“Deirdre took great care of my cat Nami for four days while I was away on vacation. My cat is picky about playing, so I left a few playing tips. It’s good to know that Deirdre was actively trying those tips to play with her! Besides, Deirdre followed our routines for feeding, and cleaning litter boxes. Thanks Deirdre!”
“I was EXTREMELY anxious about leaving my pet, but Danya made me feel completely at ease from the start. She offered to have a meet and greet which was wonderful! Danya was incredibly kind, communicative, and reassuring. She sent regular updates and photos/videos that helped me relax while I was away. It was clear that she truly cared for my sweet Ava as if she were her own. You can tell how much Ava took to Danya! When I returned, Ava was happy, well cared for, and in great spirits! I’m so grateful to have found Danya and will definitely be booking with her again. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! She has definitely earned the title of “Star sitter”! ❤️”
“Salina is the best of the best. My cranky old lady cat continues to be a huge fan. I can’t put into words what a relief it is to know that my girl is in good hands when I have to leave town for a few days. Many, many thanks, Salina.”
“Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.”
“After bringing home our 8 week old puppy, we found out we’d have to leave him home alone in the crate at 10 weeks old. We were so worried about this, but felt INSTANT relief once we met Lindsey. Lindsey went above and beyond every single day to take care of our Remy. And he loves her sooo much. She even stayed 30 minutes extra one day so that they could sit outside while our apartment building was testing the fire alarms. She genuinely cares about animals and will do the most for your pet! I’m a teacher so I’m on summer break now, but we will 1000% be having her back in the fall to walk Remy again. Please don’t hesitate to book with Lindsey… she’s the best!”
About: My family began taking care of different dogs at the beginning of 2024. Our licensed home kennel is a single large house with a fenced yard where the dogs can play. I work mostly from home, and my mom is a housewife, so we’re both able to spend plenty of time caring for the dogs. We’ll also share photos and videos with you to make sure you feel confident that they’re having a great stay with us! We would like to schedule a meet-and-greet (a one-night trial is preferred) before the actual stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. To follow state regulations, we require that your pets have an up-to-date rabies vaccination and that you provide the records for us to keep on file. We also need your pets to wear a collar with their current license attached. My parents and I love dogs and cats very much. We know they are part of your family, and we will treat them as part of ours as well. Thank you for trusting us! Since I work mostly from home and my mom is a housewife, we’re both home throughout the day. This gives us plenty of time to care for the pets, supervise them, and play with them as part of our daily and weekly routine. I have a clean, dedicated bedroom that can be used as a private space for pets if they need their own room. I also have a backyard that is partially fenced where pets can safely play. Whenever they are outside, I stay with them to provide supervision and ensure they are safe and comfortable.
“Rachel has been an awesome find! She is flexible and super communicative. We appreciate her attentiveness to our boy Moose and look forward to continuing to have her care for him!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.
About: Hi! My name is Kianna :) I am a nurse in Framingham, MA. I have loved dogs since I was born and have worked at two rescue shelters as a dog rescuer in both Boston, MA (MSPCA) and Tampa, FL (Mercy Full Project). I rescued my own amazing pup, Winnie, myself in Tampa and would love to take care of your pup(s) whenever you need :) I am currently a nurse and have pops of free time that I would love to use hanging out with dogs and caring for them! I have a big fenced yard and all of the toys and supplies needed to care for your pup, Winnie would love a friend too!
