About: Hi! I'm Emily, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to five furry family members—two dogs and three cats. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with anxiety or medical needs. As both a pet sitter and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience administering medications, caring for pets with separation anxiety, and providing individualized attention based on each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through reliable communication and updates. When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul. I work full-time as a preschool teacher during the week, but I am available for evening, weekend, holiday, and overnight pet care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for multiple pets of my own. I'm committed to providing dependable care and will work closely with you to maintain your pet's normal schedule and routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping in for visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
About: I do not have any pets, but i do regularly take care of my old roommates dogs while they are at work or out of town. I also watch my sisters three dogs while she is out of town for vacation or for work I currently for overnights monday through thursday. I am off at noon during those days, so i am free in the afternoons. I don't work friday through sundays, but i occasionally do with my other part time job but it is seasonal. I don't have any of my own pets. My schedule doesn't allow me to, but i would love to help family take care of their dogs as if they were mine!
About: I love animals. I've had dogs of all sizes and of varying breeds my whole life, from my current pack of dogs including 2 chihuahuas to the 120 pound yellow lab I used to have and dogs of all sizes in between. I love all dogs and spend most of my free time with my dogs, from just feeding them and letting them out to playing with them and even grooming them myself. Despite my mild allergy to them, I also love and have lots of experience with cats. I used to cat sit for my parents friends and have spent lots of time playing with and taking care of cats for my parents' friends and my late grandmother. I'm currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I feed and let my own dogs out when I get up around 9 AM and then dinner time is at 6, with lots of potty breaks as needed in between and play time as their moods determine, averaging around 3 hours of high activity play per day plus lots of mental stimulation offered with puzzle feeders and whatever other games I come up with. I have a fenced yard and 4 very friendly dogs of my own, but I can make sure your dogs get leashed before going out if needed and can crate dogs as needed. My babies are spoiled enough to be used to sleeping with people, meaning I'm happy to snuggle your babies as they're used to.
About: I have pet sat since I was 13 years old off and on for friends and family. Then at 20 I got on an app called wag and booked with strangers to pet sit there. I was in a difrent city and it's not as popular here so I thought I'd give rover a try! I love getting to know new animals and can't wait to see how many I get to know on here. Im working part time right now Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3-6. So ive got plenty of extra time on my hands to feed, and play with your cats or dogs ! For dogs I'll go on walks, lay on the couch with them, feed as instructed, play fetch, and go to the dog park (if the dog gets along well with other animals). For cats I'd lay on the couch with them, play with them, feed as instructed, and change litter as needed.
About: I grew up in a small town with horses, dogs, and cats. I have been an animal lover since I was just a little girl. My Aunt had a kenneling facility that I helped with throughout the years and growing up. It was more like a little staycation for furry friends while families traveled for various reasons. Customers always came back relieved because they knew that their pets were in great hands. My responsibilities included keeping the living space sanitary and comfortable, feeding, watering, cleaning, exercising, and monitoring the animals' health and behavior, and obviously a lot of added love and play time! I dog sit for a few people (friends/family) here in and stay at their homes when they are gone and love it so much, I decided to check out Rover! I am hardworking, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether you kennel your dog or prefer not to I am your go-to girl when it comes to any of these needs!

My schedule is very flexible, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I do not board pets at my own home. However, I will care for your loved one/ones following your instructions, feeding, providing fresh water, exercising, administering medication if needed, and cleaning up after him/her. I will also maintain the home's cleanliness and security and keep you updated on your furry friend/friends' status.

About: I’ve enjoyed and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was old enough to walk, grew up with German Shepherds, Pit-bulls and a Pomeranian full of energy. I’m currently working remotely and have the flexibility to care for your pet anytime. I manage my schedule two weeks in advance making it a lot easier for everyone. For now I can only offer dog walking services, home-sitting, and day visits. My goal is to not disrupt their routine and help them stay calm while they enjoy some light activity.

I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for small dogs if needed! Our backyard is very large for all size dogs to run around!
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 876 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ashland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
