’m extremely open and always happy to help out :-) I will provide the utmost level of care and thoughtfulness for your pets as if I was taking care of my own pets in my household. I take your trust very seriously and it’s crucial in building a meaningful relationship as your sitter.

About: I have always loved animals and have been caring for dogs and other pets for over 15 years. I have a 5 year old German Shepherd, who is strong and high energy, therefore, I am well equipped to work with larger dogs (of course the little ones too!). I got Barbossa when he was 12 weeks old, I am familiar with the training process and following through. I have watched elderly dogs before and know how important patience is. I always ensure your pet is safe in my care. I strive to give your pet all the love, walking, playing, and cuddles when in my care. I work full time at home with a flexible schedule therefore I am available to walk, feed and play with your pets! I am available most days during the day, nights, and weekends. While caring for pets, safety is my number 1 priority. I ensure I know the ins and outs of the locations, the dog’s behaviors, and what stimulates them. If there is a yard, playing fetch, running, playing etc. are always a fun activity. Walking, running, swimming are activities I love to do with your dog. Ensuring your pet is safe, taken care of properly, bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, and snuggles are always provided .

I am able to work around my schedule in order to help with your dog's needs. I am offering over night services at your own home, dog walking, and check-ins when needed.

About: Just graduated with my PhD in Clinical Psychology and am completing my pediatric psychology post doc fellowship- so I have flexibility with advanced notice. I promise to treat your best friend as my very own. You will not find another individual as dedicated to providing love, support, care, exercise and fun. Very big promotor of positive reinforcement! I believe pets are family. I currently have a rescue pup from Aruba who does experience significant anxiety and reactivity in novel situations and feel comfortable working with dogs who experience similar challenges. Previous experience includes extended house sitting for a family on sabitical for 6 months. During this time period, Midget (a 30lb rescue) was my number 1 companion. She was able to experience a ton of new things. I grew up with 2 Lab Retrievers, and my parents now have a black lab boarder collie mix, Sophia, and have experience taking care of larger, as well as elderly dogs. I have also done long term drop in dog care for 2 puppies. I've always been an athlete so taking longer walks or running with your buddy will not be a problem. I love hiking and I am happy to take your dog on hikes if you would like. Reference contact information available per request. My schedule is relatively flexible with advanced notice but also not always consistent. Please get in touch with me so that we can figure out a plan that would work best. As always, if we have a booking scheduled, your dog is my first priority. When watching your dog, I want them to be safe and happy and your trust in me is something that I highly value. I will provide frequent updates.

About: Hi, I'm Lesley and lucky enough to have the ability to travel to where you live to take care of your animals and your home. I'm ready, willing, and able to help out with what you need and want for your animals. I have over two decades of experience in caring for pets -- grew up with 2 yellow labs. When I went off to college, it was the first time I experienced having the whole bed to myself. No hogging doggies.!! Since my 20s, I've had cats. Lately, I have taken care of dogs mostly -- all sizes and shapes from small Jack Russells to large pit bulls. Some with special needs and special diets and some super healthy and wanting a zillion walks. I've even taken care of a bunny (named Valentino who did tricks). No doubt about it: pets are our children and please be assured if your pets are in my care they will be well taken care of and well loved. And your home and rules respected. A bit about me: I worked as an office manager for tech startups in the Bay Area but recently decided to have more of a work-life balance and decided to travel for the past two years and pet sit at the same time -- combining both my loves. Now i am settled in Wilmington and ready to take care of your babies! I am now retired (how can that be!!) so I have flexibility and time to take care of pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I absolutely follow the rules of pet owners to ensure the safety of the animals I take care. If an emergency situation arises, I contact the owner(s) immediately. Communication is key.

I needed a dog walker last-minute for a trip the very next day, and she not only took the booking but came over that same day to meet my dog and get everything sorted. That kind of flexibility and care is rare. She was warm, professional, and clearly put my dog’s comfort first from the start. Highly recommend—especially if you ever need someone dependable on short notice!

Absolutely — here’s a warm, enthusiastic review that highlights Julia’s reliability and the peace of mind she gives you while you’re at work: Julia is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of my dog, Arlo, while I’m away at work, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She is dependable, caring, communicative, and truly treats Arlo like he’s her own. Knowing that Julia is coming by during the day to let Arlo out gives me such peace of mind. She goes above and beyond to make sure he gets some attention, care, and a much-needed break during the day. I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. She has been amazing with Arlo, and I feel completely comfortable knowing he is in such good hands while I’m at work. We are so grateful to have found her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ashland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 7,459 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Ashland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ashland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashland. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
