“Dora was absolutely fantastic- she sent daily updates and it was clear she was taking good care of our pup. We ended up having an emergency and needed to extend our trip by 3 days- she saved us a huge headache and saved the day by being available to stay longer. She left our house clean and well taken care of. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Gizmo again!”
“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!”
“Bryce is amazing! He is such a nice person! He took wonderful care of Skeeter at the house. Skeeter told us that she had a great time with Bryce. She even went to look for him when he left. We highly recommend him to take wonderful care of your animals! 😃🐶!”
“Adison was great, she was prompt to respond when we texted for updates. She also left the clean as it was when we left. I’d recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
“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.”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was away for just over two weeks and never once worried about my dogs care while traveling out of state. Sage was the perfect choice for my 10yr old golden retriever..she is a very attentive and loving animal sitter and I am incredibly grateful to have found her for our family dog care - we will definitely use her again. 🐶”
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.
“Kristen did a great job taking care of our kitty, pond fish and plants, as well as keeping the local strays kitties fed per our instructions. We will certainly hire her again!”
“Kori was amazing with my dog Rosie! I felt totally comfortable leaving Rosie with Kori in her home and with her dog Sully. Kori was excellent at communicating. She is kind and caring. And I picked up a happy tired dog! I will definitely hire Kori again.”
“Ana was a great dog sitter for Hank! She took great care of him and left our house spotless. She was communicative and also very flexible with our timing and an unexpected Internet outage. I would highly recommend Ana to anyone!”
“Beyond grateful to have found Sarah! She took on my anxious little pup with zero issues and was great with providing updates. Such a relief to know my girl and house were in excellent hands while we were away!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life. I have dogs myself but I also dog sit for neighbors. I have lots of experience with dog walking and house sitting. I’m also happy to give testimonials as I’m aware I have few reviews! I’m currently working part time but my job is very flexible. I have plenty of time to take care of and walk your pups! I am also very flexible and will try to accommodate your needs as best as possible. I have a nice apartment with many cameras and pet relief areas. I also live near many parks and fenced in dog areas. Your pup would also have a companion most of the time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashland
Erika took fantastic care of Lucy and communicated with us on a regular basis; sending cute pictures. She followed Lucy's schedule and was flexible when a quick change in food was necessary. Erika even left a detailed message explaining all she had done with Lucy on the last day. I will definitely call on Erika again; Lucy loved her!
Matthew was an amazingly professional and caring sitter. I received continual updates with pictures. My dog was so well cared for. He went above and beyond to assist us including a last minute change and kept me abreast of all happenings. I trusted him with my girl and he amazed me with his connection and love for my dog. Highly recommend!
This was our second time having Emily take care of our sweet kitty and puppy. This time we had my parents dog as well that she cared for. Emily is amazing. She goes above and beyond, and has the gentlest and sweetest energy. The animals were all happy and at ease when we returned, and the house was spotless. She is a true gem.
Dora did a wonderful job dogsitting for a week at my home. My two dogs can be a handful, but Dora managed their quirks and and left my home in wonderful shape at the end of her stay. She communicates well and kept me informed daily. I highly recommend Dora. My dogs love her, and they behave better after her visits than before! I will continue to hire her in the future, and you should, too!
I was very happy with how well Benjamin cared for my dogs! He was an excellent communicator and sent daily photos, videos, and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pups seemed happy, relaxed, and well looked after when I returned. Overall, I’d book him again for his attentive dog care and would recommend him to others who value good communication and happy, well cared for pups.
Jordan’s many positive reviews allowed me to feel good about using Rover, for the first time, for an overnight sit. Jordan is a relaxed and steady seeming fellow and I truly appreciated his willingness to stop by prior to the sit so that we could have an in-person intro beforehand.
Annalise was great with our animals! We came home to a happy and healthy dog and cat. She sent us pictures and updates every day with how they were doing and made sure we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about them. Will definitely be utilizing her services again next time 😊

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 220 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 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.
