Dora is awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, which we were so grateful for. She took great care of our pup and left the house in great condition! This was our second time having Dora take care of our dog and we were glad to have a reliable sitter! Thank you!!

About: I've had lots of experience especially with small dogs. I've been a foster parent for the humane society and ended up adopting a dog that I fostered. However, he recently passed so there are no dogs in my home at present. I may have a small dog in my home from time to time as I'm fostering again. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, too. My home is quiet and comfortable. I'm currently working very part-time, so I will have time to care for your treasured dog. I'm available weekends, too. I'm out of cell range during the day on some Thursdays. So if you try to contact me on a Thursday, it will take several hours for me to get back to you. Otherwise, my response rate is exceptional. I have a fenced back yard with a small lawn. If you have me care for dogs in my home, I have crates they can use. Environment is quiet and tranquil.

Keeley was very kind and competent. Scout seemed to like her right from their first meeting, which gave us a lot of confidence. Since we were away for four days, it was a huge relief knowing he was in such good hands. We felt comfortable throughout the stay, and it was clear that Scout was well cared for. We'd book with Keeley again without hesitation and would definitely recommend her!

Karen set a high bar of excellence while caring for Gemma which began during our meet and greet. Gemma took an immediate liking to Karen, rarely the case with people that Gemma doesn't know. While I was away Karen texted multiple updates and photos, and checked in to be sure I had returned as planned. I have only the highest of praise for Karen to watch over any one's furry family member.

About: I've been taking care of my own dogs since I was a child and have regularly helped neighbors and family friends with their cats and dogs while they were away- even my friend's mice while they were traveling and my previous roommate's three rats. I'm home from college for the summer and would love to spend my time with your pets! I have a very flexible daily schedule that can adapt to the needs of your pet. My parents have two dogs, one of which is very loving but does not handle other dogs very well. Because of this, I'm not comfortable bringing pets back to my home, but I am very willing to come to your pets to take care of and spend time with them. I am available for shorter drop-in visits, with feeding, play time, and/or walks, as well as longer visits and overnight stays with your pet.

We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!

About: Welcome! I’m happy to share with you that I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years, including dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals, plants, and homes. Throughout that time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs—from energetic puppies/kitties and large breed dogs to senior pets who require medication, extra patience, and specialized care. *Before we move forward; an important sidenote to share is that you might notice in my review section some people will call me by my nickname, which is Azraiel, I’ve had that name for so many years that I have to include it in this little section here so that everybody has clarity😇) Moving forward~ One thing that has always mattered to me is understanding that every animal communicates differently. Dogs tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves, while cats often express themselves in much quieter ways. Learning those differences has helped me recognize when they’re excited, anxious, playful, uncomfortable, or simply looking for reassurance. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and mood because those small details often tell us exactly what our companions need. I believe our animals are family members who trust us with their lives, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with that same love, respect, and attentiveness that I would offer my own family. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. I also know that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure, so I do my best to follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, bedtime, or simply giving them quiet companionship when that’s what they need. I bring a calm, patient presence and allow animals to build trust naturally, never forcing interactions. Along with compassionate care, I believe professionalism is equally important. I value clear communication, thoughtful updates, and dependable service. I enjoy sending photos and messages so you can relax knowing how your companion is doing while you’re away. You can also count on me to arrive on time (usually a little early), carefully follow your instructions, and treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. My goal is simple: when you leave, I want you to have complete peace of mind. And when you return home, I hope you’re greeted by companions who feel safe, loved, understood, and genuinely cared for. That’s the standard I hold myself to every time I care for someone’s home and the family members who share it. Lastly, I know what it’s like to place your trust in someone else to care for those you love most, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! 😊❤️‍🔥 Thank you for reading my little note here, I appreciate your time and energy~ Looking forward to connecting with you and your pet fam! 🐶🤍😻 I have in the past few months opened my life up in a way I have never done before. I wanted to experience a lot more freedom and flexibility and so that’s exactly what I have:) Well, that doesn’t disclose an exact schedule, I do want to communicate that I’m happy to discuss whatever schedule may reveal itself. I’m sure we can work something out:) You’ll notice the similar theme in what I expressed here compared to the other sections, regarding safety, trust and environment. I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but considering that we’re talking about a person’s home and family, I think, touching on repeated themes of trust, integrity, and good stewardship are well worth a revisit: 🤓🥰 I know that when you invite someone into your home, you’re not just trusting them with your house—you’re trusting them with members of your family. That’s a responsibility I hold with great care, and I don’t take it lightly. My goal is to honor the routines you’ve created, provide calm and attentive companionship, communicate openly, and care for your home and your animals with genuine respect. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines while also paying close attention to their comfort, behavior, and individual needs. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a visit, you can expect thoughtful updates, dependable communication, and a home that’s cared for with the same respect I give your companions. I strive to leave your home just as you left it—clean, secure, and well cared for. Above all, I hope you can leave with complete peace of mind, knowing your companions are safe, understood, and cared for by someone who truly sees them as family. My commitment is to provide faithful stewardship of both your home and the family members who share it.

