Aubrey was amazing with our dog! He looked so happy in all of the picture updates we got from every drop in, and she was very communicative throughout the stay. Would highly recommend her care for your needs!

About: What sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my experience. I have started and trained puppies, maintained pets care and their training, and I have assisted senior pets in their finals years and moments. I worked on a farm, was a live in pet nanny where I aided in their well being and trained dogs, I have had dogs my entire life, trained dogs basic commands for the animal shelter, and I currently volunteer at an animal shelter! To say pets well being is my passion is an understatement! I even study dog breeds to make sure each dog gets the best care they can. I currently am super free because I am on summer break from college. I am open and available for your pets whenever you need! My schedule is super flexible. I will treat your home with the upmost respect, that is a guarantee. I will keep it clean and tidy. I am available for lots of play and walks with your pets!!

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.

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.

Taylor was amazing, as usual - not only with my older dog who she has cared for before, but a brand new to our home puppy. Taylor was a great communicator, prompt to each and every visit, stayed the allotted time engaging with the dogs (even the cats made their way into a couple of pictures,) she sent many pictures, and even cleaned up a few puppy accidents. Thank you Taylor, it's nice to have someone you can trust with your furbabies (and your home).

About: I grew up in the country where we were no stranger to dumped animals. I would clean up and care for them until we found them a forever home. I have also worked in a pet boarding facility where I cleaned, fed, and provided enrichment for over 150 dogs a day. I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to be there for your pets. I have the time to get to know your pet in order for them to feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I am very strict when it comes to following a pets schedule. I know they are too. I plan to keep your home feeling like you never left for your pets.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the home my entire life and adopted my own the first chance I was able to provide a stable environment. I often take care of my parents' 3 dogs in addition to my own! I currently work full time during the week but have plenty of time of the weekends to go for walks and/or host your furry family when they are unable to tag along with you! I have a very friendly 3 year old lab mix that is able to keep your dog entertained during stays or walks. I live in a complex with a large trail surrounding and dog park to offer plenty of exercise and socialization as well!

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!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kiddo. Animals including dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, cows, horses, goats, lizards, etc. I try to make the pets feel very loved as their own family would. I have experience administering medicine. I have a full time job, but am flexible and can provide potty breaks when needed! I cannot keep the animal in my home, but would love to keep them in a place where they feel comfortable!! I try and make animals feel as comfortable as possible in their own homes! I try and stick to their normal routine as much as possible

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $20.54 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 388 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ashland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ashland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 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.

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
  • 93% 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.

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.
