About: I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs all throughout my childhood. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages as well as rabbits. I have experience in elderly dog care as I had taken care of my elderly dog, helping him stand and ensuring medications were given on time. I have two adoring kittens who I’ve raised from 4weeks old, i’ve had cats all while growing up. I can do deep litter box cleanings if asked. I strive to not only meet your needs and make you happy but also ensure your pet is happy and feels loved under my care. I work early mornings and get out at 2pm at the latest, meaning I have the majority of the day to be able to walk, play, and spend time with your pet(s). We can soak up the sunshine and they’ll always get dinner on time. I love to play with your pets, ensuring they get their energy out and have a good time. I love to go on walks with your dog or play with them in a yard.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for geriatric, diabetic, and epileptic dogs and cats, making me comfortable with special needs pets who require extra attention. I’m skilled at administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and monitoring pets for any changes in their health or behavior. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds—always focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time as a Veterinary Assistant, which gives me hands-on experience with animal care and handling in a clinical setting. I’m also a student enrolled in an online Veterinary Technology program, so I’m always learning and expanding my knowledge about animal health and behavior. Because of my flexible schedule, I have availability on some weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. This allows me to combine my passion for animals with my professional training while giving pets the love and attention they deserve when their families can’t be there. Whenever I’m in a home with pets, I make it a priority to tune into their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Every pet has their own personality—some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and belly rubs. If your pet is the snuggly type, I’m always happy to curl up with them and give all the love, scratches, and attention they need!
“Nicholas was really friendly and on time! He was very good at handling Kona (who tends to jump) and was able to handle his pull-y nature. Very grateful for all of Nicholas’s help and I would not hesitate to ask for his services in the future.”
About: Hey there! My goal is to help ease the stress of leaving your pet at home when you can't take them with you. I have had dogs since I was a kid, 4 Newfoundlands, a Black Lab-Brittnay Spaniel mix, and I now have Charlie, a 9 yr old German Shepherd-Black Mouth Cur mix and Finn, a 1 yr old Heeler. Finn came to us as a puppy, so I have plenty of experience dealing with those puppy messes and temperaments. Most of our newfoundlands had hip problems near the end of their life, so I have no problem helping with senior dogs that need a little more care. I have also had multiple cats throughout my life and now have Luna, she is 11. Summer is here! If you need someone to check in on your dog while you take a day trip to the beach, I'm happy to stop in and spend time with your furry one. I would ask that we plan a meet and greet prior, then we're all set for those last minute plans! I have 2 boys that are in school, so I'd like to spend time during the day helping other pet parents. My flexible schedule gives me the ability to be available on short notice. I am willing to fit in weekend time, but just need a little heads up due to family activities. I am happy to walk and play with your pet while I visit. If they like a good brush, I'm happy to bond with them in that way, too.
About: I have been fostering dogs in my home for the past 2 years and have cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Through fostering, I've gained experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, routines, and people. I also volunteer monthly by taking foster dogs on field trips around town, to parks, and on neighborhood walks to help with socialization and exercise. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I am available anytime and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care whenever needed. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, daytime check-ins, evening care, overnight stays, or weekend attention, I can accommodate their routine. I understand the importance of consistency and will make sure your pet receives plenty of care, exercise, companionship, and attention while you're away. In my home, pets will stay in a safe and welcoming apartment environment. While I don't have a yard, I regularly take dogs on walks around my apartment complex and to a large nearby field where they can enjoy exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. I closely supervise all pets and make sure they have access to water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, litter box cleaning, and companionship. If crate training or crating is part of the pet's routine, I can safely crate dogs when supplies and instructions are provided. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, fresh water is always available, and they receive the appropriate amount of interaction based on their personality and preferences. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hello! I am 25 years old with a ton of animal experience. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and for the most part have trained my families dogs. I went to High school at Norfolk Agricultural High School and was a Veterinary Major there. My High School gave me the opportunity to meet, handle, groom, and train dogs that were not my own. I was also in a 4H club at Natick Organic Farm in which I took care of the live stock that lived there. I have always been the go to dog sitter for my extended family. Due to this I also had to handle dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. I am currently working on becoming an Airline pilot so my days are very wide open and can be manipulated to better suit the care for your pets. I am familiar with most dog training tools. Depending on what is best for your dog I am comfortable using and have been trained to use. I also understand that every dog has different needs.
About: I had a family dog growing up from the age of six all the way to twenty two. I have a kitty who is 3 years old and her baby who is 1 years old. I had the best bunny for 7 years. I also have a couple regular families that I watch their fur babies! One family has 3 super energetic, fun, loving pups that are so fun and also have 3 pretty kitties. Another family has 1 dog who is the sweetest girl in the whole world and melts my heart. Another has 1 dog who is such a good boy. I love them all so so much and would love to welcome your fur babies into my life to care and love as well ! I am currently a part time hair stylist so I have days off and time to come hang out and spend time with your fur babies 🥰🐶🐱 I am able to come and watch your fur babies and play with them and feed them as needed. Walks and toys are our best friends, if there are any instructions they are always followed for the best care for the fur babies
About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of breeds of dogs and cats for the past 14 years. I am now transitioning into a new career and looking to help families with their pet needs. I am also happy to water plants and assist with light housework if needed. I currently am in between jobs, so I have an open schedule through June and July. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and stay overnight if needed! I am a respectful guest in all homes, ensuring rules are followed and security measures are in place. I am great at reading animals’ body language to maintain a good relationship and trust with all animals. I would prefer to meet in person before agreeing to watch your pet to guarantee a good fit.
“Alyssa did a great job walking my dog. This was a last minute request from my side, and she responded well. She arrived on time and was able to walk my dog around the neighborhood. She communicated well and performed services as expected. Will definitely recommend her for any dog walking services.”
About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
Abby has been absolutely wonderful with Remi. I really appreciate how communicative and responsive she is, and it’s clear how much Remi enjoys her time with her. Abby doesn’t just take her for a walk - she makes sure she’s hydrated, comfortable, gets her treats, and feels cared for. What I value most is how loving she is toward Remi. The cuddle time and attention she gives her genuinely matter, and it shows.
Sarah has been an incredible dog walker and caregiver for several weeks for my Great Dane, Max! She treated Max with kindness and patience, and built a trusting relationship with him—a gentle giant who's still in his adolescent phase. I always felt confident knowing he was in calm, capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I forgot to cancel some scheduled walks, and she promptly refunded the charges. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and personable dog walker.

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 your Ashland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ashland.

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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