This was Louis' first time watching our dogs and he was absolutely amazing. Harper is 7 and has never stayed with anyone ever in the 7 years that we have had her and Bailey is almost 10 and had 1 sitter when she was a couple years old. We plan our travels so that the dogs can come with us but unfortunately couldn't do that this time. Louis was patient and caring and a wonderful playmate for our girls. He sent pictures throughout the day and kept in great contact which I really appreciated. We will absolutely hire him next time and I will be sharing his information with my sister who needs a new sitter. ❤️

I am so happy with Erika’s care for our two dogs. She stayed the night with them, took them for walks, and gave them lots of love and attention while we were out of town. I loved that she communicated so well with me and sent pictures of my fur babies, which was a huge comfort to me. I knew my dogs were safe and looked after with affection. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her.

About: I have over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes lifelong pet ownership, kennel work, veterinary shadowing, and professional pet sitting through Rover. I am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, dogs requiring medications (including oral and injectable medications), and pets with special routines or needs. My goal is to provide a calm, structured home where every pet feels safe and comfortable. I understand that every dog is different—some love to play, while others simply want a quiet place to relax. I tailor each stay to your pet's personality, energy level, and routine whenever possible. Safety is one of my highest priorities. I carefully supervise introductions, monitor body language and stress signals, and use separate spaces, baby gates, and crates (when appropriate or requested) to ensure every pet has a positive experience. I believe thoughtful planning and honest communication create the best boarding experience for both pets and their owners. My husband Andrew and I work together to provide attentive care, which means there are two experienced adults available for walks, playtime, supervised introductions, potty breaks, medication administration, and lots of affection. I don't believe every dog is the right fit for every environment—and that's okay. My goal is to ensure every booking is the right fit so every pet can have the safest, happiest, and least stressful experience possible. Whether your pet is staying overnight, spending the day while you're exploring Southern Oregon, or simply needs a safe place to relax while you're out to dinner or attending an event, I strive to treat every guest like a member of our own family. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to maintain it while they're in my care. Whether your pet enjoys active play, leisurely walks, or simply lounging nearby, I tailor each day to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work part-time outside the home, but my schedule is intentionally arranged around pet care. Throughout the day, your pet will receive regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment, exercise, plenty of affection, and opportunities to rest. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is doing well. Your pet's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide care in a calm, home environment with a fully fenced backyard, baby gates for flexible separation when needed, and thoughtful introductions between dogs. I believe every pet deserves an environment that matches their personality. Some dogs enjoy having a playmate, while others are happiest relaxing on their own—and that's perfectly okay. Our resident pets include: • Benny, our friendly German Shepherd/Border Collie mix, who enjoys meeting new dogs but understands that not every guest wants to play. • Cricket, our tiny 6-pound Chihuahua mix, who generally prefers to quietly observe from a distance. Every once in a while he'll decide another dog is his new best friend—and if that happens, they've definitely won the lottery! Because every pet is different, I supervise interactions closely and adjust the environment to help everyone feel comfortable. My goal is never to force interactions, but to create a positive, low-stress experience for every guest. For first-time boarding and daycare guests—particularly larger dogs or adolescent puppies—I may recommend a Meet & Greet beforehand to ensure my home is the best fit for everyone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ashland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ashland on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 211 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
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