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, my own pets and my family/ friends pets as well. I love dogs and I consider myself as a good, responsible and caring dog sitter. I have pet care as part of my regular routine. I make sure any of the pets I stay with are fed on time, have fresh water, get enough exercise, and receive attention throughout the day. I also keep up with grooming, cleaning, and any appointments they may need. I’m also available for boarding Monday - Friday anytime I take care of pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I follow their owner’s instructions and routine, including walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping their space clean. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Lauren was great while we were away! She stopped by twice/day to check on our kittens and feed them, clean the litter box, change the water etc for ten days while we were on vacation. She also was super helpful by checking the mail each day and bringing our trash and recycling to the street on pick up day. We also liked getting photos of our buddies while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve not lived a single day without having one or two dogs in my home. I have such a special place in my heart for dogs and no matter what kind how big, how mean, or nice it is I will make sure it is cared for and loved as much as it can be. I work part time at a nursing home in Medway, but my hours are not extremely long, and I have the flexibility to leave when needed to care for pets if they are located nearby. During the school year, I am a student at Bridgewater State University, so I will primarily be looking for pet care services in that area. My classes end no later than noon each day, which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings, as well as in the mornings when needed before class. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like family. I love spending time with them, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention to make sure they feel loved and not ignored. My dogs at home and I spend a lot of time on walks and hikes. I also have a fenced in backyard where they can safely run and play. I am very comfortable handling larger dogs on leash and can manage any that may pull. When I care for a pet at a client's home, I make sure they have everything they need while I am there, like fresh food and water. I also make sure they get lots of playtime and attention, and toys to keep them entertained. I will ALWAYS follow every pet's individual routine and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.
About: I am a reliable dog sitter with lifelong caring experience for dogs. I grew up with two dogs, so I understand routines, behavior, and different personalities. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and will always provide loving attention and care. I treat every dog like my own and will keep owners always updated. I work part-time at a restaurant, which gives me a flexible schedule with strong availability on weekday mornings and early afternoons for fun time with your Pup/Dog! I will prioritize safety by following your dogs routine, keeping your environment secure and giving them needed and loving attention and care at all times!
“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”
“Wonderful cat sitters: conscientious about following all care instructions, very caring toward cats and tried different ways to to engage and build their trust, provided detailed updates and pictures/videos daily, and great communication throughout the process. They were also so thoughtful to clean up the cat litter areas. Highly recommend. Will definitely hire them again, if they are available. Thank you, Joyce and Chao!”
About: Over the past 5 years fostering dogs through a local rescue, I’ve cared for pups of every personality—big and small, young and old, from playful goofballs to those with behavioral or medical challenges. My goal is to create lasting bonds with dogs and their families, offering compassionate, reliable care tailored to each unique dog. I work remotely from my home in Framingham MA & hence have fairly flexible availability to handle your dog. So I can adjust to your schedules & make it work. For me, fulfilling your dog's mental & physical needs are of utmost importance. I strongly believe in discipline and routine that gives a dog a defined structure to live & flourish. I also actively listen to what the pups' families convey and respect the routine that they provide and keep that up as much as possible.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ashland is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
An Exceptional Pet Sitter - I Can't Recommend Brittany Highly Enough! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittany! I found her through Rover under less-than-ideal circumstances. My previous pet sitter had fallen through at the last minute, and I urgently needed someone to care for my elderly cat, Butternuts, while I traveled out of state to visit my parents, who were experiencing health issues. Needless to say, I was anxious about leaving Butternuts, particularly given her age. After carefully reviewing several sitters on Rover, I chose Brittany, and I could not have made a better decision. From the beginning, Brittany demonstrated genuine compassion, professionalism, and an extraordinary level of care. She understood how important Butternuts is to me and treated her with the kindness and attention that an elderly pet deserves. What impressed me most was the peace of mind Brittany gave me during an already stressful time. Knowing that Butternuts was in such capable and caring hands allowed me to focus on my family without constantly worrying about my beloved cat. Finding someone you trust with a cherished pet is no small thing, especially when that pet is older and needs extra attention. Brittany exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful to her. I would recommend Brittany without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional pet sitter. Butternuts and I are both very fortunate to have found her!
We couldn't have asked for a better first experience as first time dog parents! Nikkita sent tons of adorable photos and kept us completely in the loop with updates on walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands!
Gianna was super communicative and attentive, she did a great job taking care of our nervous puppy and making sure he had the best experience for his first Rover visit. She was also so thoughtful about small details, like cleaning his Kong toy and bringing in packages, which goes such a long way :) will book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashland is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 11,123 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashland. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
