About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.

“Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!”

About: I love animals, but most of all I love dogs. I started volunteering with a rescue in North Carolina, where I walked shelter dogs, mostly bully breeds. I also have several of my own dogs, so I have lots of experience caring for dogs, walking them, and playing with them. I love to play in the backyard with toys and balls, and I also enjoy taking a stroll around the neighborhood. I find that dogs need both physical stimulation, as well as mental stimulation throughout the day. I am not allergic to any types of dogs or cats. I am willing to provide both to the best of my ability. Please rest assured that your dog will be loved as if it were my own, and be in great hands!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing outside, or just spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to keep pets active, loved, and safe, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I love having the opportunity to spend my break doing something I enjoy—being active, outdoors, and taking care of pets. It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with my free time during the summer months. When school starts, I’m available after 3pm. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely under supervision, which gives them a great outlet for exercise and fresh air. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, making sure their pets feel secure and cared for while maintaining consistency in their daily lives.

“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 lived and worked with dogs my whole life; big and small, young and old, and a variety of breeds. I started walking friends’ and neighbors’ dogs on my own as a teenager, and I first stayed over as a dog sitter not long after that. Over the years, I’ve gotten quick at reading what a dog needs in the moment, whether that’s more physical activity, some quiet space, or just reassurance and time, and giving them exactly that. I’m comfortable handling the messier and more unpredictable parts of the job too, from accidents to nervous or anxious behavior, without missing a beat. More than anything, I love spending time with animals, and I can’t wait to build a real connection with every animal I work with. - Dog walker for 14+ years (more than 20 dogs, all sizes/ages) -Dog sitter for 10+ years (More than 12 dogs, including households with multiple pets, multiple night stays, familiar and first-time clients) I currently work part-time in a remote role, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day/week to walk, feed, and play with dogs without any sense of time limitations. I’m available across weekdays and weekends, and almost any time of day, whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening stay. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My promise is to engage with your pet on your terms and with the utmost transparency and communication. I’ll follow the expectations you set (feeding time, walks, medications) so your dog’s routine is as normal as possible while you’re away. I will keep you in the loop throughout with updates, photos, and check-ins. This same care extends to your home, tidy, undisturbed, and just as you left it.

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.

“I can’t say enough great things about Morgan. Tony and Maple love her. She is wonderful with them, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. Tony is a quirky dog, and she tends to every need he has, paying close attention. Both dogs adore her, and it shows by how happy and relaxed they are when they see her. She’s extremely reliable and always shows up on time. On top of that, she’s completely focused on whatever the dogs need. I especially love that after every visit, she provides thoughtful updates, including bathroom breaks, activities, and how much they’ve eaten, which is very helpful.”

About: would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I have a deep, lifelong love for animals and truly enjoy spending quality time making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing with favorite toys, or just providing some extra snuggles on the couch, I treat every animal with the same patience and kindness I would give my own. Your pet's comfort is my top priority. I have watched many dogs/ cats There is nothing I love more than the company of animals! As a teacher, I bring patience and a structured routine to my pet-sitting, ensuring your babies feel secure while you're gone. I’m a morning person who truly enjoys those quiet, early walks, and I’m always ready for more activity or snuggles once the school day ends. Whether it’s a quick overnight or a two-week stay, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I I have watched cats and dogs. Dogs I take them out when they need to walks if need!and for both i give a lot of attention if need. I also talk to the animal to help them h Feel notice.

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 have been taking care of our bull dogs for seven years now. We adopt and had three before our oldest recently passed away. Bull dogs provide quite a bit of high maintenance care such as cleaning all folds multiple times a day, tail pockets, monitoring skin for yeast or allergies and of course… wiping butts after potty time. At least two walks or forms of exercise a day to keep them in shape for their health and breathing issues; if you see my babies photos, they are in super shape! So caring for three I feel shows my love, responsibility, managing skills and understanding of how to properly and lovingly care for pets. For many years now, I have also cared for a variety of my family members dogs and cats, whether that involves feeding, walking/ exercise, over nights, and loving attention. I am Corporate Life Coach & Counselor so I have a flexible schedule that I make myself, in a variety of towns in Massachusetts ( which is why my radius is so big) I also have a rental house in Dennisport MA, so providing pet care in the Cape is an option too! I love my fur-babies and providing love, exercise and quality time is what your pet deserves too! I will be providing services at your household, so any and all safety protocol will be provided that suits you and your pet to the fullest!

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. I have one of the best facilities on Rover. You will not be disappointed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly other dogs boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.

About: Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student at Oregon State University with a strong passion for animal care and years of hands on experience working with pets of all kinds. Before starting vet school, I worked as a veterinary technician at VCA Animal Hospital, where I gained valuable clinical skills and became comfortable administering injectables, giving oral medications, and providing attentive, high quality care to every animal I worked with. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own: prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. While my schedule in vet school doesn’t currently allow me to have pets of my own, dog walking and pet care gives me the perfect opportunity to still spend time with animals and helping pet owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. As a first year vet student, I use dog walks and visits as a refreshing break between classes and studying. It’s a great way for me to destress while still spending time doing what I love...caring for animals. I provide care in my clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions closely: feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications. While I currently have two cats in my apartment and am unable to host pets in my home, I’m very reliable with drop in visits and dog walking.

Brittany was great! Updates were brief and straight to the point, but she reaches out when/if something is out of the normal routine. I loved how she interacted with all my pets, especially my dog Nori, who is so hyper! She was very flexible and easy to work with. We came home to a clean house and well-taken care of fur babies. I would definitely book her again in the future 😊 thanks for everything, Brittany!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Ashland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ashland is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 10,586 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Ashland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

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.
