“Katia took excellent care of our two cats! We enjoyed seeing the photos of our fur babies when we were on vacation and were very pleased with the care Katia provided them. We will definitely have her care for them in the future.”
“Brijana is truly more than just a "dog walker", "dog sitter"....she is a professional dog lover who truly takes care of each dog under her care as if they were her own. Brijana is responsible, dependable, honest and trustworthy. She is someone who has the highest integrity I have seen in a long time. I and my husband are overly protective Pet Parents. Our 17 year Golden Retriever is our child. We were very skeptical of Brijana when we first met her due to some of the previous people on Rover were not reliable and some did not show up for the initial meet and greet. However, Brijana was early, she connected with our Dakota instantly. During our time away, Brijana sent photos and texted updates on each visit. When we returned home, Brijana went the extra mile and washed the pre-made containers of food and had them stacked in kitchen neatly and in order. When met with Brijana, we knew our Dakota was well taken care of when we saw him go straight to her when she walked in and his tail was wagging. If you are looking for someone to care for your little one for an hour, a day or a week and longer, you MUST book with Brijana. We trust her with our most important treasure - our Dakota. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Ken & Jay”

About: I love animals of all kinds. I had my own dog for 8 years since it was a puppy. 3 years ago, I adopted a rescued kitten. My daughter and I frequent AWA and Animal Orphanage to meet animals. Your pet will be safe, loved and well cared for with me. I am currently home full-time, so your pet will have my attention all day long. Your pet will accompany me taking a walk on a trail and have a play time in the afternoon outside, weather permitting. I live in a two-story townhouse/condominium with a public yard space on a safe and quiet street. Your pet will have an access to outdoor anytime throughout the day on a leash. I have a cat that is very shy, who won't bother your pet. My child (9 years) loves animals and is very gentle and caring as well.
About: Hi! I am a full time biology teacher who has her weeknights, weekends and summers off to hang with your fur babies 🐾 While I was getting my teaching degree, I worked part time at Petsmart in the pet care department where I gained valuable knowledge for the needs and wants of pets. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 Torti cats ages 8-11. I have always had dogs and cats growing up of all sizes so no fur baby is too small or too large for some cuddles! I have also had some not so common pets like hamsters, fish (fresh and saltwater), frogs, turtles and even an Eyelash Crested Gecko! Being a teacher I have learned how to be compassionate, caring and unbiased and I carry these traits into my pet services too! All fur babies deserve to be loved and cared for with the utmost respect and compassion. My fur babies mean the world to me so I will always make sure your fur babies are cared for how I would want my fur babies cared for when mom is not around. I hope you don’t mind me spamming you with cute pictures of your furry loved ones while I am hanging out with them. I believe you can never have too many pictures to capture all of the silliest moments with your “fur”ever family members 🐾 During the school year, Sept - Early June, I can work weeknights after 4 and weekends all day. For the summer months I can work Late June - August any time frame. 🗓️ I am cautious about making sure all doors are locked and fences are locked so no fur babies can make a jailbreak. I am well versed in using different types of harnesses and how to correctly apply them. I always make sure to bring a portable water dish just incase your fur baby needs a drink mid-walk and I make sure to thoroughly clean it between each use. I require to have an emergency contact person in case of an emergency and would like to know what vet/emergency vet you prefer. A meet and greet with you and your fur baby is always the best way to start a fun and safe relationship!
“Donna does a wonderful job taking care of Phoebe. She follows our instructions and shows up when we need her. The house is always secured and she goes out of her way to bring our mail in which we so appreciate! Donna is a definitely a great choice for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have experience with larger dogs, small dogs, and cats as well. I help cater to any special needs or requests you may have such as administering medicine, special diets, and keeping you updated on their well being. Good for quick walks or staying with your pet overnight. I worked everyday in Brooklyn, NY as a dog walker/pet sitter from 2019 to 2023. I have since then been traveling around as a pet sitter for the last two years in-between taking care of some important family business. I have grown up raising German Shepherds all of my life and love to know that I am helping someone's day out by being able to care for their pet while they are not able to. I am currently available for any time and can even travel to you if needed for extended overnight stays. Your pet's needs come first for me. I will care for your pet at your home and follow the routine they are used to. Whatever makes them most comfortable is how I will take good care of them.
About: Hi everyone! My family and I are huge animal lovers. While we love all kinds of pets, cats and dogs hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud parents to Boo and Luna, our wonderful 6-year-old sibling cats, and Nena, our energetic, fun, and loving 1-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix. What We Offer: -Dog Walking: We love staying active! Walks can range anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the weather and your dog's energy levels. -Bathing & Grooming Support: I can easily accommodate special requests for baths. Having worked through bath-time anxiety with my own dogs, I have plenty of patience and personal experience making it a calm, safe process. - Drop-In Visits: I’m available for drop-ins to assist with feeding, play, or potty breaks—whatever your fur baby needs while you're away. - Boarding: I would love to host your dog in our home! To ensure a safe and happy environment for both your pet and ours, I require a quick initial meet-and-greet at my home first. If you have any questions or want to see if we're a good fit, please feel free to send a message. I'd be happy to chat! Im a stay at home mom with a lot of availability. I am able to provide one on one time. Walks, play, training if needed. I love all animals and I handle every pet and home with the upmost respect.

