“Very efficient and on top of things! And Deirdre was very accommodating to changes in my schedule. Most surprising of all, she managed to make friends with both my cats on day one (they can be wary of new people). A++ would recommend”

About: I don’t know life without furry friends! I was born into a family with two cats and a dog. Growing up, I took care of my own hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs. For over 10 years, I have taken care of my community members’ dogs of all sizes, cats of all temperaments, and small critters. As a cat mom, I know how important it is to find a sitter who treats your pets like family and I will do just that. The last 11 years, I’ve been primarily busy with grad school and taking care of my own 3 cats but recently my eldest crossed the rainbow bridge and I now work fully remotely, so decided to pick back up what I love! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, cats, and small animals. I can also administer medication and am insured with Pet Care Insurance. I work fully remotely, so have more flexibility to watch your pets and walk your dogs! I have varying weekday morning and nighttime availability. My weekends are generally free and I plan to be available over most holidays. If I were to stay in your home to care for your animal(s), I would treat your home with the utmost respect and be able to keep them to their usual routine. I am comfortable with having your pup in my car if they like rides, need to go to the vet, or driven to a park. The same applies for kitty cats!

About: I had a dog all of my life (black lab mix) and took him on daily walks. I was also responsible for feeding him and on the occasionally washed him outside in the yard (he didn't like water so it was messy!) Most importantly, I loved him a whole lot. I don't have any pets currently, so I am excited to start interacting with animals again! I work full time (morning shift) so I am available as early as 3pm to simply stop by or to go for a walk! I like to walk daily in the park or the neighborhood so adding a dog would be wonderful! I will do my best to respect the dog's routine and do everything I can to keep them entertained and comfortable as if they were with their owner.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 years old. I’ve had both large and small dogs, and have trained puppies and taken care of senior cats and dogs. My friends and family refer to me as a “Disney princess” because of how well animals respond to me. I work from home, but cannot board in my home. That being said, my equipment is portable, which means I am able to stay at your home to give your pets a constant presence if needed. It also allows me some flexibility in visiting times. I am capable of crating dogs if needed, maintaining puppy training, and walking all sizes and temperaments. For cats I ensure fresh food, water, and litter daily, as well as some pets and scritches if they accept them (we all know how picky cats can be!)

“Carolyn did a great job caring for our two cats! She was timely with her visits, she was very communicative with thorough texts, feeding routine recaps, and several photos at each check-in. Our cats each need medication twice daily and she was able to administer and problem solve when they made it tricky for her. Great first experience with Carolyn - and Rover.”

“We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️”

About: I've been a weekly volunteer at various local animal shelters for five years now, working as both shelter support staff with and a dog and cat socialization volunteer. In addition, I have two cats of my own at home who I miss dearly as a college student, and I have plenty of experience with the day to day maintenance and housekeeping tasks of cat and dog owners, alike. In addition, I have experience with geriatric pets and medication administration, both orally and through injections. I understand the importance of sticking to a feeding schedule and can reliably come at the same times each day. Most importantly, I love socializing with animals, and I will make sure that your pet gets plenty of play time in each visit! I'm a current college student, so I have time around my classes to come and visit your pet! I am most available from 6 am-9 am and 5 pm-8 pm on the weekdays, but on the weekends I have much more flexibility and am available all day! I give a lot of attention and love to the pets that I care for. I devote an hour of playtime to make sure that your pet is socialized and happy while you are away! I also think that it is very important that your pet is in a clean and healthy environment, so I make sure to clean their food bowls, refill their waters, and scoop their litter every visit. I also make sure to keep waste out of the house, so I always take out the trash with litter and empty food tins each visit : )

About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...And I put a certain radius, which is more so for popins...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have 2 of my own at the moment as well as spending a lot of time volunteering at a local shelter and have met many different breeds. I am more than happy to watch over a sweet senior or a bouncy puppy, just let me know! I'm currently taking classes online, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I'm available most days to pet sit or take the pups for walks. I would love to do a 'meet and greet' with your fur babies if you would like. Feel free to message me as much as needed!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ashland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ashland is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $36 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 1,678 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.

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.
