“Anna was wonderful! She was very accommodating of my busy schedule to get a meet and greet in virtually before her stay with my pets, and was available on short notice in this instance. She sent pics and updates, and my pets were happy and healthy upon my return! Would 100% rebook.”
“Anthony was like a family member to our Goldens, and Kat’s too. He went above and beyond, was reliable and sent photos at each care spot. Will use him again. Recommend!”
About: I have had a dog or cat (or multiple!) in my home since I was a small child. I love to walk and experience nature through a dogs eyes, as well as rest and love on cats in the comfort of the indoors. My schedule is quite variable at the moment, which leaves me free for last minute visits with your fluffy friends! I am almost always free in the evenings if your pet needs someone to serve their dinner 🍽️ I aim to give your lovely four legged friend(s) the most compassionate care possible. Loving on your pets gives me great joy and makes my day!
“Alivia took good care of our pets while we were gone overnight. Three pups and two cats can be a lot to manage when they all have their quirks and issues. She was communicative and sent us pictures. Would recommend and we’d book her again if needed!”
“This was our first time using River to house sit and take care of our dog, Zoe. We were very pleased!! He spent quite a bit of time with Zoe, was very attentive to her, and sent us lots of photos while we were gone. As other pet owners know, having someone you trust to stay with your beloved baby is a necessity for worry-free traveling!!!”
“Isabella did amazing with all my babies! Willow my Great Dane absolutely loves her. Gizmo my anxious little Yorkie is so calm with her and doesn't care that I'm gone when she's there. She also took care of my bouncy kitty Jazzy and kept her busy and out of trouble. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Ehlana went above and beyond for our cats. First time here for Ehlana, tornado sirens went off, she got herself, cats, food, water, and bedding to the basement and back when safe. Her care for our cats was exemplary for the rest of her stay. Very responsible and dependable sitter . Highly recommend!”
“It was great having Kennedy taking care of Kushi! She was so kind and lovely with him. She treated and played with him as he was of her own! I would be definitely working with her again in the future :)”
“Taylor was great house sitting with Harvey, our slober monster mastiff. After a long 4 day weekend, can't even tell she stayed over, cleaned up better than when she arrived. Thanks!”
About: My philosophy is to provide your pets care and attention as if they were my own. I have provided care for friends, family, and hired to walk, dog/house sit, check in etc. ranging from puppies through senior pets who might need extra care and support. I am accustomed to providing individualized care to multiple animals as specified by owners. I am currently in graduate school to be an occupational therapist! I am happy to work with you to find what works for us both! I do a lot of studying and reading which can be with your pets. This also means I need breaks and movement, which I can do in alignment with your pets schedules! I will follow the owners care instructions to a T on their do’s and don'ts! I also like to ask questions as needed to ensure your home, pets, and myself are safe and in tip top shape throughout!
“Morgan was so sweet with our pups! She came to meet them and us ahead of our trip so we could all feel confident in the situation. She sent lots of photos and made sure they had plenty of play time while we were away.”
About: I grew up with numerous pets; cats, dogs, hamsters, and even a sugar glider. I love animals and the playful energy they bring! I am used to caring for multiple animals at once and have no issues doing so! I’m currently a full-time college student. I am available on the weekends and in the early morning/late evenings during the week. I enjoy running and being active so I’d love to have a furry friend to accompany me! I currently live in a townhome with a large unfenced yard that faces the woods. I can easily crate if needed and I am very active so active dogs are welcome!
“Bailey did an amazing job with Brandy! I had never left her alone with someone who wasn’t family, and Brandy can be a bit anxious, so I was nervous, but Bailey did great with her. She sent lots of photos and let me know when she was coming and going from my place. Brandy got put on medication the day before I left which she took in stride. Highly recommend!”
“Brianna was awesome! I was worried leaving all my babies for the first time, but she took great care of them. Great communicator, sent me some cute pics and reliable! Would 100% recommend!”
“Janae saved us by last minute being available for a long trip when our original plans cancelled on us. She house sat and watched our dog and two cats while also helping out with trash and mail. Janae helped us have peace of mind while we were abroad and we felt comfortable knowing she was at home watching our fur babies. Would definitely book Janae again in the future!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, with over 3 years of professional dog sitting experience and a lifetime of love for animals. I've raised and trained three of my own dogs from puppyhood and shared my life with four wonderful pups in total. Even during my toughest times battling cancer caring for my dogs brought me strength and joy. I treat every dog I care for like family, with patience, compassion, and plenty of tail wags. As an off-campus student at Mizzou, my class schedule may vary slightly each semester, but am generally available most days throughout the week. I'm flexible and happy to work with you to find the best times for your pet's care needs. Currently, I do not offer in-home boarding for new clients due to my two dogs at home, b continue to provide this service for existing clients. For those pets, I have a secure, fenced-in backyard where they can safely play and exercise, and I keep extra crates on hand if needed for rest or comfort. For dog walking services, I always bring a portable water bowl to keep pups hydrated- especially during warmer days-and use an adjustable harness for dogs that tend to pull more. also rotate between several sturdy, high-quality leashes to ensure walks are both safe and comfortable for every dog. Whether I'm walking your pet or visiting them in your home, their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $29.41 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 220 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ashland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ashland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashland. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 88% 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.