About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Jenna helped watch our two dogs Murphy and Lulu while we were away for a week. We were so grateful they were in such good hands! They went on lots of walks and were well fed and had lots of playtime! Jenna gave us lots of updates and photos which our family loved since we missed them so much! When we got back we could see how happy and well cared for they both were! Jenna was caring and trustworthy and I know our pups would love to have her back!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond for Wyatt and I today! Previous walker canceled last minute after I had already left home & she popped right in to save the day! Really appreciate the quick response & the help she provided beyond Wyatt - he was very happy when I got home, so grateful! Thanks Alyssa! We’ll see you soon 😍”

I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.
About: **Back from a pregnancy hiatus! Kids are now in school and I’m back at it with a passion for walking and for animals!** I’m happy to take your furry family member on as many walks as you would like! We can also play or get lots of belly rubs in a drop-in, whatever lifestyle your pet is into, I’ll take note and adapt. Personally, I’m very active so if you want to tire your dog out, I’m your go-to dog walker! I love running with dogs so for the high-energy furballs, we could do about a 3 mile run. I get along really well with animals in general, and haven't met a dog I haven’t loved. I’ll humbly say, I think they feel the same way :D I’m currently only providing dog walks and drop-ins, but I’m extremely reliable and punctual, and my schedule is very flexible at the moment so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your request is last-minute! Thanks! My kids are in school from 8:10-2:45, so I am 100% free and at your disposal during that time, from Monday-Friday. I could definitely fit in a weekend emergency as well! I follow individual instructions from pet owners regarding what their pet needs in a drop-in. I will meet each pet at their energy level and give as much love as I can while at it.
“Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
We can't say enough about how happy we were with Brianna's care of our pets. We have 5 indoor cats and 2 ferals in our household. The twice daily (AM and PM) responsibilities included giving one of the cats 2 medications daily, multiple feeding instructions for wet and dry foods, and litter maintenance. Brianna provided thorough communication and photos on all visits. Notably, Brianna demonstrated keen observational skills and diligence by contacting us when it appeared someone had been to the house between her visits (it was a family member who had stopped by to pick up something). It became clear that Brianna is not just smart and dependable, she really loved our cats and took care of them as if they were her own. We would not hesitate to have Brianna take care of them in the future.
Margot took very good care of firefly! She even took the time to play with him which we really appreciate! Firefly seemed to warm right up to her which speaks volumes to her natural love and attentiveness for cats! Also , she was very adaptable when we had a little key /lock mishap (my fault). thanks again ! Definitely will book again
We had such an amazing experience with Samantha, and we truly couldn’t recommend her more! Not only did she make sure our cats were happy, well-fed, and loved, but she also watered our plants! 🪴 She always included the cutest pictures in her updates which always made us smile! We even came home to printed photos of our cats along with a kind note—it was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that meant a lot to us! 🥹 If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly kind, she is absolutely the best. 🙂
We booked Avery for a full week, multiple times a day, and are so glad that she was available to help with our dog Lacey. Avery is responsive, communicative, and did a fantastic job with our pup. She sent photos and/or videos each day and did a great job with our dogs medication. We will definitely look to book with her again the next time we need to be away. Thanks Avery!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashland is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $23 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 November 2026, there are 8,764 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 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
