About: My neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me for taking care of their dogs. I have played with dogs of all sizes, including taking care of puppies! I have owned a multitude of pets my entire life. Ranging from dogs to lizards to guinea pigs. My love for animals and caring for them is genuine. Currently, I have a golden retriever, two fish, and a dwarf hamster. I am currently in college, but am very available during the week. I am available Tuesday and Thursday after 1:30. And I am available from 12-2 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and anytime after 3 on those days. I can find availability during weekends if needed. I can walk dogs, play with them, let them out, and hang out with them whenever needed. Although I am unable to board dogs, I am willing stay with them at a clients home.
“Shelby did two drop-in visits for me. My girls were happy to see her and she met their needs perfectly. So glad I found Shelby to take care of my girls when I am away for long periods of a day.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and a firm believer of caring for someone’s baby as if they were my own! I have anxiety leaving my babies for work or vacations and will always be understanding and empathetic to you and your babies during that time! I do work a normal 9-5 throughout the week, as a STNA doing home health, but I have Thursdays and Sundays off and available for all day help you may need! I’m also available for sitting overnight or multiple nights in your home or mine! I do have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own but my doggos are big puppy lovers and love play dates! As an STNA, I am in people’s homes all day everyday and just as I’ve been trusted the last four years with loved ones in the form of the elderly I take care of, I can be trusted with your loved ones in the form of fur babies 🫶🏼 I have a fenced in yard and two playful doggos always looking for play dates! As well as a puppy pool and plenty of toys that my doggos love to share! In your home, I love a good list of your pups routine and will stick to it to keep them happy and comfortable!
“Bridget was excellent with our cats and snake! She was very proactive in asking questions about the care needed by our pets. She communicated with us very promptly during visits and took the time to take a lot of photos of our babies for us. Overall, she was very kind and professional and we both knew our pets were in good hands. We’ll definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”

“Makayla did an outstanding job, We were away on vacation for a whole week and had her look in on the animals/house twice a day. She proved herself to be very loving and responsible! She was able to follow a detailed list of rules and responsibilities & my animals took to her very quickly which is especially unusual for my cat! Highly recommend 10/10!”

About: A Lifelong Love of Animals & Care You Can Trust 🐾❤️ Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was involved in 4-H and had four dogs at different stages of my life, along with two hamsters, a rabbit, and fish. These experiences helped nurture my love for animals and my appreciation for the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs, cats, iguanas, chameleons, fish, and rabbits. In addition, I’ve volunteered at two horse barns, which gave me opportunities to spend time caring for and working around horses. Due to allergies within my household, I’m unable to have pets of my own right now. While I completely understand the need to keep my home pet-free, I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing something I truly love while helping other pet parents feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring, dependable hands. I know pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection. I may not be able to have a pet of my own right now, but I have a lifetime of love to share with yours! 🐶🐱🐰 Pet Care That Fits Your Schedule—and Mine! 🐾 As a busy mom of school-aged children, I understand the importance of balancing family life while making time for the things I love. Managing a household of six has taught me to be organized, dependable, and flexible. Pet care is a wonderful fit for my lifestyle because it allows me to share my love for animals while working around my family’s schedule. My weekday mornings and afternoons are generally very open, making me available to provide attentive, reliable care when you need it most. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My evening and weekend availability is more limited due to family commitments, but I’m always happy to discuss scheduling and see if we’re a good fit. My goal is to make life a little easier for you while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱G Respectful, Reliable Care in Your Pet’s Home: I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and approach every visit with respect, attention to detail, and clear communication. Having previously worked as a professional cleaner, I’m very comfortable entering and securing someone else’s home, respecting their belongings and personal space, and following specific instructions and expectations. I believe in establishing clear guidelines before each service so everyone feels comfortable and knows what to expect. I’m very detail-oriented and mindful of boundaries, both yours and your pet’s. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and make sure doors are locked and your home is secure when I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful pet care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being treated with the utmost care and respect. Your trust is something I value, and I want you to feel confident every time you welcome me into your home.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. We had small dogs and large dogs that had strict training schedules, so I have experience. I also have trained my dog from a puppy! I am available anytime! Just message me and I will be happy to be flexible with your schedules. Even if it’s last minute, don’t hesitate to ask! I ensure that each dog gets the attention they need based on their energy levels or current health conditions. I think exercise is very important!

About: Hi, I’m Debbie! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes dogs are family. ❤️ While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a variety of situations. I’ve had dogs for many years, cared for my sister’s dogs, helped with the arrival of multiple litters of puppies, and have experience caring for senior dogs. I’ve also recently fostered dogs and regularly walk dogs at my local animal shelter, where I get to spend time with dogs of different personalities, ages, energy levels, and backgrounds. I especially have a soft spot for rescue dogs and love helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different. Some pups want an energetic adventure and lots of exploring, while others—including senior dogs—may need a slower pace, extra patience, or a little more TLC. I’m happy to meet your dog where they are and give them the individual attention they need. I genuinely love being outdoors, hiking, walking, and spending time in nature, so getting outside with a dog is something I truly enjoy—not just a job. My goal is for your dog to get exercise, attention, companionship, and plenty of love while you’re away. And I’m a cat lover, too! 🐱 I currently have cats of my own and would be happy to provide cat drop-in visits as well. Whether they need food, fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, or simply some company and attention, I’m happy to help. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. ❤️🐾 My work schedule changes from week to week, so I don’t have the same days off every week. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my available days and times, so what you see on my calendar reflects my current availability. If you have a specific date in mind that isn’t showing as available, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do! 🐶🐱❤️ Trust means everything when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I don’t take that trust lightly. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Safety always comes first. I’ll follow your instructions, stay attentive to your pets, make sure doors and gates are secure, and be mindful of their individual needs and surroundings. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your furry family members are doing while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping in to care for your cat, my goal is simple: keep them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved—and leave you with peace of mind. 🐶🐱❤️

About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and cannot sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, thorough, and attentive to every detail. Most importantly, my cats adored her, which speaks volumes! It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in excellent hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!

Hannah was a wonderful drop-in cat sitter for us. My indoor cat is very shy and generally scared of strangers. I was afraid she would hide the whole time we were gone. Hannah was very patient and looked for her the first day or two to be sure she was okay - just hiding. After that, the cat decided that Hannah was okay and came out when she was there. Hannah spent time earning her trust and by the end, my cat would greet her at the door and spend time getting pets during the visit. My outdoor "barn" cat did not make an appearance, but the food was disappearing most days, and Hannah made sure there was always some there for him. We will definitely have Hannah as a sitter again. She is great!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ashland is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 256 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
