About: • 3 years as veterinary assistant • 1.5 years as a kennel tech for boarding • 3 years as an equine handler for youth pony rides • 6 months shadowing professional dog trainers • Enrolled in Animal Sciences at MU with pre-admission to MU College of Veterinary Medicine Despite the many years I have dedicated to animal care, my passion only grows. My experience in veterinary medicine has provided me the knowledge and confidence to recognize and handle emergencies effectively. Through the years I have collected helpful advice on pet behavior, pet health, and handling that I am always happy to share. I am comfortable handling and providing care to dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and some exotics. I have always been recognized for my strong work ethic, and consider your pet’s health a top priority! I am currently working part-time in addition to being a full-time student. Weekends are perfect for me to care for your pet, however I can make some weekdays work as needed. In my client’s homes I am comfortable conducting any routine no matter how specific as I understand the complex needs of every pet. I am very thorough with directions, and have extensive experience medicating animals and handling emergencies.

Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!

About: Hello! I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I have always had at least a dog and a cat. Currently i personally have a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about two years now. I would love to meet your furry friend! I currently am working 4 days a week but am free after work and my days off. My days off are Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I will be attending school starting in November so my schedule will change then. I currently have a 7 month old puppy and a two year old cat, but have always had a pet so I have taken care of pets of all ages and breeds. My friends and family all have varying breeds and ages of dogs and I am comfortable with all of them! I always make sure to spend a good amount of time with them.

Taylor was amazing with my kitties. I really enjoyed her updates and pictures during her check-ins. She made sure they played, and stayed fed and watered while I was away. I had normal mom anxiety, but Taylor helped to ease any extra by being professional and easy to communicate with. The kitties looked happy to play during her visits. Would choose again. Thanks, Taylor!

My kitty cats were so well taken care of! I got updates every visit with at least 3 to 4 photos each time. I absolutely adore my babies and missed them a lot so that was such a nice thing to have everyday 💗 They took so well to her - even my reserved/shy guy Niko was super playful and friendly and they were definitely entertained when she came for visits! 5/5 🌟s ALL THE WAY!! Thank you for taking such good care of them, playing with them, feeding and cleaning the litter daily! Greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻🤗🫶🏻

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. Throughout high school, I regularly dog sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family during weekends and vacations. I have experience caring for animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m dependable, patient, attentive to routines, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work full time during the day, but I dedicate my mornings, evenings, and weekends to pet care. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make time to ensure pets get the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they deserve. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. Having grown up with dogs my whole life and with years of pet sitting experience, I’m comfortable caring of animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while creating a calm, trustworthy environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of two very stubborn cats since I was little, and recently got one of my own. She’s also a bit of a handful, but I love her dearly and have greatly appreciated being her human. Aside from this, I’ve taken care of several really old dogs with good care. The good thing about me is I’m almost entirely flexible! Need me for night stays, I’m there. Need check ins throughout the day, I’m there! I have little tying me down and am happy to help out. I always take care to ensure my apartment is completely safe for my cat Sarah; I always double check the door is locked tight before leaving. I’ll be supervising your pet the entire time, monitoring carefully and attending to their needs.

Konnor patiently waited through a delay the office had to let him into the building. He looked after Finn as good as any could expect and protected our dog’s needs as an anxious dog.

About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime weather it being my neighbors or the animals at my jobs. I am very reliable with animals, and I have experience because I have worked at a dog boarding place for 2 years! At this moment my availability is some what I work at a restaurant so that could interfere if it’s an earlier notice I’ll be able to fit you in my schedule easier! From past experiences I have gotten a list of chores that needs to be done for the animals (example: walking times, feeding times, playing time, etc).

About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.

About: Animals have always been my passion, ever since I was young. Having four dogs and two cats at home, I’m experienced in multiple types of pets! Any special requirement for any dog is never too big of a task. Keeping the pet happy and comfortable is my top goal. I have worked with a senior dog, keeping him comfortable and as active as he can be was somethin I took pride in doing, puppies are also no trouble. Entertaining and making sure they potty where they’re supposed to. Messes are no problem though, upset stomachs are something that happen and it’s okay! Accidents happen too and I’m up to cleaning it. My schedule is normally pretty open. I have taken care of three dogs for years, and then having one more to the group to make four. I would be going to your home to help take care of your dog or cat. Keeping them comfortable is my main goal, I always wait with patience and take my time to try to bond with your pet.

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant and see dogs and cats every day! I have grown up with animals my entire life as well of all ages. I help my friends out with their pets as well while they’re away! 4. I have my own dog that I take care of daily and my best friend also has a dog that I’m around constantly. I’m available almost every night and can send updates any time about how they’re doing! I always make sure to let my dog out every 4-6 hours and we go on walks for about 30-45 minutes each time. I also make sure to give her plenty of attention and check that she has clean water. I’ll open curtains for her to look out while I’m gone at work and let her sunbathe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 192 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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 sitter.
