“When we got home after 5 days away, I swear our dog was disappointed to see us instead of Shanisa! I received daily photos and videos with updates of our dog and cat while we were away, and she was very communicative leading up to and throughout her stay. She will be the first person we reach out to in the future when we need a house/petsitter!”
“Debi is wonderful! This was another stay for our girl Piper with her, and once again we felt completely comfortable knowing Piper was in such caring hands. Debi is warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She also took great care of our home and grounds and sent wonderful pictures and updates throughout the entire time we were gone.It means so much to be able to leave Piper and not worry about her—and Piper is always happy and comfortable with Debi. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. Thank you, Debi! ❤️🐾”
“Tricia is, hands down, the best pet sitter we have ever had! From start to finish, she went so far above and beyond her basic duties to make sure our home and our dog were completely cared for. Our boy can be extremely picky and hesitant with new people, but Tricia bonded with him almost instantly. He is also a big boy which can intimidate some people. She knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. She played and brushed him daily and have him lots of cuddles! Her communication was incredible. She updated us multiple times every single day and sent plenty of photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind the entire time we were gone and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed he was with her! On top of being an absolute natural with dogs, Tricia took exceptional care of our house and garden, tackling extra tasks and leaving everything in pristine condition for our return. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring—especially if you have a selective or picky dog—look no further than Tricia. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for years and have also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of ages, personalities, and routines. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs, strict medication schedules, and specific daily routines.I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing attentive, individualized care. Whether a dog needs medication, extra patience, a consistent routine, or simply plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a super flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care! I’m comfortable following individual feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around a pet’s specific needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own! I carefully follow each owner’s instructions/routines, keep pets in a safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries, especially with shy, nervous, senior, or special-needs pets. I want both pets and their owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they’re in my care!
About: I’m currently a Momma of 3 cats and a puppy. I’ve not always had my own dog but if I didn’t my parents had plenty I would help care for. I have rescue volunteer experience. I would go in and walk and care for the dogs at the rescue and even take them on day trips and adoption events. I have also house sat overnight for dogs and cats while their parents where on vacation. I am currently able to make my own schedule and would love to prioritize pet care as often as I can. I can keep my schedule flexible. I have a very small 5 month old puppy who is leash trained and doing very well with potty training. We do not currently have a fenced in area but do live in a community with an area for dogs to play on long leashes. As for in your home, I believe it’s very important to follow the owners instructions on how they do things normally in their space. I am not looking to confuse the animal and keeping to their normal routine is best.
“Rachel came to stay with our pups for a week while we were away on vacation, and did an amazing job! We got lots of pictures and videos, and updates on how they were doing. I felt so comfortable knowing she was there with them, and was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest. We will definitely book with her again in the future, and absolutely recommend her for all your pet-sitting needs!! Thank you, Rachel!”
“Michaela was fantastic! Sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and we felt so reassured knowing she was taking such good care of our dogs. House was so clean and pups were happy!”
About: My home is always filled with love and laughter over our dogs. Jack is 10 yr Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Peppa is 8 yr Chihuahua. Good nutrition, comfort, care, love and exercise are the keys to our content and playful pets. I am currently retired, and I have time on my hands. Dogs are very important to me, I feel they know more than we think they know. To give a dog comfort, company in your time of need would be my pleasure. I will take your instruction on how you’d like me to structure walks, exercise, feeding and meds. The playing and affection part is included. I will help you keep you pet on their routine.
About: With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring reliability, attentiveness, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to provide peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time, with one day each week working from home, which gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins. On the days I’m in the office, I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I also have weekend availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so providing dependable, loving care is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet and home while traveling, so I make it a priority to follow routines closely, keep your space clean, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing, I work to make sure they feel secure, happy, and right at home while in my care.
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats—and have taken great pleasure in doing so—since I was a kid. I’ve also had a chameleon and turtles, and am always eager to learn! I am currently unemployed and have ample time to walk your pups, host them at my house, and more! I lost my own dog earlier this year and have boundless love and care ready for the pets of my community! I live in a house with a large backyard (unfenced). I also love taking long walks and have been missing the company of a fur baby when going! If crate trained, you will need to provide a crate.
“Sam was the best!! She watched our Ella girl for us while we went out for the evening and sent pictures throughout the night and stayed in touch! Ella definitely enjoyed her company while we were away 🥰 very communicative & professional and we will be in touch for the future!😊”
“Jophnie has been an excellent sitter for my babies. She kept in touch with me several times a day, which I really appreciated. Everything looked great when I got home. Everything was straightened up and clean. The dogs seemed happy when I got home. Very, very satisfied!! I will definitely use her again!!”
“Paige did an excellent job sitting for our Belgian Malinois (Hoobie) and our Chocolate Labrador (Bella). Paige was timely and efficient, spending much time playing with the dogs and making sure they were comfortable. Paige had come by several days before to meet the dogs, and when she showed up the day of sitting the dogs were thrilled to see her! Handling two dogs at once (especially a Malinois!) can be challenging, but Paige made it look easy, you can tell she loves dogs and all animals! We highly recommend Paige, and will be asking her to dog sit again soon!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats belonging to friends, family, colleagues, and other clients! I grew up with two family Miniature Schnauzers and have also helped foster kittens, which gave me valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs. Over the past three years, I’ve regularly provided cat-sitting services for families and colleagues in Washington, D.C., caring for their cats anywhere from a few hours to several weeks at a time. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, interactive playtime, providing companionship, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I understand that every cat has its own personality, whether they’re playful, affectionate, shy, or independent, and I always respect their individual needs and routines. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to provide regular photos and updates while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home! I currently have a flexible schedule throughout October and am available for weekday and weekend pet care, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting! Beginning in November, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll remain available on weekends and weekday evenings after 5:30 PM. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love incorporating pet care into my routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently offer pet care in clients’ homes, where I carefully follow all instructions, feeding schedules, walking routines, and household guidelines. I respect each family’s home and make sure pets receive attentive, loving care in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away!
“Amanda did a wonderful job with our pups and our house. She is reliable, communicative, and a pleasure to have stay in our home while we are away! Thank you so much, Amanda, for your help with Ruby and Rosie this week!!!!”

Heidi was wonderful with JoJo last Friday, as she always has been. She is caring, attentive to his needs, detail oriented and keeps us posted on how he is doing. JoJo responds enthusiastically to her attention and care. We enjoyed an evening away from home with no concerns knowing JoJo was well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,418 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashland. 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 Ashland 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 Ashland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ashland 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
